Ayu's always been her ownself to me. She's like the Madonna or Janet Jackson of Japan; she does whatever she wants. Whether it be a powerful ballad full of intense emotions straight from the heart, or an angsty rock song that confesses what she's going through at the moment.
When it comes down to ANY music industry since 1999, we've seen a lot of fakery (when it comes down to who they are as a person) & a lot of deciet (as far as vocal talent)...But when you look at Ayu's career, you see a person who's grown and evolved over the passage of time. With her changes in style, she's managed to pull in more of a widespread fanbase. People from all over the WORLD, not just Japan can listen to her music and feel as if this song (or this album) is about "them". This is what makes her so attractive. It's not the pretty make-up and the great fashion sense that draws people to her. It's what she has to say that makes her one of the greatest musical artists (in my op.) in the world.
As far as 2005...this'll be one of her best years and the beginning of more to come!
