So now that's the single's out, what do you guys think of Diamond/Over the Clouds? I think Over the Clouds is amazing, and Diamond's just alright. The covers are nice, Diamond's PV is okay. It's a decent single  |

I like the promo picture where she's in the darker dress and thinks that, that should have been one of the covers.
I heard this single isn't selling that well. I'm not overly shocked. But sad for her nonetheless, since this single was a double A side and two tie-ins ... and one of them is huge.
I agree with you though, I also feel that Over the Clouds trumps Diamond, though I like Diamond compare to her not so good songs on her second album 
I think it's a wrong move by AVEX and her management team to make her more mainstream. I know that marketing and business wise they were trying to reach a larger audience but I think it's hurting her more than helping her =( A lot of previous fans now insist she's an Ayu-wanna be or Ayu 2.0 and it annoys me a lot. I too kind of would like her to go back to her roots ... as it's what got me interested in her in the first place. There's no denying she's got fabulous vocals and pretty looking but if you don't put good songs out there (and unique on top of that to make you stand out), it's hard to sell well. |

| I'll have to agree. I liked alan from the start...I still love her voice...but her latest single hasn't garnered many listens from me. |

| I definitely agree. Ashita e no Sanka remains one of the greatest songs ever to come out of J-Pop. Seriously. If she could just go back to music that utilized the full potential of her voice, I'd be happy. |

I'm sad that the new single isn't selling well  
the singles is a tad bit different that her usual style but thats how i felt about the 2nd album in general. Give or take some tracks. Overall I still like the single minus all the ayu comments with Diamond. And I overall enjoyed the 2nd album
I ordered my single but wont get it until the concert ships which brings me to I ordered that bag off YesAsia from the concert I wanted to order the towel but I felt it was expensive I love the pics from the concert I watched the videos for the preview on the concert I can't wait |

Dude, it had a tie-in with Inuyasha and it still only got #20 on the weekly? That sucks. I expected top 10 at least. D<
I can't say I totally approve of the direction her music is headed, but I still want her to chart well and get more popular. And Over the Clouds was pretty awesome, too.
Sigh. |
