I do agree with this. I absolutely cannot sit through most J-POP made after, say, 2006.

I believe Ayu is a pro at picking the melodies she wants to work with. Honestly, and considering the current state of J-POP, my hunch is that most of the current demos she receives from both veteran and newbie composers are probably garbage and this is why she tends to resurrect old Yukumi/DAI/Hoshino compositions from 2004...
