Woohoo!! It's at #9 today!!! Well, the single isnt that good anyway.... a biiiiig drop from KnK.

yesasia haven't sent my parcel with this single yet :(

oh dear , what happened ? I guess stock probably got delayed at their end

but anyway I was HMV earlier on & there were a LOT of CD only editions of her BALLAD single & yes that orange plastic thing was on top of the cover T_T

This's the 1st single I'm not buying of alan & I'm waiting for her 2nd album to arrive :P

??? Nope, BALLAD fell to #14 today if I'm not wrong. Let me check.

Yeap... fell to #14, #9 was yesterday.

This is kinda saddening... I don't know why this happened. Maybe it's the huge gap between the singles... cos that's what happened for Hata Motohiro too; both new singles flopped.

Maybe I'm wrong to call BALLAD a flop, but we'll see after the TV lives and movie premiere. :yes

im not sure what's going on with them lol maybe many people tried to get this single in yesasia? not sure... I made my preorder soo long ago... can't even remember when lol hopefully they are going to send it this Monday :(


I guess this year I'm getting used to get ugly singles from my favorite singers xD

lol that's why I don't really like to order from YesAsia so much , they took forever to process my orders but their customer service's friendly so I have to give credit to them when it's due & etc

& LMAO , if you think BALLAD covers are BAD , this's probably the worst (despite being a KAT-TUN stan) - http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/.../pop_dont.html

:dead2 :dead2 & the worst thing's that I have all 4 editions -_-'''

^oh my

i actually love kattun lol but xDD those covers are SOOOO RANDOMMMM

xD xD

yeah those covers are just *shakes head

the 6 heads really scared me when I 1st saw them @_@ & really , makes you wonder which silly people J-One Records has hired to do covers for them last year :eviltongu

at least when you compare that with alan's , alan's doesn't look THAT bad at the end of the day :lmfao

When I used YA it took me a little more then a week to get my packages. CDJ, while more expensive, has awesomely fast shipping~

Am I the only who likes BALLAD? :cry I know it's not her best, but I still like it.

EDIT: YesAsia used to be super fast, like back five or six years ago, when I first ordered from there. Now it can take a couple a weeks. :(

^ Its her fourth to best single to me

1. Gunjou no Tani
2. RED CLIFF ~Shin Sen~
3. Kuon no Kawa
4. Ballad
5. Ashita he no Sanka
....

Mine's...

1. Megumi no Ame
2. BALLAD
3. Kuon no Kawa

I love BALLAD, it's a beautiful song and a good single. It's not my top favorite (still unsure exactly what that is) but it's definitely way up there for me <3
