[News] You were... / BALLAD ~3rd Thread~

[Kanzaki]

BALLAD sounds like it should have been named EPIC. I know the lyrics are the results of google translate, but yeah...It sounds amazing.

[Bigtop]

Could be another kind of the JEWEL ballad series? That might really be interesting - only difference is that JEWEL was supposed to be a single but was consolidated into the Secret album, and the single that we are about to see is a double-A-side single...

well the songs do seem promising at least when it comes to lyrics. I am just hoping the songs don't have choreographies and that they do not feature the dancers.

google translation and made sense by me XD:

"BALLAD"

I awakened in a middle of a dream, eyelashes were wet.
I remembered the words "please do not go".
Never thought of this pitching change,
and always stand firm, the mind yearns respect.
In today's sunset, this time you have cried softly
and not as a dream "Do not go".

,·___·,

This ballads are soo sad T_____T

And she also talks about finishing the recording of a PV:

追伸。
2009/11/07 06:07 | ayu
今日の撮影は無事に終わったよ〜！！

でもね、、、ヘアーから顔から身体じゅう、本物のダイヤで

すきまなくキラッキラ、、、でもダイヤっで石だからさ、

肌触りはザラッザラ、みたいな。笑

そんな感じでした〜。お楽しみにっ☆’

she says something about heavy hair?? a wig?? and diamonds?? JEWEL II?? XDDD

aaa you are so cute aura!!!!
BALLAD sounds nice.. and I want pics from the recording..

[pommy48]

BALLAD sounds so nice~ i hope it's a nice song that'll make me cry, i want it something similar to Memorial address

[maikaru]

In the post about the PV, she says from her hair, to her face, to her body, everything was covered in diamonds.

I woke up in the middle of a dream, eyelashes wet.
The words I remember are "Please, dont go."
The thing that never changes is the strengthening/worsening of these thoughts.
The thing that never wavers is these feelings of undying respect (have no idea to translate 敬い慕う in english, so I chose that one.)
Today's sunset sky is gentle like you,
It's not a dream now, I cried out. "Don't go."~~~

[pommy48]

like JEWEL+kanariya lol

i'm really looking forward to this single!

[emikoishida]

BEAUTIFUL lyrics! I just hope it's not like JEWEL again.

I woke up in the middle of a dream, my eyelashes were wet.
The words I remember were "Please, don't go"
The things that never change, they invite these thoughts to me..
The thing that never trembles, is this feeling that yearns for respect.
Today's sunset sky, it is just as tender as you are.
This time the words that are shouted aren't a dream: "Don't go!"


omg.. it sounds so sad. It already makes me emotional, I bet the real song will make me cry sounds very nice, extremely excited for this single!!

[EDIT: Whoops while translating, someone already posted one well now you guys have options to choose from]

[Kanzaki]

If it has a melody as good as Memorial adress or CAROLS, I'll definitely cry.

[Bigtop]

Seems like the lyrics are really interesting...could that really be a key to outrun Matchy?

[ayumisrael]

ayu is naked in the PV and is covered with just diamonds??? (wishful thinking )

The lyrics look amazing. Sad they are.

[Crystal_Ageha]

Aaaahh, the lyrics are so beautiful!

And holy gawd, that S/S picture was quite hideous.......

[spanishfan]
