Composers/arrangers of You were... / BALLAD!
 

We tend to stick news like this in another post, so... (It'll be in the other thread though just to keep things organized.)

I'm surprised that there's another DAI track. I wonder who did RED LINE then, hmmm.

Interesting to note that the teams that worked on Curtain call and NEXT LEVEL respectively are working on these songs and flipflopped arrangers.

i believe red line is written by ayu herself :D

Well, she did listen to a crapton of demos when looking for RED LINE... which makes me doubt that she actually composed it.

We'll see, but I'm happy there's a DAI composition. Hopefully it's not some old one since DAI hasn't exactly been composing for anyone lately.

if red line is CREA's work i'll die happy :D :luv2

thanks for the info tip off :thumbsup

The last DAI composition was NEXT LEVEL...and I didn't really like that song. Hopefully BALLAD will be a much better song.

Great news, great news.

But they pump me up so much and the single isn't even a month away. -_-

Oh ! god ! D.A.I ! i love all his stuffs ! something like End Roll'll be great ^^!

I'm pretty familiar with what DAI and HAL have worked on in the past but can anybody tell me some of the stuff that Kazuhiro Hara and Yuta Nakano have done? Yuta Nakano sounds familiar to me, but Kazuhiro Hara doesn't.

Kazuhiro Hara:

Step you
startin'
born to be
criminal
marionette
glitter
sparkle

I like all of the songs except for glitter

Kazuhiro Hara compositions:

STEP you
criminal
Startin'
Born To Be…
glitter
Marionette
Sparkle
Curtain call

Yuta Nakano Arrangements:

HEAVEN (With KZB)
rainy day
Mirror
Mirrorcle World
decision
Marionette –prelude-
Life
Bridge to the sky
identity
LOVE 'n' HATE
Curtain call
Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~

I think NEXT LEVEL was a leftover from the sessions they had in 2006 for BLUE BIRD. It fits in with that single pretty well anyway, haha.

Thx for this one! Helps out my mind a bit more. Haha. XD
Im really interested in how Kazuhiro will pull of a ballad since he mostly did great upbeat songs! criminal and Marionette are both very dark ballads (that are so so soooo great) so the only happy-ish ballad he have done for Ayu is Curtain Call. Cant waitt to hear all the songs! And cant wait to see who made RED LINE. (Or maybe they will keep it a secret?) :P

DAI: Fly High, Trauma, Boys & Girls, TO BE, End Roll, too late, monochrome, Ever free, Far away, AUDIENCE, SEASONS, teddy bear, Daybreak, Dearest, no more words, Flower Garden, WE WISH, Real Me, Free & Easy, Hanabi, july 1st, Theme of a-nation ’03, Voyage, Independent, +, RAINBOW, Hanabi ~episode II~, Forgiveness, Will, BLUE BIRD, NEXT LEVEL

OMG!!! I hope it will have nothing to do with NEXT LEVEL but yes with songs like End roll, teddy bear, seasons, dearest, no more words, free & easy, HANABI, RAINBOW, Forgiveness... *-* I'm really excited with this single now!!!

Same composers *yawn* Oh well, I'm sure the songs will turn out alright.

i love Kazuhiro Hara
