Recently albums are making much less money than singles in the music business. A single is released with lots of pomp, tied into products and video and whatever, and serves as a project in itself. I think that style suits Ayu very well. She can put so much into crafting each song/lyrics/video/product she works on without filler.
My hope is that she'll start doing interesting projects with each single. Her albums don't sell as well anymore, but each digital single can become a small piece of art on its own and give her the time and space to maybe start writing her own music again, even!  |
Sorry for being a bit off-topic but I want to talk about a bit of Yuming.
Yuming is an interesting artist and she was one of who shaped japanese music now we have today!
I mean... she's so iconic even still today!
She wrote many songs to japanese artists in 80's, one of them, being Seiko Matsuda.
Also, Yuming released an album last year and I recommend so much to listen! Probably, Yumi Matsutoya is the greatest artist alive.
