[Official Message] New Single 16 December 2009 - You were.../BALLAD

[koumori]

Uhh guys, stop complaining about the titles? Sheesh, you haven't even heard a second of the songs yet and already you're writing them off. It's depressing to read. Would you rather she released nothing? No? Then PLEASE be more optimistic! xD

I think "Audience" is pretty obvious too.

As usual, there is no single coming out on that day that will be much competition for her. However, Namie is releasing an album on the same day which I find interesting considering Avex has to know that there is quite a bit of cross over between their fans.

How can you guys judge it yet! you haven't even heard it yet! for all we know they could be up-tempo! stop whining! if you're fans of Ayu, just WAIT! for gods sake, I'm so sick of the complaining! Of course the titles are weird, but you tend to run out of words after like 10 years! sheesh

No, they're ballads. The site announced this as a "Double Ballad single." >.>

Shhhh.

I wonder if this'll end up selling as much as Days/GREEN? Here's hoping that people are attracted enough to the songs!

ballad's aren't always slow. Miss you and Trust you by Yuna Ito are ballads, and they're not slow. i dont see why everyone was like "WOOHOO RULE / SPARKLE! YAY GREEN/DAYS" then all of a sudden "Sunrise/Sunset ~Love is all~?! you were / ballad? this sounds fake! this is bad"
why speak crap about ayu if you dont even know what her new single is about? what the **** is so wrong with a ****ing ballad?

girl needs a chill pill.

If it's uptempo, it's not a ballad. the songs you describe are what we call "midtempo" and it can full well be one of those. there's nothing WRONG with ti being a ballad, some Ayu fans are just too picky. Plus, an avex artist JUST used BALLAD a month ago, it's weird for Ayu to be using it too so soon.

dont go just listen to rock bands lol.

I happen to love Ayu's rock style, and I DO listen to rock bands. But when Ayu makes a rock song, it just makes me love her even more.

I think of myself as TA, even though I'm not, because I love Ayu, and I figure that's all that's really required right?

Well said, that's how I feel.

what im trying to say is, why the hell are you judging it already without even hearing the songs. it makes me sick. and i dont need a chill pill.

I think that shows how much attention she pays to other artists' releases on the same label, haha. She probably could care less that someone else had the title.

I wonder what the motivation behind it was though. Interviews soon, maybe? Or a TeamAyu entry?

I didn't ONCE judge these songs, the board did, I was merely informing you that they were both confirmed ballads. Where do you get off attacking ME directly.

The ONLY gripe I have with the titles is what I said. Only a month ago, alan released "BALLAD~Namonaki Koi no Uta~" and Ayu decides to use the title BALLAD. That's it. I happen to love the titles thank you very much.

Pfft lol I guess you're right. Tohoshinki has been pretty popular and she said she just discovered them despite being in their label.

I thought maybe Avex would have been No No No for naming it BALLAD, but at the same time alan is so low-key to the extent that probably no one will even notice (except for AHS members xD).

lmao, i never directed it at you, i meant the ones critisizing every single little detail about Ayu that they don't like.
i.e "I don't like her fish-lips" "that has a bad cover" "that title is stupid" "that didn't have enough sales"

people need to realize she can't be perfect!

You used a second person pronoun, "you" so it was pretty easy to get confused.

But I agree with you to an extent, people need to learn they're not always gonna be pleased and make a HUGE deal about it, but pepole also deserve to complain if they don't like something. They have the right to say whatever the heck they want really

Exactly my point
It just seems that they are never happy anymore, even Ayu must be trying harder then ever to excel. You know?

^ I think the problem is more like Ayu is trying too hard...

[shineestar]

im glad its a ballad..releasing around christmas time (:
but sadly theres no gifts for non team-ayu members *\sigh
