The problem seems to be that some people think this forum should be only for diehards. I used to adore her, and while she is no longer one of my favorite artists, I like to still come and see what's new. Ayu cannot be forever our favorite, but that doesn't mean we're here only to attack her. If we talk bad about her releases, it needs to be understood that many of those people tend to look fond to her earlier releases, and out of love for those, they keep coming back. Being 'shamed' for not talking high of her seems a bit crazy. Yes, it must be said respectfully, but the fact remains that many of her old diehards, like the feel of this forum and that's why they stick around even if their love for Ayu is not at the same level when they were obsessed.

Now, I don't really like 23rd Monster, and I think her voice is very different. But even then, those are not the reasons I don't like it, it is because the song sounds like a rehash of older songs.
