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

[KarenPang]

HQ of the You were ... preview(s) are so pretty/nice *_____*

It better comes with an awesome PV in the mix too

[CeReSu]

OMG its much much better now!
Chorus are very amazing *O*

[Luja.]

I have to say, now, after I listened to it multiple times I am not as excited as before but it stills sounds good in HQ..
I have big hopes for a great PV!

[JackieRos]

the song is so beautiful

[Corvina]

Ok, I'm the only one until now who doesn't like the song that much.
I don't know I don't feel much while listening to it.
But I'm not to fond of Ayu's ballads in general, so whatever.

[njanjayrp]

^ ballads are imo one of the strongest aspects that Ayu's discography holds ^^ It's really hard to judge the song based on what we heard so far

omg for real? usually it's her ballads that attract people and make them fans, so it's interesting/strange to read that a fan doesn't like any of her ballads.

Some ppl from another Ayu Forum i´m member also don´t like it that much so you are not alone^^
It´s like with all songs, everyone has different taste^^
I personally like the song, and I love the refrain

I didn't say I don't like any of her ballads, there are a few I like.
Heaven for example is great. But I'm not a ballad person, never were and never will be and Ayu isn't an exception.
To be honest the only japanese singers I can stand some ballads from are Ayu and Kuu.
I love Ayu for her dark midtempo songs like Duty or PS II or rock songs like GAME or t2m!

[Mai82Go]

I can see myself growing to like it. It's definitely better in HQ, and now I want to listen to the whole thing.

Oh yeah, I'm not the only one.
Everybody gets so excited about a winter release and I'm like: "Oh yeah... another ballad...oh no, two new ballads..." XD

Wow, I can see this becoming an instant hit amongst her Japanese fans . I really like it, even though it has a lot of similarities to some of her past songs. Beautiful winter single <3.

[nemesisyume]

the song is made of awesome and win

[broken_thread]

This is better than Namie's new ballad. I never doubted. GO AYU <33

[amorphose]

I'm so happy to have this more HQ version of the rip! It sounds beautiful. <3 I can listen to it on repeat now without hurting my ears. xD

Time to learn the lyrics! haha

[njanjayrp]

Loving the choruses~epic.

Hm, for me it's not. I like Namie's a little better, but Ayu's is still very beautiful, on the same level as Namie's. Both have made me very happy this season <3.

[Kirshwasser]

after listening to a better quality song, i heart this song a lot.. really beautiful
