"crossroad" really does sound like an early 90s globe song, or really any early 90s pop ballad. I do like it (especially the strings), but it has an odd "Flavor of Life (Ballad Version)" vibe to it as if it belongs in a J-Dorama series. It's the kind of sound that the Japanese tend to love and may therefore help the single gain popularity among casual Japanese listeners, but I honestly wonder how well the single will sell since it doesn't progressively take Ayu's sound to the "next level" in preparation for #50. Again, I like the song and can understand why others do too, but I also fully understand why others don't like it.
Where are the "Because of You" and "theme of a-nation" comparisons coming from? It's more like a "LOVE ~Destiny~ x POWDER SNOW" hybrid.
