How can you guys say it's an horrible album (that's very harsh) when you haven't even heard it yet? I think some of you guys or taking this whole thing too serisously. Come on. How many songs have you heard and how many you haven't heard? You guys should stop jumping to a conclusion so fast.
And how do you even know this album is not personal? Have you heard the lyrics yet? Have you read translations? Do you know japanese? Do you know what she's singing about? If you don't like the album, okay. If you're not going to buy it, good for you. But stop coming to this forum and flame this forum with trashy comments. You don't have to say such words and refer her new my album as 'her most horrible album ever' and 'terrible album' to say that you didn't quite like it. After all, you haven't heard all of it yet. Serisously. Some jump to a conclusion way too fast.

Saying 'Well, it's not her best work and not her best album for me. I hoped for a better song.' is a TOTALLY different thing from 'THIS IS AN HORRIBLE ALBUM!!! ARG! I can't stand it! It sucks!!!'. I know that you don't have to like everything she does. Not all of her songs are great. And it's not because you're a fan that you have to love and admire everything she does. But i really think people are jumping on a conclusion too fast about this new album. Give it a chance. After all, Ayu does this for us. The fans.

..i LOVE my story...but im really not seeing any bashing..O_o..ppl..chill. please.
ayu changes a lot...she'lll gain some..she'll lose some. She might lose old fans that followed her old songs, and she'll gain fans who like her current style... but if u dont like a song...thats perfectly fine..don't start complaining though. Ppl complained about MA being 7 tracks...now ppl are complaining abotu crappy songs.. |

I completely agree with Jonny and Shiso on this. I don't believe that voicing your opinion is wrong because that's what I'm doing and what people are suppose to do in a forum, but just the feeling that everyone is giving off is sort of negative. It seems like there are like 20 negative posts to one positive posts here, not that their 'bashing' Ayu or anything, it just gives off that feeling and just makes the stay here at AHS not so plesant. Meh what do I know... oh and yeah I completely agree with Impact too, everyone just thinks what they first heard of Ayu were her best hits because it was new and fresh to them at the time, but now most of us are use to Ayu and expect something new like when we heard her the first time and of course she's not going to repeat that again cause we'll probably end up bashing it anyways and saying it's a cheap rip off of some other song. I think that if she released Memorial address/MY STORY type stuff earlier we would think that was amazing and if she released I am... not we'd be like WTF that's crap. Just my thoughts on it, and I know most of you might say since I'm starting to not like the forum, why don't I just leave, well it's because maybe I'm expected things to get better like many of you are expecting Ayu to improve. I hope that made sense ^^;; Oh and one other thing, many of you are saying her new music is generic JPop but wasn't most of her stuff Jpop-ish to start with? I thought Impact brought up a good point, appears, trauma, monochrome ALL her LOVEppears type work is pretty generic JPOP but we don't bash that because it's the 'oldies'. Maybe I'm just a bit fired up hahaha I should just avoid these threads anyways.

i just never understand why people freak out when someone doesn't like something. who cares?!?!?!?! what's important is that you like it. obsessing about why other people don't like it is not even worth your time.

I have to disagree with this album being a disappointment. It's so different. But I love that is so different. I love that her new album is nothing like her old ones. It's a very different sound and I love it!!

I get the feeling that most of you are reffering to me when you mean "bashing."
Well this album is crap and I don't care what you guys think of my posts. Blah, blah I'm bashing Ayu. Well, she made crap, so she's gonna get crap. All the latest songs have a generic pop-punk sound. I'm just glad she's not going by the genre that most artists use today... Some of you wonder why the people who don't like the new songs are still here. Well, it's not like we've stopped liking Ayu altogether. We like her old music. Plus, some of us are hoping for something good to come along. |

But please don't say she made crap - you could talk about how you don't like it and it's just bad, but I don't think anything someone worked hard on should be called crap. I mean, I like what I've heard (and maybe I'm just oversensitive) but it kind of makes me feel stupid when people say things like that. I don't think it makes any of us bad fans or anything, or takes away from anyone - but some people take things like that the wrong way. |

To me. I don't think this album is a disapointment. Again, her style is changing and it all depends on the fan's taste. I think this album is not the best but still is very nice because her vocals a better. Can control better. =D And somehow, I like how her WHOLE album stuck to ONE style. I mean. When my friend told me "Yah. Sometimes it's good to have variety. But sometimes it's better to stick to one." and I agree. I think it's a good idea for her to have this whole album have one style. ^_^ The songs have a catchy tune. I DO miss the PVs with meaning in it. I don't only want her dancing around on a stage...I want there to be meaningful ones like Because of you or No Way to Say or Moments. Those I must say, am dissapointed. But I guess we'll have to see. =D About You was awesome though.

All I can say is... I deleted Inspire off the HDD the first time I heard it.
Now I'm listening to it everyday  So... I can imagine myself hiding the My Story album under the bed upon the first hearing, then glueing it into my CD player a month after that. Give it some time! (^v^)

i must disagree with my story is disappointment, i think your taste is quite from japanese. do you know if you tell japanese to vote for album, what place is I am...?, it is always among the second last place(BECAUSE OF THE MELODY )while the last place is RAINBOW(reason why it is at the last is because of Ayu's voice). do you which one is the best? always is Duty or loveppear.
1 LOVEppears 5443 13.39 % 2 Duty 5379 13.23 % 3 Memorial address 5125 12.61 % 4 A Song for XX 5120 12.60 % 5 A BEST 5111 12.57 % 6 I am... 5056 12.44 % 7 A BALLADS 5018 12.34 % 8 RAINBOW i totally disagree with I am... is the best album(some track such as i am..., never ever and still alone are horrible, i use seversl months to let myself to listen it, the is music is just... i even can't call it is music, the notes are not musically) . duty is a LOT better than i am... maybe you disagree that, but i want to remind all of you, Ayu is japanese, so her music is mainly for japan.I am really disappointed about all you guys say, i never discover that western people's style ARE that different from Japanese untill MY STORY.i understand people from different culture are quite different, i only want to remind that it is not ayu's music are becoming worse in this album, only all of you can't accept the style that japanese like. Such as my name' WOMEN, almose all japanese say it is great song, but you guys said it is something bad  . maybe that is caused by the music that you listen in europe or USA are some kinds of dancing music, but , actually that kind of song in japan is not that many(except BoA, that is the reason why she is being popular, it is because her music is rare(but not sounding good) but it can't stay long, you see, BoA is not popular in Japan now, her album only sells 600,000).J-pop is what japanese like, you see, ayu is being popluar by her most POP-ISH album LOVEppear(this is the most common album, espiaclly for the arrangment). so,plaese don't say something about 'that is pop-ish, so i don't like', remember what type of songmade ayu to be the J-POP queen. IMO, my story is almost the best album so far, at least i don't need to force myself to listen to listen to something not melodic (such i am... and never ever).and this album's lyric are SUPER GOOD, much better than I am... , DUTY and RAINBOW. i think the reason you like I am... is because that was the first time you hear about ayu, also one point, the best song that japanese like is seasons,or voyage, also M is the one they like most. but i don't think evolution will be on the list...( also the song they don't like most is: 1 LOVE ~refrain~ 54 6.6% 2 forgiveness 46 5.6% 3 girlish 41 5.0% 4 Endless sorrow 38 4.7% ( the music is really.... but the lyric is good) 5 Close to you 34 4.2% 6 RAINBOW 33 4.0% (actually it is a good song) 7 A Song is born 30 3.7% 8 Present 29 3.6% 9 UNITE! 10 P.S II 25 3.1% 11 SIGNAL 23 2.8% 11 INSPIRE 23 2.8% 13 FRIEND2 22 2.7% 13 Daybreak 22 2.7% 15 still alone 21 2.6% 16 theme of a-nation '03 20 2.5% 17 from your letter 19 2.3% 17 AUDIENCE 19 2.3% 19 Far away 18 2.2 the song they like: 1. Voyage 42 4.1% 2 SEASONS 40 3.9% 2 A Song for ×× 40 3.9% 4 Moments 36 3.6% 5 GAME 35 3.5% 6 Who... 32 3.2% 7 Because of you 31 3.1% 8 CAROLS 27 2.7% 9 immature 26 2.6% 10 Key～eternal tie ver.～ 25 2.5% 10 M 25 2.5% 10 HANABI ～episode II～ 25 2.5 (they like the song that you don't) as for this album, i really like walking proud(one of the best song she ever make) also, i absolutely like the rock style in this album ( the reason for all of you don't like, maybe there are too many rock artist in eurpoe or USA, actually there only a few in Japan, and always they are not mainstream artist in japan)this album is at least 100x beter than rainbow(rainbow is horrible) Last edited by yamogi; 10th December 2004 at 06:14 AM. |

^ I think you hit the problem right on!! Because we can't understand the lyrics all we have that we can enjoy from Ayu is her music. And good music she makes. Honestly, I don't think many of us would have listend to Ayu if it wasn't for the melodies and arrangements and etc. But that's not what Jpop is based on. Jpop is still fundamentally focused on lyrics and the message that the song is trying ot get across. So Ayu might have written her best lyrics in this album and we don't care simply because the musical side of the album wasn't brilliant.
All in all I don't think MY STORY is a horrible album at all...just like ASFXX wasn't, even though it was weak musically. I think most people who disliked MY STORY are people who enjoys ear candy like 'I am...' and particularly songs like evolution. I think there is still a sort of cultural difference afterall. edit: oh yeh...you also mentioned something which I think is strange...Ayu wasn't exactly a good composer and 'I am...' imo had the worst melodies out of her discography. Yet it is still so popular. Last edited by gakkun; 10th December 2004 at 06:24 AM. |
