Lol seems like people forgot that avex likes to release "suggested titles" at the beginning of every year. I'm sure "BALLAD" was one of them...not like alan owns it or anything anyway. It's not exactly original.

Still, good news. I'll preorder once the covers are out. =)

good luck to ayu

well from what I know , all the major Johnny's releases are all taking place in Nov & so far , I'm not seeing any BIG releases in Dec (other than Namie's 9th album on the same release date as You were ... / BALLAD)

so as long as more promo's done on her part in this new single , things should be fine even though I'm still sore that abingdon boys school's going up against her on that day D:

no chance for them to get #1 now like ever if this keeps up

Cool, finally a track for her fans. ^^ I hope though that "RED LINE" will remain a proper B-side. She hardly has any.

Looking forward to it. ^^ Hope that both ballads will be completely different.

Thanks for the news. ^^

I'm really looking forward to this one. 3 new ballads, that's grand. But December seems so far away! That's 2 months

Things I immediately thought of when I read the title:
You were... = I am... haha. I am... part 2 maybe?
Ballad = kind of bland, but yeah I thought of the alan song
red line ~for ta~ = It's obviously the red thread of fate, someone else already pointed out. It's a recurring theme in Japan it seems. I remember it was in Nana (Manga) and there is a drama series/movie with the title Akai Ito, basically about that red thread as well. Just search for Red string of fate and you're likely to find some info on that one.

A ballad-single? I was hoping for a bit of rock... And I wish the song would just be 'Red line' or "RED LINE" instead of ~for ta~... sounds more weak.... But hopefully the songs are good.. A new single of course is always good

Well it's a winter single after all, but there are 3 songs... so maybe one of them might be rock!

I'd love it if BALLAD had irony in it. <3
Too sad they've already said it's a ballad. T_T

I really hope so... I'm putting my money on 'RED LINE' to be rock.... but.. A good ballad isn't that bad... but real good ballads are rare

let's hope that RED LINE ~for TA~ will be a kick ass tune to balance things out then

anyway having said that , I don't mind if either 1 of the A-side will be a winter rock ballad . That will be ace <3

OMG! I'm so excited now! And they will make me buy all three versions! This is like what she did for days/green, they switch the first title.

Obviously i'll buy A and B cd+dvd versions because of the different covers and making clips... This is sure... But i'll also buy cd only version if I love the cover or it comes with different first press gift. Oh my poor money! Hahaha! Well I only do it for ayu, so...

Anyway, about the red line thing, what others said about the story of fate, etc.. I think they are right but I also thing ayu is making reference of her red bracelet and what it means for her... She talked a lot about this bracelet days ago and TA members (me included xd) send her a lot of emotional messages...

I think it's so nice she makes a song for her fans, and i'm a ta member, but still I find this 'for ta' quite excluding, because not all her fans are in ta... I know she may be refering to ALL her fans, but...

Well, now we have to wait, but i'm really excited about this songs! I hope they will be great! I don't know how will be the ballads, but I feel as RED LINE will be similar to MY ALL!

this time round everyone should put his/her expectations for the covers as low as possible

*points to Sunrise/Sunset as a prime eg.
