^ So true. I remember when I first saw Secret and I thought, "Jesus F'n Christ! This woman makes exactly the type of music I've always wanted to hear." And now, I feel like most of her songs are fillers, or the same: Verse - Chorus A - Verse - Chorus B - Instrumental/Quick 2-line Bridge - Chorus A & B.
I missed before the intros for songs and she brought a lot of that back with Love songs, which makes that album so special to me, but overall, she isn't really writing anymore. There are no Free&Easy's or RAINBOW's these days. We get the occasional song that makes us happy, e.g. BALLAD or Last angel or Virgin Road, but she really hasn't been making a noticeable effort like she used to. I don't care if she copies herself, I just want the Ayu who makes good music again.
Also, I'm glad that the PVs for PQ were not as boring as prior PVs from Ls. But I really think Ayu needs to do more than cry, bend over, walk or stand around, and sing to the camera. I don't care about dance moves, but stories made her older PVs amazing.
I hope she just does who she is, not this trying-to-have-a-hit-again stuff. People really signed off from this awhile back. The last actual Ayumi album was GUILTY. Everything since has been noticeably half-hearted.
