I don't think so.

I think Ayu was one of the few artists to start the trend of roman-titled songs. And she remains one of the few who continues to do it. For me, memorizing Japanese song titles is hard. I can only remember easy ones like "ai no uta" and "wasurenaide". If it exceeds that length, it really doesn't matter how good the song is because I won't remember it from tomorrow.

One of the reason's why I love Ayu's western-thinking is because I'm a westerner by fact, and her music is western-friendly.

Ayu's hair color...I think she looks good with the honey-blond color she rocks, but I would like to see her with a different color every now and then. And no, that does not include that FUGLY red wig she wore for the (miss)understood tour, nor the platinum blond that makes the lighting effect from "Born to Be" cringe in horror. I'd like to see her in black, or even the color she wore during the Bold & Delicious/(miss)understood promotion.

She may not have looked like Ayu, but I thought it was a great change. It was fresh and she looked very cute when it was in pigtails. ^_^v
