Most melodies however are not ballady, even if the songs are not upbeat.
Having some more actual ballads, like how beautiful you are, would be a pretty big change and I'd look forward to a ballad-heavy album. I missed ballads on the albums after Rock n Roll Circus

Exactly! Ayu's ballads have always been favourites of mine. They have an intensity to them that, to me, makes her discog stand out as something significant.
On the topic of a NEXT LEVEL-esque album... eh. NL took me a really long time to grow on me which isn't really typical for Ayu, so if the new album ends up being like that I'll be just a tad upset. It felt really random to me, like Secret, and I don't like hodgepodge albums.
