Does (miss) understood deserve the same diagnosis?

Well, now that (miss) understood is out, and Ayu is making her new songs, with her new style, you all know what her new songs are like. Are we again at this point? Where people will now stop being fans of hers, or become them?

Is this "going downhill" as some agree, and some don't, or let's just call this phase, "Ayu's new era," a new turning point in her career? Is this a phase? Or is there anything even wrong at all? Will some of us leave, as PickleCookies already pointed out, there's no one from before 2003 here, which sadly enough is true...

Opinion, like beauty, is in the Eye of the Beholder. How many of us will still be here in 3 years? How many of us will still be fans of Ayu's in 3 years. Speculation is nothing, it gets us nowhere. Action is everything. What will you do? Leave or Stay or...perhaps you'll just be a watching spectator?

good point

I think it is just a phase

and soon as she starts coming out with something that people like this topic will be nonexistent until she messes up again

kinda like an ongoing cycle

Completely random. It's a parody, but that doesn't really hinder the PV from being extremely bad

indeed.

you know...people need to lower their body before leaping...

so: before1998- trying to stand up
1998 -- from lying to standing
1999 -- gradually stood up
2000 -- stood up
2001 -- jumped
2002 -- jumped farther
2003 -- landing
2004 -- gradually lower after landing
2005 -- keep stablility and then lower her body
2006 -- lower more -- but...making sure her front road
2007 -- lower to her extreme...suddenly leap up!
2008 -- height rising amazingly...rising to a new level!

What happens when she trips and ends up in the hospital?

(But in all seriousness, I really do get what you're saying!)

I agree with what you said but on one point you and PickleCookies are wrong. Some of us here have been fans since before 2003. I've been an Ayu fan since fall of 1999 and others have here have been fan longer or just as long

Well, I don't think she'll trip.. since she's jumping.. right? XD

Soon she'll be flying and floating up.. and it'll be like 'woah'

darkswordz · #**168** 29th June 2006, 05:18 AM

then followed by a nasty fall, which i hope will never happen

truehappiness · #**169** 29th June 2006, 05:41 AM

...I said floating. XD

She'd be suspended on strings from the heavens <3 She'd never fall.

/sticks springs on her boots

YES! BE POSITIVE & OPTIMISTIC!

emi♡ · #**171** 29th June 2006, 05:58 AM

truehappiness: I read that as "sticks springs in her boobs...and guess who i thought of...lolz

Ayumi626: I realize that there are fans here who have been fans since before that, I only agreed that there are few people on this forum from before 2003, and that is truth.

What they were saying is that the people who joined AHS before 2003 aren't around anymore. There really are only a few fans here from before that time, and that's the point they're making, and they're right about that.

truehappiness · #**174** 30th June 2006, 10:55 AM

Perhaps its because as time went on.. AHS changed? :/

Oh well.. :/

emi♡ · #**175** 30th June 2006, 11:04 AM

^^that could be it too. it happens.

I don't go around the adultswim boards anymore. They used to be really fun, like around 2003-2004, in Incoherent Babbling...then all the old people left, and it just wasn't fun anymore. It was like, thousands of people joined...and they were all noobs...lol. It just got boring...

HanabiChick · #**176** 30th June 2006, 11:34 AM

Looking at the "Year you became a fan of Ayu?" thread - it would seem like there are more fans from 2003 to now, than there are fans from before that. Perhaps someone should start a poll to get a more accurate idea, though, just to see.

AyUmIXx · #**177** 30th June 2006, 08:25 PM

yeah..let's take a poll..
i've become ayu's fan since 2003..because of her evolution song..
huahua

i think we're going off topic...

so..ayu's not going downhill..but she's learning a new era and producing new stuff to suit for the new era.. people may not like them..people may like them..people may love them even more...

"... and there's Ayumi Hamasaki, yes, that's her, the beloved Hamasaki-san, she's about to land now, any second, she's landing, her feet are touching the ground, and yes! She touched the ground, now lowers her body, gently, like a spring, and there she goes! She leaps up! There she's going, through the air, with head streight and chin up, what a grace!..."

*sound of legs tangleing up to a camera wire*

!THUD!

"... She falls."

LOL ur so mean....

Nevada · #**180** 1st July 2006, 05:08 PM

Can't we just make the negative ayu stuff be concentrated in this thread then?

Maybe that will keep it off the rest of the forum.
