New single 'オヒアの木' composed by Kazuhito Kikuchi out now!

[DavidChaiLatte]

I think all in all the general consensus here is that she should fire Yuta Nakano and hire someone who’s a tad bit more sonically adventurous. It’d be cool to see her collaborate with Clarence Clarity tbh but still with compositions from Japanese composers. Like I’d absolutely PAY to hear it.

Isn't he Rina Sawayama's collaborator? Alterlife is a perfect update of the early Ayu style.

I feel like all my favourite recent songs are people inspired by Ayu and taking parts of her sound.

I really like both A ONE and Made in Japan, but six and TROUBLE have that indestinct mid-tempo sound for me. I've only listened to Ohia no Ki a few times because it's more of the same.
