Oh wow, so the new single is announced already!! I did not even know, so thank you for starting this thread.
I like the name "Crossroad"...it's like a crossroads in Ayu's career.
I'm not going to listen to this preview, I want a better and longer version first. I hope this song is as nostalgic/old-school Ayu as everyone else says it sounds.
*excitement is building*

My favourite aspect of the preview is the drum beat. Really digging it. Its almost reminds of don't look back's beat.

The preview sounds good, not awesome, but nice. I can't wait to hear more.

I agree. Plus releasing in a less quite week could also mean the songs would receive less attention.

As for crossroad, I love what I hear so far and can't wait to hear the whole song~

That's exactly it! I find this happens a lot with fans, and not just of Ayu. Like, if something doesn't get enough publicity, everyone gets worried or annoyed. And if something gets too much publicity, everyone gets... well, worried or annoyed.

I love both new and old ayu and i think what's she's doing is finding a middle ground which is cool!
I cant get enough of the chaku uta but im gunna stop listening to it so i dont spoil the joy when i get my single XP
But I agree! I love how she's making something with an older feel with her newer, more mature voice. I've always loved hearing her old songs sung now, because her voice has changed over the years. I think it suits the name, as well, since it's kind of like a crossroads--the old style with a new voice. I don't know if I'm explaining it right, though. ^^;

When I get previews, I only listen once or twice, sometimes not even that. I always wait until I get my albums before I listen to anything on them~ (except for maybe the singles, which may have leaked or I may have bought before hand). I find the surprise and excitement to be worth it in the end! But it's always hard listening to the songs in full, because I want to skip through and find out what everything sounds like! XD;

You explained it right i understood what you meant XP
I really hope crossroad and the 50th will recieve at least more publicity than Moon/blossom!

and there is still hope that ayu will do another 2A side single, so we will see what song will cw with this, and i believe it will be rockish song, or maybe another cutesy rock song like STEP you
Yeah, agreed. I liked it at first listen but it does get better the more you play it. It seems to be a grower that said, unless it's a Double-A (which more than likely it is) it'll make promo a bit more crucial for this single because the public (and some Ayu fans) may need more time to get a "feel" for this track. I'm quite eager to hear the full of this even more so than when I first heard the chaku uta of MOON.

Even so I still feel this way:

It's sound too nostalgic for me. As blossom sound for me from 2003/2004 this sounds for me like 1999' a bit. Her voice is nice, but it sounds for me a little boring. I hope the second track will kick head~ It definitely sounds like a filler in album, Replace, Honey, Beatiful Day even. But those songs sounds very good for me as they were just a fillertracks in album.

I knew there had to be some other subconscious thing making me cringe at the word "crossroad"...

This !

I didn't listen to the preview, and I'm getting more and more curious with all your comments, it is either boring or excellent XD
But I'm kinda hoping the other song (since it's almost sure there will be at least two songs, isn't it ?) will be a real upbeat song, I need another Sparkle or t2m !

:/ Um....I don't feel good about her upcoming album based on the single(s) so far. I didn't feel MOON/blossom and I am SURE not feeling crossroads. All my favorite Japanese artists have gone to pits lately IMO (of course), and I was hoping Ayu wouldn't disappoint.....boooooooo. But I know most people probably will like this sound, so I understand it.
