Well of course everyone would want to see Ayu as a winner rather than a cm monster. But just think about it, if she stayed as 'old ayu', people are gonna be bored of her never changing style which is going to lead to fans leaving as well. I'm sure she's trying to prove that even though she changed, she can still make herself a best japanese artist. I think we should actually trust ayu instead of complaining about it...
I think the 'fairyland' single is great. I knew ayu still had it once the 'STEP you' single came out.
