I like this thread too. Though sometimes knowing the reason why Ayu chose to write a particular song is exciting and helps me to understand her message, she is Ayu and I am me. I can't order her to do as I command because then her music wouldn't be special. It's fun guessing what could come next (more rock Ayu please
) but I want Ayu to put out music that she is happy with and proud of. I don't love everything she has released (I'm still trying to get into RAINBOW) but if I am going to criticize it, I will try to come up with an acceptable reason as to why I don't like something of hers. My personal taste in music influences what I may like or not like of her new releases and I am certain it will not always be what everyone else thinks. For example, BRILLANTE is nice and epic sounding but I don't have it on repeat. That is the beauty of a forum where people can discuss their opinions and I don't foresee me leaving AHS anytime soon.
