She's definitely defying social norms and breaking rules in things like who she hires, who she hangs out with, and who she marries, but where is the rule breaking in her music? Cuz i'm certainly not hearing any.
I'd love for Ayu to be the adult-oriented personal singer-songwriter with beefy, powerful arrangements that make you actually FEEL something when you listen to it. If ANYONE coulda played that role, it coulda been her. And it SHOULD have been her. But it seems like the more daring she gets in her social sphere, the more she seems to tone down her music to compensate.
Her sound is just too smooth now. Where's the Ayu who wasn't afraid to sound rough around the edges? These days she'd rather sound like a MIDI file than offend anyone's sensibilities, and.... that offends MY sensibilities, I dunno about you guys lol.
