Sure, there's urban, but I sense that her somewhat rock-based fans would not react that well to it. Songs like B&D and Pride wasn't exactly well-received, and it was pretty new (I can't find another song like it). Plus her voice doesn't really go that well with RnB and hip-hop, or jazz.

Yeah, it's just ridiculous how people keep asking her to make a comeback. How can she comeback from ALREADY SO MANY innovative ideas? Even if she changes her style, the market might not like it and she'll have to revert back to her old style because that's what sells. She's not a free entertainer. She's earning her own living too. She doesn't suit every single style in this world.

And IMO, she doesn't need a comeback. She's already a POP ICON, LEGEND even in Japan. Try finding another Ayumi Hamasaki.

yeah! just dunno why people are complaining... she is doing very well, i think. well, no one can be popular forever and top the chart list eternally, isnt it?

Take madonna as an example, she used to be amazingly popular, became a trend setter (like wut ayu was a few years back), household name, u name it. And look at her now, who dares to say that madonna is not popular, and she is not doing well because her albums are selling as well as it used to be? She is one of the richest female artise! Common! Stop being grumpy and complain about part of Me, i think its just fine and i like her because of her ballads

See! At least she is down to earth and know wut is going on ! But neh~ her era is over doesnt mean its the end of her career... she could do something else, open a business, may b
