I guess it is because the new ayu is a mature ayu, but im afraid she is starting to be like Madonna (epic songs in the past and generic stuff in the present just to raise money)
I pretty much agree with this, especially the bolded part. But I also agree with the person I quoted below:

Yeah, I think her music isn't as good as it used to be, but on the other hand... She has done everything already, just like Madonna.

But I can't help but miss Ayu's old music... I don't think her newer releases are outright bad, but they just don't fill my expectations, especially when I compare them to her old music.

And I miss the days when she didn't look so plastic and her pictures weren't so photoshopped.

I miss her voice too.. I personally think she sounded the best around the MY STORY era.

I know she can't be the same Ayu forever, she has to move on. It's ok and understandable, but I still can't help but miss the old Ayu. At least I can still listen to her old albums whenever I want to.

I guess I'm just stuck in the past. sigh.
