Is just that there is always some drama around her, she has an attitude that I don't like. And her new songs hardly have the feeling that they used to

There's been drama around Ayu for aaaaaaaaaaggggees, lol. I think it was just normally overshadowed by her constant releases in the past so it didn't seem as bad. Her attitude IMO, is probably appropriate for what's been going on. You can't really expect -Ayu- to be submissive towards avex, right? She's going to put up a fight as she always does.

And about that feeling... I think that really depends on the listener. I feel like most of her songs have that timeless quality (well, since LOVEppears maybe since ASFXX is stuck in the 80s despite being released in the 90s) and have always been rather good songs but sometimes by comparison to her own music, she doesn't measure up which is understandable since she set a REALLY high bar for herself.

Doesn't Ayu own a large percentage of avex's stock? I doubt she would change lables if she did seeing as she is till one of their top artists.

Oh, it appears that Why... in the finale was Urata's version, not JUNO's.

I am super confused can anyone please explain? Why the hell is Ayu switching labels even being considered? Has something happened? lol

SURREAL__RAINBOW · #85 30th August 2011, 12:23 AM

I'd love if she switched labels, avex ruins its artists most of the time.

Anyway yeah, what's happening now? lol

It's not. I have no idea how that came about.

prussian blue · #87 30th August 2011, 01:17 AM

one of the video is set to be private, is there any download link for that?

truehappiness · #88 30th August 2011, 01:37 AM

I think it was set to not private for like a day and then... yeah, lol.

Aderianu probably has a copy.

Misa-chan · #89 30th August 2011, 03:27 AM

Where's all this "fans hate ayu's new work" coming from? I think it's mostly just the same few on AHS stirring up drama again, because if Twitter is any proof, most Japanese fans adore FIVE, especially the collab songs.

The only dissatisfaction that I see comes from a-nation. Even so, most of the reviews from Twitter are good, it's just that ayu herself seems kinda agitated(not sure if that's the right word) over some issue, judging from her recent TA entries.

YUKARI · #90 30th August 2011, 03:31 AM

^yeah, it seems like she's not in good mood nowadays. even the album itself sounds quite dark..

Bigtop · #91 30th August 2011, 04:08 AM

If Ayu wants to switch labels, she should not go to Sony, but I think, in my personal opinion, For Life Music Entertainment (FLME)...?

Aderianu · #92 30th August 2011, 06:36 AM

20110829 doesn't work? yes, I have it... will upload later

This isn't the first time avex is having guest artist perform at a-nation, correct me if I'm wrong, but the DVD has never contained all the avex artists performances let alone the guest ones.

rusuke · #94 30th August 2011, 07:05 AM

I don't get the mentality why some people have issues of Ayu not performing the last part. She's been performing last - I think almost every a-nation festival (Or so I know) since the beginning. This makes me sad.

Anyway, Urata and Ayu are so cute together! Love it!

Ayu is so sexy with her gold outfit!

erika_ayu · #95 30th August 2011, 07:25 AM

damn it, I would rather see her performing with JUNO than Urata ToT

Minttulatte · #96 30th August 2011, 09:59 AM

I don't understand why Ayu fans are so hurt because she didn't perform last. I don't see any problem with it even if Ayu is a legendary artist. Does she really need to be the last performer year after year anyway? Haven't she been the last one since the first a-nation anyway? And if she had an argument with avex that almost told her not to perform, you should just be happy she did. It would be sad if they didn't let her to do that (and I can't even imagine what a reaction that would have btw...).

I don't mean to sound offensive to anyone but I just don't get it, like, at all because Ayu will probably be the last performer on a-nation '12 again. At least I think so.

truehappiness · #97 30th August 2011, 10:03 AM

They didn't tell her not to perform, she felt like she shouldn't. But because she had fans/staff/etc. supporting her, she decided to go on, though she ended up deciding to perform next to last.

I think knowing the circumstances now, it's not as "bad" since she'll be last next year probably.

Yeah, but There is something else behind the fact that avex want her to change her setlist!! If it was only the fan, avex'll do it immidiately & not only for the last show!
