Nina Persson from The Cardigans.

Bet nobody knows who she is.

I DON'T think she should get a long "break"!? Memorial address was her break.

I REALLY want a new remix album, perhaps one which includes startin'. Preferably a trance one, (We've probably seen the last of eurobeat + ayu sadly), but something like last year's "Classical" would also be ok.

I also would like to see more of DAI and CREA. They never fail to deliver top songs.

I hope she'll continue to do many different styles, but no more gospel..

On a slightly different matter:
I think the explenation to why we've seen little of CREA is because she's been so happy with the other composers material. She's said earlier that she wrote songs for MY STORY because she knew exactly what she wanted in those spots in the album (the songs she made herself). She's also obiously been more busy with other things, like photoshoots and travelling this year.

Also I am still waiting for Ayu to play guitar in a live since she mentioned last year she was learning the guitar!

ME TOO, i keep wondering what ever happened to the whole guitar playing idea. i really want to see that!

why are people talking about the end of her career?

anyway, BALLADS. & artistic PVs and covers. none of this "good enough" stuff that sets her on the same level as any other j-pop artist.

annnnnnnnnnnnnnd i want her to stop singing the high pitched EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEs. okay thanks.

lol meee too~~

i wanna see her playing the guitar lol! i would like to see maybe a rockin' roll Ayu~

I think AYU will rest and tempo of another releasings will be slower than this crazy year. I hope at the end of next year she'll release another album, however I'm afraid it will be only mini-album like Memorial address.

She's changing style of her music but I hope another releases surprise us new compositions of BOUNCEBACK and her other old composers. I'm not saying that tracks on new album wrote by GEO aren't good but I feel if more songs will be in the same style then AYU will start to be commercial

I don't know. I don't think she'll go back to her old composers. Her style has changed considerably since H/\L, BOUNCEBACK, etc so I think next year we shall see either more of GEO or some other composers.

i disagree.. that's her style.. when i first introduced ayumi to my friends. they were stunned, shocked that those EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEs.. in songs such as CAROLS.. it was very funny though

[Coelacanth]

I don't think we'll see too much of GEO. Maybe a song or two, but I think this was just an experimentation with a foreign composer.

[~*Mabushii*~]

I hope for no more GEO, I woul like to see her take a break for a month or maybe two, get some rest in there.
I would love a world tour.. Heck, even if she just came to a few place in the US I'd be happy but I doubt we'll get that in 2006..

I want more CREA and DAI songs too..

Does anyone else think with her hair dark that sometimes she looks very old?
