- The very lackluster 48 49 50 single releases. How could she not come up with a cohesive concept for them?

- The fact that she contentiously works with the same people, whether the results are good or bad.

- The Love songs Pvs featuring Mannie. The whole concept was lame and it almost ruined Virgin Road for me.

- FIVE minus the cover and photobook

- Ayumix 7 minus AO. But that's probably because the standard set with Ayumix 6 cannot be surpassed.
I would love more wintery-ballads ala No way to say! Days was absolutely brilliant and came together perfectly. momentum was also very nice. Those are the only ballads similar to no way to say with the whole "winter-synthesizer" feeling to them. I guess you could count You were... but that song is terrible. The rest (Together When..., JEWEL, etc) sound nothing like No way to say.
