Can't wait for the covers, hope they look elegant and pure. ;]

i agree, You were... seems to sound like a beautiful song

really glad that she's coming up with this new single so soon

It's 2 months to the single, so I predict some revelation of what songs are used in which CMs/tie-ins (if she has any)... about one more before the single, there should be covers, then hopefully a week or two before the release date we would get a leak.

And also a few days before the single, there should be the TV broadcast of the PV too.

GRACE · #**404** 23rd October 2009, 06:39 AM

The You were... will likely surface in the JPop mafia around MidNovember. And then, it could go either way. Either they'll hold onto it with a death grip or it'll slip out, only time will tell.

I have a feeling BALLAD will pull a Days and wait for the PV to leak

rakeru · #**405** 23rd October 2009, 07:07 AM

i've never thought any of her titles were cheesy or tacky, and i feel the same way about these. i'm particularly excited about RED LINE.

TeddyGrahams · #**406** 23rd October 2009, 07:12 AM

Haha people are complaining about these titles? Lol they're a bit normal than before. Like come on Mirrorcle World, Talkin' 2 Myself, Load of the Shugyo etc /Which I thought were jokes at first...

And she always use squiggles lines in her titles. Love ~Destiny~, Key ~Eternal Tie ver~, Hanabi II ~Episode 2~ etc

Hopefully these titles have some connection to the lyrics, so excited for them thou! <3

actually I hope for something wintery along the lines of her nwts single cover even though I hated that cover.

I actually had a horrible thought today that the cover would be her in a bathing suit again except this time wearing a fur coat as well to give it that "wintery" feel. lol

The wintery, the better for me! Lol. I loved Days so much because JEWEL was so amazing, but didn't have the too much of a christmasy feel to it (but it didn't need it). Together When... had slight winter feels but it was kinda boring compared to JEWEL. Then Days was like the winter song I was waiting for since No Way To Say.

What's the thing people here have for alan? She is far from being the only singer in the world who had a song titled BALLAD!

Why would people even want to compare Namie's album sales with the sales of an Ayu single?

AyaCere · #**410** 23rd October 2009, 07:55 AM

Sounds that i'll be a very beautiful single, I really love the tiitles it's typical for ayu to use such titles.

I think 'BALLAD' will be some kind of 'JEWEL', well I hope so.

Well Alan is from the same department from the same label, and released the song recently. Just like why people were saying 'KODA KUMI!' when ayu announced Secret.

Plus no one was wanting to compare ayu's and namie's sales, just one person cheekily wondering who would get more sales. Not the same thing

Who'll get more sales? Seriously?

An album by a female artist who should still be in her 2nd peak VS a single...

I am hoping one of the songs will end up being another JEWEL.

It's not fair to compare them. However, I do feel that there is the possibility of ones sales effecting the other. People who walk into a record store that like both artists might not want to buy both at the same time, so they pick one over the other.

njanjayrp · #**415** 23rd October 2009, 08:47 AM

^ sure there is always that

On the other hand, we know that the majority of people who buy Ayu's physical singles are fans, so I don't think it will make a BIG difference, after all I am pretty sure AVEX people know what they're doing.

Picaflor 7/4 · #**416** 23rd October 2009, 09:27 AM

All 3 titles seem to be a ballad imo.

I want ballad to be a "jewel, no way to say, curtain call" type of song not a "together when, days, momentum" type. haha if you know what I mean.
(even though imo nwts and days sound really similar in composition) I want it to be not over the top like the second three, but not as simple as the first three.
and I personally have no problem with all of them being ballads if they are, which I doubt they all will be.

njanjayrp · #**417** 23rd October 2009, 09:28 AM

Everything besides something Days or Curtain call like is fine with me

Something like momentum/No way to say/JEWEL would be great, but for some reason I have a feeling the TA song might be something like MY ALL.

Uemarasan · #**418** 23rd October 2009, 11:10 AM

People complain about BALLAD as a title and yet LOVE SONG has been getting a free pass since time immemorial.

Unfortunately, a lot of people on this forum barely make any logical sense. Rabid fan syndrome.

I pray to God Ayu offers us something new. I'm getting a bit tired. Ayu, please reexamine your career and see why I Am... is so revolutionary.

prussian blue · #**419** 23rd October 2009, 12:09 PM

seriously, the title sounds like fan made single's title

still keep looking good at it

perfectly agree.
at least she is releasing something. I wonder how she feels if any release is complained by her fans.
