So the single isn't released this week? (since it didn't leak yet)
Then probably just the pre-order sites already ship their orders before and this week isn't the double week. XD
Tomorrow if ayu's single won't chart then it will 100% say that it's not out yet. ^^

songs that are neither fast nor very slow, something like GREEN for example, that would be a mid-tempo ballad

The status of the item in my CDJapan order still says "Processed" in other words the single isn't going to be out a week early, as if it were it would've been shipped by now

that "one line" should be reading something similar to the lyrics page of Memorial address

"The author does not wish to disclose the lyrics of this song"... or something like that. (:

And mid-tempo songs... would be like Life or Moments. Both are Tetsuya Yukumi's compositions as well, so I guess he likes them ballads mid-tempo.

omg momentum would be perfect... one of my favorite winter songs

and I don't think RED LINE would be a happy song like MY ALL cos I read from somewhere in this forum (forgot where exactly), that RED LINE isn't a dedication song to TA, it's a song about her friend who passed away whom she wrote about in her diary entries, and how they wore red bracelets or something.

So it should be quite a sad song...

After seeing Namie's first week sales, my hopes for this single's sales dropped considerably. >.<

What does namie's album sales has to do with ayu's single's sales though? XD

And I'm glad that the double week and ayu's singles will be next week. She will 100% get #1 since kanjani8's 2nd + 3rd weeks are lower than ayu's 1st day sales. XD (specially when their singles are limited).
So yeah, no threat for ayu.

Alot. If Namie sells good, alot of buyers might buy her album rather than this single. Also many people can't afford both, and might go for Namie instead because of the hype and good sales.
Of course all hardcore fans will buy Ayu's music anyways, but the target is always to get those maybe-people to buy it (just like in politics with undecided voters), to always reach more people. hardcore Ayu fans will buy anything she makes.

I highly doubt it.
There are a lot of times where the both the album and singles of the same week are doing great, either with the album or single of the same week are great success.
The recent week for instance, namie's first week didn't hurt at all at masaharu fukuyama's first week single sales which was pretty great.
Even BoA's single kept on selling better than BoA usually does (I mean it outsold all of her own recent singles even if it wasn't a smashing seller itself) and namie's album didn't make more people than usual to lose interest in BoA's single and buy namie's album instead. So if what you say would be true it would mean that the maximum of the maximum BoA's single should sell like it usually what do with no more than the usual interest in her singles because those people would prefer buying namie's album.
And ayu's single will be released on Namie's album's 3rd week out so even more.
If a lot of casual listeners liked You were... & BALLAD or highly just one of them they will buy it.
The ringtone of You were... does really well on the recochoku legal downloads on the charts by far. It should do fine.

I hope someone will kindly record it and upload hehe ^^

Even if the single should leak in 5-6 days. xD

I'm really interested to hear how it sounds.
