idk if it's better than Dearest yet, i'll wait for the full HQ to judge that but i do have to say it has a much stronger chorus than Dearest. not hating on Dearest, i think it's a very nice song, just a bit overrated.

i really want to wait to hear the full version, and not mess it up by listening to the clip. but aaargh, the suspense is doing bad things to me.

I agree with this statement
I also think you were sounds much more happier sounding than dearest or Together When... they're more melancholic.
That's what I hope BALLAD will sound like though, more dark.

thank you for the preview! I like it, not "love" it just yet, but i think it'll grow on me.
the verses are amazing! they're even more amazing than the chorus IMHO
then again I'm gonna have to wait until the full HQ version comes out, which isn't likely gonna come soon.
but thank you very much for the preview!

P.S
this song will be very hard to be performed live

In my opinion, a lot of Ayu's older ballads are overrated. M included. They're all nice and they're classics, but I never listen to them. I prefer the likes of HEAVEN, Together When..., JEWEL, No way to say etc. To me, they are FAR superior to Dearest and even M (which I don't really even consider a ballad to be honest so maybe that's why). You were... is shaping up to be what I consider one of Ayu's best ballads.

ahh..i just love this ballad. when i see the cover it's like a new brand of Ayu and then with this preview it makes me sure that this is going to be different from her previous song,

like the chorus and Ayu's vocal is great.love it how she sing in a high pitch.
i just can imagine how she'd perform You were live as tears dwelling in her eyes

M and Dearest are untouchable imo. But I don't expect post-Memorial adress ayu to sound like anything pre-Ma. On the contrary however, it reminds me of powder snow.

You were... sounds ok so far. I prefer her less melodramatic ballads like Days...

I agree mostly, but I do think M is incredible
Are you sure you've given it a proper listen? It's a brilliant song imho

About You were..., I only allowed myself to listen to the first verse and chorus ONCE, and this is what I think:

I think M is great, and I'm sure a large majority of other fans do as well. But I don't think it should be the standard of "great Ayu music." I'm so sick of people saying, "Oh this song is great, but it's no Dearest," or "Gosh why can't Ayu make more songs like M" for comparison. They're not THAT great. She has a large body of work and has far more interesting songs outside of some her more notable singles, at least in my opinion. And even now, I'm listening to M and I can already think of a song I find more interesting than this one.
