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

[Mirai Noah]

I was just thinking that it was time for a single! I'm looking forward to it.

[Ayu_Ready]

3 songs yeaaah =DDD I love the title "you were..." I hope BALLAD won't be a Xmas ballad like days but I'm so glad it's a great news !

[RPGames]

Actually, there IS a pretty small change that Red Line is from CREA. A few months ago she mentioned that amongst the songs they could choose from for the album was a CREA composition. They probably didn't think it was good enough, and maybe save it for B-side because that's unimportant?

[hpg23]

crappy titles again...

have a really bad feeling bout this single, what is she thinking?

[Tom Punks]

I hate the title for BALLAD, mostly because alan JUST did it. @_@ I also hate the title for RED LINE ~for TA~, mostly because of the "~for TA~" part which makes me feel excluded because even though I'm a big fan, I can't join her fanclub. :@ But anyways, that's really nothing compared to how happy I am she's releasing something new. Yaaaaaaay <3 Ayu releasing something near Christmas always makes me REALLY happy.

[Kazeyomi]

Aw I love the titles especially You were...

but I must agree for the TA song :/

thanks for sharing :3

Ok, how many songs does she has already dedicated to fans? AUDIENCE, UNITE!, Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ and now RED LINE ~for TA~?

Get over it, everybody knows already you love them.

This whole thing is getting too cheesy.

[love in music]

Not cranky, just amazed at how someone who used to have the best titles on the industry just has to fail this miserably. Ayu lacking of originality is nothing new, the same pattern repeats again and again (summer single / winter single). That is good if she keeps the same level of quality on her releases, but sorry, NEXT LEVEL was the last decent Ayu release, and this stinks like another Sunrise/Sunset, which in my opinion, should be erased of her discography.

lol @ best titles in the industry, you're joking right?
you haven't even heard snippets of any of the songs, and they're what matter, not the titles. and if you think NL is the last decent release then that's great, because it's less than a year ago, so you should have no shame or anything saying something like that.

sorry but it just seems weird to say that "this stinks like another sunrise/sunset" seriously, wait until you actually hear the songs to say something like that.

I can't believe you can already assume that just by the track listing that was revealed not even a day ago.

[minna]

great news! I love the titles!
I don't know which one I'll buy though XD it'll be the cd+dvd version, but dunno which one
I must decide soon 'cause I want the first press

and obviously TA gets extra surprises ... (T_T)

[ayujarl]

finally news about the coming single!!!

[Maemi]

I just hope there won't be the "BALLAD" Initiate lol

[Miltonic]

This is really awesome news!! I can't for release and I might have to buy all versions of this! The tittles are ok but I just care about how the songs are.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Ooo I love the sound of "You were...", sounds like a continuation of "I am..."! As soon as I saw BALLAD I thought alan and was like Noooo ( ). I hate it when two songs appear around the same time with the same name ( ).

I am...You were! That is so awesome!

When I saw ballad, I immediately thought A BALLADS & alan.

As for RED LINE...I still don't know what that's about.

Regardless, these are extremely out-of-the-park titles.

[relmy]

RED LINE is such a nice title, maybe it's about her RED bracelet, for her friend? But I read in translations somewhere that red thread is something to do with soul mates? I really like that title <3

Yes, the "Red String of Fate" that connects soul mates. I'd love for Ayu to make a song with that as the theme!

But I'm assuming at this moment that RED LINE doesn't have to do with that subject but who knows?

[aloopy]

I'm hoping for a HEAVEN/Jewel kind of ballad. not another Days/Curtain call please.
I'm pretty excited.

anyway, do the sales fall at the beginning of the 2010 oricon charts or at the end of the 2009?
