Wow, new thread already.
I really hope that the single will have good covers. I want to look at something pretty.

I liked it better as Strobe EdGE :(

:roflmao Lol at the complaining about complaining about complaining.

^ :roflmao before you know it, Ayu will complain about Nintendo complaining about people complaining about the people complaining about the titles. In the end the math = ALOT OF COMPLAINING! lmao

when I think You were... / BALLAD I keep thinking the covers = cream / white and GREEN / Days sort of look! lolll
that would be awesome, those were my favorite covers and my favorite single <33
BTW: Is she performing the single in her concert when it's released? Or is it just being sold? :)

I wont even try to complain. You were... I have nothing to say about. Its a very "Ayu-ish" title.
But let me put it this way. When alan came with the single BALLAD I just thought "LOL, that is just lame. Why even not try to give it a more fitting name?" Then a couple of months ago Ayu does the same thing. Now my thought isnt only "Why BALLAD its lame isnt it?" but its also "Wow, not even a year after alan...? Amazing." Not that Im complaining. Ayu can name her songs that she feels makes them best. BALLAD as a name can say so much but also so little in the same while. I think Ayu meant it to be the more powerful side of the title. But I will probably just think the same way I first did... :P

Second thread already? Wow! :P

I wonder what "RED LINE" means...

Been gone for a bit :) Nice to come back to a new single ^.^

i guess technically ballad could also mean "story", so if that's the case i guess it's a little creative... haha

but tbh, i hope there is no sign of white/cream/beige on the covers o_O.

i'd rather a dark color scheme, or at least a darker background. something that isn't flesh tones would be nice... haha

i don't think ayu is copying from alan. honestly, she probably doesn't even know who she is lol

they've met, iirc, a-nation last year.

but not the point lol. I doubt Ayu was aware of BALLAD~Namonaki Koi no Uta~. Even if she did, she doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would care and change the name of her song because of it.

hahahaha yeah

"You were..." Part two of "It was", perhaps? :) Just a thought!

I'm so looking forward to the Music Box version. I looove those! I seriously hope these single covers are gorgeous.

That would be neat, if it were part two. But I highly doubt it....And I'm glad it won't be, since I don't like It was. At all. :X

finally! A new single!

alan's BALLAD was only following the title of the movie in the first place. So...I'm Ayu wasn't like.."Ok that's a nice title...now i'll write a song about it"

YES!!!

finally... someone who agrees, It was was soooo bad. The only song that ruined that album for me

But ya... I really don't care how they sound as long as I can feel Christmas through them LOL

i'm still laughing at how her new ballad is called BALLAD LOL! but honestly it doesn't mean I'm judging it or whatver but how can you not see the humour in that?? But... it will never top Are you wake up yet? '-___-

lol BALLAD may sound like a cheesy title, but I think it's fine, CAROLS didn't bother me...but then again I wasn't here in 2005

And next, she will release her trip-A:

We are...
He is...
She will be...

^ Then her album:

I will be
He will be
She will be
It will be
They will be
