to be honest i can relate to that because i also have this worried feeling that ayu is jus not as popular as she used to... at her peak her singles can sell a million but now i would be happy if blue bird can sell 300,000... her apperances on tv had also reduced...

That being said, if you don't like her recent work, as long as you justify why you don't like it it's a very valid opinion. In contrast, if you love her new work, there is really no need to try to sway those who don't like it into having an appreciation for it.

i totally agree with no doubt... although we are all fans of ayu, it does not mean that we like her blindly or that we like everything from her... i consider myself to be a big fan of ayu but i have to admit there are some of her songs that i dont really like... however i dont think this makes me less of a fan, in fact i think it makes me more of a fan...

I agree, this is also my view though I'm not really worried. I belive I wrote quite a lot on my view in the Downhill thread, don't remember

well, i guess it is a fan's mindset that you always hope that your idol would be at the top... but i guess that isnt possible in reality, especially in such a fickle music industry...

I know. It makes me feel like it's not okay to dislike a song.

Her songs are coming too often, if she would release a single slower, then maybe they would be better, and people woundlt get tired of it too quick. Now, every time Ayu releases a song I find boring, I'm like "Oh well, she'll release another single in 2 weeks anyway..."

I don't mean to generalise here, but some people seem to be very biased toward Ayu's old music. Definitly not everyone, but a few people say they hate Ayu's new music without justifying why. It seems a lot harder to like a new Ayu song these days that it is to dislike it, not necessarily because her new songs are bad, just a lot of people tend to have negative feelings about them. For instance, if I say I love Bold & Delicious or Pride or Beautiful Fighters, it's because I genuinely like those songs, not because I'm some crazed fan boy. I don't think my opinions should be viewed as inferior to the opinions of those who hate Ayu's recent music. Sorry if you don't agree with this, I just wanted to offer a different perspective.

I think that people are perpetually generating more and more negativity toward Ayu. If you are expecting Ayu's next single to be bad, you are probably going to think it's bad regardless of what the actual quality of the single is. Sometimes I feel like if people were more receptive to change and less pessimistic they would appreciate Ayu's new music a bit more.

I think we should wait an year and we'll do exactly the same thing like say she has a song called Lately or sumthing we'll be like "People don't like it much" or "I don't like it" and then someone will be like "Remember BLUE BIRD and BEAUTIFUL FIGHTERS we didn't like them much at first but now" LOL

I don't think that years later, I'll like the song that I hate now. That's just the way it is.

People tries their best to influence someone else to like what they like because they want to share or chat with their friends about what they like... It is not wrong but it is a waste of time... If that person hates ayu, let him/her be... It's not that you are going to make everyone in this world like ayu or what... There is no way that everyone likes one particular person...

I have said this lots of times and I'll say it again... It IS a waste of time... You looking for someone to chat with about Ayu? Why not use this forum? Or get some friends from this forum, request and add them into your MSN/ICQ/whatever and chat everyday?

Even if you DID make your friend forcibily like it, he won't be a fan like you because he is not really into it while you are... The only thing you should do is just recommend some songs and if they don't want it, then just keep it to yourself...

You met Ayu?

When I meet her in 2004 everybody disliked Greatful Days-but later everybody liked it!

Same w/ Voyage, most of the Rainbow, My Story, Missunderstood album and most of the songs of the singles featured in those albums.

However, i have to admit i can listen to some of the songs now BUT only under certain conditions (eg. only when its in PV form)

after reading through some of the posts, the impression that they give me is not that ayu have gone downhill, but rather they have gotten tired of her songs...

i have to admit that it had been a long time since she debuted, almost 8 years, and i think some people have gotten sick of listening to her songs... that is why there are grumblings of maybe she is going downhill but i think they just simply got tired of her... if that really is the case, i suggest moving away from her temporarily, take a break from her songs...

i noticed that people are disliking alot of new songs but hey this is the funny part eventhough they dont like it, they are still updated or even dling some new songs just to bash something. i dont know if they have problems with their heads.

if you dont like it then dont listen to it. STOP influencing people not to like a particular song or better yet stop visiting the forum who are dedicated to a particular singer you dont like. And also stop commenting if you are not satisfied with ayu's new song AS IF we cared if you dont like it.

Excuse me, chocobo, but what makes you think you're better than the rest of us? This isn't happy, fun, lovely CandyLand. Not everyone loves everything just beause it's Hamasaki. Whether you like to believe it or not, AHS is a forum, and not everyone shares the same naïve opinions.

Like many have said before, and many will continue to say, not everyone will like every Ayu song. Get. Over. It. We can listen to what we want, we can download what we want, we can like or dislike what we want, and for that matter, we can have opinion we want. It's not up to your discretion whether we can state it or not. No one asked you.

None of us are "influencing" anyone to dislike her music; similarly, none of you are "influencing" us to enjoy her music. Why don't you take your own advice and stop reading our comments if you don't like them. Stop commenting on what we write "AS IF" we care that you don't like it.

Some of us keep downloading her music, because that's what we do. No, we don't have "problems with our heads." Somewhere, in the back of our hearts, we hope Hamasaki will release a song that doesn't get our hopes up. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case.
