I don't understand people's yearning for "old Ayu". Ayu making music that is "old Ayu" resulted in the LOVE again, one of her most disappointing albums. You got a whole era of music from her which sounds like everything she has done 1000 times over in the past 15 years. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of Ayu producing the same old, safe and boring song. There's still a few in this era (Pray, hello new me). Experimental Ayu is where her interest lies for me now. This late in her career, she needs to be pushing the envelope on her past discography, and she has done that in part with Colours. Yes, the electronic shift it's not the most amazing work or original, but it's different for her, and it did produce at least a couple of really good songs (Angel, merry go round, MY WAY collaboration). This is what she needs to be doing musically and she will only get better with finding a new sound as time goes on.
