should Ayu bring back CREA?

~AyUsIcK~ · #1 13th January 2007, 07:34 PM

don u guys think that ayu should REALLY bring back CREA? personally, the BEST songs from ayu are from CREA!! i mean, look at heartplace, forgiveness, M, free &easy, HANABI, voyage, rainbow etc... ALL OF THOSE ARE REALLY BEAUTIFUL SONGS!! i don mean the HEAVEN, JEWEL or CAROLS that are not from CREA r not beautiful, but they are easily forgotten...
n if u already noticed, songs from CREA are all very unique...

so what could be the reasons of her stopping producing music herself? too busy? no inspiration? satisfied with other music?

anyway, i left pop songs out of the discussions as they pop is just POP... nothing unique about them... so...

ayu started composing because none of the tracks handed to her had fit her vision. She thought at that time that she could make a tune on her own from time to time. But she was pushed to compose songs on her own during "I am..." era. I think it was in the TIME interview that ayu mentioned that she was (almost) crying while making the tunes for "NEVER EVER" and "Endless sorrow".

Now ayu's got the situation she probably wanted during the "I am..." era. She can compose songs whenever she feels the inspiration or the need to do so. I'd also like to hear more songs by CREA, because they're usually unique in melody, structure etc., but I'm also glad that she can decide on her own when to compose songs - without pressure of the people surrounding her.

WHAT?!? she wad forced to compose songs herself?! WTH!

ComatoseBunnySnatcher · #4 13th January 2007, 08:14 PM

Max told her to compose all by herself the next album (I am...).
I guess because she's so loyal to him she did it.

back to topic, I think CREA should come back since I do love her compositions
(NEVER EVER and Humming 7/4).

Songs from Crea are meaningful and beautiful. Perhaps Ayu can bring back some old songs and create songs kinda similar to those. Not exactly the same but kinda the same genre.

I think she has more freedom in expression by doing most of the stuff herself. She can convey the messages, mood, feel in a song accurately, the way she wants the audience (us!) to feel. I feel itz good though more work for Ayu and she may take more time to come out with new songs (coz workload is shared).

I do like CREA, I think the melodies Ayu composes are great. Very her. However! I do think her other producers deserve to shine, and she should only compose if and when she ever feels like doing so. The non-CREA producers tend to do a great job with their own compositions (and say what you will about GEO, but I loved how his compositions were beefed up for Ayu. They gave (miss)understood a unique, distinctive touch and helped make it a great album).

CREA is oh so overrated. There are several non-CREA songs that are pretty much, if not more, excellent: i.e SURREAL.

I agree on the bold part. Not everything CREA composes will instantly become a favourite of mine (and everyone else). Example: "Humming 7/4". It's a CREA composition, but it isn't really popular among many fans (I love it!).
The people who compose for her do a good job and she has a very good taste in choosing melodies, but it would be great to see ayu (co-)compose/-arrange few songs here and there.

Ayu_Jayson · #9 13th January 2007, 09:21 PM

Oh yeah surreal! Haha, forgot abt that! I'm sure there're more but her current ones seem great to me too! Esp Blue Bird & Jewel =)

ComatoseBunnySnatcher · #10 13th January 2007, 09:28 PM

Yeah.
And then... is really pretty.Most of Memorial Address and Secret is good.
P.S. In my Secret booklet on BLUE BIRD it says no CREA

immel · #11 13th January 2007, 10:13 PM

I don't care. The professionals she's using is doing a great job, but seeing a few CREA tracks would make her album a little sexier, knowing there's a little extra of her own touch to it.

immel · #12 13th January 2007, 10:54 PM

She only arranged/co-arranged one song ever, right?

I'd love to see her trying arranging some more stuff. If she'd have a professional by her side not too much could go wrong.

Mirai Noah · #13 14th January 2007, 05:45 PM

I love CREA, but I don't want to force Ayu to compose. Plus, as others have said, I love a lot of non-CREA songs. So it's up to Ayu.

extepan · #14 4th February 2007, 04:13 AM

of course! no doubt about that!

dayumi · #15 7th February 2007, 03:18 PM

I love CREA!

Of course, I really like CREA. Ayu's style is very cool and always very well thought out.

However, I don't want the poor girl to exhaust herself like she did during the I am... era. I mean, we might get something good, but then again, if we push her, it might dissapoint people.

There's always a chance of her coming back, but I'll let her decide when she wants to.

Raleigh · #18 7th February 2007, 06:31 PM

I think we don't hear much of CREA because as she mentioned in her interview she found a staff which she trusts and works extremely well with.

YuriChan · #19 7th February 2007, 06:40 PM

I don't mind hearing CREA again! (It's been a while since Ayu's composed anyway!) So that's a first that I wanna hear is a CREA song!

alt.total-loser · #20 8th February 2007, 03:12 AM

CREA's okay. I don't care if she comes back, though.
