I'm pretty excited.

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

How are Days and Curtain call alike? Lol. I never could fully force myself to really enjoy Curtain call.

I'm not saying they sound alike. I just don't want that the new songs sound like anything that could have been on NEXT LEVEL.
And since the new songs are ballads I mentioned Days/Curtain call. So I hope the songs don't sound like either of those two, because I dislike both

[kirei_ayumi]

great news! can't wait to hear them all

[ayuinh.k?]

i hope we don't get the same photographer again whose name is too long to type..a leslie kee comeback would be nice..i still remember the chaos from the s/s covers T____T

[amorphose]

Yay! Finally a new single!

This is so funny because just last Saturday I posted an update on Twitter that I was willing Ayumi to make a new single announcement with in the next two weeks! HAH!

[Maemi]

I don't understand once again what's wrong with the title "RED LINE ~For TA~". I mean, she's getting some extra cash from TA, they deserve a song. Who cares as long as it's good.

[amorphose]

Are people seriously upset about the ~for TA~ subtitle? I'm not in Team Ayu but I'm flattered at the inclusion of that subtitle anyway... I think that means it's for her fans in general, not just those in Team Ayu-- and that's wonderful to me.

[hearted]

ooooh cant wait!!!!!

[panda♥]

can't believe i just noticed this post.

can't wait to see what Ayu has come up with, i'm sure it'll be an awesome Winter ballad. :3

[mi|kshake]

Can't wait for a winter PV!

I wonder if Red Line is getting a PV - perhaps it will be included on the album?

mi|kshake~

[GRACE]

I don't think "~for TA~" means "~STRICTLY for TA MEMBERS WHO PAY THE FINE EVERY YEAR AND ARE IN JAPAN~"

I think of myself as TA, even though I'm not, because I love Ayu, and I figure that's all that's really required right?

[do it again]

since RED LINE ~for TA~ is listed on the official tracklist for the single, i think it will be included on all versions and not just special TA version of the single. by TA she probably just means TeamAyu as in her team, her fans, etc, not the name of the fanclub.

i hope one of the ballads will be a dramatic ballad with beautiful arrangement... her recent ballads don't really convey the same emotion that they used to.

[ayumisrael]

Or dedicating to TA is just simpler than dedicating to media fire (RED LINE ~for MF~)
(my fans). I bet no one would understand what MF stands for without the whole TA idea.



Btw I just noticed, it's going to be like Days/GREEN (just with less versions)

CD+DVD version 1

01. You were... (Original mix)
02. BALLAD (Original mix)

CD+DVD version 2

01. BALLAD (Original mix)
02. You were... (Original mix)

CD only

01. You were... (Original mix)
02. BALLAD (Original mix)

So You were... is aimed to be the Days and main A-side.

[GRACE]

as long as it sounds nothing like Days, that's cool with me :3

[IYFreak]

I just hope it sounds nothing like Curtain Call, as long as it doesn't sound like that, I know it'll be great..........just why....december.......so far away......

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I haven't followed Ayu long enough to know if she did it before but in the GUILTY era she changed hairstyles considerably for each single, so I wonder what she will look like for this one... I want her to go brunette again!

Not gonna happen.

I want that too. I personally detest her ash-brown hair color that she always has (ever since post GUILTY- excluding a few blonde moments lol).

Go brunnette ayu!

[Bigtop]

I'm just wondering...is there any other releases on this date (singles, albums, and just to be curious, DVDs) besides Ayu's new single?

[Mari-chan]

Ohh.. thats sounds good. Hope there will be a beautiful Winterballad.
Can't wait, until it will be released.

[jean-baptiste]

i dont know why everyones assuming both songs will be ballads.

when you think about it both have the potential to be kinda upbeat.

when i first saw the title You were..., i didnt think of TW... or It was... i thought of until that day... but i guess thats just me.

You were could be an angry goodbye song. and BALLAD could be a "this ain't a love song" type thing.

im pretty sure one of them is a ballad (cuz wintr) but i doubt both are (at least i hope).

i imagine Red Line as a MY ALL type song though...
