Blah, who cares really xD

Her songs are her songs. They're different, but the way we see them really depends on who we are and how we hear the song :\

Some people might think B&D sounds like STEP you.. x.x It all depends on the listener imho. [And with many singers/artists with 100+ songs.. there's probably a few songs that sound sort of similar in some instances.. right? >>]

sometimes i think her songs do remind me of her other material...especially fairyland and angel's song. my main problem with her new songs is that although i still like them, they aren't nearly as addictive and i find that it doesn't take long before i'm tired of them.

When you start finding so many songs that sound similar to each other, you know that you're spending too much time listening to music.

Lol, you're so right. I think Born to Be sounds too much like something I've heard before, but Startin' sounds really new and fresh. And I love the sound of her latest album, I think it's really different from what she's done before.

I think it is not that bad now. Last time, when i listened to her albums, (esp I am...and Rainbow), i can never know when a song end, when the other start. ok, i admit i wasnt that much into Ayu last time, but still the songs sound more similar as compared to now. though, yeah, i hear similarities in Fairyland and Born to be...

I completely agree. they sound so similar.

i do think ayu's new songs cannot compare to the old songs. the dividing line for me is Rainbow. Pre rainbow songs are good, post rainbow songs are mediocre.

And i keep thinking that No Way To Say also sounds like some other song, but i dont know which. maybe it is because no way to say is so formulaic.

Though, why should we be complaining?
We aren't the ones who have to compose, nor do we have to write lyrics.
All we have to do is listen. And THAT's a choice.
I'm sure not even 1/4 of the people here could actually compose a good melody unlike others. Let alone a melody at all.

the lyrics leading up to the chorus of fairyland actually reminded me of the lyrics leading up to the chorus of SEASONS

haah true! no doubt ayu's past compositions are better than the current ones. but if ayu keeps on doing the same old thing over and over again, wouldn't it be too boring for her? no breakthroughs at all..

I like the latest songs much more than the past songs since I like rock style

I also think chorus of fairyland has little bit similar to that of angel's song
but I extremely like fairyland

so now Ayu copies herself...and yet again...I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!!OMG!!!Why would Ayu do such a thing.....

her quality of music has been going down for years and now it has hit an all time low...awww everyone think of RAINBOW...

I dont really think that specific sequence of notes is enough reason to say that the two songs are similar, only because, i dont think that Ayu's music is all "black and white" you really have to look deep sometimes, and they are two just very different songs. I think that its possible that the fact that the notes are the same could have to do with the specific key the song is in and the chord at that particular time...

and lets face it...Ayu (let alone the composer/arranger) probably doesnt even remember Angel's Song, or any of those other songs unless it was something like Boys and Girls.

When I first heard Inspire, I thought it sounded like another song of hers, but I forgot which one. I know it wasn't Startin', and I thought this before the release of (Miss)Understood.

I guess i can see how angel's song and fairyland sound the same..
but definitley not B&D and audience. those are like...soo different.
and B&D was composed by sweetbox..so you cant really blame ayumi

But i have to disagree on B&D and Audience.
Ayu has like way over a 100 songs. Some of them are bound to sound similar to something else, however annoying that might seem.
yup i agree you
after making hundreds of songs
its just impossible (well literally), to make new songs which dont sound a single bit similar to other songs!
