^Your going to have to live with that title because it's official. What's wrong with the title You were... anyway? I see nothing wrong with it at all.

Wow, 2nd thread already. What was there to talk about really? XD

I don't have any opinions on the titles, if anything, they don't really affect my feelings towards the songs themselves. Although conversations between a fan and a non-fan would be pretty awkward.

Fan: Hey, did you know, Ayumi has a new song called You were...
Non-fan: ...
Fan: ...
Non-fan: You were...what?
Fan: Oh, just 'You were..."
Non-fan: ?!

or the other one:

Fan: Ayumi has a new song! BALLAD!
Non-fan: Oh cool, what's it called?
Fan: BALLAD! =D
Non-fan: okay, so it's gonna be a ballad. What's the name of this ballad song?
Fan: BALLAD?

Thats the only think you actually know as I can see. Complaining, thats it.
You should be happy she is releasing something, and support her, and not care about things that are not your business...

^kumori, that was so funny !!

i don't understand why people complain on the titles. You were ... it's pretty!! and BALLAD is something strange, but not bad at all!! at least, it's not "ai no uta" (most generic song eveeer)

(Maybe we should also stop talk about the complaining itself?)

As for me the titles are interesting as I wonder how the songs will actually sound.
ayu wins in the ballads department imo so it's less worrying when she is going to release a ballad. I really can't wait for the single, ugh. -_-

Oh well, at least it will be released 5 days after my bday. XD

@Mirrorcle - Exactly. If it weren't for people saying that alan just released a song called BALLAD, I wouldn't have even known. I would have thought, what a strange choice for a song, but hey, it's Ayu so I'm sure it'll be great!

I'm really excited about this single, I think Ayu's ballads are mostly great! And I think the titles are ok, especially You were... sounds really pretty. I think RED LINE is pretty nice one too. BALLAD may not be the most creative title, but that's ok for me as long as the song is good.

I wonder what the covers will look like... I hope something pretty and wintery.

GUESS?
Maybe?
Who knows?
...
All potential titles.
See the whole title thing really doesn't bother me. Ayu puts out quality ballads, so I have complete faith in her on this. And it's great to have some fun with it.
