Alright. That's it. This is going on way too long, and we're all gonna get to the bottom of it. I think the a-nation thread is the biggest piece of evidence that, we need some people to evaluate and accept all the different ways that they and other people love Ayu.

So, the question is:

When you look at Ayumi Hamasaki, do you see Ayu, the human being, or do you see Ayumi Hamasaki the Entertainer? Is there a grey area?


How do you think that affects what you want from what she does? What do you want from her?

Do you think that being so close to Ayu with social media affects your view of
her?

How do you feel about the way other people see Ayu?

Are you a little pig-headed about your opinions?

We are all dying to know. Come on, bring on the drama~


I think, for me, there was a time when I saw Ayu, the artist, a person who was fueled so much by who she was, I fell in love with Ayu the human being...but that never detracted with my love for what I consider good music.

That being said, I don't think I ever thought that Ayu being a product, and foremost a Pop Star, had that much affect on her work....but these days, Im not so sure. The level of control Ayu's had over her decisions has always been substantial, but never more so than now. And well, tbh, I don't like her recent music that much at all. I don't think it's bad, but I don't see it up to the standard of her classic and biggest hits.

I think it always came down to the fact that, as unhappy as I might be, I decided to love Ayu and support her. I might joke around here and there, but no one should make the mistake to think that I don't love her. So, even though I think her crap sucks...I just go and pay attention to someone else.



But I don't think that it should be "the norm" that people who have negative opinions to just, hide away and not say anything. As a community, we need to be able to have discussions without people getting offended with another person's opinions, because, like I said, everyone has a different relationship with her, as a fan, and we all have to understand that.

Whether you like it or not. And it would benefit everyone to see this from other people's points of views anyway.

Accept the challenge that other people think your views are crap. How strong are you and your beliefs?
