The post-Mannie Ayu hasn't been wowing me much lately and I find it difficult to maintain interest in her when it's her 15th anniversary and there's so little to look forward to musically.
I think her work/life balance skew has been affecting my ability to wholeheartedly support and enjoy her like I did before, but I hope that an excellent musical release and some great PVs will be all it will take to swing right back into crazy fandom mode
This year I joined Team Ayu which made me feel really proud and happy despite being a bit less interested in her as a whole. Lately I've been listening to her MS>Secret eras and feeling really close to those times.
