You can't just pick a composition and paste any kind of lyrics on it. You have to amke the lyrics fit with the arrangement, the composition and everything else, so it is part of producing a song. I find it rather unfair that you treat as if ayu just receive a completely produced song, and make it seem like she has absolutely no part in it, as if she were Britney Spears, when she actually still has a very important role in the producing of her music. Michael Jackson did haev a more direct and active role throughout the whole production of his music but it doesn't mean ayu is completely irrelevant or has a very minor role in th eprocess of her own music production.

I'm a big fan of Michael Jackson, but I really have the feeling that if it were for him to release an album every single year, people would've gotten sick of him just in that period. Actually, quite a lot of old fans from him go saying how "the old Michael Jackson was more inspired and much better. I hear people say the same thing about Madonna. And I actually think those artists have newer stuff that really are as as good if compared to someof theirolder stuff.
Actually I'm right. Her 'team' isn't really her team, they're producers who's job it is to make music. It is as simple as 'she is presented a track,' because that's how things work, The music label will commission tracks for singers from these producers or the producers will make a song and then shop it around from label to label or singer to singer. To say otherwise is stupid because even Ayu has mentioned this system of 'being given several tracks and picking the one(s) she likes' in many interviews. And unless CREA appears in the album credits Ayu didn't have anything to do with the arranging or composition of the song. Writing lyrics and composing a song are two totally different things. Michael Jackson was actually involved with the composing, arranging, and overall production of a song unlike Ayu. And ayu isn't "irrelevant" because she didn't compose every one of her herself, not every singer is born with a niche for making music or been trained and schooled for years in music composition or can even play an instrument for that matter! Ayu sings, she is a pop idol, just like Britney Spears. They're both Idols. They're not musicians, they're not composers, they're Pop Idols.
