Also, how is this a ballad? Maybe my definition of ballad is limited but this just sounds mid-tempo not mid-tempo "ballad" but whatever. And even though I don't really like this track I'd take it over Last Links (her most generic, unoriginal and underwhelming song to date in my book) any time any day. /end crankiness.

Japanese people loooove genericness though. Her interesting stuff always flies over their heads and she's basically got to cater to her main audience. It's lame that the alternas and such always get such a cold shoulder from Japanese people, but that's life.

(I love this song and Last Links soooooooooo, lol. They both have nice melodies and strong messages imo.)

It seems to me like you tend to stray away from simple-sounding songs, haha. How are you when it comes to Life and Curtain call?

This song is a ballad in the sense that it basically is an ~emotional love song~ of some sort, I think.

The most common use of the term ballad in modern pop music is for an emotional love song.[32] When the word ballad appears in the title of a song, as for example in The Beatles's "The Ballad of John and Yoko" or Billy Joel's "The Ballad of Billy the Kid", the folk-music sense is generally implied. Ballad is also sometimes applied to strophic story-songs more generally, such as Don McLean's "American Pie".[33]

"Let me give you a gentle song for you to believe in forever and ever.. I just want to see your smile once again, yadda yadda..."

Typical Japanese ballad-y lyrics. The song is probably a lot better in full, but I dunno how people will feel about it since accounting for personal taste is just.. I don't even know.
