The composers are usually the ones who decide the sound of the song, I think..

But the artist might also communicate with the composer to tweak [a la Ladies Night -AN-]~

my opinion...yes, I mean, MY Opinion...well...no, my suggestion...what I wanted to say is

let her leave the scene, have a fmaily with Tomoya, small Hamasaki [child :)]
and then...
COME BACK WITH MEGA-HIT! YO!

and yesH...I am serious :yes

that sounds HOT!

It'd be interesting and hilarious if Ayu did a country album XDXDXD!!!!!!!!

how about something thats super experimental? something glitchy like noriko tujiko, or something completely rock, instead of the pseudo pop rock she makes now (not that i don't like what she makes now, as i do).

Mmm j-rock Ayu would be so hot. XD She will have her hair in Because of You style. XD

Nah, she'd shave it all off.

i want experimental ayu!
but i think that's hikki's forte right now
so i want techno and rock and emo ballad ayu!
yayyyy

I'm not very much a fan of that genre, but if she'd manage to pull it off as well as Shania Twain does I wouldn't mind :).

i think I AM is still her best album, but SECRET is by no means crap. you are right, she still hasnt lost her touch!

Of course, Ayu always :D

i would love her to just keep on exploring her music that really suits her..
not hip pop or rap or rnb.. (well b & d gives a bit rnb influence..but not much..)
or jazz..nah~ definitely not suit her...i don't know..

i thought maybe she should experiment with instruments that she will use on her music..maybe the indian's influence, chinese's traditional instruments?
that would be cool too!

and we just can't tell her to stop release someting as you thought that she has done it all...
look at madonna? she keeps on exploring her music..
so does ayu~

Hmm

Heavy Metal and emo would be nice

I can imagine the cover now, blood trickling down her lip and the back cover would be a table with a blooded razor blade on it and a few drops of blood

I could start writing lyrics but i need more pepsi max

I dunno. With her special voice, I'm sure she could get me to like any genre of music, even if I swore I hated it before. Srsly.

I don't think she should try other mucis style, she is OK right now. I am happy with the current Ayu :)

you know...maybe Ayu will start getting into more remixy and classical/instrimental type stuff again.

I dont think i would like a Jazz album.

Enka Ayu fo sheezy.

Me too, i prefer songs like BLUE BIRD and momentum :D

I WOULD LOVE A JAZZ ALBUM


Her version of White Christmas for the Freixenet CM was really amazing. Me want full version
