[Official Message] New Single 16 December 2009 - You were.../BALLAD

[hearted]

ooooh cant wait!!!!!

[panda♥]

can't believe i just noticed this post.

can't wait to see what Ayu has come up with, i'm sure it'll be an awesome Winter ballad. :3

[mi|kshake]

Can't wait for a winter PV!

I wonder if Red Line is getting a PV - perhaps it will be included on the album?

mi|kshake~

[GRACE]

I don't think "~for TA~" means "~STRICTLY for TA MEMBERS WHO PAY THE FINE EVERY YEAR AND ARE IN JAPAN~"

I think of myself as TA, even though I'm not, because I love Ayu, and I figure that's all that's really required right?

[do it again]

since RED LINE ~for TA~ is listed on the official tracklist for the single, i think it will be included on all versions and not just special TA version of the single. by TA she probably just means TeamAyu as in her team, her fans, etc, not the name of the fanclub.

i hope one of the ballads will be a dramatic ballad with beautiful arrangement... her recent ballads don't really convey the same emotion that they used to.

[ayumisrael]

Or dedicating to TA is just simpler than dedicating to media fire (RED LINE ~for MF~)
(my fans). I bet no one would understand what MF stands for without the whole TA idea.



Btw I just noticed, it's going to be like Days/GREEN (just with less versions)

CD+DVD version 1

01. You were... (Original mix)
02. BALLAD (Original mix)

CD+DVD version 2

01. BALLAD (Original mix)
02. You were... (Original mix)

CD only

01. You were... (Original mix)
02. BALLAD (Original mix)

So You were... is aimed to be the Days and main A-side.

[Crystal_Ageha]

Yeah, some of Ayu's song titles are kinda blugh in my opinion. :X Like fairyland--what the heck is with that?? ):< That and my name's WOMEN still irritate me to this day, even though they're two of my favourites, lol.

[GRACE]

as long as it sounds nothing like Days, that's cool with me :3

[IYFreak]

I just hope it sounds nothing like Curtain Call, as long as it doesn't sound like that, I know it'll be great..........just why....december.......so far away......

[Kazeyomi]

oh well she's pretty smart to don't have song titled OH YEAH or YEEEEEE!!

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

^ she should name her next new single that

[ownsarai]

@koshka - LOL that is true.
I personally like the titles. BALLAD, I don't know about. I do hope it will be a really grand ballad though.
RED LINE kind of reminds me of the bracelet she wears, so maybe it's about/for her friend, and thanking everyone in TA for helping her and her friend through that very sad time? That's what I think, but again, I could be wrong.
And You were... does remind me a bit of Together When..., but maybe it's just the '...' that's doing it. I do hope it is like Together When... but of course not EXACTLY like TW... because that would just give the haters more ammunition. she can't even write a new song without it sounding like so-and-so song BLEH. I can just hear them now.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I haven't followed Ayu long enough to know if she did it before but in the GUILTY era she changed hairstyles considerably for each single, so I wonder what she will look like for this one... I want her to go brunette again!

Not gonna happen.

[Bigtop]

I'm just wondering...is there any other releases on this date (singles, albums, and just to be curious, DVDs) besides Ayu's new single?

[JackieRos]

what!
what! wth tacky tittles

im excited for sunset orchestra

I want that too. I personally detest her ash-brown hair color that she always has (ever since post GUILTY- excluding a few blonde moments lol).

Go brunnette ayu!

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

lol alot of her titles are tacky
no biggie for me

[Mari-chan]

Ohh.. thats sounds good. Hope there will be a beautiful Winterballad.
Can't wait, until it will be released.

[jean-baptiste]

i dont know why everyones assuming both songs will be ballads.

when you think about it both have the potential to be kinda upbeat.

when i first saw the title You were..., i didnt think of TW... or It was... i thought of until that day... but i guess thats just me.

You were could be an angry goodbye song. and BALLAD could be a "this ain't a love song" type thing.

im pretty sure one of them is a ballad (cuz wintr) but i doubt both are (at least i hope).

i imagine Red Line as a MY ALL type song though...

[JackieRos]

^ delirium zero posted the TA translation which said

Two ballads to decorate the wintertime

tacky tacky tittles but i cant wait fot sunset orchestra
ah ugh ballads why of all things
