Negativity doesn't affect me, it's more like my entertainment these days. It's amusing how much people can hate on Ayu's stuff. I used to be negative as well during 2008-2009, but then You were.../BALLAD happened and I decided I can't hate her stuff or her because after all, she was too important to me. I may not like everything she does, but I try to find good things in everything. She can do whatever she wants, she doesn't need to please people. These days I'm always interested in her new releases, even when I don't always come here to comment on things - especially since I like to talk about Koda Kumi more in her threads since she's my personal favorite, but Ayu is one of my favs, too.
