Just because fans have exposure to a larger variety, heart-thumping, electro whatever music, you deem something that is on a simpler side as boring.
Just like when Ayu sings about love, people don't feel that it is all that genuine. Why? Because there's millions of love songs out there. Yet you want her to sing about being lost and depressed because not everyone is willing to be so forefront about it.
And does she really NEED to be the top again? No. Does she really need all the attention again? No. Why? Because she has already done that and like I said, already earned the respect of fans and Non-fans alike.
and what jbrat said on Page 9 is so true. That's what i mean by Some Ayu fans are really spoilt.

Ayu fans are DEFINITELY some of the most spoiled fans out there. Not even I am exempt from that. But it's all in how you handle it. If you don't like Rock 'n' Roll Circus, just simply don't listen to it. Same goes with anything else she puts out. And if you find yourself more and more not listening to her music then at least you know that she just simply may not be the artist for you anymore. Some people grow apart from their favorite artists, some people don't like some albums they put out, and honestly, that's okay. But ******ing and moaning and complaining about how something isn't what you expected or is something you don't like is not going to get you your way any more than shutting up. And complaining most certainly is not going to raise her sales.
So I think fans should just come to realization that Ayu's music is always going to change and her sales may just continue to drop. I have to admit, RnRC's sales are kind of frightening me right now especially since I genuinely thought it was going to do better than NL. But I bought a copy, I did my part and unless I get a maternity test proving Oprah is my mother, there isn't much else I can do at this point. It's the same for all of us, all we can do as fans is continue to support and love Ayu. Besides, hundreds of thousands of fans don't show up to her concerts because they don't at the very least like her lol. And we don't come on this site (some of us, every day) to talk about someone we don't at least like as well.
So no matter how low or even how high Ayu's sales get (because that's possible too), let's just take joy in the fact that we did our part if we were financially able. And let's take joy in the fact that we all do truly love her, even if we get a little disappointed at times.
And that's my long post for no reason xD;
