I think all her rock songs have a something different which I love.

GAME is very intense, mixed with slight electronic sounds.

About You is one of my ultimate favorites. I love all the drums in it. Like something a true band would play.

alterna is unique in itself.

is this LOVE? has some of the best guitar work and production ever. Very heavy.

1 LOVE and the Secret album are very "hard rock" almost like it's influenced more so by classic rock.

Talkin' 2 Myself is bordering metal - the guitar work is the heaviest of any song she has ever had and I love that.

Mirrorcle World is ... well, Mirrorcle World. It's definitely only something Ayu could pull off.

Microphone has a slight gothic influence with the organs and also has very heavy guitar work so it's a mix of something from GUILTY meets something from Secret.

I love all these songs and they are all very unique from one another.

But as far as the album recording in London... I am a bit frightened as I hope it is NOTHING like R'n'R. I will seriously shut myself up in my room and cry for a week straight and then turn that into anger and start throwing things around my apartment and breaking windows. Lol.
I think I should have elaborated a little more...but I know people are gonna disagree with this too anyways though so...rawr rawr...anyway...

I actually love nearly every single one of those songs you've listed. Some of them are some of the best songs she's ever done...but imo...The Ayu who did songs like those back then...doesn't really do songs like those anymore. They might be similar in formula or structure...but that's it.

idk it's just the way her rock songs have been going recently. There aren't THAT many of them though, and they're usually full of feeling and ayu, but the music is subpar to me, and has the general feel of trying too hard, and also, trying to hard to be like songs you listed lol

My solution to this was, she needs more diversity in the people she works with...

which, I guess, is really the only thing I want from her at all from her future releases. I don't care what she gives us really, as long as she branches out with what she's doing and testing what she can do.



random: I still don't get why RnRC gets so much hate. It has the same format of her previous albums, except the songs aren't as good. But none of her songs are "as good" so...

oh, and yey for MY STORY love. That album also gets too much hate.
