I wish she would release singles again. It's the best possible promotion she can give her albums, and what has been sorely missed in the preceding...six, eight years? I do miss her double A sides. Rule/Sparkle, Days/GREEN, You were.../BALLAD, MOON/blossom, they are what ultimately sparks interest in an artist...we had Zutto.../Last minute/Walk relatively recently, and it really was a welcome return to form. I don't feel the giddy excitement for Ayu's albums that I did prior to 2010 as now I simply expect Ayu to release a digital single, or churn out a few track snippets a few weeks before the album is due.
Essentially, before her 20th anniversary, I want her to promote the **** out of an original album. I want her to make an effort to really sell an album to me. It's probably not going to be this album, but I hope in the next year or two we finally see Ayu fully exercise her public profile and appeal to the public with her words as she did before.
