Disappointing 10th anniversary.

[PrincessAyu]

Wow, I never thought you of all people would make this thread because usually bad opinions about Ayu get slapped upon by you since you adore ayu the most in the forum I think :p

However, "Does anyone else feel that Ayu just isn't delivering right now in the "WOW" department?"

Ayu hasn't been delivering in the "WOW department" since 2006 if you ask me. I am totally uninterested in Ayu these days. I'm following artists that are very creative and inspiring to me right now, such as Namie Amuro, BoA, Koda Kumi and a few older artists I only discovered just now (such as Yuki Kimura).

Ayu, I'm sure she's doing her best, but for a 10th anniversary what she's doing is indeed mwaaah (mediocre) and I can't say I like anythign about Ayu recently. If I'm listening to Ayu at all these days it's old songs I love or ayu trance.

I just think Ayu's super great "WOW" days are over. Sad to say, but that's what I think.

about the 2008 concert reading the set list and watching the pictures sounds like another "so so" concert

the high point of ayu was the arena 2005 and 2006 tours..after that she is recycling her great past ideas.

Idk, what defines a WOW factor? ;p In 2007 she didn't even release a new album, and imo the GUILTY factor was too rockish. XD But for someone who loves rock maybe this era was the wow factor for them? Idk I dont really need a wow factor. Its good music and thats all that counts for me ^^

Also I thought that AT08 was the best tour ever. :x And not saying that because it's new. FINALLY no AUDIENCE or UNITE or Boys & Girls in the main set list!! =D And the set list is just amazing..<33 I just wish she'd come up with something new for the "sexy dance" session >_> aka. my name's WOMEN/GAME aka. 1 LOVE/until that Day... aka. (don't)Leave me alone/decision. It's so easy to come up with new stuff. =o I mean, she could stand on a pillar that rises from the ground at the catwalk area? Or maybe being lift in the air with a huge cape that kind of covers the back of the stage and images are projected on it? Idk she needs to get a new creative designer

I agree. For me since I love rock 2006 and 2007 has been good years for me and secret and GUILTY were among my top favorite albums.

A COLLECTION is a kind of weird release, one year after A BEST 2, but tbh she has singles that were never included in her BEST albums and etc. It would be nice to see the never-released-before covers and then lament on how they're much nicer than the actual cover...

I (kinda) agree.
