I think that even evolution could be considered cute (because of the voice/the way ayu acts in the PV) or just look at the lives,, SIGNAL, Fly high and AUDIENCE too (and I suppose WE WISH?). Not as bluntly as ANGEL'S SONG, and HONEY but still..
I tend to not count A song for xx because I think they were trying many many different things, as one is prone to do, for a debut album -- but you are right, it does fit the description as well.

Don't think the same really holds true for Loveppears - RAINBOW though. Fly High and Audience weren't really cutesy until she started making them 'cute' when her concerts become That Particular Formula (rock/bondage, cute/sexy, pretty/ballads, u know what I'm referring to)

I'm not saying these things as criticisms of course, I still very much enjoy all her concerts and albums even though I know exactly what to expect.

ANYWAY, let's talk about the new songs. WARNING was very very good. As good as Until that day and 1Love from Secret (which, to me, are some of her best 'rock' songs).
