I'm sure it's the guitar but fated, to be, is an emotional (half)rock ballad. For some reason I only get mid-tempo ballad from MOON and Missing.

I wouldn't mind something quiet during the verses, and then exploding during the chorus, like Free & Easy or HANABI ~episode II~.
Last links, call, and Letter are actually rock tracks. MY ALL, I think, would be filed under disco- or teen-pop. But the others are actually pop-rock. I also have to say that fated and MOON are pop-rock.

I would love something like Free&Easy or HANABI ~episode II~ again, something with big power, epic, not so smooth like her recent songs. I'd love to hear something like what we heard back on I am... / RAINBOW. But I'm not sure if, based on the last 10 years, we'll ever get songs like those again. We can always dream though, right?

Also, totally just dawned on me, but I wonder if the speedy release of sixxxxxx means we won't get a new album next year? Ayu usually pushes out back-to-back releases like this when she doesn't make plans to release a new album for over a year... I know it's a mini-, but this is still only three or four songs from being a full album.
