I figure that a lot of the production decisions for this were made by her anyway, so even though m-flo was producing, Ayu probably still had to approve everything and write the rap and so on.

I understand what you mean and I kinda agree.
Still I really don't understand how she can release something like this when other people have been releasing far more professional sounding songs (as regards Macklemore, is career is pretty young, Ryan Lewis is just 25 YO, and everything is produced by the 2 of them with not so great conditions so... It is not as if Ayu's career was this young and she couldn't work with the bests).
And I'm not talking about the rap part only. Apart from some segments (the intro for example), the arrangements during the dance parts are really generic and uninspired. That is just my opinion once again I don't mean to offend people.
I just don't understand her level of demand sometimes and I don't understand how the professional around her can approve this kind of product and don't want to go further.
Yet if the great majority loves it, that was the point. It is just sad from an artistic point of view.
