You were.../BALLAD information thread [II]

[maze]

would be nice if the covers look like this:



and that straight hair is awesome, too

[yuki_unmei]

I actually like the title BALLAD. Yeah i laughed at it at first, but it's not as pathetic as, say, Mika Nakashima naming an album "MUSIC"


and yea, if the first press really have interchangeable covers, there's got to be atleast ONE picture of her smiling...there has to be..

Even if you're not that hardcore, you should know that her dark lyrics captured Japanese teenagers in the first place, not her image. Her fashion came afterwards. Of course, now her glamour covers up everything she's done before (and including her mind), which is quite sad...

Oh, I haven't seen a good summary of the way Ayu is best known according to era like this before. To add to that, the way her glamour overrides everything she's done and is doing is probably the reason why people on AHS constantly want to see her in a more natural state. (In jeans, with less makeup, etc.) It'll be nice if Ayu appears like that in an official event someday again.

LOL!! Oh my god, I hope it doesn't turn out like that. XDD But then again, it'd be painfully funny.

.

And then what? She will do it so satisfy older fans and people who like more relateable images, be fake to herself and people (by doin stuff she doesn't want) and then the world will be complete and all of the older fans and a lot of new fans will come (which I doubt it)? I'm not sure if she should.

That would be the freaking best single ever, even if it were just for the titles.

and what about the next week? Must we hope for a 2nd week in #1 place?

we don't have much strong singles here too... except the ELT best-album and flumpool first full-length album
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/newrelease/...ate=2009-12-23

well all the big Johnny's releases are coming up in full force during Nov (all my $ D: D: D: D: ) so I don't think any big major Johnny's acts will be putting out their stuff in Dec (if so maybe after the Oricon year 2009's done)

I think it's pretty certain You were ... / BALLAD can get #1 on that day . I don't think MISIA pose that much of a threat but I really don't know since I don't really listen to her

& YES I'm SO happy & excited for flumpool's debut full length album What's flumpool ?!

so getting that for sure alongside with BREAKERZ's FIGHTERZ album which will be out on 2nd Dec

MISIA's and Ayu's releases often get the same release dates, MISIA never posed a threat though

Karen, I don't know how you do it, but you always manage to talk about Johnnys in Ayu's thread ( ).

[AyumiBest]

Glad Ayu doesn't have much competition.

Gosh, to the people saying they would like a cover similar to CAROLS-- I too would LOVE that. That cover is gorgeous.

[brener]

wich strong singles will be released in the same day of Y/B?

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

as of right now, i believe the only other popular artist releasing ANYthing on that day is Namie's new album.

other than that, there aren't any singles scheduled yet that could cause a threat, unless there happens to be a huge hit with a random act that doesn't usually happen.

*however, i'm unsure about "The Birthday"--are they popular enough to be a threat?? not sure about them...
