Ugh, I couldn't agree more. I really don't want a rock song to be the main feature. But I don't want a ballad either. A nice pop song would be nice--you know, from a J-pop artist. ;P

[NintendoHTF1242]

oh god I hate that nasty Microphone remix. Nothx

[SPEAKERnight.]

I thought the Microphone remix was actually pretty good. I can't wait for crossroad and L.

Yeah.. It's not like the rock songs are bad but I'd love if she released more of the Sparkle/Don't look back/Sexy little things/blossom type pop songs. To me, those are perfection wrapped up in 3-5 minutes and I prefer them to her rock songs.

[Picaflor 7/4]

As much as I like her rock songs, She needs to get away from them for a while. With every album, I feel like she is moving farther away from pop and closer to the rock genre. microphone, rule, talkin' 2 myself, guilty, decision. and then there are other songs that have a rock flare to them but aren't really rock like marionette, identity, and last links.

We need more pop. Also, I liked the microphone remix, not amazed by it, and it's no where near my list of top 10 favorite remix songs, but it is pretty good and does compare to the original.

Hmm justthinking randomly, if she has a lot of ballads as the singles that means she wont put many in the album no? I think tha'd be good too, then we get the balladswe love and then awsome upbeat songs for the album

lol, ur not alone

I wouldn't mind a rock song, as long as it isn't like the main feature... I really want another HONEY or STEP you. Hi Ayu you're Queen of J-Pop, not J-Rock

I want for L a rock song, a pop song and a r&b song.
She has already 2 ballads, crossroad and MOON.
r&b is something new for her, but if she does a song like Connected or Sparkle, is ok too

So Ayu, whatcha gonna do? Jazz? Metal? Country? Not a lot of options left, but remember : SATISFY YOUR FANS OR WE'LL BE VEEEEERY ANGRY.

Please understand that this post is a joke. If you didn't, I fear for your sanity.

She's going to go back to her Nothing for Nothing days and comes out with a rap song as the 50th single

Compared to the original, I have to agree. I can't believe some people prefer the remix.

How exactly are Last Links and count down ballads?

both songs are powerful, and slow, and the lyrics seem to form a story about something. That's generally how I differentiate what is a ballad or not. Just because they are rock genre's doesn't mean they can't be ballads.

[truehappiness]

L will have at least one ballad on it...

Kikuchi wrote a ballad for Ayu a month or two ago.

[primavera♥]

Lol nobody prefers her rock songs? I would kill for another total rock single like t2m.
Ayu...ayu...our ayu...didn't for an RnRC interiew she mentioned how she is rock. And apparently she really likes the genre.
I don't see why anyone would even think she would step away from the genre for a while considering she had rock on nearly all of her albums starting from early in her career.

At least I'm a fan of rock and have a lot of appreciation for it especially over the typical jpop song so I don't mind her constant rock songs
And often she brings something different with them. She's good with them. And many jpop artists either don't try or can't pull it off. So I really hope for another one
Plus they can bring awesome dark or sometimes encouraging lyrics

Plus the performances of the rock songs are some of her most powerful and emotional to me so I would love for a new one at the RnRC final

I'm a sucker for her rock songs. And the past three singles not so much rock exactly. So I hope for one on either of these

^____^ (so much rock negativity in one thread is creepy. But what can I say its a bunch of pop fans)

I love her rock songs. I ADORE ROCK. She needs another rock single, like seriously. When was her last rock single anyway? Rule/Sparkle? Feels like it's such a long time ago already with all the ballads she's been churning out. Maybe another exotic-sounding song would do her good too, like INSPIRE or Don't Look Back. Please, anything but more ballads.

[roanmy]

I LOVE her rock songs, and quite frankly I'd love it if the one we know will be a slow song on L turns out like count down!!

I'd also really like something like Microphone, MW, 1 LOVE as b-sides for crossroad, and/or as a song on L. (^_^)

[ILoveGeniuses]

I hope not a ballad... or at least a real slow one like Moon or blossom. We already have those. Still any other genre will be great as all her songs are totally awesome. Still, i would like to hear something more pop-ish that we haven't heard in awhile.

OT: I'm about to murder my ipod....
