Curtain call and Sunset are pretty much of the "same" quality as Days was.

Yeah me too~

[maikaru]

Maybe I'm the only one who will say it...

But I hope one of them sounds a bit like close to you.

[zyoeru]

^ It's possible if she's making one sound like a Christmas song..

[Paparazzi]

man, i really want these covers to leak already. -__-

You're not alone
Close to you is the perfect christmas song ever from her discography lol. I don't know why people hate it D:

Last night I've dreamed You were... and BALLAD songs previews. I can't describe them at all, but You were... was AMAZING and BALLAD pretty generic lol.
I hope to be wrong XD

[aura~]

I really think that it will take a lot of time for the Pv to be aired... maybe a week or two before 16/12

[aura~]

recopilating information here, because all is scattered over several pages....

Ayu: "There's a slightly different approach to these covers than before, and they are good photos that stick to the songs." (from Truehappiness)

You were... PV

Ayu:"Today's PV shoot went off without a hitch~!!
But... from my hair & face all the way down my body, I had real diamonds all over me, sparkly sparkly... but diamonds are stones after all, so it felt more like rough-rough than sparkly-sparkly. lol
So anyway, that's how that was~. Look forward to it!☆" (From Deli)

Other

- Ayu has been in the recording studio. Said that she cried for the emotion of the song. Since one PV has been shoot we can understand that one song (You were...) has been fully recorded now.

すれ違う恋人達が　肩を寄せ合い歩いてく
冷たさが身に染みるのは　君が居ないから
季節さえ忘れる位　他に何もいらない位
そう夢中で輝いたのは　恋をしていたから
君が最後のひとだと思った
君と最後の恋をしたかった
こんな広い夜空の下ひとり
一体何を想えばいいの…。

Romaji by Deli

surechigau koibito tachi ga kata yoseai aruiteku
tsumetasa ga mi ni shimiru no wa kimi ga inai kara
kisetsu sae wasureru kurai hoka ni nani mo iranai kurai
sou muchuu de kagayaita no wa koi wo shiteita kara
kimi ga saigo no hito da to omotta
kimi to saigo no koi wo shitakatta
konna hiroi yozora no shita hitori
ittai nani wo omoebaii no...


Translation from Keiichi_JPU

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?

Translation from Deli

The lovers pass by each other and bump shoulders as they walk
The cold is so piercing because you're not here
If it gets to the point that the season can be forgotten, then that's the point where there's nothing left
That which shined so bright in my dreams was the act of loving you, so
I thought you were the last person
I wanted my last love to be with you
Alone under such a vast night sky
What in the world am I supposed to think...?

BALLAD

Romaji from Deli

yume no tochuu de mezameta matsuge ga nureteita
oboeteta kotoba wa "onegai ikanai de"
kesshite kawaranai no wa tsunotte yuku kono omoi
itsumo yuruganai no wa uyamai shitau kimochi
kyou no yuuyake sora wa anata no you ni yasashikute
konda wa yume ja nai to sakebimashita "ikanai de"

Translation from Deli

I woke up in the middle of a dream, and my eyelashes were wet
I remembered the words, "please don't go"
What I can't erase or change is this feeling getting worse
What I can never shake is the feeling of yearning for your adoration
Today's sunset sky is as gentle as you
That time, it wasn't a dream, that cry of "don't go."

Translation from Maikaru

I woke up in the middle of a dream, eyelashes wet.
The words I remember are "Please, dont go."
The thing that never changes is the strengthening/worsening of these thoughts.
The thing that never wavers is these feelings of undying respect (have no idea to translate 敬い慕う in english, so I chose that one.)
Today's sunset sky is gentle like you,
It's not a dream now, I cried out. "Don't go."

Translation from Keiichi JPU

I woke up in the middle of a dream, my eyelashes were wet.
The words I remember were "Please, don't go"
The things that never change, they invite these thoughts to me..
The thing that never trembles, is this feeling that yearns for respect.
Today's sunset sky, it is just as tender as you are.
This time the words that are shouted aren't a dream: "Don't go!"

Maybe it can be posted in the first page this way... so people can find it easy...

[ハート〜ブレーカ♥]

^ posted that in the first post.

[Max_ZZZ]

honestly no hate but sometimes it's hard to take her crying seriously when it's so frequent! LOL

[Kanzaki]

Sounds rather similar to Jewel/Kanariya.
I'm very excited now. And oh, if it sounds the least bit inspired by Close to you, I don't mind at all

[truehappiness]

honestly no hate but sometimes it's hard to take her crying seriously when it's so frequent! LOL

I think some people are just more prone to crying than others.

I've been compiling all of the information presented so far in my usual posts, so I'm ready to post another!

Close to you is like one of the worst ayu songs ever IMO

It's actually simple and slow but it's still sounds peacefully pretty.

I would recommend Two of us as ayu's worst ballad. It's just not moving...

[Crystal_Ageha]

Aw, I've recently come to like Close to you and Two of us! I used to really dislike them, but they grew on me. After yeeaaarrsss, lol. XP I don't want another one of either of those, though. :\

[maze]

mmh.. Close to You has pretty nice sounds but overall it's kinda boring
I really hope none of the new songs have some similarities to this song =/

and I like Two of Us btw XD

Okay, agree.. but there's just something about Two of us that makes me forget it XD

[Miltonic]

I really can't for these songs to comes the lyrics are awesome!

I agree Two of us is very forgettable :s

I really love lyrics of Close to you...
And the christmas time sounds!!!
Like the bells...
It reminds me of some Chemistry or R&B song... ahaha.
But I really love that song. T_T

[Kazeyomi]

I still hope in a new type of ballad like Curtain Call. I mean it's nice if they will sound like randomballadfromAyudiscography but a new song is more appreciated imo.

[Crystal_Ageha]

^ Yes.

^* Having said I like both those songs, I think BOTH Close to you and Two of us are actually very forgettable, hah. Like, even though I enjoy them now, at this moment I can't think of how exactly either of them sound. XD
