Hm. I'm trying my best to not get upset over the covers. I'm just crossing my fingers that it's nothing like sunset/sunrise. Please let them be epic.

also would it kill her to put more english in her songs or stop naming everything en english, of 11 studio/compilation albums, we only have like 5 japanese titled songs, none of which have any english in them.

Rainbow was her break through album in english...that was it...no more english after that.... unless you count "energize" was it? which had like 3 lines of english in it...like 6 albums later.

^^You're already trying not to get upset and they aren't even out yet? LOL

^^^ I'm trying damn it!!!! T_____T

Seeing as how Rule / Sparkle and Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ turned out, We're all a bit pessimist about the covers we might get for You know... / BALLAD.

Heyyy~ I liked the covers for Rule / Sparkle. Granted she did look like a tranny (XD) just a bit, she still looked really fierce! :heart

As for Sunrise / Sunset, I guess I can't blame people for being pessimistic. I should probably start thinking pessimistically too, just incase. It'd be better to be absolutely stunned that disappointed again. haha I can see the thread now if the covers end up being bad: everyone will be all :no instead of :eviltongu this time around.

OT: Did Ryo Nishikido really have the swine flu or that just a joke? :dead2

I liked Sunrise covers, I just hated the background...

I am thinking this time it will be good ones, but not like some of her previous winter ones.
I hope not like No Way to Say covers though, because I hated that cover.
Like, Carols, or a cover that is not so photoshopped!!

I am expecting a lot~~~

I don't really like BALLAD title, but I am gonna see the lyrics and see how it connects, cause I dont think she would name it BALLAD just because its Ballad.

And yeah, I think Nishikido had Swine flu. Many Johnny's had swine flu.

lol don't remind me of Sunrise pls, and also Ryo Nishikido contracting swine flu. XD

Anyway, I have expectations for this single, because her previous winter single (Days) was like my favorite everything from her, and I've always loved her winter songs, so... ^^

I was here for the origin of the "egg" rumor, and it started with MY STORY. But then whenever we had a "Make Your Own Fake Tracklist" thread, "egg" tended to make an appearance in those tracklists. "Gravity" was part of another rumor, I think that it was part of a double a-side called "Now Then / Gravity" or something (I'm pretty sure it had "now" in it, but I can't be sure.) I am sure that "egg" originated as a MY STORY rumor though. :)

Somebody brought up CAROLS... I honestly think that's a worse title than BALLAD, lol. :\ I really don't see why so much hate on it. I like it! :( Sometimes you can get the point across best if you go the simplest route. I honestly wouldn't want every artist to give every song a complicated title. The "cheesy" titles actually give the song title world some flair. :)
And I love how she looked for Rule / Sparkle!! :heart It was just her poses that messed it up, lol...

I think it was Now&Forever, or something.

I'd rather she continue titling things in English without any English in the songs themselves. And a lot of singers in Japan use solely English titles. What's wrong with that?

:D YAY FOR A NEW SINGLE!!! Here's hoping that it's as elegant as CAROL'S cover! PLUS!! I can feel that You were... would be a "Close to you" part II! :D

^ I wouldn't mind that, considering I've recently taking a liking to Close to you. :D

^ ^ Yeah, probably 3/4 of the Japanese songs I have on my computer aren't titled in Japanese, hah. (They're usually in English, but even other languages pop up sometimes).

Yeah, that was it! :D

Yeah, seen tons of spanish, french, german and latin titles, japanese seem to love these languages

At first i saw the track list (on a different website) I was like is this one those fan made track list, so i look here, and i was like it official. Seems neat. i cant wait ^_^

I love the fact that she keep using english for her titles, i won't have to stress about how to tag it XD

But... isn't TW... already pretty much Close to you part II? At least lyrically. :P But, I sure wouldn't mind if You were... were to continue from that whether it's musically/lyrically/whatever :D mmm... daremo itsuka tatta hitori no hito ni deau tame aruiteku... Geez. Now I'll be listening to Close to you all week xD So beautiful.

When I imagine what the covers will look like I keep envisioning a blue and purple scheme, kind of like the candle scene in the Momentum PV. What do you guys imagine?

Rule/Sparkle covers were cool, but not super IMO. She had much better covers before.:innocent

I would love to have covers like Together When... or Days/GREEN.:luv2
