Now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind her doing something similar to Malice Mizer's Merveilles. They combined classical and electronic music, and they did it well.

To my honest opinion, I like her studio vocals, so that is not something I worry about. I'm open for everything, J-POP, J-ROCK, etc etc except for too much ballads, sad songs, Urata and JUNO.
I prefer uplifting, happy J-POP atm and happy ballads (lol).

I actually love nearly every single one of those songs you've listed. Some of them are some of the best songs she's ever done...but imo...The Ayu who did songs like those back then...doesn't really do songs like those anymore. They might be similar in formula or structure...but that's it. idk it's just the way her rock songs have been going recently. There aren't THAT many of them though, and they're usually full of feeling and ayu, but the music is subpar to me, and has the general feel of trying too hard, and also, trying to hard to be like songs you listed lol My solution to this was, she needs more diversity in the people she works with... which, I guess, is really the only thing I want from her at all from her future releases. I don't care what she gives us really, as long as she branches out with what she's doing and testing what she can do. random: I still don't get why RnRC gets so much hate. It has the same format of her previous albums, except the songs aren't as good. But none of her songs are "as good" so... oh, and yey for MY STORY love. That album also gets too much hate.

I still don't know why people wants something like RnRC/Next Level. There were a LOT better albums imo (taste is taste) I just don't get it, sorry xD I don't hate any of this album but I have similar opinion about songs like Zeke. I can't stand Love'n'Hate, rollin' was very boring at the begining, identity is only fine because of the chorus...I never listens to NEXT LEVEL, EnergizE is way too chaotic... RnRC? Lady Dynamite is chaotic, boring, and sound like a talking for me (it does have a melody but we know Ayu could do something really catchy...) Don't look back sound like an interlude for me (never liked it, I don't get that hype..) meaning of love is one of the song I don't even remember how it sound like o_O But RnRC compared to NL have more songs that I really enjoyed (even if Last Links and countdown sounds really similar, i like them) - and RnRC got awesum singles (NL got only Sparkle I highly loved) and Microphone/Sexy little things that i adored.
Sorry for offtop again I would love to hear something like letter said, electronic with classic (epic sounds) and I'd love a violin, but PLEASE not it that "Love'n'Hate" way... I just figured how i dislike this song. It's irritating. |

I think it would be amazing to see what a whole album done at once would sound like. It would definitely be a new thing for her and I'm really looking forward to having ALL NEW songs!! I mean, who wouldn't?? I hope we get it shortly after Christmas too.

And with R'n'R, it was just waaaay too hyped. I know Ayu hypes all her releases, but R'n'R was the first time where she really practically told us how her daily duties as far as producing the new album was going, and we got so many pictures from the videos and photos from the shoots. Then it was hailed as Ayu by being something along the lines of "back to basics of Ayumi Hamasaki" and I drew similarities toward MY STORY which is my favorite album. So when it was released and it was nothing at ALL like MY STORY or anything I had come to expect of the album, I wanted to die. But I have told this story so many times, I feel like a broken record. Sorry to all, lol. |

i don't want an album like NEXT LEVEL or RnRC, they were different and good, and i'm expecting something different and good now.
And since there aren't singles, i'm expecting a concept album

I am here to defend Rollin's honor and to second Zeke's disappointment in RnR Circus. That Album almost ended my love for Ayumi. Thank the lord for Love Songs, angioedema cover and all.

Hmm no one is defending Love songs... I wonder why? I think to date, and with the exception of FIVE as well, this is her worst album so far, and I thought RnR was weak...
As for MY STORY, I really loved and still do love it to beats, especially the SACD surround mix. Secret was the first physical release I bought and I pretty much love it all as well, except for 2 songs. As for her three latest releases (NEXT LEVEL, RnR and Love songs) the number of songs I find irritating keeps increasing. So I really hope for a more rock oriented album once again. I am and I can see a lot of other people are starting to feel disconnected by her balads and music in general, so let's hope for a change.

About Love songs defending..well, Is the album I loved the most after (miss)understood, the music ir rougher, her voice sounds more true to my ears and the songs reached me..RnRC rock songs except Microphone where weak imo, involved me 0% that's why I've just listened to the whole album 2 or 3 times and then listened to just a few tracks..but I feel is right to say that is an absurd comparison cause there will always be people loving RnRC and hating Love songs as far as these two albums have a totally different concept..so I believe it's just about taste and personality.

I LOVE Love Songs. it was such a fresh album with awesome arrangements - even her usual cute song had a stellar arrangement! everything was fresh but still so ayu. it's one of my fave albums actually.

Love Songs is the kind of album I like because its cherent, but it sounds pretty boring to me....
Mostly because there's no really upbeat stuff in it that isn't cheesy. RnRC is cheesy but fun, it brought back my Ayu love after losing it in 09 with AT and NL. |

I actually seriously wonder if she's trying to transition into just a ballad singer.

It will never make sense for me to tell anyone why they shouldn't like a song or album just because I don't enjoy it.
