I don't really "hear" rock in Wake me up CM. It's more Startin'/dance-electro song feeling than anything rocky.

And don't compare it to Sparkle, please. It's nothing like Sparkle.

I really like she did something fast at least, buuuuut the chaotic melody disturbs me.
But it may change after full track ;d maybe Wake me up is "sad but uplifting" track? I don't know japanese so I can't judge by the lyrics. It might be just one of these lyrics like "Wide Awake" by Katy Perry (waking up after some sort of mistakes you've made or problems you've been through and still going forward = sad but still uplifting melody and lyrics) Her "dance/electro" tracks sometimes have really bitter lyrics (like (Don't)Leave me alone etc.)

the more I hear the preview, the more I like it! but I think we have still 2 ballads left lol. This can be "a rock song". It just can be descibed like in the tracklist. (I mean, the order of tracklist)

I still hoping for more mini albums and more tracks like Wake me up! I should do a bagde for my siggy... "NO MORE BALLADS" lol.
