Oh man, I LOVE B&D! Haha, the great gospel funk is just amazing! Pride has grown on me. fairyland didn't seem that much of a breakthrough though. Beautiful PV but it's kind of "safe" as a summer song in composition if you ask me.
All I can say is I think she's releasing excellent material. But I think some fans just don't appreciate or like the genre or the composition? It very much depends on their tastes. But I don't like it when people say things like "Oh my, Ayu's going DOWN" or "Ayu's releasing CRAP!" because I think she does produce solid material. They might vary in standards at times but ultimately, I think they're great.
Take for example, HAPPY ENDING and Dolls. I used to think HAPPY ENDING was a filler song UNTIL Arena Tour 2005 and Dolls in the same way until the Limited TA Tour. You see, they can be great songs when applied in the correct situations. That's my take.
Again, I think Ayu's moving leaps and bounds in her career. I won't say she's going downhill or uphill, but I would say she's already WAY UP THERE and there's no sign of her coming down any time!
