MY STORY- a huge disappointment:(

[yamogi]

i must disagree with my story is disappointment, i think your taste is quite from japanese. do you know if you tell japanese to vote for album, what place is I am...?, it is always among the second last place(BECAUSE OF THE MELODY )while the last place is RAINBOW(reason why it is at the last is because of Ayu's voice). do you which one is the best? always is Duty or loveppear.

1 LOVEppears 5443 13.39 %
2 Duty 5379 13.23 %
3 Memorial address 5125 12.61 %
4 A Song for XX 5120 12.60 %
5 A BEST 5111 12.57 %
6 I am... 5056 12.44 %
7 A BALLADS 5018 12.34 %
8 RAINBOW


i totally disagree with I am... is the best album(some track such as i am..., never ever and still alone are horrible, i use seversl months to let myself to listen it, the is music is just... i even can't call it is music, the notes are not musically) . duty is a LOT better than i am...

maybe you disagree that, but i want to remind all of you, Ayu is japanese, so her music is mainly for japan.I am really disappointed about all you guys say, i never discover that western people's style ARE that different from Japanese untill MY STORY.i understand people from different culture are quite different, i only want to remind that it is not ayu's music are becoming worse in this album, only all of you can't accept the style that japanese like. Such as my name' WOMEN, almose all japanese say it is great song, but you guys said it is something bad . maybe that is caused by the music that you listen in europe or USA are some kinds of dancing music, but , actually that kind of song in japan is not that many(except BoA, that is the reason why she is being popular, it is because her music is rare(but not sounding good) but it can't stay long, you see, BoA is not popular in Japan now, her album only sells 600,000).

J-pop is what japanese like, you see, ayu is being popluar by her most POP-ISH album LOVEppear(this is the most common album, espiaclly for the arrangment). so,plaese don't say something about 'that is pop-ish, so i don't like', remember what type of songmade ayu to be the J-POP queen.

IMO, my story is almost the best album so far, at least i don't need to force myself to listen to listen to something not melodic (such i am... and never ever).and this album's lyric are SUPER GOOD, much better than I am... , DUTY and RAINBOW.

i think the reason you like I am... is because that was the first time you hear about ayu, also one point, the best song that japanese like is seasons,or voyage, also M is the one they like most. but i don't think evolution will be on the list...( also the song they don't like most is:
1 LOVE ~refrain~ 54 6.6%
2 forgiveness 46 5.6%
3 girlish 41 5.0%
4 Endless sorrow 38 4.7% ( the music is really.... but the lyric is good)

as for this album, i really like walking proud(one of the best song she ever make) also, i absolutely like the rock style in this album ( the reason for all of you don't like, maybe there are too many rock artist in eurpoe or USA, actually there only a few in Japan, and always they are not mainstream artist in japan)this album is at least 100x beter than rainbow(rainbow is horrible)
