Ummm nobody is not okay with people liking the stuff. You do you and I'll do me, man.
It really feels like the larger problem is rabid fans sweeping in to say "LEAVE AYU ALONE!". If there are some people who feel like she's being lazy, why is that not a legitimate opinion? If some people feel like there is a major drop in production values in her work (which honestly -- there is....), why is that a wrong view to express? Nobody has ANY problem with people liking the stuff, but it does feel like many of the "lovers" (as opposed to "haters") get pretty riled up by the haters by: 1. Insisting that every single negative comment be explicitly caveated by "OPINION!!!!" even though every post is obviously going to be an opinion 2. Writing long lengthy posts explaining to us why we are wrong in disliking the stuff. 3. Complaining about how it makes them feel unwelcome, even though we say literally NOTHING about their opinions, and they are the ones constantly reminding us why we are such bad fans to criticise stuff that she does. 4. Cherry picking our criticisms -- which are largely of the music videos, and ignoring the near universal praise that the music (on MIJ) has received. Okay, last post I'm gonna write on this subject. I'm done. Last edited by js_surrealism; 20th June 2016 at 04:08 AM. |

I don't think that's true. I don't have a boner for her earlier works, and I don't dislike Ayu right now or think she's horrible. I still pretty much am a huge fan, and all I'm saying is - I don't really like her execution in the past 6 years or so. you quoting what i typed, but only quoting a particular paragraph shows me that you're picking on my words and that you just don't like it when someone criticizes Ayu, which i find baffling. if you work for her, and you're part of her crew, and so you end up praising everything she does, which leads to where she is today, I understand, cos you know, she gives you her paycheck. but we're fans on a forum, and last i checked, a forum is a place for us to discuss opinions. i may have been a sarcastic person at times, but i don't think i've ever rudely criticized Ayu or say hurtful things like, "her career is over". i like what i like, and i dislike what i dislike. if i give reasonable explanations to my preferences, i don't see how i am annoying. this is Ayumi Hamasaki Sekai Forum, not the AHS Circlejerk. yeah I was mainly referring to her PVs.. music has been top-notch as always.. just that even if she had really cheesy PVs like ANGEL'S SONG, at least the execution was fine and everything was clear and concise.. not a haphazard mess lol

lol I feel like I'm the only one that thinks Ayu has a pretty great videography and was super consistent for most of her career. I like 95% of the PVs from I am... until FIVE. I like a handful of the ones from before then (particularly appears, Boys & Girls, kanariya and SURREAL) and then she kinda dropped off before picking back up again starting with A ONE.

I think around that time during FIVE and after was when she was just putting out videos and music just because she felt she had to. You could feel that something was a little different compared to before.
I hope that in the near future, she wants to challenge herself once again with new directors and a new vision for her PVs, but for now I think since the 'reset' in 2015, she's doing fine.

I rolled my eyes when the chorus hit in Flower but I think Id like to see what will happen at the end. Dont look back Part II?
Mad world is such an amazing song and I thought the idea of making the PV this personal is great. I have to say that with an album like this obviously expectations for these songs were high so I hope the rest of the PV measures up. P.s. Its the ugly crying that makes Hanabi ep II so great |

Ugly crying plus Ayu on guitar with the "gray" side of summer.

I realized that PV "Mad World" is lacking of the second part before coming to "たった自分ひとりだけが
立ち上がったとこで 意味はない そうやって知らぬ誰かが 先に立つのを待つの? " without the cutting part. I am worried that this PV will be as same as "SEASONS" 'one. |

There's a reason why the same 4 or 5 people are the ones people are always complaining about how negative the posts are. |

I was always under the impression Hanabi II was a well received video o_o
Perhaps that's just because it's one of my favorites. I'm weird though, because I list Daybreak as another one of my favorites. The atmosphere of both those videos is something that just resonates with me.

I thought it was too... Daybreak is a tossup though. In the mid 2000s it was regarded as the Ayu + toilet paper PV that was questionable.

^ yeah back in 2004 when I became a fan it was certainly one of the videos on the bottom of the totem pole haha
Ayu seems to enjoy one take videos though. Daybreak, HEAVEN, Sweet scar, FLOWER... Although in FLOWER's case it seems to truly have been done just one time? Not sure about how many takes she did for the other ones. And am I missing any? Were Angel and Curtain call one takes?
