I cant really think of what she can do now to boost her sales up for Secret...except perform other songs besides JEWEL!! It would be nice if she can do that for the remaining year end events.
I think what ayu have done in Secret is a improvement. Look at the album tracks and pvs and compare them to the single ones. If she wants to continue to sell around 2006 amounts or hopefully more in 2007, she really needs to bring out very good singles and doesnt give ppl commercial or generic feeling. She shouldnt purposely (thats how I felt) create music for the tie-ins..(ex. born to be) She should also keep doing good pvs not like b&d, pride, 2006 single pvs...coz those dont really make her stand out from other ppl...and ppl lost interest in her because she is no longer unique (style, music) like she used to...
Speaking of style, ayu is no longer how she was...remember the fox tail, crazy nails, camo prints, and her other changing styles? She is now the high class elegant lady who always wear those stylish expensive clothing that alot of ppl cant affort. She is not cool anymore for the younger generations. so since her fashion style and music changed, not as many ppl follow her anymore like it used to. I think that is one of the several reasons why her sales are declining. Plus you do know that she is getting older...I still think she looks very young and stuff but ppl get tired of her after seeing her everywhere for many years. I think it wont be long till ppl get tired of seeing koda later. I really think its a accomplishment for ayu to have been popular for all these years already...approx 8.5 years now? ppl cant expect her to sell like she used to at her peak and it is not fair to compare her to other ppl who is currently at their peak...look at hikki and namie...who used to sell big...and look at them now...yes they are not selling as much as they used to but ppl havent forgotten about them and they are still very popular and loved. so I think ppl should stop saying whoever is gonna replace or take over whoevers spot because nobody can replace anyone, and nobody can stay at the top forever.
Hopefully in 2007 she will do the following:
-release a new single like around march-april with really good songs 1 A-side or double, something refreshing and different from being commercial, and come with great pvs please! It would be nice if she includes a pv from Secret...just like my names women
-start composing again under the name CREA
- Stop releasing summerish songs in the summer....fairyland and BLUE BIRD is enough! a summer ballad would be nice. ex. hanabi, seasons, etc or somekind of cool upbeat dance song...I want to see the cool ayu again...Im tired of her wearing pretty dresses all the time in music shows...ah the old days..
-Release a very emotional ballad with sad lyrics and different arrangements. I think 1 A-side is enough. JEWEL and secret is good but it gets a bit boring...something with a bridge atleast.
-make the asia tour awesome!
-dont release a album next year...maybe early 2008?
-have some kind of major tie-ins for a song...she lacks those...and if she get the right tie-ins, it would boost her sales up for that song just like other ppl...
thats all I can think of now...
