While I agree to an extent about I am... lacking variety, I think some people tend to forget how excellent the songs were on that album. Almost every song was passion filled, and it sounded like she was singing her heart out. Some of my personal favorites come from I am... (NEVER EVER, UNITE!, Daybreak). She'll more than likely never make songs like those again, and despite all of them having a similar sound, they are extremely good (imo.)
I also don't understand how people talk trash about the RAINBOW album. To me, it was excellent. She tried a lot of new styles out, and I thought they worked out fabulous. To this day, I can't see why when people think about songs like "Dolls" or "Voyage" why they automatically think "yuck, bad". Those songs had amazing arrangements.
As for where I want Ayu to go now, I wish she would put more real instruments into her songs. More acoustic guitar would be awesome. (think hitomi's "there is...". As for MY STORY and (miss) understood, I love MY STORY more. I skip a lot of songs on (miss) understood.
