^ I enjoyed your take and appreciate the long post. However, I dislike when artists are bashed because they aren't 'deep' enough. Sure, it's nice to see a deep artist, with a visionary properly expressed - but what is it if the music does not sound good? Sometimes you just want something that SOUNDS great, regardless of if it's mindless, if you can't understand it, etc.

I think I have said it before but I'll say it again. Timmy is one of the best things that has happened for Ayu's music in years. Now I just wish CREA could make a comeback as well at least for one song. I don't mind if it was a piano driven love song, it would be nice if CREA was back someday. I never lose my optimism regarding this fact.

She also needs to start releasing singles again. I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since the last one. I also hope for more TV performances and all that. I'm starting to lose my interest in her again, sadly. :/

And her lyrics... Well, she does has these repetitive lyrics in some songs, but not all of them. But even though I find myself enjoying her music these days (hell, I'm one of those few who love Party Queen! XD) her themes are almost always the same. It's been like that since GUILTY I believe but I didn't really care about it first, because I thought that on new album she'll have lots of new stuff to write about but ended up being disappointed. She seems to use same themes but different words to express herself. But at the same time I just don't care what kind of songs she writes as long as she's personally happy with them. But I do think that albums with a story (like Party Queen) are amazing and she should release more albums like that. Not in same style but so that they have a concept and songs are in a order that tells a story.

What's with her fascination with gyaru fashion these days btw? I have nothing against it (anymore hehe) but I think that she hasn't used this style this much before. I'm kinda over it for now. I want a new fashion style already but I guess I gotta wait until the next album. XD

//Sorry if this message is confusing. I'm just so ****ing tired at the moment. It's 2:10AM in Finland after all
