Guys, Ayu's not doing hip-hop or reggae. I think that's clear. The article didn't even say she is requesting "hip-hop or reggae songs," but rather "songs with a hip-hop or reggae taste." That means her normal msuic, but with a bit of a [h-h/r] flair. Don't expect anything too drastic.

In addition, the article's source said "Maybe she's thinking of becoming like Amuro Namie." But I think we can all agree that Namie is neither hip-hop nor reggae. The person clearly has no idea what they are talking about; so rest easy.
