I just hope they aint gonna be slow or ballad like, i don't like those types of songs, i think her album rock n roll circus had far too many ballads on it :( , hopefully they will be fast and catchy

Crossroad isn't kinda ballad-y, aforementioned "It sounds ok" as in not ":/ eh It does suck."

Thanks for the link, LoBFCanti! You're right; the song is okay, not bad, but it doesn't jump out at me quite right. Hopefully my feelings change when the full version comes out. I am very interested in 'L' as well. But dang. She's releasing new songs so quickly! At this rate, there'll be another album coming out at the start of new year...

There are 4 albums that have been released on Jan 1. This is song she does purposely and I'm sure she'll continue to do. I know how you meant it, but her actually doing that won't surprise any of us.

Wait, GUILTY was released on the 1/1/2008? Damn, I have to stop mixing up the actual date with the time frame which the album leaked...

ANYWAY, song preview is boring but the melody is quite...interesting? Maybe i'm fooling myself. Looking forward to that triple a-side instead.

And news about the music video

[TRANS] 100828 Jejung to Appear in Ayumi Hamasaki's Music Video
>> Saturday, August 28, 2010



It was announced on the 27th that Tohoshinki's Jejung will be participate in Ayumi Hamasaki's single "crossroad" which is going to be on sale on 9/22. He will be making an appearance in the PV (promotional video/music video) of the song "Blossom" that was already released in July. The music video will be included in the DVD of "crossroad".

This will be Ayumi's 85th music video and this will also mark the first time ever that she doesn't appear in her music video. She says, "If I appear in the music video by myself, I might be "talking" way too much," thus making an offer to her friend Jejung who has also started his activities as an actor. "crossroad" will be challenging the record of having the most number of singles ranked first on the Oricon chart that Matsuda Seiko created 22 years ago with 24 singles; and Ayu trusts Jejung in helping her with that challenge.

-Information on the single omitted-


From Ayumi Hamasaki's official website:


Beside the video clip and making clip of "crossroad", the DVD will also include the video clip of "blossom"!
For the first time ever, Ayu won't make an appearance in her on-the-spot music video*, and the super popular aritst Jejung will be making an appearance instead!
This is a must-see video clip with realistic acting that will make you cry!!
*On-the-spot music video: music video starred actors/actresses instead of animation or CG

T/N: Just before everyone gets confused, this single is called "crossroad" and "Blossom" is one of the songs in the single. The song "Blossom" was already released in July with another single, but they decided to include it again in this single, together with a video clip for the song.
