The photos for crossroad just get weirder and weirder LOL.

One more time i prefer the inside pictures than the cover (i love more the inside pictures of MOON than the real covers too).

I am really loving this single so far. I cannot wait for the orchestra arrangements (and hopefully not badly done ala Last Links on M/b.)

i think it was just her voice that was the problem in the Last Links one because the music was still beautiful. i don't have a problem with her voice in MOON or blossom (i think her voice sounds so sweet) so i think they're going to sound awesome in their orchestra versions.

i kinda feel that ayu's vocal for crossroad, Virgin Road is wayyyyyyyyy softer than the one in MOON... i mean, did she try to make her vocal sound deeper in MOON to get the emotional feeling? because I think that way~ it's not liked her vocal sounds bad or rough..but it's just how she's gonna sing according to the songs' meaning...how is she going to interpret the songs' meaning through her vocal abilities..

I haven't cared for the crossroad covers at all, but I do have to say, that picture in the glasses is actually pretty cute!

[Mintkisses]

I'm VERY happy with crossroad and L. When I get the money, I will spend it on buying the singles. This is the first time I'm excited about something she's done since Sparkle.

I love the nerdy-but-stylish Ayu on the single

[Kingdom]

I looooove SEVEN DAYS WAR! It is such a good song, the chorus is so cute.

I wish it had it's own pv.

Why don't they (the people who owns crossroad) show us everything?

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

^^ They (AyuChina) have this deal with avex to not give everything away before a release's official date. Cause if they do, they won't be able to get early releases of singles and albums anymore.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

And avex lets them create illegal downloads???

[~angel*ayumi~]

avex knows that there will be illegal downloads anyway as soon as the single is released.
They are giving the ppl from ayuchina the release earlier to promote it, to give the fans little by little.

[Polyrhythm]

LOL....if you think leaks just happen on their own.........

[ayumisrael]

crossroad's such a good single

[Mirrorcle Monster]

So when do you think they will show us the full thing?

You haven't progressed along with Ayu. You and her are not on the same wave length and that's not really anyone's fault, it just means it's time for you to let that part of her career go. Don't go through every new song with the mindset, "oh this doesn't bring out the same emotion in me as Dearest (or whatever) so it's not as good." Because NOTHING she will ever do again will bring out that same emotion. Your connection to her older music will never be the same because she has moved on. And if you're still there waiting for the second coming of the magnificent CREA era, nothing she does from then on will be good enough.

Well said. Change is the only constant. Sometimes I think fans gotta think again. You may say that AYu's style has changed but truly, it may very well be YOUR style that changed. esp in this era where people become so much more exposed to electronic music as well as other genres.

Lol same here. Even if i have songs that i find the tune rather awkward, there's still that beauty in it. Maybe im just that kind of person.
