Gackt a hack and Ayu a musician? If Ayu was on Gackts level, no one would need to plead for the return of CREA because CREA would compose all her music. She lets her music be dumbed down by the Avex way of doing things. Her music now is getting a bunch of demos, picking 5-18 out depending on if its a single or album and then trying to make some lyrics conform to demos that have been around for who knows how long. Gackt writes his own music and lyrics exactly how he chooses as each recording session comes around and doesn't need to add or remove things from lyrics to make it look like the song is written about some love in his life created for publicity. I would place Ayumi's voice at #1 & Gackt's in the top 10 all time I want to hear over and over again on CDs, but for Gackt I would place him top 5 in talent among all celebrities, while Ayumi presently I wouldn't place in the top 100. Her voice is great, her lyrics conform to whatever the current image is Avex wants her to portray and her music writing has disappeared & publicly she's made herself look like a joke/***** for publicity the last 3-4 years instead of the very endearing sweet image she once had.
