Disappointing 10th anniversary.

[panda87]

i'm just getting the image after looking through page after page... with these long posts... it makes me think of a nursery filled with crying kids. it's amazing how her 10th anniversary could bring up such controversy (on when her debut was) and complaints (when, how, who, why). it's rude of me, but it's always unwanted to realize its good to have people like me in discussions like this to put a wake up call to everyone that we got to slow down. we're about 80 posts away from closing this forum. i really don't want to see a "disappointing anniversary thread II".

people who haven't had their say yet better hurry before then. and conclusions should be made and settled with as well. a second thread should NOT be needed for this subject, really.

^Yeah, i agree we don't need a second thread for this. But i think some really good points have been made and i'm glad for this thread. My own opinion may not be the best and certain posts have made me feel better about ayu's progress this year. It's also heartening to know that so many people will continue supporting our queen through thick and thin (although it seems TO ME to be a kinda thin period because of declining sales blah blah). So from now until her 11th anniversary, i look upon the remaining period has a continuation of her 10th anniversary celebration.

A lot of people mention how 2001 was a "great year" etc. - a great year for fans because of all the material and exposure but if you remember it was actually quite a tough and horrible year for her. Fans naturally want as much of their idol as possible yet have to balance it with remembering their idol is a human. Its tricky.

2001 was a painful year for her in my oppinion.They forced her to do DT 2001 with an injured leg,pressured to do NEVER EVER...


I agree with panda a bit,because I don't want a second thread of this.

FYI, Together When... was Ayu's first number one on the monthly Chaku-Uta charts. Surprising imo.

I hope AT08 DVD will be released before her 11th anniversary. That would keep the 10th anniversary spirit going =) I don't know how crappy NFN is but it's like a precious collector's item now lol! I think people discount it from her no.1 streak because the label's different and more likely, new fans don't know it exist. It's not that important to me. If it was under avex, maybe it would be a different story.

Yeah it would be cool. But hard. Hard if they want to have the asia leg in it anayway.

Uh, I don't think anyone does. tbh though, it did generate some good conversation (and a lot of meaningless bickering..) Best advice is to just let this thread die.

And about DT01.. Ayu was the one who wanted to do it. They wanted to postpone it, since it was already late and stuff.

This thread is the precursor to the 15th anniversary.
Oh we all know how the 15th anniversary went.....
