I agree, I was holding off listening to them until they came out in HQ and now I'm going crazy with them on repeat. I also keep repeating the RED LINE, Sunset orchestra version, and You were... music box version previews. I love every single thing I've heard that is on this single.

I don't like the RED LINE preview at all. The instrumental is ugly and really bugs me.

Still loving You were... / BALLAD though

My Pre-order at HMV is already "In transit" *-* maybe that means that the singles are arriving at HMV warehouse. This is the message displayed in my 'You were / BALLAD' pre-order's page:

"Please note that you are not able to cancel this order,
as it has already entered the despatch process. "

I think I'll prefer RED LINE over both You were... and BALLAD. lol

all I need to like a song is a catchy chorus such like this.

ummm I really don't know but it's generally assumed that the earlier you preorder , the chances of you getting the 1st press copies will be higher

And I thought sunday was always the leak day. Seems like Ayu's CD leaks are taking longer lol.

**ayumisrael** · #**449** 27th December 2009, 04:59 PM

I have no idea why they didn't leak yet to be honest (in full). =P

I also wonder if they will be in stores tomorrow or on Tuesday (since the release date is 29th so it might be like it was with MW).

I think it's just because the people who have it already have some need to be in control.

Like "I have it and all the Ayu fans need it, so I'll be awesome and needed and special and ~in control~ if I leak only a minute of all the songs instead of the full single! Then they'll still need me and I'll still be in control and special!

"

^ for one single? lol how pathetic

Ayusan · #**452** 27th December 2009, 06:24 PM

Very odd forum, not every opinion is accepted without being bashed lol, that's not because you are fan of something that you have to say : oh my it's so good, to everything.

A fan is not someone who is unable to accept others opinions, this is a fangirl/fanboy ! Some may love RED LINE, I still find RED LINE gross ! As I was very happy that life and Mirrorcle world wasn't on the album either and as I hope RED LINE won't be on the album because I really prefer something better IMO. As I didn't bashed some who said that RED LINE was better than you were... and BALLAD even if for me it's amazing to say this. But as it's their opinion and not mine, dunno why for God's sake I should open my damn mouth and bash them back as some have great pleasure to do. No life ? o-o

Maybe you should browse inet you will find some more violent reaction about the mix of that composer and arranger.

What is scary is people with freaking reaction to something that doesn't touch them at all, not their own life, not their own music they composed with their little fingers nor anything. It's music, not something that will make you have a house, a job or a family, it's all entertainment.

You should change the Rules : You must find everything good and wonderful to enter that forum or don't come here.

Thanks god on that forum there are nice persons, that accept everyone's opinion and won't cry or lack of sleep if that's not the same as theirs.

someone said something worst, that it wasn't a problem anymore it was named for TA .... if no one realized what it meant ..... seriously it's much more insulting than the fact to find a song gross, silly and dunno what .... because their it touchs the Team Ayu members .....

aura~ · #**453** 27th December 2009, 08:56 PM

I don't know if it was said.. and anyway it doesn't matter anymore but Janjany8 singles were not limited to 100 because: green gift: 99842, red gift: 101743, white gift: 104521... maybe it's only 120K... who knows, but ayu's single would have sold more than 100K the first week???

**ayumisrael** · #**454** 27th December 2009, 09:12 PM

Yeah they are either limited to 150,000 or 200,000 tops of the tops but it doesn't matter, their 2nd week (or 2nd+3rd) don't have a chance against ayu's 1st week (or 1st+2nd).

AyUta · #**455** 27th December 2009, 09:36 PM

I'm just going to wait for the actual single to leak

. Although I'm so temtpted!

Bigtop · #**456** 27th December 2009, 10:25 PM

It's already Monday in Japan, so soon the record stores should open, and it should start another week of single and album selling, but for a double week, and usually we see sales about a day prior to the official release date (her release date is on a Tuesday, so it should start getting some action on Monday, unlike when it is on a Wednesday, sales start on a Tuesday...)

It seems that there is no double week this year for the first time in a long time - at least that's how it appears. So I imagine it will be on shelves on its actual release date.

Are we sure though that there won't be a double week?

I mean judging just by NINKI maybe they didn't put dates for next week since there are no releases in the middle of the double week.
Also kuroki meisa's album date is 01.01 (a double week release date).

So maybe the single is already in stores today...(Monday)

brener · #**459** 28th December 2009, 02:11 AM

12 hours for the single's release and no leak...

AyuWorld · #**460** 28th December 2009, 02:22 AM

it's monday morning..so tomorrow is the day..can't wait! wow this is first time, still no full single leak XD
