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

[nemesisyume]

I don't think you can trust the NINKI too much
Mirrorcle World was quite low compared to others and it sold really well.

[freedreamer]

Well even though a High NINKI doesnt guarantee high sales..but having a low NINKI isnt really very reassuring..
Im kinda surprised..MW did well because..it is afterall her 10th anni...i dunno wad to expect now..

[inspire_rmx]

i love this single. just hope that it will sell over 150,000copies ^^ definitely deserve more than sunrise/sunset

Then you can take Bold & Declious/Pride as an example.
Its NINKI was higher than most of the recent single's NINKIs but except for talkin' 2 myself all of the other singles were more successful.

[rakeru]

I can't see it selling over 150k when I look at her most recent releases. I sincerely hope that S/S was a minor fluke like t2m or B&D, because You were.../BALLAD has two quality songs with interesting PVs and good covers. That doesn't mean it'll sell well, but it should mean that it sells better than the most recent releases. *crosses fingers*

[njanjayrp]

The preview of RED LINE sounds nothing like Replace and MY ALL. The beat totally reminds me of Daybreak (as it's just faster) <3 So yeah, it's a song that would fit I am...

[polka-dot-jewel]

lol Oh NINKI. I haven't trusted it since t2m, which was quite high and well... we all remember those sales :/ At least she's a lot higher than everyone else.

I love the HQ preview of RED LINE. I'm really hoping she'll sing it at CDL next week!

*sigh*

S/S wasn't a fluke at all.
It did better than Days/GREEN digitally which did nice itself, it can't be called a fluke.

talkin' 2 myself might be the only one that is a fluke.
Even if we know that the japanese public didn't like the fact that B&D exist, I'm sure that it was released a month before (m)u helped it fluke, but yeah the public not liking B&D decreased it even more. =P

Me neither, but I think some peoples hoped RED LINE would be her composing since it's for TA. Like to make it more personal or smth..

I like the kind of tune RED LINE has from what I hear in the pw. Very nice

[freedreamer]

After hearing the REAL previews for RED LINE, Sunset ~orchestra~ and You were... (music box)
gosh, im LOVING what I hear so far. Everything sounds great..I think I can put this single on loop and not get sick of it.

[ayumisrael]

Yes, it's a very promising single!

Really really strong. ^-^ I'm glad ayu made it.
