New singles crossroad 9/22 and 「L」 9/29 2nd & 3rd parts of 3 single project [II]

^ When it comes to the things she writes about I could agree that she is running out of ideas, as too many (but not all) of the latest singles were just plain love songs and it's been like that for a while, the album tracks were refreshing, but there was nothing that really stood out for me, lyrically. I think that she just needs to start finding inspiration in new things.

You're a pure genius! And I didn't know someone with YUI's English skills could actually ADD some NEW words to the English language that became so extremely popular. Could it be that YUI is a Britney fan girl and that she loved the movie Crossroads?

Let's see what Wiki says about crossroad in Music:

* "Cross Road Blues", a blues song by Robert Johnson
* Crossroads (album) by Tracy Chapman

* Crossroads, the first single from the above album

* Cross Road, a 1994 compilation album by Bon Jovi
* Crossroads (box set) by Eric Clapton or its sequel, Crossroads 2: Live in the Seventies (box set)
* Crossroads Guitar Festival, a three-day blues and rock concert arranged by Eric Clapton
* "Tha Crossroads", a Grammy Award winning single by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony
o "Crossroads", a 2002 UK number one single from Blazin' Squad based on the above
* Crossroads (Don McLean song), from the album American Pie
* Crossroads (LL Cool song), from the album 14 Shots to the Dome
* "Crossroads (Avenged Sevenfold song), a single b-side by Avenged Sevenfold
* Crossroads (Sylver album), a 2006 album by Belgian band Sylver

As for LIFE, you really have to be dumb to even think that YUI was the first one ever to name a song that way. There are so many LIFE(s) in jpop that I don't even know where to start ^^ Why would someone like Ayu "copy" or imitate someone like YUI when there are so many famous people to copy~

Why do people constantly have to post nonsense about song titles and copying. It's not as if YUI titled song Goodbye my hair ~ LIFE is NOT COOL ~ and then someone else gave their own song exactly the same title. We're talking about very common words here. Do you realize how stupid it seems to even suggest something like that?

I keep thinking about what she said in that one interview (can't remember the exact time, around RAINBOW, maybe) that she was angsty that if she'd go on continuing this way of life that she would someday be forced to create something out of nothing. I think she's arrived there and tries to hold up as good as she can.
