There are certain marks of professionalism that GOOD music still has, even when it's programmed, like a good mix and deliberate, careful creation of loops and beats, and anything played with a real instrument now stands out as being especially professional sounding.

I think Ayu needs to have some higher standards regarding those aspects of her music - her stuff lately has all sounded, to me, like just really really competent demos, but still like demos.
I agree with u .
There's also an indescribable feeling in her music lately that translates as a rush Unfinished project to me. Even though back in the day her releases were more frequent. It's like... There's something missing, could be low standards, or lack of creativity but whatever it is, it's making new comers keep their distance and old timers bored and almost retire from being an Ayu fan. ( example: colours plus PVs.
