I grant you, there was a lot of that on LOVE again. But you can't deny that MY WAY, at least, even if it's a collaboration, is a totally new direction for her. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on that track in particular.

What on earth is this reasoning? You're losing interest in an artist you once loved because she's no longer in her twenties? You have to be kidding me.

One thing's for sure to me - I'm not "Feel(ing) the love" with Ayu pretty much anymore. It's time for me to move on. When I first got interested in Ayu, I was 13, and she was 28; now, I'm 20 (almost 21), and she's 35; there are better options than this.

kthxbye, don't let the door hit you on your way out.
I will honestly say that I, too, have gone through some periods over the past few years where my 'faith' in Ayu (if you can call it that) wavered a little bit. Party Queen was probably the beginning of that...I understand some people's reasoning as to why it was really a genius album (Deli's post on it comes to mind) but it fell totally flat for me with the exception of, like, Reminds me. I threw myself into her previous material and tried to wait it out, but she didn't exactly deliver with her releases after that either. I just kept reminding myself of what her music has meant to me, and how I didn't want to feel distanced from that. I never want Ayu to be just a 'phase' of my life.
I'm far from being the first person to say this, but when an artist has gone through as many 'evolutionary stages', so to speak, as Ayu has, there are bound to be some releases that don't just click with you. It's unfortunate that you've fallen out of love with her, so to speak. Personally, I loved FtL/MgR/Pray/MY WAY, and I'm excited that she finally seems to be experimenting more. I hope there are at least a few tracks on the new album that you can get excited about, since there's a lot to look forward to!
