You were... / BALLAD information and covers [VI]

[thesilentspeaker]

LOVE the HQ version! <3 !! it sounds so emotional!! *tears*

[Ayu_Ready]

Gorgeous ! can't wait for the clip ><

[Maemi]

After listening to it after a couple of times... I really like it. The refren is very nice, and when I heard it for the first time I wasn't impressed at all and I even thought that I might not like it. Even though this isn't the whole HQ song, it's enough for me to judge it.

The only and weird I don't like - Ayu's voice. To me seems like she's straining and it's frustrating. The music is very beautiful, even though it's nothing new from her discography.

Yes, it's quite the universal question, isn't it?
It actually sounded better to me in LQ than HQ... I just couldn't get any emotion from the song, it has become a bit flat to me. But then again, I'm not feeling too well right now so my opinion may change when I feel better.
And c'mon guys, this is AHS! The forum where we go off-topic, discuss and argue constantly, I don't complain over getting different people's views all the time despite them being different from mine. I actually like that about this forum, it always keeps things so interesting (as long as it doesn't go out of line, of course)
I hope I'll wake up to a full song leak of the song(s) tomorrow. Wishful thinking, but tomorrow's such a good day, I'm free from school then!

[Crystal_Ageha]

She's not screaming. I actually really like her vocals here! I like the song much more now that I can hear it clearly. ^.^ The chorus has grown on me extremely--I love it!! Verses still need a little more time on me, though. Overall, yeah, it is her best ballade in a while, but I still don't think it can touch Dearest.

[JackieRos]

screaming you say?
i think is because shes so emotional in this song

[adantatu2]

I like it!!!
ayu is back

[hidekirby]

Thank you so much Luna !
Better in HQ, I'll definitely love it ! Better than Curtain call and Days (I'm not a fan of them). The song in itself is not really original, but it certainly has its own feeling. I'm looking forward to listening to the full song !

Normally I'd be all over a new leak, but I feel like waiting for the full single to come out before seeing/hearing anything. thanks for the rip though.

Same sentiments! Listening to the preview over and over again for the past songs spoils my anticipation for, and the novelty of the full HQ versions.

Yep, that's why I've only listened to it twice and have deleted the file. I'll wait till the PV airs to hear it more and give my opinion.

[Max_ZZZ]

IN HQ IT'S SICK
but ya her voice... i feel like her tone doesn't need to be that low sometimes

[ハート〜ブレーカ♥]

It sounds a tad... uhm... boring...
It doesn't seem like something new, the way she did Sparkle and RULE..

[Crystal_Ageha]

It's hard to do something too new with a ballade, though. Especially just a regular winter pop ballade. :\ Ballades are just kinda boring in general, lol.

[nanakopy87]

this isn't the complete song right?some part is like being cut off.
But the song is ok.sad song.but the chorus melody there is repeated for at least 3 times.which makes it quite boring,IMO.
but overall is a nice song

[TITANIC]

after hearing You were... few times. im getting bored with that. I expected Epic ballad like Dearest HEAVEN or forgiveness.
this is kind of NWTS rock ballad. but 1 thing I like is her voice getting better and better.
this song is hard to sing

[behwatch]

Where is the screaming??? I dont hear any... Anyway the song is sugoii. makes me cry Lolz. anyone cry listening to it?

It sounds similar to Days type of emotions.

[se7entheaven]

It's a very strong ballad indeed Nice one

[kuri♥ayu]

thanks for the hq i love it even more~ i don't feel that she's screaming though.
