It's my opinion, as valid as any other, so if your fandom blinds you to say anything wrong about Ayu, go eat a cake, because I really don't give a damn. If you respect my opinion, I respect yours, which is as valid, but please, let's be neutral.
I'm judging Ayu right now taking from the most recent example of her artistry (and I do this with all artistes): Sunrise / Sunset, which in my opinion, is a horrid single. In the same way, I'm expecting Namie's new album to be awesome, since her last single was, imo.
But obviously that doesn't means that You were... / BALLAD can't happen to be the best thing ever and Namie's new album can be a total failure. Anything may happen.
And yes, I think that Ayu as a whole, has some of the best titles for both songs and albums that I've seen, and titles are really important at least for me, since they usually reflect the spirit of a song and are a key component in marketing. If you follow that formula of "oh, titles don't matter at all", then you should complain about people when they say "Oh, the contrast between Sunrise and Sunset sounds so good, it's an amazing title" right? But nooooo, because that's praising Ayu and obviously she can do no wrong.
