That's how almost all of the BALLAD PVs I've seen are though. They're all at a length of 10:29 and the audio is way off sync and slower than normal. I recall this happening to some Lady GaGa track a while back too...

I'm aware that before HQ/HD on YT, people used to mess around with their settings to create a high quality video, but I don't think that's the case with the BALLAD file that was uploaded. I haven't seen forced AudioSwap in a while to be honest, though.

Whatever the case is, most of the uploads of the higher quality BALLAD on YouTube are unwatchable.

Lady GaGa's songs were manually raised in pitch to allow them to be uploaded, so Youtube wouldn't delete them, it's a different scenario.

I've seen some on youtube that are 5:49 :3

I think this high demand could really outrun Kanjani8's singles, if she ever faces them...

Has there been a consensus on that yet? Will she be in the double week and will it be with Kanjani 8?

^ She should be in the double week, even though Kanjani8's singles have limited pressing they're still not sold out at CDJapan. I don't think Kanjani is a potential threat atm and AVEX was well aware of that

I hope somebody will sell the single first press + poster after Christmas, as YesAsia is of some reason refusing to let me buy it D:

YesAsia's not working? That was my last hope.

They would mention in the description if it's sold out right? Which means, at YA they still have the first press?

That's because BALLAD was only shown on streaming sites (yahoo.jp), and not yet on TV. We'll have to wait for a broadcast on TV to have an HQ and an HD version of the PV.
