Ayu:"Today's PV shoot went off without a hitch~!!
But... from my hair & face all the way down my body, I had real diamonds all over me, sparkly sparkly... but diamonds are stones after all, so it felt more like rough-rough than sparkly-sparkly. lol
So anyway, that's how that was~. Look forward to it!☆" (From Deli)

Other

- Ayu has been in the recording studio. Said that she cried for the emotion of the song. Since one PV has been shoot we can understand that one song (You were...) has been fully recorded now.

Lyrics

You were...

Japanese from TA
すれ違う恋人達が 肩を寄せ合い歩いてく
冷たさが身に染みるのは 君が居ないから
季節さえ忘れる位 他に何もいらない位
そう夢中で輝いたのは 恋をしていたから
君が最後のひとだと思った
君と最後の恋をしたかった
こんな広い夜空の下ひとり
一体何を想えばいいの…。

Romaji by Deli
surechigau koibito tachi ga kata yoseai aruiteku
tsumetasa ga mi ni shimiru no wa kimi ga inai kara
kisetsu sae wasureru kurai hoka ni nani mo iranai kurai
sou muchuu de kagayaita no wa koi wo shiteita kara
kimi ga saigo no hito da to omotta
kimi to saigo no koi wo shitakatta
konna hiroi yozora no shita hitori
ittai nani wo omoebaii no...


Translation from Keiichi_JPU
The lovers passing by one another, walking while letting their shoulders draw closer.
The cold is piercing me, because you are not here.
If even the seasons are forgotten, then there is nothing left anywhere.
I was in trance and shining bright, because I loved you.
I thought you were the last person.
With you I was in love for the last time.
Under this vast night sky, alone..
It is fine if I think about anything.. right?


Translation from Deli
The lovers pass by each other and bump shoulders as they walk
The cold is so piercing because you're not here
If it gets to the point that the season can be forgotten, then that's the point where there's nothing left
That which shined so bright in my dreams was the act of loving you, so
I thought you were the last person
I wanted my last love to be with you
Alone under such a vast night sky
What in the world am I supposed to think...?


BALLAD

Romaji from Deli / jpopdream
yume no tochuu de mezameta matsuge ga nureteita
oboeteta kotoba wa "onegai ikanai de"
kesshite kawaranai no wa tsunotte yuku kono omoi
itsumo yuruganai no wa uyamai shitau kimochi
kyou no yuuyake sora wa anata no you ni yasashikute
konda wa yume ja nai to sakebimashita "ikanai de"


Translation from Deli
I woke up in the middle of a dream, and my eyelashes were wet
I remembered the words, "please don't go"
What I can't erase or change is this feeling getting worse
What I can never shake is the feeling of yearning for your adoration
Today's sunset sky is as gentle as you
That time, it wasn't a dream, that cry of "don't go."


Translation from Maikaru
I woke up in the middle of a dream, eyelashes wet.
The words I remember are "Please, dont go."
The thing that never changes is the strengthening/worsening of these thoughts.
The thing that never wavers is these feelings of undying respect (have no idea to translate 敬い慕う in english, so I chose that one.)
Today's sunset sky is gentle like you,
It's not a dream now, I cried out. "Don't go."


Translation from Keiichi JPU
I woke up in the middle of a dream, my eyelashes were wet.
The words I remember were "Please, don't go"
The things that never change, they invite these thoughts to me..
The thing that never trembles, is this feeling that yearns for respect.
Today's sunset sky, it is just as tender as you are.
This time the words that are shouted aren't a dream: "Don't go!"

Exactly


Anyway. I was thinking about You Were... at first I was imagining smth like Together When... that would be amazing Because I wouldn't like smth like Fated or JEWEL for this winter even though I wouldn't complain. So I'd prefer smth like Together When.../TO BE/End Roll/HAPPY ENDING

I'm starting to get really pumped for this single! >3< The more people talk about it and stuff...

Her hair is really nice in that picture~! Where she's had light hair for a while it might've been too drastic to go too dark? But it's definitely a nice shade! (Even if the lighting might be making a little different.)

For the covers, I want Ayu to use her real hair! She's been using a lot of hair pieces lately, right? I think it'd be nice if it was a simple cover with her natural hair and a relaxed expression... Ah, but the covers were probably talked about a lot in the other threads, huh? ^^;

The way I see it, the time table's going to go like this:

WEEK OF NOV1-7:
We'll start hearing about the cover shoot and PV plans on Ayu's blog
WEEK OF NOV8-14:
The PVs will likely be shot this week, at the very end of this week or the start of the next one, we'll get the covers.
WEEK OF NOV15-21:
PVs are off to be edited, we'll get previews of the songs via ringtones, at least one of the songs will leak(most likely You were...) to the Jpopmafia, and maybe surface here. Ayu may begin rehearsal for the CDL.
WEEK OF NOV22-28:
More CDL rehearsal for Ayu, we'll get news clips involving one or both of the PVs
WEEK OF NOV29-DEC5:
We'll get the first PV aired on TV, probably "You were..."; If BALLAD is going to leak, this is when it'll happen.
WEEK OF DEC6-DEC12:
Second PV, most likely "BALLAD", is aired on TV
WEEK OF DEC13-19:
Full single likely leaks on Dec.13, Single release Dec. 16.

That's just my predictions anyway

^ That actually sounds pretty accurate.

^^ No, I've really liked a few of her outfits lately, too. Seems like she's changing her style again a bit. Which is good.

And ooooohhh myyy gaaawwwdddd--DARK HAIR FER REALZ!? WHOOOOO!!!! (I agree, it looks more light brown with the lighting, but if SHE personally said it's darker, than I guess it has to be darker, hah. But, are you sure she said BLACK, and not just that it was darker? 'Cause darker doesn't have to mean dark brown or black, it can just be dark blonde, lol. x_x Not that I doubt anybody, just making sure. )

P.S.
LOL at the first two pages, arguing on the TC. I really like True's threads, too, but give JPop a chance.

Technically You were.../BALLAD is already taking longer to leak then Rule or Sunrise did, in terms of time between leak and release. Rule was around two months before the single, and Sunrise a month and a half.
