I enjoy the majority of their works from last year, "Grip!" "yura yura" "shiawasenofuukei" "Hiiragi" "BURANKO" are all great songs, far better than ayu's.

OK, this is the abbreviated version of my post...the forums went down as I was replying before....
First of all, I wasn't comparing them to Ayu. I criticize her too...I think Rainbow & Memorial Address were very good j-pop albums, but VERY BAD ayu albums. It's not my fault you can't handle criticism for these two bands. And it's kind of arrogant of you to just assume I haven't listened to them.
I think the first half of 2003 was GREAT for ELT. I loved the Many Pieces album, but nothing since "fundamental love" has impressed me. And I still like their older songs, "Time Goes By" is one of my favorite songs by them.
As for DAI...I didn't like GoH at all. I love a lot of their older songs..."Bokuensha tachi," "We Are," "Summer Days," "Under the Sun," "Remember the Hill," "Faces," "Tooku Made," etc. I think these songs are SIGNIFICANTLY better than their recent music.
The majority of j-pop has gone downhill, not just these groups. All I was trying to point out is that ELT & DAI shouldn't be used to try to make Ayu look worse, because they're putting out sub-par releases, as well.
