Take this post with a grain of salt. I love ayu, I realized that what I said below sounds pretty harsh. I'm just kind of speaking what I feel. No one hold it against me.

Maybe we're not the only ones tired of hearing generic ballads? Maybe everyone in Japan heard the previews of A ONE and just sighed exhaustedly like "ugh..enough already... I'm sick of hearing these types of songs". I mean, Generic or not, Namie doesn't have a typical type of sound. You can't say that she has a hundred songs that sound like Wild, or Alive, or B Who I want 2 B, or Contrail. When Ayu released that Zutto single I said to myself, doesn't she already have a hundred of these types of songs?

I mean I said it before, I'll say it again. Ayu tries out something, everyone ends up loving it, but then she does it a hundred times. That's when we're all like. Alright...move on ayu...come on...please...enough already... Tissue dancing at her tours, Clowns, Surreal~evolution~surreal, grand winter ballads, upbeat summer pop songs, lyrics that deal with Love or heartbreak, or being stronger and learning from heartbreak. idk... 5 different orchestra versions of the same songs, las vegas/clowns/circus/dice/gambling/lottery/slot machines/magic concert tour themes.

I didn't mind A ONE, but I got over it extremely fast. I think Party Queen is her worst album ever, but I listened to the songs on that album far longer than on A ONE.
