I feel like I must be the only fan who really likes Ai no Uta. Do I wish Kuu would switch it up for live performances? Sure, but I think that's how things are mostly done in Japan, right? Ayu always does SEASONS or Boys & Girls or evolution.

I don't think it's Kuu being "weak-minded", I think it's the industry standard to sing your staple song as a seasoned artist. Describing her as "weak-minded" is not only a bit harsh, but also seems incorrect to me, because Kumi's music for the last 6-ish years has been a complete departure from what she's done in the past. She's made bold career moves, especially in terms of the sound she's going for. Nothing weak-minded about it, and I'm saying that as a fan who has found it hard to relate to the newer stuff. (We're all entitled to our opinions though.)
