i thought the same, all the 3 songs have horrible titles..what kinda title is BALLAD???

I'm excited anyway 'cause we're gonna have 3 brand new songs

[nanakopy87]

i'm not sure if this is true or not.this is what i get from ayuchina.
it says it will have 3 versions
somemore,he/she said can pre-order today outside the stadium where ayu will held the last performance tonight

[nemesisyume]

well it says on ayus official website that the single would be You were... / BALLAD

[Delirium-Zer0]

The ayuchina post is totally 100% accurate, my friends. The full tracklists are up at TA.

[zyoeru]

Oh God, so the b-side title is real too? XD

[nanakopy87]

i tried to translate this
初回限定封入特典：きせかえジャケット・カード（A）

end up with this
Award inclusion Limited Edition: Kisekae Jacket Card (A)


anyone know what is this?any idea?i don't really believe google translate as the translation they made are kinda lame

[love in music]

SO
EXCITED
OMG.

~FOR TA~ IS SO DAMN TACKY AND STUPID BUT WHATEVER
ayu rarely has b-sides that's pretty cool!
i hope the songs are good.. from the titles they all seem like ballads but idk

[nemesisyume]

this is gonna be one hella expensive winter for me
namie album, ayu single, ayu calendar (well already preordered), NEXT LEVEL tour oh gosh

quite weird that alan just had a song called BALLAD

[Delirium-Zer0]

This was already mentioned in the chat room but it's totally 100% official so I figured I'd post it here.

Thanks to nanakopy (http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95346) for pointing it out ^^

[love in music]

i love the title "You were..." a lot. the other titles i don't care much for.. but yay for a Sunset orchestra version! i don't really like music box versions though.
i'm so glad there are 3 versions again too

[nemesisyume]

this sounds really nice
first when I saw the tracklist copy from ayu china I was like ''looks fake''
but with the full tracklist it looks better.

thanks for the screencap too

[truehappiness]

Oh wow! Thanks for the news!

[ayulove_18]

Wow i didn't think that we would hear or see about a single and the tracklist for awhile, but i'm excited about a new single. I'm hoping for a legit "christmas/winter" feel to this single. I wonder what "RED LINE" is suppose to mean. The only thing i don't like about the tracklist is that we keep getting orchestra version, i would rather have a plan acoustic one myself.

When I see the title for Red Line with TA in it, and then see how she always talks about connection with TA, I can only think about the red thread that is very common to talk about in Japanese, the red thread which connects the fate of people together.

I really don't like title of "BALLAD," it seems like she finally ran out of things to name her songs... which is kind of sad..
But at least we are getting a pretend 3 A side!!!

yeah, i think it should be "red thread" instead of "red line". or ayu has another meaning??
