Also, I just had a thought! My memory's a little fuzzy, so people who are experts in theater and such help me out. Is there some kind of theater genre called a ballad? I was thinking, if there is one... Maybe the reason BALLAD has it's name and the PV is to be super dramatic is because it's of the ballad genre? Or am I way off base?.... I probably am xD;

yes i agree,if it was Nagase i'm surely crying watching this PV,it's going to be soo sad and he's hotter than Shuya

i think that's why Ayu think Shuya is suitable for the role, with his overdramatic expression

i wonder about one thing, is the scene is going to be the present day or maybe around 70's or 80's..i dun know cos it more fit with the song

I can't wait for this single! I don't like "You were..." that much because it sounds generic and like a boring Mix of all her sad Winter Ballads. But "BALLAD" is a georgous song and I love the mix of epic singing and the traditional asian Instruments, it sounds like a fusion between "GREEN" and "Part Of Me"!
The Covers are alright. Nothing special, but they are way better than the "Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~"-Covers . The basic idea of the "You Were..."-PV is very cool. I like the whole Image with the weird couple, the hand puppet, the Trees made of Paper (I don't know how to descrice it in a better way, I think you'll get what I mean) and the dress made of a chain of lights - But the assembly is very dissapointing.
The weird couple looks like dancers from Lady Gaga . They are way TOO futuristic and ruin the beautiful atmosphere, even though I like the scene with the shining stone.
The idea of the hand puppet is very cute and creative, but you can only see the puppet during the opening of the PV. I have the sense that they just used the puppet as a filler for the opening Blank stare.
The "BALLAD"-PV is better. The Background-Story is very touching and Shu Ya is a great actor. Even though I hate Ayu's pink dress, the scenery is very beautiful .

The term ballad is classically used to describe a form of dramatic poem, so... kind of?

A bunch of people have seen a 15-30 second snippet from a morning entertainment news program, but not the whole thing.

She can choose whoever she wants to dance with and I can choose not to watch or buy anything (Arena,CDL DVDs) I don't like.

I guess I'll be buying just her albums to support her and hear her sing.

i know she can ^^

but most of her performances that has shuya in it i end up skipping ;P
and just listen to the audio lol

but i can't take it any more i wanna see her performances like i used to D;

don't you think it could have been better if she used a real actor in "BALLAD pv"
the song is really gorgeous and the idea of th pv is really good *o*

but the idea of using the same dancer over and over again is really boring
if you compare him with other dancers you know he's not that great
i think she's using him cuz he's very popular now and lots of her fans like him

too bad 4 me )=

can't wait for RED LINE (;

AH!!! BALLAD looks so pretty~ she looks like a princess <3

reminds me of forgiveness

i can't imagine shuya and motorcycles with it

unless...it's one of those story where it's ayu in her past life and she meets shuya again in her current life...like Voyage
