I usually don't comment on these types of discussions, but I will this time.
Okay first off maaya-needing yoko.
I don't think maaya need kanno, but you would be a fool to say kanno (a high caliber producer) does not enhance maayas songs. Maaya can only provide half of a song, the vocals. So techinacally if maaya doesn't NEED kanno to make a song, she NEEDS someone else, so its kind of unfair the way people are phrasing.. or putting it.
Yoko and maaya
Now we can say without a doubt that that maaya has worked with kanno the most. Out of all available producers in the world, the one who knows maaya the best is kanno. If there is anyone in the world who can compose a song and make it for maaya, I would think it would be kanno, simply because of the length of time they worked together. So I believe that simply the amount of time they worked together, would allow them to be able to work more efficiently and also give the other what they want out of the song.
After the break up
Since they stopped making music together, 2 albums have been made and 1 is about to be released. They were both very good quality,imo. They had... different feels, but still good. From what I've heard of the singles she has released, the new album looks like its going to be good too.
Although I must say that my favorite 2 maaya related albums were produced by kanno, 23ji and easy listening (used to be lucy for top maaya album). Although my favorite 2 maaya related things are by kanno doesn't mean that without kanno she fails, it just means the music will sound different.
I do not judge how good an artist is by their sales, it depends on how their songs make me feel. So maaya selling more or less after kanno leaving means nothing to me. As a fan, I judge her music by how it affects me. I personally love jazz and love kanno jazz especially, but that does not take away from the song other producers have made for maaya.
Well thats just my 2 cents, either way, I'm happy this album is coming and coming soon
