New album (January 2023)

[BlackSilence]

I don’t know what it is with me, but sadly i feel like i just stopped being excited about her stuff. It makes me sad, cuz she seems to always be so hyped up about it. Everything just falls flat on it’s face for me. Not to mention that this sounds like a set of songs that were done randomly and will just get thrown together to fill in the gaps.

I’m just an old soul by now i guess. Todays pop music just feels lifeless, generic and superficial to me and no matter how much i try to get into the stuff she releases, the songs that i end up liking are getting more and more far a few between. I haven’t had her newer stuff on repeat since Last Minute and that album came out.

It’s really making me sad that i feel this way, there are fewer and fewer things that give me joy. She and her music used to be one of them. I miss it so much.

I have lost 80% interested in her stuff since Party Queen. Party Queen is one of the worst album I have never had. After that album, most of her music / PVs are like from recycle bins. The only excited release was Zutto... / Last Minute / Walk, the single cover is great, the song Last Minute is so personal, I felt like going back to her (miss)understood era while I listen Last Minute.

So all the content was from the recycling bin but you got excited by a single that felt like going back to previous material? There's really no winning here.

I love Last minute as much as the next guy but that single is the Ayuest thing to ever Ayu. Party Queen has got massive production flaws but is to this day one of her most thought out albums and offers songs and styles completely unique to her discography, which is insane when you think of how long she's been going.


On that topic, I'm excited for MASK because from the description it might be closer to what we usually get from her than the last two singles, so it'll be interesting to see how she navigates that to keep it fresh! It may be a good indicator of where she's going with the album.

I dont have to love, getting excited, every single released from her. Many releases since Party Queen are purely either recycling and bad.

You enjoy Party Queen, go ahead. Not for me. I throw that album into rubbish bin years ago.

I'd love to know how you got that from my message? Literally never said anyone had to like anything, I was just pointing out that you said her recent songs felt recycled while praising a single for making you think of a previous release. I'm sure you can appreciate why that sounds weird?


I'm really not too keen on Remember you as a title, I hope it's not the album's! I feel that it's fairly common for CDLs to have their own titles though (Future classics, Promised land, ...) so hopefully its just the concert's name!
