Reading so many enthusiastic opinions, it seems a lot of people were lured to Ayumi's work through the her harder-sounding songs - but it's not what made her. She used to be pop all the way through, only afterwards she slowly switched to all that rock-ish sounding. Now she's doing some fine rock-ish songs and pretty average pop.
I think I would perfer her to stick to pop and do it good.

Hmm, I do see what you're saying, but Ayu isn't a singer born, and it's easier for her to rise up above that and really show her vocal capabilities through rock songs. I'd much rather prefer rock songs with such well done composition to match Ayu's voice like this one than, say...another "HONEY". That song is fun, but it's not really a fine show of what Ayu's really capable of.

I agree. Are You Wake Up borders on techno even, given the synths.
And where are all you people getting "urban" feels from? =\ Very, very little of Ayu's work sounds urban to me. Startin' was pretty much pop/rock with some fun record scratching in the background. It definitely was no where near urban.
