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 :( |
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
|
*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 |

I kid. |
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. ^_^
|
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
|
i definitely wouldn't mind another JEWEL type song...to me the simplicity makes that song absolutely gorgeous.
|
^ Totally agree. :yes In a way, though, JEWEL actually reminds me of Days....but maybe I'm just crazy. >_>
|
I want this:
You were... -> something like CAROLS BALLAD -> something like untitled ~for her~ RED LINE ~for TA~ -> something like Life |
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
|
Quote:
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 |
I just want to hear the songs already :laugh
|
Quote:
same thing goes for me & more or less everyone else |
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.
|
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.

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. |
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 |
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. Quote:

CAROLS took some getting used to but I warmed up to it. Quote:
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. |

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! |
^^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 |
Quote:
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. |
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.
|
Quote:
I hate Days, so it better not sound like that :no if it sounds anything like HEAVEN or CAROLS I can die happy |
I have learned not to believe anything Ayu says in her diary entries.
|
I hope Ayu won't suck my Christmas...
|
hm hm
xD AHS members and their positive thinking :innocent EDIT: friend's quote Spoiler:
soooo true :yes |
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. |
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. |
^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

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

Together When sounds like another song from her discography; I find that equally bad if not worse, emotion or not. |
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.
Quote:
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 |
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?! |
Quote:
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... |
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!

especially after seeing the results of NEXT LEVEL PVs and how she described them before.. :innocent but we don't lose anything by having faith :yes I mean, her winter ballad singles never dissapoint me! |
^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 |
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? |
Well... this is a winter ballad so I don't really want anything mindblowing. Just something wintery and emotional would make me happy :)

Ayu posted some lyrics for You were.... on her diary:
Quote:

Oo, awesome. Thanks for the update!
And some digitally converted romaji~ haha. Quote:
|
Yeah great news, thanks!
|
Quote:
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 .... |
recording the pv so soon :thud wow
thats so cool cant wait oh great lyrics about lovers *sigh* |
She's ahead of my schedule ._.
|
Quote:
|
I'd rather have something mind blowing than just another winter ballad |
The lovers theme really clicked appears. XD
appears (1999) You were... (2009). koibitotachi. ^^ |
@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. |
Quote:
Its sounds pretty. Hoping for a clearer translation soon. And the full lyrics as well. Can't wait. In love with the song already. |
yay! thanks for the great news, ~angel*ayumi~ :luv2
probably she'll post some random pictures from the "making" like happened with Days/GREEN *_* |
Perhaps Ayumi won't be featured in the Single Covers at all.
|
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). |
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. |
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.
|
Quote:
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. |

|
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...)
And lolll~ at your post, Neme! :lmfao |
I'll try and translate the lyrics that were posted.. *warning: I'm not fluent in English nor Japanese* (lol this should be a fun translation)
Japanese thanks to ~angel*ayumi~ Spoiler:
Romaji thanks to truehappiness Spoiler:
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 |
honestly... maybe the exchangable covers don't feature her? lol i guess anything is possible..
|
Quote:
|
now people are believing the covers wont feature her
when nothing has been confirmed yet |
YAAY for sad ballad :laugh |
Quote:
|
love the lyrics. (thx for translating)
|
ballad it is then xD
:lech !!!! thanks for that :) first part makes me think of appears |
Reminds me of rainy day, tbh.
|
You were... gave me an "appears" + "rainy day" vibe... I mean the lyrics, that's pretty cool~
|
Thanks for the translation! Yeah I was thinking of appears too when I saw the translated lyrics
|
Wow, I love Days. Didn't realize there were so many haters for it. XD
|
Thanks for the lyrics Keiichi_JPU!
I like the way they sound so far... it sounds like a haunting ballad!! |
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. |
honestly it's not whack just because people are assuming... speculation is what a single thread with no information should have

^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 ;) |
^:roflmao
Those lyrics...wow. Sounds promising for sure. Definitely got the appears vibe from them. Thanks for translating~ |
^ LMAO I TOTALLY WANT this picture with KAZUYOSHI'S face
Spoiler:
anyone with the skills of photoshopping please ;) |
^ 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! ^.^ |
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!! |
the lyrics reminds me of appears, M, and POWDER SNOW.
seems it'll be a nice & dark song :yes |

I like this picture by HIJIKA |
^You're totally right!

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. Quote:
|
i love the song already from the lyrics!!
|
@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. |
