AvadaKedavra Posted September 8 Posted September 8 (edited) I've been following Ayu since 2008 (when I discovered her with Poker Face) (Im southamerican-colombian) and have been keeping up with her news since then. She was slowing down naturally like any pop artist from the 2000s but i Honestly, I feel like her marriage and divorce with Manuel Schwarz really damaged her reputation (Specially in Japan wheres thats a Taboo) I remember many people mocking her, calling her unstable. Party Queen only fueled that narrative further. Then the awful Maro situation happened, and he tried to destroy Ayumi with the media Ayumi probably regrets this relationship so much. I wonder if she regrets the era too His comments about eating grass and sleeping in a cardboard box were ridiculous He had been one of the top dancers in Japan for a long time, so if he ended up financially bankrupt, it was his own fault for not saving or investing his money. https://aramajapan.com/news/tvmovie/variety/ayumi-hamasakis-ex-boyfriend-maro-still-blames-her-for-his-misfortunes/3940/ Then she married with Tyson and i honestly was a big fan of that relationship They looked so hot-cute together i was 100% rooting for them tyson marry me baby She had that tiny stage where she was livin in Los Angeles and ready to settle and bonding with wealthy people from there Alexa Play Next Level. Love the Pacific Coast Highway Video Then she faced huge backlash for 'Americanizing herself' too much, I remember, and the 2016 Japan earthquake happened around the same time. This embarrassing situation with this messy queen also occurred during that period. I don't know if you all remember the betrayal Now going back to the situation....... I wonder if that's one of the reasons why Ayumi divorced Tyson She may have been missing Japan and felt a moral obligation to be there and he wanted to live in the States. Maybe the cover of Made In Japan is a tribute to that—'Ayumi trapped by Japan cultural attachment. This breakup damaged her reputation too But she won in the end—she has two beautiful babies now and she's livin in the best time of her life What a legacy! I just pray she's able to endure all that touring she does in the next years. I dont want her to go full deaf This is one of the reasons why i treat Remember You as her final studio album. If we get another one that would be a dream but i dont know if its realistic with the state of her hearing We need Ai Advancements to come through and restore her hearing Edited September 8 by AvadaKedavra 2 1

Curaga Posted September 12 Posted September 12 Your scores will probably look generous up against mine... but I guess that's normal atp Still, I plan to make 10 my most common score, but I'll be handing out some 1s, 2s, 3s, etc., all the way up to make sure I boost my favs and tank the ballads others 1

Kuu's rate already happened sis, no need to carry over that energy here Aw, I liked Kuu's ballads for the most part ... I just took a look at the A BALLADS track list and I like most of those songs as well. Many of those I wouldn't have thought to call ballads (though I see several remixes/rearrangements), but my 0 is there as well!
Suilen Posted September 12 Posted September 12 I have no idea what those icons mean except for Rainbow 2
