It's funny, but I'm actually glad the song sounds kind of dated... I don't know, it makes me feel that even if she's following a trend, she doesn't care for doing what's more popular right now just because it's popular (which is what most artists seem to be trying to do and I'm getting tired of it), she's just releasing whatever she want's to release... Yes, it's a trendy style, but it still kind of have that Ayu touch of always being a bit different than what the majority is doing, because she just releases whatever she wants to

With Ayu I have the feeling that we always get something that reflects herself, what she feels like doing, what music style she's into at the moment, what she wants to do not and not what someone else wants her to do, no matter if it's in a good or a bad way... I like how it always feels like herself and not something controlled by the media/company/public opinion

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Like seriously.

She could release a ballad. A rock song. A dance song. A mid tempo song. And she'd always be labeled as sounding old. Looking old. Out dated. Boring. Predictable. A mess. Tired. Screechy. Shouty.

So whatever. *shrug*

You kind of have to roll with the punches at this point.
This is so true. It's so annoying, specially considering that probably in a few years from now people will be complaining about the future new releases saying she should do something like what she's doing now, like if they didn't complain about it as well...
