crossroad sounds like a song that would be amazing with acoustic guitars. I like the way Ayu is going~

I enjoy even the preview already - I LOVE the melody and her vocals (as much as I'm able to hear). Ready to listen to it over and over, over and over *_* It's so hypnotic...

So far I like how everything is, although I kind of miss those "shocking" titles that I couldn't imagine being titles of ayu songs, lol. The first thing I was reminded of when I heard it was CREA. It sounds so suspiciously CREA to me.

I agree, very CREA-ish. kinda like winding road to me.

Can anyone make out the words in the chaku-uta??

Anyways, I'm kinda so so on this whole singles project. MOON/blossom was good, her voice sounded really good. I hope she does like a really super epic ballad for one of the next 2 singles.
I think that could apply for her singles.

I feel R'n'RC had more field for experimentation and that's awesome however, she's been doing too much ballads indeed, and S/S was a huuuuge let down 4 me. so i hope this next single somehow can compensate the excessive amount of ballads. i really dont care about the title, i want a good song

^ and about your idea above, that would be ****ing amazing. A ballad, rock,and an upbeat song... like i said before, we've already had waaay too many ballads.

That would be cool

From the comments i'm seeing, id rather stay away from that song. The idea of a nineties sound bores me to death, and i was never a big fan of her older material anyway. I hope the b-side (and especially the 50° single) can make it up this track.

AMEN


AYU,PLEASE, WE WANT ROCK!!!!!


Ayu doing hip hop?



no way. Jen is right, she has done some R&B and has been really good, if she does something along the lines of some of her older songs would be indeed awesome. but american R&B?

I wouldn't mind the ballads so much if she only put some variation with them. Like maybe a piano ballad, then a midtempo sorta ballad, then maybe an epic orchestra ballad instead of Midtempo ballad constantly. And if the lyrics had some variation in them instead of them always being about how she broke up with Tomoya Nagase and she's still not over it.

And don't even get me started about her constant sobbing in the pvs lately, talk about fake, lame, and annoying.

Maybe the single will be another a-side and one of the songs will be up-beat.

Or she just keeps the up-beat songs to the 50th single because they tend to do less good but commercially a 50th single is something big so it should be better promoted/commercialed. It might not be like that, just an assumption.

Even though I love Ayu's rock songs, we don't have to forgot it's ayu we are talking about.. she is famous by her ballads, most of her songs are ballads! so it's normal she does a lot of them if most of her fans want those...

For the preview, as everyone says, it's like listening the old ayu with nowadays voice~ I like the preview... sometimes is nice to have a pleasant song, that just makes you feel good, and calm~

I disagree. There's definitely an equal part of pop, rock, and ballads in her discography.

Preview sounds nice =)

I hope the b-side for Crossroad will be rockish, and that her 50th single will contain re-sung versions of all my favs haha! =P

i kind of like the preview.

although, it gives me a sort of "anthem" vibe, like independent or born to be.
