globe have lost their popularity, but am I the only one who thinks TK should NEVER do pop or ballads, and just do dance/trance/club music forever? That's the only stuff of his that I ever REALLY liked, so i like globe's newer stuff alot...
my opinion on DAT is that... well... i like misono's voice ALOT more than Kaori Mochida's. I've NEVER liked Kaori's voice very much. She sounds like she's trying to sing falsetto but with power at the same time (which is impossible unless you're an opera singer), and she can't hit notes without gradually going up to them, which always bothered me (of course, the vocals in Fundamental Love probably screwed me up forever, she sounds so awful there). Misono has better control than kaori and i find her less frustrating to listen to.
H/\L? Yeah, i miss them. Some really good songs.
Oh, and one more thing... no one on the avex label is trying to replace anyone, okay? Each group is their own. Chances are if ELT or ayu ever fade, it'll be because that style is no longer fashionable, and no group will be able to replace them by using a similar formula. If something fades, why would you replace it with something that's the same?? No one will buy it. That's really bad business strategy. If a group forms, they form because they want to, and that's the style they want to do. It usually has nothing to do with the higher-ups at avex. DAT isn't replacing ELT, nor are any other female-fronted groups like Do As Infinity, The Brilliant Green... there are plenty of others (like Dreams Come True, who were the original ELT-formula type group). They're all just groups of people playing the music they wanna play.
