The Moral of "CAROLS" Single - Real Instruments

[Exile]

The majority of Ayu's songs tends to have only keyboards and guitars performed by people, whereas other instruments are computer-programmed and can be annoying (to me).

I've just received my copy of "CAROLS" and am pleased because the booklet (see attachment) credits the musicians, suggesting the employments of real instruments, especially the drums and bass.

I have always been hoping for Ayu's music to incoporate real instruments, not just because the arrangements are inherent to using them, but they also sound a whole lot better.

To me it is one of the good changes (such as making copy control cd optional) undergoing at Avex, as Max Matsuura is gaining greater authority in the compony.

I personally prefer arrangements that are more real-instrument-oriented, although I am not sure how many of you actually care.
