[YumeHamasaki]

Like some others have said, Ayu is working hard but her focus seems to be more on her fans that have been with her forever, not undiscovered ones that she wants to lure in with a new single this year. Touring is a very tiresome thing, i don't know if people realize that, i wouldn't want Ayu to be doing to much crap and recording while touring, it'd be a lot since her touring this year is much more than usual. I'm fine with the idea of "Hey, i'm gonna have a big arena party with my fans!!" She set herself up well for all the touring by releasing so much in the beginning of the year. I wasn't expecting crap louds of singles and Ayu to pull out actual good dancing from her but. She's still human, and she prolly knows what she wants to do. Ayu has never shown too much care for how many fans she has, but the loyalty i guess, that's why it's prolly okay for her to see her sales slipping. She's still like the highest selling female artist. her concern is more on her current fans not to grab new ones, this is how i look at it.^^

I dunno why people are into the whole OCD, pattern that she releases singles, i wish she surprised me more actually.

Oh and i forgot, she's been through crap. Tell me if you think you could do half of what she's doing. And don't give me the whole, she's a pro and should dish out. i've said it years ago that she needs to take a break.
