Why a low budget is bad? Why a fast execution is bad? What makes something good or bad is the idea behind it. (And by "idea" i mean also how to execute that idea and everything else about the creative process)

Also the comparision with Hikari's PV is a lol
They did Summer diary's PV filming iirc in like a single day, lol. Like 20 hours from morning to night?

I don't think she's taken 2 days for a shoot since probably FIVE.

Honestly, I'm glad Ayu still has a lot of her older fans but at the same time, I feel that many of them are sort of stuck and refuse to acknowledge Ayu as she is now, instead holding onto what they felt was her at her best even if it was more than a dozen years ago. My biggest frustration is that every release no matter what she does, it's the same people saying the same things every goddamn time. Like nothing will satisfy because in their heads they have this ideal Ayu that doesn't exist anymore because Ayu is ever changing.

I appreciate the effort, but it takes something away for me.
I believe it's the opposite. She used to pretty much do things to please fans or try to one up herself but nowadays she's being more honest with her works, mainly since say, 2015.
