Have you gotten bored of ayu????

[Raleigh]

DO YOU GET BORED OF AYU ALREADY?
Not really. I usually don't listen to her only so getting bored of her is kinda difficult. Also as some mentioned if I was bored of her I wouldn't constantly visit this forum.

PVs
Depends. The last two weren't really so exciting but a huge percentage of (miss)understood's pvs still excite me.

LIVE TOURS
I think she always comes up with something interesting in her lives especially in her Arena Tours.

SONGS:
I like how Ayu changes styles. Some artists sound the same in one whole album which tends to get boring but having such a diverse range of genres helps.

IMAGE:
Kinda hard to get bored of her image because once you've got used to one style, she'll already be cutting her hair or something.

DO YOU GET BORED OF AYU ALREADY?
Nope. Can't say never will but most probably won't.

PVs
If I got nothing to do I will watch her PVs.

LIVE TOURS
Same as above.

SONGS
Everyday, My Story and (miss)understood and my favorite songs of her past albums.

IMAGE
Definitely not.

[Yukitora]

I'm bored of Ayu... and more into Koda kumi because of BEST ~second sessions~ but she'll never get as much attention I paid to Ayu... EVER

[Qt Mashi]

DO YOU GET BORED OF AYU ALREADY?
Ummm...Ayu is still the ONLY artist i listen to so i guess not...

-PVs
i've seen all her PV's, my fav ones i've seen over and over again~ it is natural that i don't watch it much anymore

-LIVE TOURS
and again it is natural that i dont watch it anymore because i've seen her concerts on DVD many times! so ofcourse i get bored when i have already seen it like more than 5 times, the excitement is over, but not when i buy new concert!

-songs
well for songs, i don't tihnk i will ever get bored....as usual my cd player is right beside my bed, i have't had another artist album in my cd player for over a year, well actually i have put some other artists cd in but it only lasted for a day or two i always listen to Ayu everyday and every night XD

-images???
well...lately her style hasn't really made me like "wow" but i don't mind, her music is my obsession

so overall, Ayu is still my fav artist by far, i get bored of Ayu because i have already seen all her PV's and concerts but when new things come out i will watch it over and over and get bored again

[marty518]

I am a little bit bored with Ayu... because I put her on a very high pedastal. If I don't like a new single by another artist I like, I just ignore it and wait for the next release. But since Ayu is my all time favorite, if I don't REALLY like something she releases, I feel sad about it.

That's kind of how I've felt lately, since she hasn't had a really huge, great hit like "M" in a while. I want a song like that where I feel so good about it!
So, while I am not listening to Ayu as much anymore, I still support her and hope to hear new things from her all the time.

[tinyppl]

Ever since 2003, Ayu was no longer my fave artist. But I still listen and follow her new stuffs in which some I happen to like some I don't happen to. I like watching live videos of Ayu. It's alright if she doesn't dress exaggeratingly or wear pretty clothings, I like listening to Ayu sing live in which many a times I do get disappointed -.- during many poor vocal lives. But I get very happy and contented just to hear Ayu sing a good song live.

It really matters alot to me how an artist it able to sing live, yep but it's just me. Ayu is someone I like to watch out for new stuffs and appreciate her as she is even when there are songs that I dislike. I'm not too sure if I can say I'm bored with her or not. I believe it's natural that there are times that you do get tired of her in certain aspects but not too bored till I'll stop following her stuffs. If not, I wouldn't be here.

[AyuGAME]

haha i can't believe that my words can be the same that mikayuko use..
so funny!

YES YES YES

If you have any history w/ this forum you'd know how much i posted back 4 years ago (and several servers since).

Basically it boils down to her songs...theyre simply not as good as her older ones. (yeah i know what you're all gonna say, "it's objective blah blah blah" but from my standpoint it really isn't as good)

Also none of the oldtimers come here anymore like ddrmax guy, that girl (i forgot her name but she even made a digital cake for my bday), sxseven, Censations, etc.

[hallelujah_united]

^Yeah, interesting obeservation. Nowadays there's a new bunch of people flooding the forums.

Can't exactly say that my interest in Ayu has really died down, but lately I've started listening to many other artistes besides her. It could be my own tendency to try out as many styles of music as I can though.

DO YOU GET BORED OF AYU ALREADY?
saa.. i havn't been like i was before to ayu.. since after the HEAVEN single came out.. i got hyped up with HEAVEN but when she staretd to release bold & delicous.. i have started to listen to other artists...and also when she came out with Startin'/Born to be... i still feel the same way liek she released the bold& delicous.. part of my music now is 58% while "others" are other jpop artists like suzuki ami, otsuka ai, amuro namie, and others like that...

PVs
well yeah liek i said when she release the Bold & Delicous materials.... and even Startin'/Born to be... doesn't get me hyped about ayu nowadays.... i hope she'll release soemthing good soon that'll get me hyped....but i liek the MV for Pride~!! ^^

LIVE TOURS
yes! tru true!! her AT is the best! it has many illusion and the stages are so beautiful looking! it so festive! ^^

SONGS:
lie what i said... >__< Bold & delicous materials and also Startin' doens't get me hyped up nowadays.. but i'm really lookign forward to the remix of Ladies Night ~Another Night~ i hope ill get a hold of the 1min or 2 min preview of the song.

IMAGE:
i usually copy ayu's style when she always have new styles like i tried to be the guy version of ayu ^^ back then..but now.. argh... XD i dun feel like it anymore.. so i'm stuck in being a ゴスロリ person... XD

[paper_doll]

DO YOU GET BORED OF AYU ALREADY?
Pretty much. Not completely, though- I do listen to her a couple times a month... maybe.

PVs
I remember when I had like... almost all of them on my computer, now I have about 4. I haven't even bothered checking out her newest one. And, I'm usually not going to watch the PV if the song's bad.

Live Tours
Not seeing her lives isn't something new for me. I can't remember the last one I saw. She sounds fine when she performs on TV (one song, or whatever) but her voice is so blah for her concerts x_x

Songs
Yes and no. Sometimes I put in an older CD I made and can listen to it happily all the way through. Some songs I don't think I'll ever get tired of (SURREAL, I am..., Moments) but I think as time goes on, they're getting worse and that doesn't exactly excite me for the next release if I have low expectations >_>;

Image
Hmmm... well, I dunno. Even if I don't like something, it's usually gone in a short while anyways.

[Zeke.]

I must admit that I love Ayu to death. Everywhere I am I am thinking of her, singing her songs, writing her name on paper, writing her name with my finger on random surfaces, drawing pictures of her, spraying her name with the cleaner I use at work and then wiping the surfaces clean with it (lol), but I am getting a bit tired of her material lately. I really love her songs from MY STORY and all her ballads and I just wish that she would release something REALLY GOOD like Moments or RAINBOW again... I still love her more than anything and I am abit crazy over her as you can see from what I have explained from above...

[LacusClyne]

no. i'll never find myself getting bored of ayu. she always manage to give me surprisees. there might be times that i don't listen to ayu much, but she will always be my top fav artist.

[emi♡]

No. Theres just too much variety, too many songs. I dont think you can ever REALLY just get bored of Ayu.

[BanFan]

Oh boy. I sure was bored of Ayumi Hamasaki.
But then I discovered 'Duty', the savior album.
Then I realized how tired I am of Ayu, Ayu, Ayu!
There are a lot more J-pop singers that are better.
Listening to just Ayumi can get really really boring.
And watching her PVs also gets quite boring for me.
There comes a time when one finally realizes that:
Ayumi is not always going to be the greatest,
Lately she's been going down, down down, down.
And maybe she'll go up with her new single,
And maybe she'll just keep going down, down, down.
But it boils down to this for me in the end.
She's got some amazing albums etc, etc,
But really, listening to one artist, even two artists,
Is extremely tedious and variety is very necessary.
I've noticed I've lately been playing anything but Ayu.
Even when I try to listen to a few songs, it bothers me.
The only album I can get through is Duty, because it's perfect.
Ayumi's really not super trendy, or super cute anymore.
She's growing up, her music has changed and "matured".
There comes a time for change, I suppose, all the time,
And even if there's good stuff from the past left over,
Those things won't necessarily better the future. You know?
I don't know, I really am bored with Ayumi now.
I can name all 39/40 singles, I know all the videos.
What's left to do, wait for some incredible new song?
It's really unlikely that she'll be able to wow me beyond Duty.
But then again, there's that little tiny thing known as hope.
But you can only hope Ayumi will get better, but that's it.
No one here can run up to Ayumi with some new awesome song.

Hm. So yeah. To sum it up in less than that essay sized thing:
If I'm not wowed soon by Ayumi, I'll be EXTREMELY bored with her.
Wow. This rant is long, I hope no one took time to read it.
And no, I'm not insane or drunk, just bored and philosophical.

[Vinylfantasy]

I'm bored with Ayu and I only listen to her every once in awhile if my friends are playing her music in my presence. It's not like I have a grudge against her or her fans or anything, I've just moved on to other artists and styles of music.

[Deep snow]

my dear, no...

i am not bored.... although it seems like ayu's rushing her releases, (it's only THREE months after her album release and she's releasing yet another new single? no wonder the sales are low)

i think ayu should have longer breaks between her singles releases, for it will boost her sales back!

<being off-topic>
anyway! i'm not bored of her currently, but there are times when i feel kinda tired of listening to her, so i listened to Mika, or DAI, but the space for ayu in my heart is ALWAYS bigger than the ones for Mika or DAI

[pbs1605]

Not bored at all,i only discovered Ayumi late last year,so it is all exciting and new to me.
