Swear is such a big bore. I'm disappointed in the single. It didn't fail as much as BALLAD, but it just wasn't good. The instrumentation for both songs are really nice though.

^You're right. It didnt fail as much as BALLAD. In fact, it flopped way harder. At least BALLAD reached #4 Loving Beauty!

woah, her threads are moving quickly. so to repeat myself Beauty is amazing and
deserved to be a single more than Swear. I think Swear is a nice change, but
... honestly I didn't have wish for to change her epic ballads into sweet songs.
I hope my life has epic ballads like Ashita e no sanka. I love how Beauty is so dreamy
and can't believe its not on the album.

haha the title's really fun!
anyway, I liked both BALLAD & Swear... I thought they were good songs. It's not a surprise that Swear flopped in the charts, considering my life's coming like 2 weeks later.

I didn't mean fail in chart positions. I meant fail as in all together song wise. BALLAD had nothing to redeem. Swear has something with the instrumentation going on there. Karen was right, Sophomore syndrome struck alan, and struck her hard.

All the Nov 4th singles/albums charted a day earlier than expected because of Japan's public holiday on Tue ie. Cultural Day so the unofficial 1st day sales for everyone are low
I think things will pick up today , I sure hope so :S
