And while her music is not bad, I can’t stand her voice. We’ll probably have some covers of ayu’s songs I think.

I can understand this, but I'd also like to argue that none of us consider A Song for XX to be Ayu at her peak vocals. Every artist starts somewhere. Her first single came out last May. It says more about us that we're comparing Kalen 9 months in to Ayu 4 years in. AK has so much room for growth. And lest we forget that Ayu was a product too. The only reason Max signed her was because she was fashionable, attractive, and could write songs. Had he not pushed Ayu to go back to New York, Hamasaki Ayumi would be a checkout clerk at a Shibuya outlet.

It's not like Ayu was acting as a legendary diva though that early on in her career. It just seems like too big of a leap.

Yes, but homies are hoping for Marion Cotillard’s transformation into Édith Piaf in La Vie en Rose, but like... no. Not in this maudlin-ass, stiff af entertainment country. Don’t get me wrong, dorama has its place, but don’t let’s all pretend the McDonalds is getting a Michelin Star for the McRib.

I read on a Chinese site that Daniel Day Lewis was coming out of retirement to play Ayu, but he got Corona and now can’t, so they went with Karen.

I'm considering to re open my Instagram account after leaving the app for 1 year and 4 months just to see their posts (of course I also miss Ayu a lot) but so much content there! What should I do? lol
