Not even a page in and we already got snarky posts that don't even attempt to answer the question and condescending tags, lol. I love you guyz.

I don't expect that any more, partly because I just see her as making music and whether I feel moved or not is up to me, not her. This is mixed with her taking her music in directions that don't fit with my musical taste.
The focus on being "moved" comes from the fact that Ayu was the first artist to get that reaction from me.
I guess... I view her older eras as superior because I could take all the material and find the songs I loved and the treasures. They were there for me to explore and I could ignore all the songs I disliked because the magic ones were there. When waiting for that next magic song from her I have to wait for her to release all these "disappointing" songs until she hits that magic for me again.

I feel the same way. The way I felt so connected to her music was unexplainable. She opened me up to so many other genres too, because she helped me to view music as a universal language. She taught me that I didn't need to understand lyrics to connect with music.
Interesting last paragraph. I've never thought about it that way. I became a fan around Memorial address era, so a lot of wonderful material was already there before me.
