But it won't sell... That's why she stopped releasing those albums.

Most of the things people are posting are things that HER RECORD COMPANY AVEX has control over and NOT AYU. (i.e. promotions, lack of remixes, etc.)

[SheFliesHigher]

- Dresses like a senior citizen

Lol what???

-no more trance songs/remixes

I so agree...I would LOVE to hear many of her newer songs remixed to oblivion like everything up til RAINBOW was. Remember when every single had about 10 remixes crammed onto it? Those were the days.

[s1012h]

her summer singles after fairyland c/w alterna just plain suck crap

her hair during Secret-era

her lack of singing bridges in her songs

her "look i'm cute" poses with the lips... :|

-About the lack of collab - Thank god she isn't collabing every Monday and Thursday, she' really original (like hikki) so I don't think she would like to collab that much anyway thanks god!

-About the CM formula, it's not really in ayu's hands, avex promoters choose how they can and should promote her and decide those stuff =P

What I hate about ayu?

Umm, sometimes she's really divaish, I don't blame her though but I do dislike it at times.
Some of her fans that -casually- complain, and some of her "fans" who pretend that they like her (or they liked her but now not really).
People who consistently try to declare that ayu's fake in some ways, ayu is fake like my name is Nora, I myself hate and against artists who are REALLY fake, I mean she is not perfect of course but definitly not fake.

Oh and I want new trance song and remix albums series, remix albums should be decided by avex as well though XD

[[taskin.ayu]]

I hate the Beautiful Fighters PV. XD OMG so lame. D:

I highly agree that a lot of the things here aren't on ayu's hands but on avex trax's , there are some things that does, but yep ayu isn't perfect like everybody.

I also miss CREA a lot. And the remixes.

[Ani_C]

Mainly her lack of experimentation, crappy vocals during lives then in her concerts it's like 'OMG WOW!' I mean if you're only gonna sing well in concerts fine, but you should also try a bit more in other lives that way you keep training your voice, of course not so much that it becomes a strain. Let's see... yes! The repetative seeming Summer songs, drop those. Same thing with the sad ballads, even though I really enjoyed Together When... and am gonna enjoy her new album, she needs another warm winter ballad like Close to You (and I don't care what anyone has to say). She should really try a jazz song, she's NEVER EVER tried (I think).

[Kikaru]

- no more Crea. That makes me more sad than angry.
- the natural hair color. She looks nice with dark hair.

The promotion thing I don't mind. I actually kind of like it, because she's got a solid base of a fandom to be able to release in older routines. Anyways, it's more of an avex job rather than Ayu job. Working with new musicians...well, remember GEO? he was new and the results here were pretty negative. But I would like new arrangers thoughs.

The plastic surgery thing, sometimes it looks like she had them, but other times it doesn't. But really, most artists don't admit to having plastic surgery unless you ask them, and declaring it out of the blue is just kind of weird.

[Ayumiko]

I hate/dislike the fact that:

-she created beautiful fighters: the song and the freakin pv...I hate it!
-the (miss) understood cd covers..such a awesome album and she gave them her worst album covers to date.
-she doesn't compose anymore. I want CREA back!!!
-she releases summer songs that sound too summerish. I want songs like unite!, july 1st, independent instead of fairyland, blue bird, glitter.
-she doesn't create upbeat concert songs anymore that could replace boys & girls, audience, flower garden, humming 7/4, etc
-she doesn't have major tie-ins and different cms. I want drama tie-ins!
-the lack of vocal bridges in her songs (decision is great but I want more!)
-the lack of huge ass dresses in her concerts
-the lack of upbeat pop songs. (I forgive you for creating MY ALL...but make more!)
-the fact that she still haven't released the asia tour dvd which I was expecting to get in november


yes I sound very demanding... I am a big fan of ayu but there are still some things I don't like about her. Sorry ayu!

[ohsixthirty]

i dislike:

- her materialism. life isn't all about cute shoes and designer outfits.
- her lack of experimentation. its starting to feel like each album is the same as the last.
- her secrecy. i wish i knew more about the person behind the music.


probably some others too, but thats all i thought of for the moment.

[nightlightyear]

-- Lack of vocal bridges
-- Pouty/cutesy looks in photoshoots
-- Overuse of dramatic, fake, and incorrect vibrato
-- Recycled set pieces (ARENA TOUR 2005!)
-- Using Shu-Ya as her "lover" in PVs, concerts, etc (C'mon, hes not even that cute!)
-- Unsymbolic covers for albums or singles
-- Her "I'm so silly!" attitude during MCs in her concerts
-- ^ Her fans going "ayu~~~" during MCs or quiet parts of songs

unfortunately, I have a simillar feeling about that.

[cttncandy]

- The fact that she doesn't use Japanese Kanji, Katakana, or Hiragana for her music titles. That bothers me so much! It would be so so refreshing to see her do that instead of just using English words.

- She only releases two singles a year.
Really now, how does she expect to stay on top if she is barely producing new material, people that are not diehard fans forget about artists and move on to different ones.

- She is somehow letting Avex not promote her as much.
Considering Ayu is such an important piece of Avex, I think she should be pushing for more CMs, Advertisements, and Tie-Ins. Really now! I mean she has a new CD out I am sure they could splurge to get her a huuuuuuge billboard smack-dab in the middle of Shibuya!
Promotion Ayu, you need to seriously push for more promotion! If not with the lack of sales, Avex will just keep on forgetting and forgetting and next thing you know.... she's fallen too much =(

- No Collaborations =(

[Ayumiko]

oh yes! forgot to add that in...I want ayu to do a collab with a boy band...not from johnnys...-___- but real bands like L'arc en ciel!

[ImpactBreaker]

collaboerations is definitely something i don't really miss on ayu.....collaborations often reminds me of rap or annoying male+female ballads, neither of which ayu is reeally needing anyway.
