You're making it seem worse than it is. She has ups and downs. It's normal.

I think so too. Her earlier PV's have such a beautiful story sometimes. I watched her new PV's (Another song for example) and sometimes i thought "Is there any background story?"
I don't like PV's with only one scene and dance-parts only. I love ayu's PV's where you can see, that was a hard work to shoot and a big effort.

The best example was "Progress" i was so dissappointed, when i saw this PV. What was this? It is such an epic song...and it had deserved an epic pv...

progress is one of my favorite Ayu PVs. It's creative, inspiring and breaks the boundaries of typical pop PVs by being rather conceptual.
It's actually a fresh idea and not a generic love story or dancing at the beach PV. If I want bad lovestory or dancing PVs I can just watch MTV.

Earth_maiden · #**366** 5th February 2012, 01:33 PM

Lol, so much "I hope its not this, I hope its not that" talk. At least Ayu is releasing something at all. Some people are still waiting on any kind of news from ICONIQ or MIZCA, imagine waiting 18 months between releases from Ayu.

HilaryDuffFanboy · #**367** 5th February 2012, 01:43 PM

I think she has bounced back a bit from her musical low. Love songs was a great album! But if you look at A COMPLETE, the 2nd disc is almost flawless, and then you get to 3rd disc and the quality sort of takes a nosedive...........

AyuWorld · #**368** 5th February 2012, 02:17 PM

seriuosly i cant wait to listen to this album, especially taskebab and a cup of tea!really gives an effect for those who didnt know Ayu,like my friends really think i had taskebab and a cup of tea when i wrote it on fb

tokyoxjapanxfan · #**369** 5th February 2012, 03:16 PM

I dont know why so many people hate the title taskebab. perhaps youve never had one. theyre delicious

Ayu's music went downhill? Naaah... I completely disagree, but I guess to each his own. I really loved FIVE. Though as for her PVs they really did go downhill. Her last best PV was do it again IMO. Epic and with meaning behind it.

I agree, I absolutely hated FIVE's PV's with a passion. I mean like, progress... I thought it would have an animated PV because it was a song for a game... But no, instead we get a weird PV about travelling or something.. It looked more like something of a schoolproject... beloved was super boring, Why...: I didn't liked it, and ANother song, don't even get me started on that one, they try way to hard.

I'm into the pv's with the 'creepy endings', like RAINBOW, when the two ayu's were sitting at the table, and the waitress only gave 1 ayu a glass of water, then that ayu laughed mischievously and the other ayu disappeared. :O. And the one pv where ayu plays with the children and wakes up all gothic like on a bench (forgot the song name). And ourselves, when the SUPER CREEPY ayu-men appear in her car, and the pv ends.

Always make you wondering what if.

YuriChan · #**372** 5th February 2012, 03:40 PM

^I think you're talking the PV for "sweet season". O.o;

THIS. IMO the last best PV of ayu is do it again. i always love ayu's PV being deep meaning. that's why i love part of Me so much <3

I agree with you. Not that i didn't like the pics,actually i did like her looks a lot, but i do think some of them they were too obvious.

Anyway,abtract is not an Ayumi signature when it comes to pictures, i think expecting that from her might not be a great idea since virtually all her photos are commercial and meant exclusively to promote her.

My guess for this album is that,despite it's name, it's gonna have an angry and instrospective feeling;i present the Party Queen title actually hides a very dark album.

.

Can't wait to hear it

You shouldn't really look at ANother song as an ayumi hamasaki song as the whole thing was made to fit Urata's "urban" image or whatever he thinks he is doing. The video was a typical pop garbage and imo it shouldn't have been made in the first place. On the other side, progress is in a way a small piece of art and I have to agree with isthisLOL? on what he said about it. Her videos didn't go downhill, she has ups and downs on that field as well. Imo MOON, do it again, Virgin Road and Sweet Season were really on pair with her older PV works, where the majority of FIVE videos simply aren't, but that's ok cuz not all of her videos were amazing to begin with, as some are simply way better than the others. It's normal for someone with so many videos ^^ I mean Koda Kumi, BoA and Namie Amuro have an impressive amount of music videos as well and I can hardly think of a couple of their PVs that are actually worth watching more than once.

Except there has been no real "up" in her music for me since You Were.../Ballad.

Of those I would say I like Microphone, Last angel and Love song. However, none of them have the same impact for me that her releases previous to these have had. When RnRC was released it was the first time I was truly disappointed in a release Ayu had made. And from there the biggest up she's had for me was thinking about those songs "Oh, this song is horribly, unbearably boring like her other songs have been!".

you didn't get my point right

setsuka · #**380** 5th February 2012, 06:47 PM

are ppl talking about RnRc
like all Ayu , I love more songs than dislike but my problem with this album was that the theme and the music had a disconnect and even the covers, the whole thing was so random
but the amazing tour totally made for the RnRc era, even though can she plz sing Last Links
Love Songs was flawless to me,still is and FIVE gave me beloved and BRILLANTE

so yeah, the songs I am dying to hear is NANANA
