^The only times she massively sang older songs was when she was promoting best ofs and the annis, wasn't it? Other than that it's either a new song or a new song + classic, what seens pretty fair to me.
I will get annoyed once she goes Ayaka Hirahara (who I love) all the way and starts singing the same song everytime she shows up.

Ayu is going to be on Music Fair! Ayu is going to be on SmaSma! She has a comment on CDTV! OMG there's going to be an event in Tower Records! We have to go to the concert! She's releasing a new best album?! GREAT!!
Now there is absolutely nothing, and I just feel like what the actual eff? Did she release an album or did I just dream it? And everything she did before used to look so professional, so flawless, and sound great (Besides ASFXX, but I still listen to this album) that everything she's been doing recently just looks like she didn't have time to perfect it. Even the TV lives, Kohaku, everything - everything feels so unprepared and she just was like "Okay well I'm just gonna do it, see what happens!" and it looks like the music and everything is controlling her, and not the other way around. She used to be the center of everything and that she was above and knew exactly what to do, but now, I don't get that feeling. But I don't know how to shake this feeling.
I guess I'm just overreacting because it's not what I'm used to, and I want to feel the same way about her and her releases as I did when I was younger. I remember when I couldn't wait to buy her single or album, and now I just don't even care... it sucks.  You guys, please help. Ahaha.
I feel like I should send her a msg on Twitter. |
I don't think anyone has any problem with you stating your dislike for the album (I know I don't
). I think it's just natural your relationship with your idol changes over time... She also had a huge image change after her 10th anni and I feel like she's going through another one now... Even if I'm a fan since 2005 or so, I never related as hard to her as I did from AT10 to AT12, and even if I'm a fan, and if I liked Colours, I feel she may be going on a direction I won't relate as much as I did at that time. I mean, I think it's natural for you that was so used with what she did once to feel like that once she changed directions, even more if you can't really relate with the direction she picked.
