Crossroad 49th Single Speculation Thread I

[JackieRos]

I missed alot, new song? daaang

[ayumisrael]

Maybe the single will be another a-side and one of the songs will be up-beat.

Or she just keeps the up-beat songs to the 50th single because they tend to do less good but commercially a 50th single is something big so it should be better promoted/commercialed. It might not be like that, just an assumption.

being mature doesn't always mean having to make serious songs though. and I think you can still be adult and make upbeat songs.

I didn't say upbeat songs were immature...Just that I like the direction she is currently taking Those were two separate sentences.

Even though I love Ayu's rock songs, we don't have to forgot it's ayu we are talking about.. she is famous by her ballads, most of her songs are ballads! so it's normal she does a lot of them if most of her fans want those...

For the preview, as everyone says, it's like listening the old ayu with nowadays voice~ I like the preview... sometimes is nice to have a pleasant song, that just makes you feel good, and calm~

[2Hurt]

I'm not liking it so far... but I like the name atleast..

[perfectodub]

i like it!...
is like a mix of different styles.... "YOU-style" coupled with "Moments-style"

[ayufan-]

OOh i am so exited for the full song. I think it is a great song, from what i can hear. the name ''crossroad'' is in my opinion nice.

I totally agree with you~

Preview sounds nice =)

I hope the b-side for Crossroad will be rockish, and that her 50th single will contain re-sung versions of all my favs haha! =P

I disagree. There's definitely an equal part of pop, rock, and ballads in her discography.

Very A Song For XX album sounding XD

[ohsixthirty]

i kind of like the preview.

although, it gives me a sort of "anthem" vibe, like independent or born to be.

[love in music]

From 2008-end of 2009 (before the release of YW/B) we had a very small amount of new ballads.. and the ones we did get could be much better in my opinion, I felt ballad deprived, but now I think she's making up for it and I am very happy about that. I am craving a new upbeat pop song like STEP you too though, so I hope one will be on this next single or the 50th.

[primavera♥]

Finally listened..... I love it so far.....abd finallyi can understand ASFXX comparison (I love those album tracks)
But I feel the song is still its own...I love it...once again a ballad that's easy to listen to again.
And I love her voice in this preview

[maikaru]

On Twitter, it said that Komuro Tetsuya has composed crossroad~

[Kazeyomi]

what, new song already? Lol I didn't expected this

anyway I've listened to the preview and what kind of song is this?
Ok, that's just a 40 sec. very low quality preview but it sounds so.. bland to me :|
I agree with most of you though. It reminds me a lot ASFXX era songs.

Thanks for the info! Same one who composed A Song is born, right? That's the only other one he did for her too if I recall correctly.

She's doing a 3 month release project. So you shouldn't be surprised at the fact she has a new song already lol.

[AyUta]

It sounds alright, like I said. I'm sure it'll be better in full, it doesn't sound that bad.
