Mirror - Either a full song or something like Not yet
(don't) Leave me alone - The title screams "emo ballad!" to me but I guess it might be a rock song.
GUILTY - This one could be a ballad maybe, to take a break (and introduce) the ballads to come. Oh wait, I change my mind. GUILTY's gonna be a mix of rock and ballad.
Marionette -prelude- - Needless to say, a prelude to Marionette.
Marionette - A part of me says it'll be like alterna, a funky rock song in disguise as a rant towards Avex. HOWEVER, another part of me tells me that Ayu's gonna toy with the concept of Marionette, and perhaps use it as a theme among fated, Together When... and Marionette.
The Judgment Day - Btw, Judgment is the US spelling and judgement is the UK spelling. Anyway, TJD could very well be an interlude or maybe another rock song to end all the emoness in the album.
MY ALL - To continue on from glitter, I'm guess MY ALL will be another cute song. Something like HONEY.
reBiRTH - Maybe this will be next Startin' or winding road. An upbeat inspirational song for us emo teens.
untitled ~for her~ - This could be really mellow like Secret, or perhaps she would end GUILTY on a rock note, or anything basically. I'm not sure only on this one.
In any case, I'm soooo hyped up for this album! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I like this. It's detailed to why you think what is expected from each track.
However, knowing Ayumi, she's gonna pull fast ones on us. I would say that the ones to look out for are ALL her album tracks, as stuff like "In the Corner" and "until that Day..." threw me off.
If anything, my predictions are...
Mirror- This seems like an evolution between "Catcher in the Light" and "Not yet". I have a feeling that it'll be harmonious, and sum up the whole album in this one track.
(don't) Leave me alone - the use of parentheses makes the title more interesting -especially over (miss)understood- as it really has meaning with or without the "don't". If she's aiming with it, then it seems like it'll be as strong as "is this LOVE?", a power ballad. Without it, may be something even stronger.
GUILTY - Besides "Marionette", the most interesting sounding song. Guilt could be taken in many ways, but the most common is sorrow. Will she aim for sorrow, or pull something out of her cheetah dress and take a whole new spin on it? I don't want to say aynthing on this track, as it seems like a very ambiguous titile.
Marionette -prelude- - It seems like a WONDERLAND to me. Although it makes me consider that this'll be an instrumental that can be played by itself with its own meaning, yet still add to Marionette when played with it.
Marionette -
noun. A jointed puppet manipulated from above by strings or wires attached to its limbs. Yes, it does exhume "alterna". However, this brings into consideration what I said for the prelude. WONDERLAND like theme? May be composed by CREA as a WONDERLAND part II kind of feel?
The Judgement Day - Unless extremely necessary, I do not see this as an instrumental. Of course, this seems really rock-esque, but how the lyrics will reflect it will make this song interesting.
MY ALL - Following "glitter", it's really something I expect to be like "Beautiful Day". The exception is that I think the lyrics will be somewhat sad like "glitter", and the music would reflect "fairyland"s PV (Start out really happy, then turn out sad and dark).
reBiRTH - Interesting title, that's for sure. What to expect, I don't know. I would say may be a "walking proud" or "RAINBOW" like song. But this one is another ambiguous title...
untitled ~for her~ - As people mentioned, it seems either like "Secret" or "Memorial address". I think that this song will be something even more powerful than "Memorial address", but have a softer feel than "Secret". Hopefully, she has it sung like "Together when..", where her voice really reflected the sorrow.
Overall, this seems like a "reBiRTH" in her own sense, and a fresh start to her third chapter. This album will most likely have that overall themed feel like "I am...", which makes me very excited. I would say potential for an easy 750K.
