You were... / BALLAD information thread [IV]

[NintendoHTF1242]

*argees with Picaflor* Sunrise / Sunset was quite disappointing ~.~ Sunset could be the worst song to grace this planet (minus criminal). So You know... and BALLAD better be good D:

[amorphose]

^^Sunset was a huge disappointment, but I did think Sunrise was really fun for a while!

I can't wait for this new singleee. ~_~

anyway, I think the covers will be out tomorrow..

[Picaflor 7/4]

if the covers are anything like this then I will be extremely happy. But she said she was covered in jewels *like kanariya I'm guessing* so I doubt it. But those were just so cool covers. people have some serious talent here. some of their stuff is so much better then half of the official stuff ayu puts out there.

OMG THIS.

I loved those covers. <3 If the official ones are as bad as Sunrise / Sunset I definitely will use those ones! haha <3

But, whenever she said that she was covered in jewels, she was talking about one of the music videos, right? Not the covers...

Didn't ayu write that she was covered in diamonds for one of the PVs? (though it doesn't mean she couldn't do it for the covers either).

Also people you should read the post I wrote above, we might not get the covers until Saturday/Sunday, if they are going to upload them on the same pattern (which is usually 3 weeks before the release). =P

Of course it would be great if it would be sooner.^^

[ownsarai]

I hope the covers will be out within the next week! I'm so anxious to see them.
I don't really understand everyone's hate for Sunrise/Sunset. The covers weren't that great but I love both songs equally. I guess it's just me.

me neither . The covers are but I still like the whole single

I'm quite easily satisfied when comes to her material though since I more or less have low expectations for every artiste I support LOL .

As long as she continues to deliver what she's good at , I'm fine with basically anything

lol you're not alone. so many people love that single, including me. i'm over sunrise now since it's not summer but i still listen to sunset, it's beautiful

[ownsarai]

^^Maybe that's a good sign that Ayu won't fall flat in the charts. I hope so anyway.

I always see people on here complaining about how much they hate Sunrise or Sunset, or both. I see no problems with either song. Yes, the melodies are the same, but they have their own feeling to them, hence why I love them both.

the thing is, i see people complaining too but for every one complaint i see like 10 more people saying they love it. but i still think the single is underrated and should have sold a lot more in Japan, even more than glitter/fated

[waterballoon]

You know... I was wondering, could avex be going for a new marketing strategy? That guy's single... ringtones/previews are already up for downloads and all, while none of Ayu's songs have any ringtones or previews.

Could avex just be waiting for this guy's song to... "overplay"? Like so much exposure that people are already sick of it before the single is actually released, while they play the suspense trick for Ayu.

If that would work, then maybe there isn't much to worry about...

I was just thinking this. Sure, the suspense is killing fans, but it's a pretty effective way to hype a song. Though maybe not for non-fans who might just buy the occasional single, so we'll have to see if it works. It would be an interesting experiment.

They seem to be doing that with namie too... no cover nor title (or at least official title XD) nor previews...

it might also backfire. It might be so big and suspenseful and in the end turn out like utter crap. like when david blaine had that magic stunt where he was going to jump off a building or something and in the end it was a bungee cord.
The fans might backlash at the company if the single isn't that good.

[waterballoon]

So we need to pray that the songs are good. *crosses fingers*

It's a gamble...
