I'm not happy with her current music choices. I think they're bad and I feel cheated by someone I really enjoyed listening to. Her quality in music has taken a sudden halt and is on its way downhill.

I feel that Bold & Delicious is her worst song, as well as PRIDE's vocals are painful to sit through (even on a 30sec preview). This single has a feel of emptiness. Nothing grasps my attention with it like previous singles.

I think that she's taking a step in the wrong direction. There is a slight hip-hop sound to the first song. Something that Ayumi Hamasaki's sqeaky pop voice can't deliver. I feel that sometimes artists should find the genre that works for them and stick with it. People can look at you going all over into many different genres as "not knowing what their doing" or "confused as to what type of music suits them".

I feel like Ayumi Hamasaki has actually become a little careless with her career as of lately. She's become generic. She wants to be shown as a singer/songwriter yet she continues to do things with not much depth.

Her age is starting to show but it's almost as if she's going back in time with her musical selection and singing something someone really young would sing. She's not 19 anymore. I figured she would start releasing things that show growth not emptiness.
