Maybe she's just run out of stuff to say. To all the people that say her lyrics are bland and recycled, I give her props for still writing her own lyrics. I would love to see an average person write as many songs as she has and not repeat themselves with the same ideas or concepts. Even Shiina Ringo said after KSK, that she really didn't have much more to say. Her lyrics are bound to seem the same sometimes. But I thought some songs on (miss) understood were great. I think she just needs to cut the tie ups for events or movies. I don't mind the Morinaga ones or Panasonic CMs, because they don't have an effect on the type of song she's going to make. It just seems to me like a big tie in comes along, and they ask her to write a song for them, and she does it. Thats what bothers me. I have high expectations for her next single though, I really am excited about it. (Whether it be the rumor one, or one to be announced). I think she's due for a big hit that will hit home for all her fans in Japan, and on AHS. I would love it for
everyone on AHS just to be happy and love her new songs once again. But maybe thats asking too much
I would also love to hear CREA compose again, but I don't think she'll re appear anytime soon...there were a lot of mixed reactions from winding road and Humming 7/4, so maybe she got discouraged again.
