Thank you! I know we don't always get along, but you totally get my perspective on Namie right now. I just think if you're going to copy anyone, copy yourself... well, hopefully not as often as Ayu does it, but still, I have a ton of respect for Ayu recreating her own sound twice rather than capitalizing off another artist.
Either way, still stupidly excited for this new mini album. I listen to A ONE almost every day, and I genuinely hope she keeps this level of confidence in her writing for awhile. I loved the experimental days of Ayu for various reasons, but no one else sounds like Ayu, so I'd much rather her do her. Though I do love XOXO and NaNaNa, and when she does fun things that are a bit different.
Ayu's got some tricks left to show us, and I'm real excited. Not too into Step by step, but I wasn't that much into Zutto... either then A ONE came around.
