I presented this music video to my boyfriend and i felt super bad about it. He said: shit is shit, she is going down. Another person who watched few concerts with me said: "Omg...that's Ayumi..." showing how the hell is it possible she produced sth so cheap. The song may be catchy, but it's really low standard, like really low.
I know that there are people who find it nice, refreshing etc. I'm not and i'm just expressing my thoughts.
I don't know about that... these are radio-friendly tracks. They actually have the potential (like You & Me) to be big with casual listeners. While a lot of her other tracks before have been nice, none after around 2008 have really stuck with non-Ayu-fans, I think, so we've gotten a bit of a 'safe' single from Ayu, but at the same time, she's never really done tracks like these before so it's new/fresh/exciting IMO. I've listened to the songs about 10,000 times in total because I'm so freaking obsessed.

If your boyfriend dislikes Ayu already, I doubt that he would say anything positive about her. And just which concerts did you watch? If you watched AT09 or AT12 perhaps, I would understand... but AT10? POWER of MUSIC? A BEST LIVE? Those are all so well done...
