I totally disagree. If anything, people down-play how excellent Ayu's recent releases have been, in particular Bold & Delicious/Pride. To be frank, I have yet to hear one convincing argument articulating why Ayu's latest music is so awful. "It's poppy" or "it sucks" are hardly valid criticism. Koda's hasn't released anything on par with her ~secret~ material since its release. I find it ridiculous to call Ayu's well-crafted, inventive, and incredibly polished pop songs ubiquitous or generic when Koda Kumi has been pumping out far more forgettable, disposable music for well over a year. Sorry for being brash, but I find it sad when there are more people who bash Ayu without justifying why they don't appreciate Ayu's recent work than there are who give her the praise she deserves.
