crossroad sounds like a ballad, the new L's song sounds like bubblegum mid tempo (not ballad) something like my all but with happy vibe... this casual "next level" or "red line" type song >_>".

i neeeeeeeeed something energetic, something even rockish... ayu, please suprise me with L since I am the moan-er of the year with crossroad T________T

i think crossroad is one of those ballads that comes around only once in a while. one that is just so perfect in every single way. it's on the same level as some of her other perfect ballads like HEAVEN, JEWEL, and TO BE to me.

Wow, crossroad sounds far more beautiful than I thought it would. The verses and arrangement are gorgeous. Chorus is a bit repitive but very catchy.
I'm really, really happy with this song

crossroad is.. Perfection. Don't really know another way to put it!
The performance was stunning. Can't say the same about the short ver. of the PV, doesn't seem too good, but I'll wait for the full version to give my final opinion on that.

crossroad sounds epic but I'm still not feeling it though.

Hopefully it grows on me like MOON does.

I didn't like MOON when it first came out, but after a few listen, it grew on me and its now one of my favorite songs from her.

crossroad sounds nice. I like the video, but it's boring. It has a good direction, but not enough is happening so far.

crossroad is literally 10x better than i thought.

with the original preview we had I hated it. It's is literally "epic" proportion.

the buildup of the chorus is so strong!! Much different from MOON.

crossroad's PV was filmed exactly a month ago.

crossroad is AMAZING! The only thing I don't really like about the song is how it ends abruptly but other than that, the song is epic! <3

^same here...
the ending is so bad...
is just like "eh?! it's stop just like that?"
but nothing beat monochrome ending...LOL
crossroad has so much better ending compare to monochrome...

^ wow waterballoon, u're pretty much the opposite from most ppl here..hehe..
but actually, the choruses are getting interesting at almost end of the song..it's full of emotion.. I didn't really like the chorus part at first..but after watching the performance live.. it actually sounds so cool
