I think solo artists are much more interesting. Somehow bands are a litlle boring, don't know how to explain it

This. And also, when an artist's career up until now actually means something to you, you would naturally be surprised either positively or negatively by something like this. To me, my own dissatisfaction with her doing this is because I love everything she released so far and her solo discography is great. Yet it will not continue anymore. Knowing that she is going to be in a band implies lots of changes. Someone said they are disappointed that people can't accept new directions from their artists, but I'm disappointed in how people can't understand fan's love for how their artists were. She is practically not YUI anymore. She is flower flower, and her name is Yoshioka Yui from "flower flower" band.
I don't know why it seems that people are almost attacking me for saying that I'm not pleased with this. I get it - the band was her idea and she wants to do something new. I can't pretend that I like this when I don't. But it's okay, there is never a guarantee that any of my favorite artists are going to continue making music (either as solo artists or anything at all).
Btw. I didn't like it when Otsuka formed Rabbit, either. But I wasn't such a big fan of her anyway, so I was okay with it. But this... is quite hard to swallow.
