I will die of happiness if there is any jazz influence! SLT is one of her most innovative song. I would like her to take that direction, something she hasn't really done. :yes

Jazz? :luv2 I hope it will be Smoke, Eyes, Magic or a cup of tea!

Nearly Witches has grown to be one of my fave P!ATD songs <3 Would love to see Ayu go that way.

PLEASE NO CHILDREN SINGING :weep :weep :weep

yeah, I love that song too! <3 (sorry for offtopix)

I second that! :thud

OMG LMAO

To me singing children always bring this to mind


children voices start around 2:55

and with this:


children voices start around 3:25

such classics!

I also like it when that girl said "Welcome to Best Fiction" during Namie's concert, got nothing against children :p

It seems to be VERY easy for most western artists.

I find ALL of ayus albums to be conceptual though.

Actually singing children aren't that bad, if they will gonna use them well.
AND she haven't any real singing children in her songs, they're just in her PVs :shrug maybe in song of a nation '03 but I'm not sure.

2 my favs :love

though I don't want to see ayu messing with children :laugh Beloved was enough

First sing I thought of when I read singing children was kiss o' kill.

Oh, also I don't wanna see/hear children in her new PVs/songs. Who the hell cares about them, she's had enough already!

PS we can pass on the jazz please, unless it's very minor.

I would take children singing over anything similar to that God-awful Sexy little things.

As far as jazz, I am unsure. I love "feel" by Koda Kumi and "Do the motion" by BoA, but I don't know how I would take a jazz-influenced Ayu song.

I love Pride, does that count as children singing? I think she performed it once with children...

She performed it with an Adult & Children choir.

Same here. That sort of singing worked very well for that song! Children singing doesn't bother me as long as it blends well with the song.

Ayu + Children in GENERAL isn't anything new. She's used plenty of them in her PVs, since at least LOVEppears era...

Yeah, I mean look at beloved.

I'm pretty sure whatever that song will be, it'll be very interesting. I'd be surprised if it was for a rock song or something though.

I'd love it if she did another anime PV like Connected. The animation is amazing, just wish they didn't reuse scenes so often...but if they could fix that (unlikely after Namie's Dr still did it...) I would he delighted to see an anime Ayu PV :)
