ain't afraid to die x momentum
THE PLEDGE x part of Me

ain't afraid to die and momentum are so eerily similar that I honestly think Ayu was reading Kyo's lyrics before she wrote this one lol. Same goes for THE PLEDGE and part of Me. A lot of these songs lyrics either compare to the other, as in they're talking about similar things, or it's like they're responding to something said in the other song. I have a whole playlist of Kyo/Ayu songs haha. It's lots of fun~
Wow cool! Thanks

Sometimes I wonder if j-rock artists are musically aware of j-pop artists. I mean here in the western world, it isn't uncommon for the two to mix occasionally. But in Japan you never really hear of a duet with a Rock God and a Pop Princess, do you? (No, Gackt and Ayu singing together doesn't count! Gackt could go either way). Somehow, I feel the contrast between Ayu's sweet high ranged voice and Kyo's growling vocals and large range would be EPIC!

*edit*

I just remembered on Ayu's show she sang with some rock legends like Kiyoharu (sp?) but any hardcore ones?
