Together When wasn't a physical release.. and Days came with GREEN which, in my opinion, isn't a winter-song at all.

And I am SO EXCITED FOR THIS NEW SINGLE!!! OMG!!
Gonna buy Version A and C (and hope A's cover is better than B's.. otherwise I'm gonna beg CDJapan to change the in my order after the covers come out xD haha)

BTW did people also complain like this when she released SECRET? (since Kuu has the same album title). People it's just a NAME, there are hardly any song titles that are truly original. I bet that 99% of all song titles were used before by some artist.. (unless you think of something as wacky as RED LINE ~for TA~ lol) I think BALLAD sounds epic, and it's about the music anyway

3 BALLADS!!!!! sweet sweet winter. Im hoping for a "Days"-ish ballad and a "CAROLS"/"No Way To Say" emotional ballad...

i have this really really bad impression that now Ayu is making simple ballads...like...Curtain Call, Days, Sunset...and i hope this single will finally bring back her powerful and emotional ballads...last one being Together When...

Honestly...she did NOT copy alan because alan's song was named after the MOVIE and yes, kudos to the member that mentioned "A BALLADS". With that, I really like the titles. RED LINE just means so much, its awesome. "You were" sounds like a song to someone in the past heh...Ayu HAS LET GO!

go go Ayu...im actually hoping the songs dont come out one month before the single...that'll be quite...underwhelming. haha

She doesn't need to release anything for free.
There is no artist that I know that release music for free but it doesn't mean they don't love their fans.

I just find it funny that people complain even when there is nothing to complain about, at least not yet. Who cares if the song's free or not, especially when there is SO MANY PEOPLE ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADING music.

Actually, there are probably several examples of artists that have released music for free. For example, Radiohead made their entire album free and gave people the option of paying for it only if they want to.

But that's a totally seperate thing - I know Avex wouldn't let her release the song for free probably even if she wanted to. But since people around here seem to be classifying this song as a gift for fans, I just wanted to point out that usually you wouldn't have to pay for a gift.

That aside, I'm thinking that this will be the only upbeat song on the single - maybe rockish sounding.

Well we should minor the examples for at least japanese artist are the most popular japanese artists of the past and present =P

I mean most would release songs/fan songs not for free of course, unless if they are on their independent label or a label that would allow it or as a plan for something later. But yeah it's not free as it normally wouldn't. xD

Exciting~ I'm hoping for another breathtaking ballad(s) from Ayu. But the title, Ballad, really is uninspired.
Regarding letting fans have music for free, its something very difficult to do when you're tied to a big music label. The first thing Trent Reznor did when he got out of his contract was put his new album out for free download.

Glad we get a new Single before year's end!
I'm very excited about it, even it's a 2 Ballads Single...
So i hope You were... (i really love that title) is something like no way to say, momentum or Days and BALLAD is something like HEAVEN, JEWEL or CAROLS!
