For me, it began with Progress ... then all that went after, the lame image, the "I'm not even trying/don't care" attitude, the lazyness, the leeches around her... Before, she gave me the image of someone strong, who cared, and was giving her best, now I just feel lazyness from her! People always blame the staff for this but you really think she is a victim in all of this?!

-Releasing maxi single as mini album, then pack everything and call it an album.
-Classical album, hey let's ask someone to draw the cover of one the mini album, relation between the two? Who knows...
-Tour logo? Lets' steal someone else's work then say it was "inspired" by a fan when people got the fraud... though this, she could perfectly ignore it, even now, but it shows the little respect of her staff to her....

-Her last, using a picture from a magazine shoot as live cover .... she didn't even try and shoot something just for this cover (if she didn't wish for live picture), no... hey guys let's just slap on of the pic and that's it *leaves to paint my nails*


I won't swallow the fact she is a victim in all of this! Ayumi, with her status, is a victim of an evil staff? ...


But the main thing that drive me crazy is her voice (and the garbages she released lately). There was already something in LS, but it was still ok, PQ, some were listenable but something was off and now I don't even want to think about, I can't listen the majority of LA just because of her vocals on it.

I do not understand why she want to sing with her high pitch, screechy, ear bleeding vocals, when obviously, she can't anymore, and have to push/force her voice and then destroy it, force it more, destroy it more. That era is over, period! Her coach isn't able to tell her?!
But since how her voice is now I think she should just fire her coach... but yeah she loves to build her little family and be all so nice with them even when they stab her in the back ... hope she learnt her lesson with Kee... speaking of him, what a waste to have worked with him, most of his work with her was awful!

I don't care if she tries something new as I don't care if she doesn't, I just want she works, care, does her very best and stop to be so childish at 35 years old, the corny love story lyrics, PV/peach color pics and everything make me sick! We all know what she is capable of and ...seeing/hearing this?

I also wonder why there is no poster anymore? No lottery anymore? That's funny how the end of that kinda coincide with the lost of interest from people.... I highly doubt they don't follow her, buy because of this but it helps to create a hype in a way.
By the way, why to stop? Money? Just cut off the budget for bad/useless PVs and it will do the trick!


Now, I've never cared about Jpop, and still don't care. Ayumi was the "little something" in my music library, but if she keeps her path of bad, lazy and botched work, I will just stop to care about her.
Of course she has a life and don't have to dedicate it, only to music but before to release something she should ask herself : is this really the best I can do?

Honestly, if she reply yes to this about her last works...
It's nice to read someone being so blunt and not sugar coating things. I can feel your frustration, and it goes to show that stupid comments like "if you don't like her then don't post / don't come here / don't listen to her / move on." Obviously frustration like this is an example of passion if anything. We care, but there is so much junk in the world of music today - it's sad to think of Ayu joining the ranks of that shit when we know she is capable of SO MUCH MORE.

Then there's always the argument that "she's trying to have more fun with her career now at this point." What that translates to is she is taking things less seriously which translates to she doesn't care as much to make a polished and complete effort. It seems like more of a hobby for her now. Wonder if someone who wasn't a star went into their normal jobs and said "I'm going to take this job less seriously from now on" how their bosses and people would react...
