Yeah I thought about that too~

Or maybe the red thread of fate

People are destined to meet each other....and stuff like that

Ayu wrote some very deep thoughts about her friend after they passed away. TA knows how much emotion can be put into her songs, so they asked her to write a song. As a wish to TA, who help her through good and bad times, she wrote the song for them.

I don't see what's so wrong with that.

I'm sure she knows she has fans around the world - actually, we know she knows she has fans around the world. Remember all those people who came to see her in Paris? Remember when she went to LA and had that Chinese fan come up to her? She knows, but she didn't write that song for us - she wrote the song for TA because they wanted the song written. It's not even about TeamAyu - it's about her friend who passed away.

i think ~For TA~ is just a demarkation on the song that it is THE song that TA wanted her to write..and the fact that its being released just shows that its for EVERYONE to hear. If you don't like the name then just change it to RED LINE then?..sheesh

I think I'm done explaining myself, no one seems to understand that there never were any complaining. Hm.

On a different note; Who else thinks that the music box version will be SUPER emotional, and sooo great? I absolutely adore her music box versions, and re-recorded vocals? World's biggest *yay*

are people in Japan just unable to e-mail ringtones to their computers, or can you not do that in general? I'm not very tech savy, my phone can't even register mp3s so I dunno how it works LOL

I was just thinking, if there was a way to do it, someone who had them could, you know, get a more HQ clip mashup out there

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.

the opening suddenly reminds me of untitled ~for her~..and the emotions as well. I love this ballad already!! it's so packed in the chorus. I'm quite surprised that the melody is actually a positive one but the arrangment and the background music makes it sound so grave and sad.

I love this song even more <3 It's a very powerful ballad.

I really cannot wait to hear the rest of the songs off the single. Doesn't matter if two of them are mixes, I still can't wait to hear those. Hah.
