If Ayu brought back an A BALLADS cd I just might cry with happiness -- for some reason, AB2 is my favorite compilation/remix album of hers ever -- some of those rearrangements and recut songs are just so... ;~; stunning.

^yeah.. I would love an A BALLAD 2... A BALLAD is great and I love Who.. and A song for XX versions on it, specially ASFXX *-* wo glad she sings that version nowadays ^^

can you imagine some of her recent ballads post AB in a new version?? HEAVEN? walking proud? *-*

Wait, what? Is this a new single or something? That was fast..

This is NOT a new single!!! We might just see it on her 48th single of such, but that's a few months' time, I estimate...

I'm assuming it was a song that she made around the time of Rock'n'Roll Circus' album tracks much like how (m)u and Startin'/Born To Be... were made at the same time. However, the song did not fit into the album or would not have been finished when they needed to have finished it, so she made it a "free chaku uta [chorus only] download" for TeamAyu members to preview.

Nice lyrics..huh then what was the translation truehappiness said before? LOL..was that just a speculation on your part?

Love MOON a lot really..Somehow I find myself loving her mid-tempo tracks on RnRC so now with MOON, it just adds on..

I get a feeling that this year's summer single...maybe come in August

reminds me of Life. sounds like a B-side so far.. =/

It was my own rough translation.

I've been wanting another A BALLADS ever since the first one came out. I just love A BALLADS!

There's no montage during AT10, if I remember correctly. :no

You translated from the 2ch lyrics right? I think there's a couple of small mistakes in the lyrics they posted though. I didn't hear the "と" in the 2nd line, and I don't think it makes sense there grammatically too. And the 5th line is definitely "幸せだよと聞かせて" instead of "幸せだよと笑って". :)

the only way i'd want another a ballad is if ayu remixed tracks again, maybe bring back a new "hal's mix" or something :)

if it's just a ballad compilation with no new versions, i'm not really interested haha.

Good point xD :P

wow
i cant waith for hear this
thanks!!!

It's sooo pretty... I'm still in love with it and there really isn't much of it out lol.

It sounds lovely. ^_^ I can't wait to hear the rest of it!

I actually did it by ear from what very little Japanese I know, haha. I don't know tenses and stuff, but I could get the gist of it.

of course she'd make new versions, or add remixes, or atleast do something new. every compilation has something new, a best has "new mixes", a ballads had rainbow and sotsugyo shashin, both which at the time were new and unreleased, and a ton of remixes (I'm amazed it's not considered a remix album), a best 2 had part of me, which was an unreleased song at the time, a complete had who "chinese version".

anyways, they would have to remix, or add new songs, or do something, if they just took a few ballads, kept them the way they were, and slapped them on a new album, and didn't add anything new, no one would buy it. except for collectors just for the sake of having it and keeping their discography up to date.

but I want an A Ballads 2 too! (or A Rock, that would be a cool compilation album). Ooh crazy idea. you know how remix albums are always released in multiple cds? "ayumix 2, 4 cds. ayumix 6, 2 cds. etc" well it would be awesome if they released a double disk compilation album. The first cd could be "A Ballads 2" and the second could be "A Rock" featuring her rock songs, new mixes, new songs, some edits. that would be so cool.

omg I'd love Ayu forever (well more than now :laugh) for this :thud
I almost pray everyday for A BALLADS 2 ;_; but with a rock compilation would be really really amazing!

When someone said this song sounds like the 90's Ayu I just had to download it. :D Too bad the quality was bad but I think the song sounded interesting. I can't say anything else since it was only a 28 seconds long. I will wait for the full song, if it's ever released. Lyrics sounds beautiful. And for some reason You were began playing in my head after I listened to MOON. :D

Sounds like a good title.
