Also add MOON/blossom covers (my least favorite of all her covers).

I know it has to do with a mature image and stuff but I still want to hear more rock songs from Ayu.

-Peco and Princess didn't get the boot after one live

And of course, this:

I've accepted that fandom comes hype and disappointment. Still, Ayu is my muse.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

ughhh LOL

[George]

I hope someone change it back. Seriously.

[Mr Jo']

the song: Is this love ?

And too much ballades now...

[TITANIC]

ANother song, the worst she ever recorded and Progress PV.

[ExodusUK]

Japanese law doesn't actually recognise her marriage as valid, right?

[ExodusUK]

Untitled ~for her~ too...should have been epic but it's just Guilty genericness.

I suppose RnC is a good start when talking about disappointments.. It's my least favourite, I didn't like NEXT LEVEL that much either, but RnC.. I'm not that into her rock thing, like MU was a great album even tough there were "rockish" songs, but at the end of the day, RnC does not even include that much rock. And most of the songs in it are pretty forgettable. and the last crappy album IMO is Love songs.. almost as few good tracks as in Secret.
I don't like PECO and princess either, sometimes they practically ruin her live songs! And I want CREA songs back too!

The marriage was valid in japan, but only stays valid for 3 months unless she filed additional papers with japanese government, if she didnt it was anulled on 4/1/11. Thats why when i heard reports of a japanese tv show saying it was either faked or divorced early, i tried asking questions in lots of places. The last 2 weeks of February had me wondering already, the daily posting of pics as a couple stopped very sudden.

Either way I'm sure Ayu still considers herself married no matter what archaic Japanese law dictates.

[TITANIC]

oh yeah as what Bondingo said, PECO & Princess, Shuya Have to go.
Stop collaborating with Naoya, it's nice to have a collaboration but just once is enough.

[emi♡]

I really doubt she went and changed her name though

At least, in the US, you have to change your name when you get married...it doesn't automatically happen.

I don't know how it is in Japan.

-progress PV
-NEXT LEVEL as a whole
-marrying Mannie after only a few months (however I don't wish for their divorce)
-Shuya being the love interest in every dance and every pv.
-Peco and Princess didn't get the boot after one live

[Yumsushi]

oh and I forgot RnR circus. I still can't believe how bad that album.

[Skelly]

Not understanding Japanese so I can better appreciate her lyrical skills. Oh wait, that's a disappointment in myself.

I think every album/photoshoot/tour/what have you will all have it's upsides and down. I don't like every single song on every album, and even if I don't like every song I still love owning the album!

I think Rock'n'Roll Circus is the only "disappointment" for me, just because I LOOOOOVE Microphone (those lyrics, that hard guitar!!) and was hoping that all the tracks would have such a strong rock lean. But I still like most of the tracks.

[haomudi]

Her tracks are alright to me. What I really cant bear with is her photographs in magazines and albums as well as singles in recent years. She is almost 32 as she herself said before and she confessed that she would like to try a much more mature look, which is really suitable to her temperament as I always think, but the reality is she continues to pretend to be naive in the her magazine or album photographs. Please, Ayu, please do not keep pucker your lips to play the role of babyish girl. Be yourslf, the queen of the J-pop! And I feel the cover of her latest album FIVE has definitely caught that sort of feeling which is mysterious, elegant and very very cool~!
