I mean, every artist has 1 or more CDs that do badly. Heck, if Ayu got discouraged by CD sales then her career would be loooong over.
Also, for me "Identity" was one of her best albums. Maybe the songs aren't as catchy, but I found them to be very high quality.
And her Identity tour? So much goodness there.

to the bolded part.
And I really wish I liked the Identity tour but I just don't. I was one of the people who thought the album for it was very weak and, in turn, already judged the concert before even watching it. (I know that's wrong. I totally shouldn't do that.) I liked
The End そして And... but I feel it draws on a little bit too much. Possibility was all right. Not good. Not bad. Catchy, that's for sure. But that's it for me. But then again, I also really liked her english album 'BoA' and, if I remember that wasn't too favored by fans, or at least the fans I've spoken with. The lyrics are awful "I'll eat you up, yum, yum"
but damn if I don't still dance to those tracks. xD
However, she's gotten
much better at making her own music since then. It's been really nice watching her grow as a producer/lyricist (Clockwork
). I just wish she would release more stuff so we could enjoy it!!
