Is There Anything You DON'T Like About Ayumi?

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

^ i think it'll be too western for Japan. I'd love it though!

Some STEP you style songs would'nt hurt, either.

You crazy. BLUE BIRD is the best song in her entire discography! LOOOOVe that song to death. I really hope she releases something as awesome, and lasting after so many replays, as BLUE BIRD.

Another definitely. XD
I will agree that glitter didn't sound special. fairyland and BLUE BIRD sound awesome though despite the fact that they are "recycled" another summer songs.
I didn't like her bobby hair in 2001 too.
I don't like ayu's Two of us, that song is so boring though the lyrics are good.
That's all I think =P

Yes, plenty of singers and performers create the effect by moving their mouths, but hers is slow and forced rather than like the final vibration of a bell. I just can't stand it.

LOL yeah i know what u mean. Her vibrato can be rather awesome or plain awful.
And as u said, the main problem is that she overuses it. But well, i'm used to it, and after u listen to it several times, u come to like it lol

I don't think I'll get tired of BLUE BIRD, it's her best summer song.

But that just shows her summer songs please different people, so even if she'll do another summer song this year, it'll end up pleasing another part of her fan group. And people can continue to complain over them...

[truehappiness]

I can't get enough of a lot of Ayu songs... not too surprisingly though, quite a few of them are the upbeat crazy ones that everyone says sound alike. D:~~

BLUE BIRD is really good. And so is the Harderground remix. Plus, it was one of my first ayu songs, so it's special lol

It's totally underrated because of fairyland. If fairyland didn't exist, people would've loved it. Same goes to glitter.

I really don't get it. It's true that they're all summer singles, but they don't sound similar at all. Specially glitter

@truehappiness: glad to see someone else loves ANGEL'S SONG apart from me lol

LMAO so true.

50% will love it and 50% will complain with the excuse of "recycling".
It's already so obvious.

[Kazeyomi]

Oh! I forget this.

I dislike the fact she don't make collaborations after 'a song is born'. I think its cute to see hamasaki ayumi feat. artistnamehere
Well, sometimes I dream a thing like mflo loves hamasaki ayumi LOL. But they are different genres (uhm, but they collaborate with BONNIE PINK and she isn't an hiphop artist..) and they stop these 'loves' songs.
Ayu it's selfish XDDD

What I don't like about Ayu is some of her album and single covers.
GUILTY's cover was kinda ugly IMO and so was (miss)understood and MY STORY's covers.
The photographer probably says, "We're done! Time to edit!" right after the first frame.
I wanna see another cover like RAINBOW's or I am...'s.

[cosmeticmusic]

I didn't think (M)U's cover didn't look that bad...

They just needed to remove the heart and maybe add some sprucing up effect (black and white, high contrast, etc.)

Despite a lot of Western fans loving his stuff, Nakata is not exactly synonymous with dance in Japan. If she did a dance track I don't think too many people inside Japan would ever compare it with Nakata's work.

For the record, GUILTY was her best album cover since... Rainbow.

[naxxo.licious™]

If she were to do dance i think it could be like LOVEppears. Ladies Night is kinda electro-pop and doesn't sound like a Nakata song at all.

About the GUILTY covers, as i said, they're not ugly, the just don't fit the album

Agreed. BLUE BIRD is awesome.

The only thing I don't like about Ayu is the super-long nails, and her vibrato during lives sounds weird sometimes.

Ayu's only had super long nails on very few occasions [see GUILTY, I am... kinda, Duty, haute couture shoots.. etc]~ The long nail culprit is Koda Kumi, who regularly dons 3-4 inch long nails like, all the time. @_@

Just look at the gorgeous nails she's got! OMG.

[milky_way]

^ I don't like hers either. I like the regular French manicure type. I meant to say that I don't like the designs of the nails. Weird colors and things hanging off of them are just bleh.

[Kobayashiwoof]

Her music just sounds recycled from Secret. I dont like her pop-rock sound all that much

^Me either. Can she put down the fake metal guitars for the next single? Although I gotta admit, Mirrorcle World was so refreshing, despite being in that genre as well. I wish she'd use more strings and classical elements.

Hm... yeah. I can see how some people wouldn't like it. It's a Japanese thing, I guess. Entire magazines are dedicated to nail decorations!

I wanna see her do some jaaaaaa~zz! Or something sexy like that xD It would be good for her girl power song collection. I'm never gonna get my wish am I?
