It's not even just her though for me. It's also like, the times.
Some of the other artists I listen to aren't even bothering with physical releases anymore
And what ratings are they going to pull being on tv shows, versus any of the big name acts, or even versus other things being broadcasted. What sales are they going to ever have.
I'm happy that now in the world, there seems to be these communities popping up that are dedicated to spreading music in new ways and making things accessible.
But I'll always love the fanfare and the pageantry of entertainment, and Ayu at her peak is such a wonderful example of it. Thousands of people united together in their love of music is very precious, even if it was only always about the money for some of them.
I think that's also what makes tours so wonderful. As long as in the end there are public performances....I think it'll all be ok~
