Taken Ayu for granted before?
 

Yes, has anyone here went through a phase in their life where you suddenly "realize" Ayu is a horrid untalented musician that is merely surviving on luck?

Mine was last month. It lasted for one whole month too. Every Ayu song sounded lame and formulaic to me. I began to see her faults (yes, she does have them) and even the most minor things got me irritated with her. I even wanted to sell her CDs off. :shakehead Mentally unstable? I just didn't like her anymore at all.

Until last week, I just popped in (miss)understood to find out the exact problem with her songs. And I found none. In fact, I was shocked, the CD was so good! And then, I decided to listen to her 2006 releases again and requested them. Qwerty uploaded, I listened, and I'm in love all over again.

Her new songs are really unbelievable, they aren't bad at all. Especially Startin', I find it so addictive. BLUE BIRD too! It's then I realize, I made a mistake. All her old songs are not bad either, UNITE and the whole Duty album sounded unique and very memorable. Being a rebel, possibly? I'm just a teenager after all... Sorry Ayu! I mean, not as if you understand this or anything, but... I ORDER RAINBOW NOW! YOUR CD! YES! I LOVE YOU!

Tell your stories if you ever experienced anything similar!

Honestly, people tend to go through their phases :p

I never really went through a time when I was like 'ew Ayu.' XD But I really sometimes might've felt 'Wow, I'm listening to her a lot o____o'

Just goes to show that Ayu is getting BETTTEERRR and BEEETTTEERRR <3 Freakin' awesome woman, she is. Her faults are what make her human [she's not perfect!].. I mean just look at CDL and stuff lol. I can't wait for AT06 if you can't tell already..

Viva Ayu!

^ Don't worry, your time will come. :D

It's been 4 years+.. so I dunno..

I've had on and off periods but nothing too severe. Ayu is definitely my artist of choice <3 ELT comes 2nd. xD

No...not ever..=P

haha.. NOW, i tend to listen to less and less of ayu. nothing new is released. and listening to the newer songs will bore me soon..

no not me, i've only been into Ayu for about a half a year, but i used to listen to her before that, and thought, "meh, her voice is...bleh, these songs are...." And stuff like that, but i learned to appreciate her ovice and the uniqueness in it. I thjink that i've gone through phases where i lose love for certain songs and don't listen to them much anymore, but i've found myself at the moment in live with Duty and her other older albums. Dont' get me wrong, i love her newer hits and albums and all that, but i guess it's not my insterest right now.

for the first time i heard her songs (before i become a big fan of her), i found her old songs were iritating..especially her squeeky voice and some her songs including trance sound on them...

but after i found out evolution PV played on MTV..
wow..i love her very much since then~
finally..i love her old songs that i used to hate..

Sure, sometimes I get tierd of pop music in general, but never really ayu's music. If I get tired of pop music there's always her trance albums, classical and even the warzaw orchestra. ALso when I get tired of pop music I'd rather listen to something more experimental like industrial or techno or instrumental classical music.

And BTW seh isen't really a musician, but an entertainer or Idol.

um... this happend to me last night, im a reborn again Ayu fan :P

I think since she's successfully created a few compositions for herself, we can say that she has some musical talent.. :p

i have been her fans for about 8 years..and i never feel like that
maybe sometimes i got bored...but its just stay for one hour and then i will listen to her songs again

yes i have....my first 1.5 year of being an Ayu fan i loved everything abot her but now i sometimes when i think of Ayu and i don't like something about her i think to myself "omg Ayu is so annoying, pissing me off, man i hate her!" but when i listen to her music and watch her videos i will fall in love hehe, when i say mean things about Ayu it's just me i don't actually mean it, just sometimes when i get disappointed but i still always love Ayu >_<

I have sometimes phases in which I can´t stand an artist^^ I can´t hear namies style and qoHP stuff at the moment...dunno why but still I like them^^

I never felt like disliking Ayu!
There are songs I am dissapointed about (like Carols, Blue Bird) but I am still totaly Ayu obsessed^^

I just feel like Non-listening to Ai Otsuka, Gackt, L'Arc en ciel and Hyde at the moment.
I am just listening to Koda Kumi, Yuna Ito, Mika Nakashima, Hikki and some other artists I am new into ohh and to Ayu's Music naturally!^^

I've sometimes just got bored of listening to her too much, or like now, I'm just bored with the over-synthesised stuff at the moment, but I've not yet felt like I didn't like her. If I get bored I just listen to other artists, or have more than one in my playlist.

Your non-Ayu-liking period was quite noticeable, haha, mentally unstable... sure ;).

Well, I don't think I will ever experiance anything like this, it's simply not like me. What I start liking I stay liking, even if the initial super-wow-love might fade in time.

It was just recently I stopped listening to her around all the hours of the day.. hehe. I rediscovered MY STORY when I got the DVD-A version though, so I've been listening to it quite a lot the last few days... About You...

I have periods where I just listen to this one artist, and sometimes this artist just happens to be not Ayu. But it seems like all the artist on my playlist switch around, but it seems like the only one that never really shifts position. :P

The good thing with Ayu is, even if her 2006 stuff isn't that good (I so far like it, but a lot of others don't), I can still pop back her older stuff and enjoy the Duty album or something.

And surviving on luck? don't we all in this world? :P

I'm going through the "Ew, Ayu." phase now.

A few weeks after the release of "BLUE BIRD" I didn't want to listen to her music as much as I did before..

I seem to skip her songs when I'm on shuffle.
