I think she can totally surpass Days, since every other ballad ever did a good job at it =/...

Just my opinion, Days was FABULOUS lyrics set to a generic pop ballad, it was a shame :(

love in music 5th November 2009 03:29 AM

i think she can surpass Days for sure. Days was soo happy/sweet sounding. i am hoping these ballads are more emotional. i prefer her emotional ballads over the sweet ones

tokyoxjapanxfan 5th November 2009 03:33 AM

*sigh* i wish ayu wasn't so slow with releasing covers :-\

or maybe i'm just comparing her to kuu, who's just extremely fast with releasing covers xD

meh, i wanna see at least a hint of what they look like :P

Don't ruin your Christmas mood so soon. :P

I kid.

Crystal_Ageha 5th November 2009 04:53 AM

For me, I don't think she can make a better ballade than Days, either. Not right now. I really like that song. I only like a few ballades better than Days. ^_^

douggn 5th November 2009 04:57 AM

I think with the poster beeing free and the price change is more like the poster is free from avex but yesasia postal charge for it isnt, I cant wait to see the covers :P

futureLOVE 5th November 2009 05:03 AM

i definitely wouldn't mind another JEWEL type song...to me the simplicity makes that song absolutely gorgeous.

Crystal_Ageha 5th November 2009 05:20 AM

^ Totally agree. :yes In a way, though, JEWEL actually reminds me of Days....but maybe I'm just crazy. >_>

maze 5th November 2009 05:26 AM

I want this:

You were... -> something like CAROLS
BALLAD -> something like untitled ~for her~
RED LINE ~for TA~ -> something like Life

ownsarai 5th November 2009 05:44 AM

I do want another CAROLS/JEWEL/Days type of ballad. I love all of them to pieces. I could die happy if she makes another epic ballad like these. :yes

100% agree with you

i don't like days melody and arrangement at all, but the lyrics are sooooo beautiful :heart

I expect also an epic, deeply emotional song like identity said... in the line Heaven, will... criminal or jewel :luv2 :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

njanjayrp 5th November 2009 07:40 AM

Imo, even though Days had really good lyrics, the production was a failure compared to any of her previous ballads, the arrangement was obviously really generic and simple sounding and can't come even close to HEAVEN, JEWEL, No way to say or Together When... in other words I don't want another Days (even though I do like the song) not now, not ever.

norain 5th November 2009 07:47 AM

I think Days is a great song that adds into her collection of ballads. Sure it's not the distinct different sounding Heaven or the Beautiful piano that is Jewel. But it's a generic cute song that is still very nice to listen to. It's not bad. It's not the best but it is still a nice addition to her ballad songs.

I can totally agrre on that with you^^

It's a very nice addiction and I thin it would be boring if there would be only those "high-class" ballads.

It was a cute christmas song.

That's the same thing Kumi does with stay with me imo.

Delirium-Zer0 5th November 2009 08:24 AM

I'm hoping for this:

You were... -> something like Far away
BALLAD -> something like Together When...
RED LINE ~for TA~ -> something like AUDIENCE

But I'm expecting this:

You were... -> something like Days
BALLAD -> something like Curtain Call
RED LINE ~for TA~ -> something like Humming 7/4

Because I'm not totally happy with any of those songs, and that's the kind of luck I have. XD

truehappiness 5th November 2009 08:42 AM

Considering how recent Days/Curtain call are, it probably makes more sense to think those are up ahead...

Maybe she should at least tell us who will compose/arrange, haha. -sigh-

According to ayuangel's latest entry, she has already shot the covers and says something like "There's a slightly different approach to these covers than before, and that they are good photos that stick to the songs." Maybe it means less photoshopping? Or NO MORE KAZUYOSHI?

Maybe we should wait for a different translation, haha.

Les photos pour les covers aussi, on a fait une approche légèrement différente de ce qu'on a fait jusqu'à présent... je crois que ce sont de bonnes photos, qui collent bien aux musiques ♪

HEAVEN just seemed uneventful after all my anticipation for it. I never thought it was absolutely to die-for - but it is a nice song :)
CAROLS took some getting used to but I warmed up to it.

Normally I prefer the big winter synths and all the cheerful sounds, but I must say that when I first heard JEWEL, I was blown away (I waited til I got my CD on X'mas to watch the pv/listen to the song). It seriously is a 'gem' and beautifully done. Much more simple, but sooo epic.

I'm happy to see so many Days lovers, but I also see the Days dislikers/haters, Lol.

I feel like the main arguement from people is that Days is "too generic" or "to 'mainstream'" - like it really was commercial and tried to appeal to the public. But seriously, I think it's a really great song and how it kicks in is amazing. I just love it, lol.

yea I just saw the entry at ayuangel. I'm looking forward to this 'different approach'...please let them be good! coz I pre-ordered all 3 version!

devilayu 5th November 2009 10:51 AM

Dozens of OT posts about Ayu's hair has been trashed. PLEASE try to stay on topic. If you want to talk about her hair, go to the thread with the TA translation here: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95744

As for the single, I preordered both of the CD+DVD first presses thru mu-mo with my TeamAyu membership. I'm hoping the fleece will be cute since I'm getting two!

SURREAL__RAINBOW 5th November 2009 10:54 AM

^^uhhh i cant wait to see them!!! :D


I'm still waiting to get some more money so i can purchase the cd only version ;) together with alan's new album :D

Same here.
I wish it whould be pink or so, but um yes, whouldn´t match the colors at the pre-orde page, I guess it will have similar colors as the guilty fleece from the Lucky draw.

Tasked 5th November 2009 11:02 AM

Different approach? I wonder what can be different in terms of covers... But if they're really really good, I'll want to get all three of 'em.

I hate Days, so it better not sound like that :no

if it sounds anything like HEAVEN or CAROLS I can die happy

EDIT: friend's quote

Spoiler:
I don't think Ayu has ever really lied to us in her Diary entries, people just take her words, imagine what THEY want and then when it's something that they didn't imagine, they get disappointed.


soooo true :yes

Yumsushi 5th November 2009 05:31 PM

Nothing like Together When please. I think Together When is Ayu's worst Ballad and I cringe every time she gets to the chorus. It reminds me way too much of No way to say; that's what I call generic.
Days is not half as generic as Together When and is a million times more awesome.

Delirium-Zer0 5th November 2009 05:37 PM

The "different approach" thing probably means still Kazu, but he's trying something unusual for him. Let's hope that's a good thing. It most likely does NOT mean less photoshopping, since that happens at the end of the process really. Most likely, it just means they have a new type of set, a new type of clothing/costume, and/or an actual CONCEPT rather than just "fashion posing." Which would be nice.

I bet it just means she's wearing a different outfit on each of the covers, which when you think about it, isn't something she's done. So there's ALOT that "different approach" could mean - my recommendation is NOT to get your hopes up.

GRACE 5th November 2009 05:40 PM

^I think that's something that should be said about the whole single, imo. Don't get your hopes too high up people, she's not capable of everything anymore lol

Days is generic by definition. Since ANYONE ELSE could have sang it and it would have been just as good, it wasn't uniquely Ayu at all, it sounded like everyone elses winter ballads from a few years ago, really. Together When... had emotion to it, Days was just pretty =/ imo, anyway That's why I'm hoping that these songs are nothing like days

Ayu feels really comfortable with Kazu, so~ hope for the best!

Days does has a pretty simple arrangement so I see why many find it generic, but I would really like to hear other songs similar to Days, can you mention a few?
Together When sounds like another song from her discography; I find that equally bad if not worse, emotion or not.

Crystal_Ageha 5th November 2009 05:59 PM

Hmmm, "different approach"..... Well, I'm not gonna think too much into it. I'll probably get my hopes up for something completely unrealistic and exaggerate the whole thing, lol.

As much as I love Days, this is the perfect way to put it. Like, I can totally imagine Kumi singing. The actual song sounds a lot like some of her ballades, actually. :\

And ugh, please God don't let it sound anything like CAROLS. That's one of the only Ayumi songs where I can almost say I hate it. I tried so many times to like it, but...no. :headache

waterballoon 5th November 2009 06:02 PM

Well, something like Dearest would surely make everyone happy. :)

But whatever... Sunrise and Sunset are still 'good songs' to me, so I'm an easily satisfied boy~ you heard that Ayu?!

Thanks, just my opinion^^

Days definitly was no bad song, but it was not special at all and I do not feel much when listening to it, Together When...though...has that magic in it...

dreamland2.0 5th November 2009 06:47 PM

I totally hope one of them sounds like Together When...!! One of my favourite Ayu ballads, mainly because it has a mysterious quality, which I really like in ballads!! Same reason I like Far Away and Endless Sorrow!

but we don't lose anything by having faith :yes
I mean, her winter ballad singles never dissapoint me!

ayumisrael 5th November 2009 07:15 PM

^How did she describe them?

I remember that she said kazuyoshi made her do silly stuff on Sparkle and that she shot NL and Curtain call in LA. xD


For ballads, a lot of ayu fans have a lot of and diveresed tastes or wishes from ayu regarding her songs and such so it's not surprising that already 4 ballads were mentioned in 1 page. xD

I hope that most will be satisfied anyway even if they are not like No way to say, Days, Dearest or Together When... or go figure what. =P

TeddyGrahams 5th November 2009 07:30 PM

I think days is pretty unique in her discography. I bet some of you will love the song to death if its sung by any other singers with a more powerful voice.

Same goes for Curtain Call, I mean after 10 years and she can still release some completely different sounding ballads than before? That's pretty awesome.

I wonder why so many are expecting something similar to her old songs? Shouldn't we want something completely new? To blow our minds away? If you want another days/together when... etc why not just listen to the old songs instead?

Raleigh 5th November 2009 07:51 PM

Well... this is a winter ballad so I don't really want anything mindblowing. Just something wintery and emotional would make me happy :)

『You were…』
すれ違う恋人達が 肩を寄せ合い歩いてく
冷たさが身に染みるのは 君が居ないから
季節さえ忘れる位 他に何もいらない位
そう夢中で輝いたのは 恋をしていたから

君と最後の恋をしたかった
こんな広い夜空の下ひとり
一体何を想えばいいの…。

from what I understand the song seems nice~ google translation:


Walking shoulder to shoulder patting lovers passing each other
The biting cold that you are absent from
Place long forgotten place does not need anything other seasonal
From winning the shook was so in love
People thought it was the last time you
You wanted to love and last
Under the night sky like one large
What should I想E together ....

nemesisyume 5th November 2009 09:29 PM

I'd rather have something mind blowing than just another winter ballad
that sounds just like together when or Days.
Songs like GREEN, Sparkle and Sunrise help me keep the high hopes up
for ayus songs. maybe her PVs arent as unique, special or weird as they
used to be some years ago but... really they're not that bad.

as long as she stays inspired and happy with her new material I think most
fans will like it too.

I don't think anyone should expect songs like ''ohh I want another together when''
bcos I don't think she wants to make the same songs 20 times.
and even if this winter one or two of the songs wouldnt be the typical winter ballads I'm sure
that most of the people here will still think they're great.

every artist will have a few not so good songs and covers but I think
most of her covers and songs have been a great success.

thanks for reading, this was nemesisyume and now...

koumori 5th November 2009 09:37 PM

@Neme: LOL.

~ Thanks for the lyric posting. Gee I'm excited ^__^ Three ballads though; what comes into my mind is how she's going to make them different..must be a pretty good idea *-*

Also, I think when people say "I want another song like _____", they are referring to the same direction (?). Like, together when was an epic rock kind of ballad, when days was more a gentle thing ... I think they mean more music genre than an exact copy.

Perhaps Ayumi won't be featured in the Single Covers at all.

ayumisrael 5th November 2009 09:55 PM

Well I'm not so sure that she won't be in them.
I mean what's the 1st press with the changeable covers worth then? =P
(and the posters).

hikaricore 5th November 2009 10:17 PM

I think she will...with that jewelryish looking thing in that picture of her with the dark hair...
I think she'll look kinda like Kuu~chan on her "Stay With Me" cover...
But that's what I think...
She'll HAVE to be on the cover...she's been on every one of her single covers.

CoriKaru 5th November 2009 10:25 PM

That's why I proposed the idea, because it actually would be something different. But I guess it would be a waste of new hair and posters and stuff huh. Trash my idea.

i know.. i really am hoping it's her on the covers or else that's kind of a waste. what else would it be, 6 different versions of a drawing? i don't think so! at least i hope not..

and people will complain if the songs are different but also if they are like her other songs. imo people should just be happy if it sounds good, whether it be generic or unique.

how is that slightly different? She already did that with No way to say :thud

Eh, I don't really care what it looks like, as long as it's really pretty, hah. Of course I'd rather have her than a drawing, but whatever. (I really doubt that'll be the case, though. She's never done that before, and I don't think she will...)

The lovers passing by one another, walking while letting their shoulders draw closer.
The cold is piercing me, because you are not here.
If even the seasons are forgotten, then there is nothing left anywhere.
I was in trance and shining bright, because I loved you.
I thought you were the last person.
With you I was in love for the last time.
Under this vast night sky, alone..
It is fine if I think about anything.. right?



Sounds exactly the way I want it to sound! I bit like "it was" maybe. A dark, sad ballad! I need that xD

English
The lovers passing by one another, walking while letting their shoulders draw closer.
The cold is piercing me, because you are not here.
If even the seasons are forgotten, then there is nothing left anywhere.
I was in trance and shining bright, because I loved you.
I thought you were the last person.
With you I was in love for the last time.
Under this vast night sky, alone..
It is fine if I think about anything.. right?



Sounds exactly the way I want it to sound! I bit like "it was" maybe. A dark, sad ballad! I need that xD

Thanks for the translation! Yes sad ballad!

when nothing has been confirmed yet

nemesisyume 6th November 2009 01:39 AM

YAAY for sad ballad :laugh

Woah they sounds pretty different than her latest lyrics.

ayujarl 6th November 2009 01:50 AM

SURREAL__RAINBOW 6th November 2009 01:50 AM

ballad it is then xD

:lech !!!!


thanks for that :)


first part makes me think of appears

NintendoHTF1242 6th November 2009 01:55 AM

Reminds me of rainy day, tbh.

waterballoon 6th November 2009 01:58 AM

You were... gave me an "appears" + "rainy day" vibe... I mean the lyrics, that's pretty cool~

vampireknightzero 6th November 2009 02:04 AM

Thanks for the translation! Yeah I was thinking of appears too when I saw the translated lyrics

lumieregrl 6th November 2009 02:11 AM

Wow, I love Days. Didn't realize there were so many haters for it. XD

dreamland2.0 6th November 2009 02:17 AM

Thanks for the lyrics Keiichi_JPU!
I like the way they sound so far... it sounds like a haunting ballad!!

lividlillies 6th November 2009 03:00 AM

I really love the lyrics so far!! I think I'll really like this song~! >3<

"Under this vast night sky, alone...
It is fine if I think about anything... right?"


As for the covers and her vs a picture: Maybe two of the CDs will have her picture, with one CD with a picture, and two of the changeable covers will have a picture and one will have her picture? Then you'd have three different pictures and three different pictures of her. The designs of the CDs would all be really different, right? I don't know, though. It probably won't be like that at all, XD.

Max_ZZZ 6th November 2009 03:13 AM

honestly it's not whack just because people are assuming... speculation is what a single thread with no information should have

jbrat2219 6th November 2009 05:48 AM

I wouldn't mind if she weren't on the covers, or if it was something like one of Kagrra,'s covers. I love those! :luv2

SURREAL__RAINBOW 6th November 2009 05:56 AM

^omg pretty!!



maybe kazuyoshi finally decided to take ayu's place in her pictures and we will have an epic stay with me looking cover with kazu's sexy sad winter ballad face ;)

ownsarai 6th November 2009 06:30 AM

^:roflmao

Those lyrics...wow. Sounds promising for sure. Definitely got the appears vibe from them. Thanks for translating~

SURREAL__RAINBOW 6th November 2009 06:46 AM

^ LMAO I TOTALLY WANT this picture with KAZUYOSHI'S face




anyone with the skills of photoshopping please ;)

Crystal_Ageha 6th November 2009 07:01 AM

^ I'd do it, but I'm too lazy. XD Somebody else can take credit for the epic-ness, lol.

I was trying to figure out what the lyrics reminded me of, and yeah! That's it--appears! :yes
Oooohhh, I'm suddenly very excited for this song! ^.^

Keiichi_JPU 6th November 2009 07:47 AM

You're welcome everyone~! :)

I really love how the lyrics sound, not cheezy like Days but truly sad.. I'm very excited for this single!!

yuki_unmei 6th November 2009 07:51 AM

the lyrics reminds me of appears, M, and POWDER SNOW.
seems it'll be a nice & dark song :yes

he should work with ayu more often bcos Together when... and all other GUILTY
pictures were really nice :yes

HIJIKA is a good match with ayu but not too much with kuu imo.
just like kaz is good with kuu but not too often with ayu.

the lyrics are so nice this far - I really cant wait for a new sad ballad
never thought I would say that :laugh


asmAyumi1992 6th November 2009 08:22 AM

^You're totally right!

truehappiness 6th November 2009 08:45 AM

It appears that TeamAyu mail has gone out to announce COUNTDOWN LIVE 2009-2010 A as of yesterday. And the lottery for tickets starts on November 9th.

Though it's a little early to make a thread about it, lol.

The message, I think.

love in music 6th November 2009 08:48 AM

i love the song already from the lyrics!!

ownsarai 6th November 2009 08:51 AM

@th - Beginning of December maybe? :P
Reading the lyrics again and again. It really does seem like Ayu is feeling alone lately, if of course, she is putting herself into the lyrics like she usually does.
