Kalen Anzai cast as Ayu in the drama adaptation of "M 愛すべき人がいて"

[Andrenekoi]

About Kalen, emulating someone bigger is a recurrent strategy to introduce a new musician to the mainstream and several bog acts started like that. The pop music public tends to gravitate towards stuff with a sense of familiarity. It's not like Ayu didn't borrowed from other on her eaely days, or that Kalen is the first one modeled after Ayu.

About the Drama, I'm just curious. It seens like it will be so bad its good.

Thank you for throwing your voice in on this. It means a lot that you and I are relatively on the same page about Kalen, if only because, for me, she has really brought back that part of me that got excited for singles, for covers, for PVs. So far, whether short-lived or not, I get a little while to experience J-Pop again like I did 15 years ago when my now-passed best friend first introduced me to Ayu with the "Moments" PV.

Anyway, thank you again, Andrenekoi. I hope you've been well, and I hope everyone on the Discord is doing well too!

PS: Still doing fine here since my su&%*!" attempt in 2018. I haven't had any thoughts since then, and even though I have no one to really talk to (and haven't seen I disappeared from the Discord), I'm doing far better overall mentally. I do, however, miss connecting with you and others in chat, and I owe a lot of my increased thoughtfulness regarding what I say and how I say it to you and others who, regardless of our spats, still treated me like a part of the group on Discord. Thank you!

Even though I found the first episode horrible, your response really made me tear up. Maybe I'm too emotional at the moment anyway (yeah well, not maybe, definitely lol), but I always loved to hear your thoughts about stuff and actually already missed you in the "30 Day Ayu Challenge". I would really much like to read your thoughts on some of the challenges. In case you would like to, I would be happy if you would stillt join! Of course everyone else is welcome, too!
