Yes, Ayu will be Ayu. She's a bit of a control freak, but I can understand her wanting things to turn out well. She also said in that CNN interview, "I want to be able to say it was my fault."
It doesn't matter how long it takes to make an album or single, really--all that will have accomplished is wasting time. You guys have to understand, Ayu is so fast-paced, as most of you know
She is comfortable with her pace, shouldn't that be enough for everyone? Ayu is quick, so naturally her release pattern would reflect that~ She will move very fast; that's just how she is: single, single, single, album. Bam, bam, bam. Add a tour and a-nation, and that's just Ayu~!
As for her lyrics going downhill, that's what got her where she is now! She's mainly known for her deep and touching lyrics. <3 I don't understand why people think her lyrics aren't good anymore... She writes how she feels...no one has the same feeling their entire life, right? So Ayu's lyrics are always different, and they always amaze me
If you guys want to see lyrics that all sound the same, just listen to Western music (>_>) It's always the same: "Oh my gf/bf left me I'll go get drunk now" or something of that nature :/ Ayu's lyrics are deep, touching, and half the songs on GUILTY (which everyone seems to hate for some reason) make me burst into tears. Ayu's newest albums are actually some of my favorites, tbh. (m)u (my #1 fave), Secret (amazing album), GUILTY (#2 fave), and RnRC all have a spot on my Top 5 favorite albums. NL was awesome too, it was very fun and techno sounding <3
I don't think Ayu's ever gone downhill, she's just changed her style and tried new things. Funny, most people here say they like Ayu's changing style, yet they hate experimental songs: Bold & Delicious is an example of that
