Mainichi Daily article of Ayumi - Page 4

I think they always mention Kuu to make more gossip, because the media likes to compare Ayumi to Koda and say that someone of them is obviously a lot better ans so on... =/

If she still bother to break the news to tomoya 1st rather than any other people, that means she still cannot forget him??

maybe I don't know since both of them probably know each other almost 1/2 their lives

Yeah, as Ayumi said, they are not going to ignore each other, they still go to dinner and stuff.

Haha... But i guess that she usually tells her problems to him when they were together.... But after they break, perhaps this habit doesn't go away...

...

well, perhaps..

Who knows maybe they didn't really broke up in the 1st place but are taking a break of sorts ? I have no idea seriously .

Her hearing problem didn't start this year with her announcing. She's been having that problem for years, when she was still together with Nagase. If she were to be secretive and not tell him about it, then I'd say she didn't love him. How does a couple, living together for years won't know about each other problems?

No matter what.... I hope ayu will be fine even without tomoya..... She knows whats she doing.... =)

**ayumisrael** · #70 21st January 2008, 03:42 PM

ayu is fantastic

ownsarai · #71 21st January 2008, 05:15 PM

Thanks for the article, but it's not really showing Ayu in a positive light, it seems whoever wrote this is trying to say that Ayu is going down since the annoucement of her deafness...and I didn't know she told Tomoya about it. Meh.
GUILTY ONLY #2...wow, I think Ayu is going DOWNHILL guys! *sarcasam*

Suteisi · #72 21st January 2008, 06:23 PM

Thank you so much for the info!

Honestly, you guys are too sensitive.

Not everybody has to write positive things about ayu. As long as they don't resort to batlant lies, they have every right to criticize her and her work. It's not because she's lost her hearing that she has to be treated under a different light, or that people who write articles have to feel pity for ayu. She IS losing popularity, and the fact GUILTY was #2 is definitely a sign of it. I agree it would be more correct for them to compare in terms of decrease in sales compared to the others albums sold, but their example still fit what they wanted to imply.

ayu's losing popularity, but I don't think that GUILTY being #2 is a sign of it. Since when the #2 position isn't awesome?
The total sales of GUILTY might not be so far from Secret's sales and it means that her popularity wasn't slightly decreased as bad as they say, and if they mean since the A BEST era where she was the most popular thing, so what did they expect?

Media is really good at exaggerations.

Her sales have been dropping year by year. Sooner or later her #1 streak would drop too. It could be that ayu definitely face someone whose popularity has risen too much or that is greater than hers, but if someone who used to be on TOP is now facing more and more artists topping her, that is a sign of what then?

#2 is awesome, but the article is focusing on this possible curve (I know they were rather blunt on say "only #2" but w/e):

Well it's pretty obivous isn't it? After 10 years it's pretty awesome her albums are still on top 3, let's not talk about top 5 and 10...

Yeah, that's wjhat's awesome about it! But we have to be prepared that her popularity will eventually decline and that people will comment on it. These numbers and whatever people say about them doesn't really matter to me though, because what I want is to still be enjoying her songs the next years.

Yeah eventually the main thing we need to care about is her music and not her popularity, I think people are just happy when they see that ayu's popular and she wins at stuff and they're used to it, but nothing is lasting forever and as long as ayu keeps doing music which is the important part then we all should be happy and not dissapointed, and ignore pathetic people who actually party over it (the popularity decrease)

^ yeah..come to think of it if ayu music's quality decrease i would be quite disappointed in her..regardless of being popular or not.

''Nothing last forever'' sounds cruel to me but it's reality and we have to face it.

that's true so to speak . I rather ayumi keep on releasing good & consistent material from each album rather than churning out sub par material & yet each album's able to debut at the top which kinda defeats the whole purpose on why she's in the music business in the 1st place .

I always place quality over other issues .
