Anyone remember Sunset ~Love is all~ ? I remember there was so much hate for it when it first came out for being boring. Has anyone's opinion changed on it? I still think it drags a bit but is a nice listen.
I loved Sunset when it came out. In fact, my only gripe with it was that it had all the trappings of a classic Ayu ballad but didn't come together production-wise. Today, I mostly miss the feeling of expecting a new single. So, because Sunrise/Sunset was Ayu's last summer-themed single, I respect and appreciate it much more now than I did then. I just wish that it wasn't the last.

There are many things I can handle Ayu not doing, but the hardest among them all has been her cutting down the singles. The day Ayu comes back and says, "Hey! I'm going to release singles regularly again," will be the day I think a lot of us breathe a collective sigh of relief.
