Usually ayu wouldn't participate in these things since it's "small" for her (I would think) but it's great hahaha =D

She's gonna sing some rock songs obviously.

really don't think of ayumi when I think rock...
Yes she is categorized as a pop artist but no one can deny that she has a lot of rock influence throughout her discography ^^

Btw It's quite rare for a mainstream singer to have succeeded with style influenced heavily by rock (I know she has not done only rock song but maybe 3/4 or at least 2/3 are a pop-rock/soft rock/rock or other rock style)

New rock songs please! Never understood what people categorize as pop-rock and full on rock. I mean, Ayu has had some of the HEAVIEST guitar work in her songs, and down-right badass tunage... so I consider her rock songs some of the best, if not THE best out there.

Well what makes "pop" though? I'm always just confused? Something that's catchy? Something with a distinct melody? Something that's POPULAR? By that definition though, even goth-metal could become "pop" if it were "popular"... Take talkin' 2 myself for example - how the Hell would you consider that "pop" lol. Or Microphone? I mean, what is an example of a purely "ROCK" group/singer? Do you have to be in a group to be considered "rock" ? Food for thought. Many of Ayu's rock/rockish songs you would never hear your average pop artist sing, so just because she is by definition a "pop star" means that anything she puts out is considered pop?

Ugh, I think they meant songs like (d)lma versus something like talkin' 2 myself, where one has rock influences but can still be played commercially and is alot "easier" on the ears than the other type. Other songs that can be classed as pop rock would be About You, Until that day... does that make sense, when you'd compare it to heavier songs like Microphone and such?
I think alot of Ayu's music does lie in the middle, though. She definitely has rok music in her though. I sometimes wish she were part of a band because she CLEARLY is into it and loves it.

That person wasn't discrediting Ayu or anything, so you can take a chill pill.

AHS is seriously overdramatic.

Lol, you need to take a chill pill because this was a serious question! I never understood what makes pure rock 'rock' and when it crosses over into "pop" - nobody can ever explain it to me and this was my chance to put the question out there...

The difference is mainly on the melodic and harmonical level - while also on the instrumental(and dynamic, and structural...), but to a lesser extent. So if you want to understand it you should learn some music theory and it will fall into place by itself, it cannot be explained without priopr knowledge in music theory and some research done by yourself on songs classified into those genres.

^ oh, of course.
I mean her entire secret and guilty albums are heavy rock, but I still think of her as the queen of pop.

This is really cool I hope she'll perform a rock song of hers, but I guess You & Me makes the most sense since it was just released....

And Ayu + the Gazette performing at the same festival = <3

I think its just because she is a pop star... She will always be in that cat. as long as she is making music... I always feel even her hard rock songs still have touches of pop. Still love them though.
