Reason I said that is because I thought everyone else loved those songs. I just have a horrible feeling that we're not done with those songs yet.
Yes, its like in those 3 songs specifically, the exact same instruments with just a slightly different arrangement. If she's gonna do one of those songs for L, even though I don't much care for it, I'd rather it sound like Humming 7/4 since that song is a "let's do this together!POWA!" song but it doesn't song like the others.

Well, i've said it like a hundred times, but I LOVE AYU'S ROCK. it's one of the main reasons im a huge fan of her. i'm always looking forward for her rock releases.

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... )
I couldn't have said it better myself. It's established that crossroads is gonna be a be a ballad, but I hope the second song is a rock song.
