I mean, what is an example of a purely "ROCK" group/singer? Do you have to be in a group to be considered "rock" ? Food for thought. Many of Ayu's rock/rockish songs you would never hear your average pop artist sing, so just because she is by definition a "pop star" means that anything she puts out is considered pop?
Ugh, I think they meant songs like (d)lma versus something like talkin' 2 myself, where one has rock influences but can still be played commercially and is alot "easier" on the ears than the other type. Other songs that can be classed as pop rock would be About You, Until that day... does that make sense, when you'd compare it to heavier songs like Microphone and such?
I think alot of Ayu's music does lie in the middle, though. She definitely has rok music in her though. I sometimes wish she were part of a band because she CLEARLY is into it and loves it.

That person wasn't discrediting Ayu or anything, so you can take a chill pill.

AHS is seriously overdramatic.
