I agree that her music has become stale =/ Since I am... I can only find a handful of songs by Ayu that I consider "gems." While I like MY STORY as a whole, it pales to, say, LOVEppears. Her songs have been less original sounding ever since the release of H. While I consider MY STORY as a comeback from RAINBOW, it really isn't much of a big one. And I'm really not expecting anymore for Ayu to bring forth material that sounds like songs from LOVEppears-Duty. She rarely if ever repeats styles from the past. As for having a new producer, I really can't say if she needs one or not since I don't know the extent of Max's influence on how her music sounds. She's also had new composers for MY STORY, so I don't really think having a new composer will make a difference anymore. If anything, I want to get rid of H/\L as an arranger, because I haven't been impressed with their arrangements in a long time. We had the return of CREA, and while I like Humming 7/4 alot, the chorus is still "blah" and Winding Road doesn't impress me. We had the return of Kazuhito (sp) Kikuchi, but the songs he did still disappointed fans and they did pale in comparison to other songs he's composed. I don't really know how Ayu will make her music less "stale" sounding, but maybe 2005 she'll try something new we'll all like.
