You were... / BALLAD information and covers [VII]

[TeddyGrahams]

^ thank you for the Translation!

Looking forward for this pv, even though I don't like Ballad at all.

[KarenPang]

oh wow that sounds dramatic X___X

it's nice that she has a hand in acting/editing the PV itself so there's some sorta standard that she has set ... er I hope

[nanakopy87]

wow..i hope its like Days.touching T_T but i don't hope for another glitter/fated type of PV

[ownsarai]

@emiko - I never said you don't have the right to hate, I just think it's ridiculous when no one even KNOWS for sure if Shu-ya is in this PV and already people are saying it's going to be horrible. Everyone should be used to seeing her dancers in almost everything she does by now. It's not going to change dramatically overnight.

[truehappiness]

I just think it's ridiculous when no one even KNOWS for sure if Shu-ya is in this PV and already people are saying it's going to be horrible.

A bunch of people said that Shu-ya is in the PV. I wasn't 100% sure since it is 2ch who was saying it, but it's pretty clear he is at this point.

Anyone with mixi.jp know if the communities there have more info/screen grabs?

[ownsarai]

Well, then let the hating continue.
It's not going to matter either way to me, I'm sure the PV will be great no matter who is playing the leading male role.

[Tasked]

The PV sounds nice, but... ugh; get rid of the dancers already. I'm glad you were... didn't have her regular dancers.

[freedreamer]

Lol it's so sad that people actually base the PV on SHUYA and NOT AYU omgg...poor Ayu being slammed because she acted with her dancer.

The plot sounds really dramatic. I hope it won't be like fated.
Was hoping for a more...oriental PV but o well. It should be airing soon then?

when i read that there would be animation, I immediately thought of Because of You's PV. heh..

[ayumisrael]

Watch it first, hate it later.

It sounds interesting, I want to see it. T_T

[miroro]

i hope the PV have a Days flavour
Well, if she uses Shu-ya it's because her japanese fans loves him (have you heard how they scream when she introduce him?) and she feels comfortable working with him. Oh god, yes, she should work with someone else just for the sake of AHS (jk)

i don't care about shu-ya. He's pretty sure i'm goonna love this PV

[yuki_unmei]

ugh, whatever happened to the days of hiring a foreign guy to act?


oh well, i hope it'll still be a good PV~

[Tony G]

Even if Shuya is annoying, this PV could still end up being great. He isn't going to ruin it for me.

[ayumi.hamasaki]

Is there any information when we are going to see BALLAD PV?

yeah, i hope BALLAD is a oriental PV. since the music itself is so Chinese.

[zyoeru]

I think that I'll like the PV..I hope it's interesting and full of imagery anyway because You were...'s video was great, so hopefully BALLAD's will be exceptional!

I don't necessarily mind Shu-Ya... but there are better dancers in Ayu's troupe. But I guess... I guess there's a certain chemistry between Ayu and Syukkun. :\

[Ayusan]

Some "fans" are scary, badly scary, I hope people show the same respect you show to Shu-ya = none, at last you would understand how stupid you are

Who care if Shu-ya is again in a PV, stop to scream your kiddy whim and try to think 2 seconds ( if you can ) why he is there again, because Ayumi surely enjoy to work with him and feel enough confident to do special things with him. I don't even think you have the right to complain because she is the boss and do whatever she wants to and whatever she feel ok to do, with who she wish !

If I'm right, it won't stop any of you to sleep, to eat, to live, then you should wait Ayumi performance and don't mind about the "man actor" and stop to whine like you are used to, you are insulting towards Shu-ya but more than all and there I'm shocked from supposed "fans" you are very insulting towards Ayumi. Reallly no education ! Respect her work and her choice, she didn't choose Shu-ya just to make you scream of horror, but because she want it ! And has her own reasons, that you agree with her or no isn't her problem !

What do you want ? That she takes another of her dancer and act awkward, shy, or odd because she doesn't feel the same than working with Shu-ya ?!

I don't give a damn of her dancers but at last I respect her choice and if after all of these years she still take him for everything then she must have a good reason and I don't need more.

As long as the PV isn't another glitter / fated then I'm alright (:

[waterballoon]

I just listened to BALLAD and I was wondering... how do they make the PV dramatic when the song's kinda all mild and soft throughout... it'll be really interesting.

[love in music]

I didn't really expect BALLAD to have some sort of dramatic storyline for the PV. I kind of expected it to be one of those one-shot PV's, I probably would like that more and it would be more fitting for the song imo. But I haven't seen the PV yet so I'll judge it when I see it, it could wind up being amazing Hopefully it won't be too long until we get it!
