Ayu often writes things that you already know, on which most people have the same opinion, but her lyrics make you realize how true and important these things actually are.

Indeed ^^ and of course there is a way she interprets things in her songs, even though RED LINE sounds pretty happish, I find it quite sad, it has been a while since I was able to relate to an Ayu song like this.

Exactly.
It's another kinda "sad" sounding song but it brings an optimistic message which is great.
The lyrics (and ayu) are really true.

I don't even sense any sadness in RED LINE, she sounds really happy in it and when I listen to it I feel happy. It's just a feel-good song to me.
I REALLY wish the making-ofs were longer, omfg. For some reason it seems like they keep getting shorter and shorter.

It's not really how it singing, it's more of how her singing correlates with the arrangement (which is a huge part) but yeah, not sad as depressing, more melancholic.
It's not a sad song though, it's optimistic and it's great.

ITUNES RANKING
You were... Number 1!!!!!!!
Ballad is number 12 overall and number 10 on J-pop

Aw, the lyrics to Red Line are beautiful from that small translation. :)

Thanks for the links for the Making of Clips.
I always like watching it.

thanks for the links of the making of's, Luna! I hope they'll be available for DL soon. >_<

Hooray for You were... being #1 on Itunes! But does anyone know why You were... and BALLAD are listed as separate singles? RED LINE isn't even for sale.

oh,i see.i guess i've too excited and mess up everything :P

they're selling a special limited / serial numbered box at the countdown live containing all three versions of the single, in a special box.

blah. i'm going to have to sell my already purchased singles, because i want the box. haha.
