Tbh. I don't think her music has gone downhill. She herself has changed however. Imo. She's a much stronger and brighter person than who she used to be. And the messages she gives in her current lyrics show that. Ayu still does do different things, NL album...and for recent times Lady Dynamite, SLT, DLB, Sunset, etc is not something often heard from her if ever at all.
She does try new things.
If you are expecting the same type of passion and lyrics for evolution then yes, you are stuck in time. Ayu has grown up and continues too as the years progress. She's really seemed to learn how to have more fun with her career and her fans after this time. She doesn't have to write songs about the pain from her father or betrayal and older themes if its not how she feels.
Didn't she once express something about hearing her older songs and being in a state of wonder how she wrote them.
Imo the way ayu is today, this year, is a powerful woman who continues to inspire. With lyrics like from Lady dynamite and SLT...I mean I can't say otherwise. With lyrics from Microphone and DLB she has the ability to still express herself in a cry to people. In a not so shrill voice. But in a voice that is and will continue to be ayu
What u say u miss in ayu. Experimenting, losing herself, pushing herself, and she's always risking failure
How can I say otherwise? Her music is always changing? So a complete genre change on NL is not doing anything new? Just same old same old?
The fact that she even continues to persist on even with a deaf ear, a dying voice, and fans like you implying she doesn't try anymore, she's stronger than ever before these past few yrs.
If u just watch her shows u can see this change. AT09 is the most fun ayus looked like she's had simply performing I've seen. Its the newfound power and joy she has now that radiates from her soul. And the pain along the way can still come back
I understand apparently everyone seems to expect ayu to make miracle music for all these 12 yrs of her career but imo the fact that a fan stopped liking her music by secret is not surprising nor bad. U have 8 great albums apparently. I'm sure ull be fine
Different eras of ayu bring me different things. I am has something rainbow doesn't have. Rainbow has something duty doesn't have. Guilty has something rainbow doesn't have
In the meantime ill inform u if I really think her music is finally going downhill
(Also what do u mean same style. It keeps changing XD as usual)
