Seiko is the ultimate idol... And even if she didn't have a big hit since mid 90's, she still sells out her tours yearly (performing on some of the venues Ayu does) and have some of the most expensive tickets on the game.

@orbitalaspect

Once you say Ayu is aging like Seiko u lost it. She may be aging like Seiko sales-wise, but she is far from maintaining the same image since the 90's, and even when she goes kawaii, she perverts it by wearing her most revealing outfits, using it on a more fetish-like way.

Comparing:





You lost it once you said she is releasing the same kind of music over and over again too. The stuff she released from 98~2001, and then from 2002~2005, 2006~2008, 2009~2011 are very different, even if she had similar tracks (usually summerish, winterish and concert enders) here and there. She is always adding new aesthetics to her song and very few tracks on her discography were released sounding dated... a lot of them don't sound dated even today.

And sorry, but comparing her to Namie creative-wise is just... meh. 90% of Namie's concerts are pretty much interchangeable, 95% of her videos are pretty much interchangeable too. She also goes safe a lot more than Ayumi music wise, being it either 90's Eurodance, 00s hip-pop or 10's Electropop. She have some AMAZING experiementing moments here and there, mostly between Play and Uncontrolable singles, but most of the time she just delivers what is expected for her to release.

The thing is... most of the time Ayu's Western fanbase (AHS?) starts *****ing a lot about her, she usually is going through some big image/style/sound change... And this is what is happening now.

Namie is so basic, it's an insult to ayu to compare the two.

Just imagine if the mini did not pass 50k.

2nd meltdown of the year/1st of the next year.

I agree with you even though voyage and forgiveness are really hard to sing but the others are kind of easy.

Why can't she stop this whole thing, get her **** together and release a solid studio album with a good concept? T__T
And also promote it properly, at this point the general public doesn't even know that she's still alive.

It isn't getting any promotion at all, maybe like 1 truck going around shibuya which I've seen twice in a week, and I'm in Shibuya almost every day

And I went to Tower Records again today and there were only 2 copies of again, as in they only put 2 for display :/ And it was hard to find too lol Totally opposite to YUI and flumpool who are pretty much everywhere.

But as some of you said, if Ayu doesn't care about the sale, why should I care...

I bought the CD+DVD today. I wish again and LOVE were the part of one regular album. This album I would like way more than all her recent albums like PQ, LS and etc.

Even Ayu herself said that she's not going to care about charts (and sales I guess) for these releases, just think this as a gift for her fans, care about music and not sales.

I think making A BEST 3 as part of this 5 release(s) promotion would just about seal the deal on her career and honestly I feel like nobody would buy even that.
