Yeah, 2012 definitely is the worst year Ayu has ever had, musically speaking. I hope her fans cease from buying into this kind of lazy, uninspired work to force her into seriously rethinking and reconsidering the future direction of her musical career. Frankly, this kind of garbage is a one-way ticket to dinner theater and discount bins. She needs a healthy shock to her system to get that creativity flowing again.
I'm always optimistic when it comes to Ayu, but seriously, from Five onwards she has been nothing but a major disappointment. Hikki released one song and one video this year, and both of those blew away all that Ayu had done for the past couple of years. At this point, Ayu should think about collaborating (it worked for Namie) with REAL artists and younger composers and not just random and old people she likes. Superfly, Yasutaka Nakata, Funky Monkey Babys, Naoto Inti Raymi, Jake Shimabukuro, Mr. Children, Kuwata Keisuke, Ikimonogakari. You know, COOL people. If she continues on this track, she'll most likely end up as an irrelevant fossil before her time.
