nope for me, still didn't like him,a bit irritating when he's the first appeared in the PV :grumpy

i watch again and i notice that when Shuya is coma and in his own world (in the grass field) for him, Ayu had died in the accident,because the earlier scene we can see that they focuse on Ayu's helmet (hers is white and Shuya's black) that fell and spinning on the road.and then when he knows that cat-mailman is himself,they show Ayu's on the road watching Shuya lying unconcious.why the cat-mailman,maybe it symbolize the death cos i assume that those cats had died because shuya hit them :tipsy

well,that's all i wanna say,others are the same like you guys have interpreted it :P

Takahide Ishii. The one who directed momentum, part of Me, Days, Together When... (all her awesome plot ballad PVs imo)..
another reason why I think it's him who directed this one not just because it is a ballad, is because he loves to include twists in his stories. So yea.

i see..i just didn't know his name and yes2 :yes:yes like i said in my post earlier i'm sure that he's the one who directed this PV cos he's the one that Ayu discuss with about Shuya's scene with the mailbox in the BALLAD PV preview.i'm sure it's him.

WOW.. just... WOW!!

want HQ!!! >.<!!

OH Ayu, this single is awesome!! OMG!!! This PV.. everything has been said, I agree with the interpretations here... It's common that when someone is in comma the doctors say to their family to talk to him, they say that it helps, you know, what they say to you can reach the patiens mind in someway... (shuya get's them like letters ^^)

Shuya is great in this PV, not overdramatinc or sth... i'm not shuya hater soo... xd the plot is awesome, it's a lot like Days, until the versy end we don't know what's happening there... but also (how to say it) the direction of the PV, the backgraund, special effects, all seems just AWESOME!! and with HQ it will be even better!!!

Just noticed XD it's just an idea that came to me now, and maybe it's stupid...

Days = AyuxShuya (shuya has a motorbike) ---> BALLAD = AyuxShuya (they are together and go with the motorbike) Maybe it's like... a second part of Days XDD Not a second part, but maybe they wanted to follow Days situation and characters... mmmm

AYU!<333 SHUYA!<333 BALLAD PV!!!<333

i'm not sure if someone had post this in other post :P,here's the Youtube link,better quality,

That, and also time. Days doesn't have as many clocks as BALLAD, but time looked like one of the factors in that PV too. Like the difference when Ayu woke up at 6.01 AM and 8.01 AM, the earlier was interpreted as a dream, maybe it's also like, what if she was earlier? She would've been the girl that would ride on Shuya's bike.

If it is Takahide Ishii that directed BALLAD's pv, that I must say, he probably favours this AyuxShuya pairing. XD This is the second time he used it.

How can no-one have posted You were... live? Or is it just me that missed something?

it has been posted already in HD version in Youtube,here's the link,

Luna62 has post this link in Ayu Schedule #3 thread. full credits goes to the uploader.so thanx to them! i'm happy ^ ^

jUST saw the live, I think I'll post here. I really think..it's a terribly diffuclt song to sing...O.O I love how she ended it..I loved the second verse..
Her vibrato was very strong in the first verse and it'll take some time to get use..but we know that when it comes to songs with light instrumental portions, Ayu tends to go all the way with her vibrato..so yea.
The chorus was sooo sharp though.
Despite this, I'm still glad she wasnt offtune..emotions definitely were coming through from her..but gosh, ITS SO HARD TO SING THAT SONG!!

this's late but I just seen the BALLAD PV

I think it's nice but the CG effects between ayumi x Shuya when they were on the bike is just o_O

but other than that , the PV's great & the setting's just so :luv2 & let's not forget just how great ayumi looked in there *___*

AyuWorld @ I saw it there, I was just wondering that it wasn't in this thread ^^ Thank you (;

Currently uploading it to the download section :yes

ya.it look difficult for her to sing.she's almost breathless when singing chorus :(

She is to adding emotion effect by making it look hard to sing. If you can control your diaphragm, the song is not hard to sing.

Seems she just changed to a new Sony Mic WRT-867. When I just bought her old mic. Lol.

This! My thought exactly!

I LOVE You were... song, but I don't like the PV.

I LOVE BALLAD PV, but the song isn't as great... Not that I dislike it, I just don't like it as much as You were...

I like the way she sing in this song! IMO it make this song more powerful and emotional

btw totally in love with this single :)

Great PV!
This is the best Ayu PV in a long time.
Shuya and Ayu both look good. I just have a problem with blonde Shuya, cause blonde hair doesn't suite him at all.
And I'm so glad there isn't overdramatic acting from both, Ayu and Shuya.
It's pretty as it is.
But i'm loving the song now.
I still dislike You were... though.

The live of You were... is alright.
She's on tune, but there are still some parts where her voice sounds pretty weak. But it's a hard song to sing for her.
Overall ok.

this is impressive! so many fans are appeased!

I love the Ballad PV. But I like You were... PV and song much better.

SIIICK BALLAD PV FTW
