[2007] Things you hate about Ayu? OMG.

Okay, maybe hate is a strong word, things you dislike.
And if you're got to say "Nothing", then go away. :3

Okies;
- That she doesn't use her natural hair color enough.
- That she won't admit to her plastic surgery.
- That she always does that stupid "I'm so young!" pose on magazines.
-- (You know, pouting of the lips and the big eyes).
- That her lives suck 75% of the time since 2005.
- That she only uses CREA once in a blue moon.

Remember, this is my opinion. Now tell me yours!

[the angel song]

I can see a flame war about to happen if people take it too seriously lol.
-Using her dancers too much in PVs
-Some choices in costume for concerts
-THE POUTY LIPS!

But I'll call them petpeeves. There's more good she does that negates the bad .

Like the fake red hair in B&D And her dancers are dancers not actors

I'm tired of panasonic commercials, her CMs aren't great as before, she needs more variety

The niche of her fans that are complete retards and post mindless crap on discussion forums based around her.

[Coelacanth]

The lack of control over her vibrato in lives and her retarded release schedule for the past 2 years.

Wouldn't she have to be asked first?

She's not the same Ayu that I knew a couple of years ago!

agree!

and I dont like about being lazy in making an album... 14 songs, 4 of them are not even a full songs, 5 of them are old songs, 5 new songs which is so mediocre.... and there is only 7-8 clips.... I wish she make 14 songs with 14 real video clips

I honestly think ayu fans are a little spoiled. Most artists release 10-11 track albums at every release. ayu usually releases way too many tracks in her albums actually. She's kinda an exception. (I'd also like to point that I still have the opinion that ayu is one of the only artist who has the least filler tracks I know. Most artists I listen to, usually have their albums being strong only because of the single tracks). As for videos, it's very exaggerated to release a promotional video for every single song. It doesn't make sense and isn't profitable. No artist, as far as I know, does that.

You've got good points, I hardly feel when I listen to a whole ayu album that there is any filler track, it's like all of the tracks fits the place they are, some artists has such a mixed albums and have some filler tracks here and there, or a lot of them.

And yep, ayu sure love her work, she's just living in a strain to satisfy her spoiled fans she likes =P (well not most but a lot are anyway).

I find a lot of fans with unrealistic or exaggerated expectations of her, and they want ayu to do stuff that it's just not ayu (advice: look for artists who can satisfy you instead of complaining consitently on ayu), or her music doesn't suit them anymore so the keep complaining.

Unless you're Koda Kumi, then it's every song for every PV. I don't like that anyways, unless it's on mini-albums.

And agreed on the album track and fillers. Like, I love most of Otsuka Ai's singles, but most of her album tracks I find really subpar (mostly 1/2 of her album tracks are good, the other half are just fillers IMO). Which is why I feel like, throughout all of the artist forums I participate in, Ayu forums seems to have the fans wanting and complaining the most. PV wise, she actually have a decent amount of PV on her DVDs.

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

Er... mine is

-not enough pop songs!
- Dresses like a senior citizen

done.

[ImpactBreaker]

-annual unnatural pre-produced stuff: THE SUMMER SINGLE, THE WINTER SINGLE, THE BALLAD SINGLE: a c/w b
-no more trance songs/remixes

[immel]

Agreed.

We need more Ayu on the dance floors around the world.

[zoomzoom]

I wouldn't say I hate it but im not too fond of her vibrato sometimes (beginning of evolution at cdl0607) .. idk what else really

[Raleigh]

- Too many pvs with her dancers/band. I hate seeing them shoved in my face. They should be in the concerts and tv shows only
- PECO and Princess. Their vocals are not impressive and they're not particularly young. I think it's time for new backup singers.
- The fact that she seems unwilling to experiment with new musicians
- Lack of collaborations
- How she sticks to the same formula of promotion: music.jp/mu-mo/panasonic

Same here.... PECO and Princess need a vacation and new musicians wont hurt her career.

Im also hoping for another CREA single

I don't really see anything wrong with the things some other people have
said...the pouty lips is a definite 'no' though
and the plastic surgery thing cant be proven so you cant really get mad about it. At least I dont..

LOL. I love you. That's EXACTLY what I was going to say. Their voices don't match up with Ayu's at ALL. I don't understand why they're there. O_o That's not to say I hate them or anything, they just don't seem to "fit" in my opinion. :/

Also:
-pouty lips (like many people have said)
-PVs where she just sits there and does nothing
-summery songs that all start sounding like the same (don't get me wrong, I LOVE her happy songs, but they're starting to sound the same)

[Akutenshi]

- She's unwilling to change up her arrangers. H/\L and CMJK are getting stale and running out of ideas.
- She doesn't do vocal bridges very often anymore.
- Her obsession with crowding her albums with interludes.
