Yet this forum continues to promote such a biased opinion that chases out those who differ.

At any rate. She still makes the majority of you happy and that's great. Unfortunately, for me, she continues to go flat. I'll always be a fan of her for what she did give and that shouldn't discredit my fandom for her simply because stans can't handled a difference of opinion.

Definitely a true statement. For me I see where you are coming from, but thankfully, over time, I always come to appreciate each era of music as it passes. Well, I guess the NEXT LEVEL > R'n'R era wasn't my favorite as I grew tired of most of the stuff before it even fully grew on me - but sometimes I really fall in love with stuff I wasn't "in love" with over time. GUILTY definitely (grew to love fated, Together When..., untitled which at first I felt was lackluster). Same with the Love songs era. Hated MOON for so long (lackluster), crossroad and the entire L single I thought was very bland at first, but soon I came to love them - the album as well.

Sure, I always miss the days when Ayu's music was so fierce and epic from first listen onwards, but I have learned to go into everything with little to no expectations or hopes and that way I am usually satisfied or pleasantly surprised.
