About Disliking Ayus NEW Songs...
 

Well as the headline says about disliking Ayu's NEW Songs.
There are a lot of people at the moment who really dislike her new songs.
And a lot of people say Ayu goes downhill.
But I am sure alter we'll like this songs.

When I meet her in 2004 everybody disliked Greatful Days-but later everybody liked it!
Or do you remember last year when the Step you/Is this love single came out everybody said "Uhh so bad songs" Finally everybody likes them.

So I think she should wait until we say AYU GOES DOWNHILL.
Later we sure will like these songs.
That's how I think about it.^^

Another topic like this :-O

Well, people tend to get "used" to her stuff as the years pass by it seems.

Yeah, yeah, we get over it eventually. Sometimes she makes good songs, sometimes, they sound plain bad. But I can't take anymore of these topics.

^Yup, me neither. Just because you don't like a new song that she puts out doesn't mean that others can't like it and you have to tell other people not to like it. We have many members here, and I'm sure our tastes are extremely varied as well.

i've noticed the same...everyone complains and then later they forget and like it. its the same with her songs and with her single/album covers.

i felt the same way too actually..but not really that hating the songs..but the songs just had not grown on me..example like, i didn't like "HAPPY ENDING" everytime i heard the song from the album..but after seeing ayu performed the song live..i was like.."Wow..this song is perfect.." and now i even sing the song.. hahaha :D

Most of the songs I didn't like when they were released I still don't really like... probably like immel said, just got used to them, but they're never going to be favourites with me - not ones I actually want to listen to. It's weird how people are still trying to get someone who doesn't like a song to try and like it, but I still don't see those who dislike songs saying, 'give it a while and I swear you'll hate it just as much' :shrug Some things you just don't have any control over, so it's best not to worry about it too much.

O.O...more topics on this...lol. I love Ayu's material...Sometimes I won't like a song but I don't say it's a piece of garbage or anything like that because I know a lot of time and love went into it on her part. Eventually, after seeing it live or "giving it a chance" just fall in love with it. I used to HATE flower garden, but now I actually enjoy seeing the Ayu-hoedown during her concerts...lol

haha. i admit last time i tried to influence everyone to like Bold & Delicious. but now i dont. cos its pointless and a waste of time. if they dont like it, so be it. they cant accept new songs, its their problem. not mine. and definitely not ayu's. a simple analogy: if u dont like to drink coke, den dont drink it. dont insult coke as there are still pple who like it and its certainly not coke's fault.

LOL as if u guys understand my analogy. but its ok. time will change everything.

I don't know why people care if others dislike it or not. :shrug

^That's a great philosophy...why didn't I think of it? It's so simple...

If others dislike it, then it's their choice.

Then again, some people REALLY dislike it and go all out in trying to smash that in people's faces.. o_o. That's when it sort of annoys me XD

But generally, people can dislike what they want.. [remember back when like, everyone hated INSPIRE? XDD]

if people really love certain songs/albums it becomes harder to top it and we get more people dissappointed because New Album doesn't meet the standards of I am.. or Rainbow or whichever album. People will probably like the songs in a couple years and complain about the new stuff :).

I really lyked Startin wen it first came out, then I hated it. It was annoying so for some reason, that was the complete opposite. I lyk it first then I hate it. With the other song on that single, Born To Be.... I really thort it was very average at first, then it started to grow on me. With BLUE BIRD, i loved it wen it first came out, still do, same with Beautiful Fighters. But yes, I have noticed this before on a few different forums.

Lol yea....i agree to this....I think there is no need to compare with her past...

it doesn't matter who likes what...we, her true fans, will always support her.

no, we cannot say Ayu is going downhill, that was the rantings of a fan over her new music...the thread was unnecessary, it was only an opinion, sadly, some people agree, but I must say most don't.

Like I said in that thread...if you think she's gone downhill THAT much, then you're welcome to leave. No one is stopping you or forcing you to stay here...if you don't like Ayu, then why are you wasting your "precious" time on an Ayu forum.

And while this is a friendly forum, where everyone respects each other and opinions, I do think that saying bad things about Ayu does catch attention from her fans (all of the members), I mean that thread was what, 9-10 pages long?

but I don't think that it has become that extreme...I don't think she's going downhill, and I don't think she went downhill, and I don't think there's any warrant to say any one of those.

I belive that the Downhill Thread was created by a fan who was worried and had gotten the "wrong" view of due to the fact that to him/her it seemed like Ayu is going downhill, rather than someone disliking her. Due to various facts that really indicate she does go downhill, in a way. (sales)

imo the thread wasn't unneccessary because it let people air their thoughts, a lot of people probably broadened their view on the matter after reading in that thread.

I agree that the thread had a negative tone in some parts of it, but that's not something that anyone should be too bothered by :).

Yeah, and it still sucks the same.

Whatever Ayu releases, there are always some people who are going to hate it, but there are probably just as many people who love it or at least like it. Obviously, if there are people who genuinely love her new work, she isn't going downhill. That being said, if you don't like her recent work, as long as you justify why you don't like it it's a very valid opinion. In contrast, if you love her new work, there is really no need to try to sway those who don't like it into having an appreciation for it. Even though I love almost all of Ayu's work, from A Song For XX to her most recent singles, I generally tend to favour her recent music, from 2003 to the present. In contrast, I'm sure a lot of people much prefer older work, which is great as well. Either way, you will naturally gravitate to whatever music you really like by her. I think that we should just be able to voice our opinions while not trying to discredit others views.
