Will things be better if Ayu leaves Avex?

I'm not really sure who it is though.


When you see someone like Koda putting together all of these wonderful albums, like in terms of the physical products or her tour goods, bonus items, etc...it does make me wonder.

Koda releases the same album every year... It's probably the most formulaic top-tier popstar in Japan right now.

Don't bash on her, because the same thing can be said about Ayu half the time.

...except for last year, when she released the same album twice lol

And Kuu's work is far better put together. Just because she might use a formula it doesn't discount her work or make her less of an artist.

(and don't try the lyrics argument because if I have to read another lets go there tomorrow/ill give you my wing translation I'll barf)

If the same thing can be said about Ayu half of the time, it can be said about Koda full time... Her post Best 2nd Session albums are pretty much interchangeable. If people believe taking the Koda route will "save" her, I prefer her to keep on "failing"

It wasn't just about the music, babe.

And Ayu's fans are the first to claim she's so diverse but when an album drops they just complain about the same rehash being served to them. Youre in stan mode rn so I'll overlook your lack of logic.

I never claimmed she is "oh, so diverse", neither that she is always rehashing stuff, so, please, before addressing any stan comment to me over here in the forum, don't try putting words on my mouth

What I always say is that she has 3 core music influences (dance, rock and orchestral) and that she is always experiementing with sub-genres of those genres without ever leaving pop music.

Now, if you guys want her going on AKB48 mode just to garantee some easy sales (what she is actually doing since 2005 when she started releasing several versions of the same release), that's ok, Emiko just proved my point about Koda not really being about good music and this makes easier to see what direction some people over here expect from Ayu. Now, I want good music (what she is delivering) and good performance (what she is also delivering), not material to discuss her hair or how expensive her shoes are.

Sure I did. The wonderful thing about the koda, is that we get good music that's fun to listen to, in spite of the fact that she isn't about that, if you want to go there.


Whatever. I was trying to say, what yumsushi and hseinko said. I do want good music from Ayu...but we get what we get from her, and you know what, that's okay because she's doing her thing and whatever. The physical productions though...meh. Her releases are just kinda boring.

I already said for myself, I don't care about her career, or her sales. I realise a lot of artists don't go "Koda" with their physical releases and bonus items...but Ayu used to. And considering that most of her sales are coming from the hardcore fans anyway, it would be really nice if they got a nice something extra once in a while...

and not just like, a digital earring or something.
