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.

First of all, I'm not attacking you. To me, some of the things that you're complaining about are a bit selfish and it's irritating because you're not really giving this band a chance before judging them. At the end of the day, YUI is still YUI. She didn't LOSE her identity, she's going in a different direction than we're use to seeing her do!
Why is that so hard to accept???
BUT! That's just how I see it... Then again, you're entitled to your opinion. Doesn't mean that I agree with it. ^^;
