explodingbird, you're right
i know how certain people-fans are around here, and sometimes it's even dangerous to say things CLEAR.
I also shut up 50% times when it comes to ayu...
Ayu is an A-rtist. I was thinking precisely about this the other night. She may not be the best dancer, nor the best singer... but she manages so well to lead people in the marketing industry and in the music entertainment. I do not agree with all things Ayu does, but she's a independent being that has her problems, as full humanity has.
But, as we live with a whole HUMANITY, there may be other artists, dancers, singers, actors... and so on. So why don't we enjoy that DIVERSITY??!!
I want to have a funny afternoon, let's pick up Cutie Honey, I feel I love humanity or I want o merge with nature, let's go for KOKIA, there's certain person... I listen Gackt..
And sometimes one group will be in the #1 because they deserve to be on that place, because they have created a BOOM, and the next week we'll have another #1... all good artists deserve to be on top chart positions..
It's surreal to think that we must buy Ayu CD's just to leave her in the #1 - as Ayu says, WE ARE FREE TO DO ANYTHING WE WANT... and certain messages in this thread are quite oppossite to that sentence. So if you consider yourself a true Ayu fan, take a second to think about what you're doing, and what's the real message of Ayu. This is the important thing, the real message of Hamasaki Ayumi seems that do not reach certain fans. And the message is quite clear in Secret album lyrics. The secret will be always True Ayu Mind, because that's a right she has, she can keep her true own feelins for herself and her idiosyncrasy.
And, what the h***, we're not rich! And people is free to buy other Artist's albums too!
And A BEST II is a compilation that is used , as Delirium-0 said here, to promote the artist to other people that do not know Ayu. We know her ALREADY; we may think it's a good one or a bad one, but we are totally free to buy it or not. Of course I would like it would contain certain new material. But as I am not obligued to buy, I will enjoy my Secret copy because it was an album that was able to got my true attention for Ayumi, for second time, in my story related with J-POP. And I wil enjoy LOVEppears, A BEST, A BALLADS and so on...
