You were... / BALLAD information and covers [VII]

[Luja.]

Is there a YouTube link to the full BALLAD?
Since I can't download it at the moment I'd be really happy if someone could upload / find it at YT.. *wanna hear it T__T*

[aura~]

^i uploaded it yesterday ^^ Hope I helped you ^^

[Kanzaki]

I'm really loving this single so far : Every aspect of it is so emotional and beautiful.
Red line must be equally touching, the theme kept in mind. I'll probably cry (again) when I hear it.

[TeddyGrahams]

^ I pray for Red Line to be the life saver for this single for me. >.<

Usually I love her Swiggles (~) songs. Sunrise/Sunset~AiL~, MA ~T2~, Untitled~FH~, Key~ETv~ etc.

[AyUta]

I have a feeling RED LINE is going to be beautiful too, just like these two songs <3

Wow, you're right. All but S/S maybe, her swiggles are some of her best songs.

[pommy48]

I totally forgot about RED LINE...I'm just so taken by BALLAD

I love how she doesn't overdo the vibrato in it~ She sounds so beautiful and pure in it! It's been a long time since an Ayu song tugged on my heart a bit

Yea I like how she cuts off her voice instead of doing an extended, looong vibrato and then triy to fade it out like she usually does.

I hope Red Line is gonna be a totally different song, something really upbeat or whatever.

[Max_ZZZ]

ok well, basically all three songs are sad and whatnot right?
she said red line is her feelings about her friends put into words right

so this single seems... so somber LOL like it's nice, the songs may not be amazing or jaw dropping but it all comes together nicely

[truehappiness]

RED LINE might be sad, but it might also be an empowering upbeat song about how everyone's connected and so on. She hasn't mentioned anything about it, so anything's game.

2ch has a few comments of "I saw it!! BALLAD's PV on Mezamashi TV!" and "PV is too cheap! ... and something about a story with Shu-ya on a motorcycle. I feel like they're trolling since that's kinda fated-territory.

[miskiq]

oh no shuya again....boring

[truehappiness]

UH OH.

It was true... kinda.

From excite:

- The promotional film of Mr. Hamasaki progress's new song "Ballad" reached. The scene where eyes are made to shine severely to acting of man Cast also : in the movie set though it is painful [puromo] of the drama tailoring to think of the lover who exists in the accident. It actually supervised to a Mr./Ms. Hamasaki acting and own crack of cutting. Feelings enter in the last scene and the scene that really throws tears also. [Puromo] of the Mr./Ms. Hamasaki whole body pays attention to acting and is enjoyment [kudasa].

Not sure if it's Shu-ya, but... oi.

[pommy48]

Oh god...no...I should've brought CD+DVD A then.....>_>

[apple-pi]

I definitely don't want shuya-on-a-motorcycle anywhere near the BALLAD PV, ew. *crosses fingers*

[nanakopy87]

I'll be really pissed if it is. I highly dislike wannabe-movies in place of my music videos. It always turns out boring and completely unnecessary.
And God, please let there be no more Shu-Ya--somebody really needs to tell her to tone it down with his involvement in EVERYthing. Crap.

[GRACE]

I need more Maro and less Shuya. If there was Maro on a motorcycle I'd be happy *____*
