Being delusional isn't the same as having faith or being optimistic Facts are facts.

Aiyaya Nemchan, can u relax sometimes, you are so uptight,... let people think positive, dream a little dream, the world is not short of one more serious guy if you turn a little relaxed, let your mind runs wild

I didn't come to the forum to read some "teacher" constantly teaching the "student" how to be real, lol

Neither did I come here to be taught lessons. If there is something wrong with my posts, there is a report button, if people can't stand reading my posts there is also a little something called The Ignore List I am not stopping anyone from being positive or whatever...but as I said, being an optimist and deluding yourself are two different things

[Zeke.]

I just think the issue arises because people should be happy with what she is selling. It's always the same argument:

"Ayu has been in the industry for ___ years and her peak era was back in ___. Take a look at the other releases, especially among other female solo artists. She has made it to ___ position on the yearly chart with ___ album."

Which is very true. Of course I always hope for good sales but no longer do I ever set a number I hope she reaches. I know people are being optimistic and hoping but I think most people view that as adding fuel to the fire that is the topic of "sales figure" talk when it does come up (ie. Ayu's sales are bad/comparing to other releases, etc.)

Days is amazing and really made me feel like "AYU HAS STILL GOT IT!" when it was released. It was very smooth flowing yet exciting. It just felt complete like most my favorite works by her are. They just sound like they hit the nail on the head when going for that track. One of those tracks that you couldn't imagine any other way. It just sounds complete.

I knew this was going to happen when I noticed you were in this thread after I posted that lol. Once again, I couldn't disagree with you more.

Lol, hahaha. I had to laugh when I read that. Seems everyone knows I am the poster child for how amazing Days is. Haha.

All of these songs have a much weaker chorus than Days. The thing I love about Days is something none of these really have. With these you have to warm up to the chorus as it's not a full WAM-BAM perfect catchy melody. MOON took me forever to like, I can't stand Virgin Road, crossroad took me a little bit too but I do like it now and I am obsessed with November, but more specifically about how beautiful the arrangement is and that's what made me love the song so much.

Days is an emotional winter ballad, and it's better than some of her recent ones like MOON, Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~

Days isn't bad, it's just not as good as the majority of her ballads. I don't think she needs re-inventing though, so as long as she doesn't start singing retarded songs similar to the ridicule kpop is or becomes another JUJU (not that I don't like her) clone >_>
