I don't agree with HANABI ~episode II~ being rock at all (it's got more electronic elements than anything) or You were... (loud guitars and shout-y chorus don't necessarily equal rock, but then I haven't listened to that song very closely at all).

I'd argue that just because a song has soft parts doesn't mean it can't still be rock inclined (fated). I mean, all the songs in question are pop rock more than "true rock" anyway. fated has a really pop rock arrangement so I think it qualifies regardless of the soft verses.
