You might say "why don't you listen a rock band instead?" well... i already listen to rock/trash/metal bands. However, Ayu's rock is very special. No matter how hard might be her releases, she always puts her own touch in these songs, and even if the sound is dark or hard, it manages to be still feminine and pretty. usually rock songs are associated with big guys with long hair that are screaming and growling and having these aggresive/angry songs. if you look at the surface you might think she doesn't fit this idea. but when she sings songs like these it's like she's saying "i'm small and pretty and cute, but i can be hard and strong and aggresive too" usually these concepts are separated and are not supposed to be "mixed" but i think she challenges these (ridiculous) clichés when she releases a rock song... and that's something i truly love.

Some of ayu's ballads are among my favourites of all time, but with all due respect i think she made too much of them for rnrc. like Picaflor stated before, she already did six in her last cd and honestly i seldom enjoyed them also, her last singe was made of ballads and it seems crossroad is gonna be a ballad too. honestly some novelty in L would be more than welcomed. ( i have a feeling that this single is gonna be awesome though... )
Me too!! I LOVE her rock songs! That would be so awesome if at least one of these new songs was rock.

And, if one of the PVs would be directed by Kouki Tange (the director who did "ourselves", "Because of You", and "alterna"), that would be the best thing ever!

But, whatever happens, I'm sure these next two singles are going to be something special! I'm so excited to see what Ayu has planned!
