Has Ayu peaked?

[Akhet]

career wise...i dont mean in terms of sales but rather in the quality of her music. she has had multiple peaks imo, and im sure she will have more. loveppears, duty, and i am all represent peaks of a different kind. each album has a different flavor that carries through and through. all three are very good albums with no filler. the 7 or 8 songs ayu composed on i am are some of the best of her whole career. duty has such ayu classics as seasons, vogue, and surreal. loveppears well, is just flawless....this album is just great.

to me rainbow was a big dissapointment. free and easy, dolls, and heartplace were great, but songs like over and real me were just not as good as ayus other material.

i can say that i really miss ayus old rock style found on the i am album. because of you is brilliant, as is memorial address take 2, but why has ayu stopped releasing rock edged singles? i think that its in this vein that ayus voice really shines.

in any case, i do like ayus recent work with memorial address and moments. but just how many mid tempo ballads can u release as singles back to back?

i think forgiveness was definitely a peak for ayu - what a song.

so anyways, lots of rambling, but what im saying is that ayu has had many peaks in her career and i look forward to her future ones.

but get dai to compose more of your stuff or better yet compose yourself
