[Official Message] New Single 16 December 2009 - You were.../BALLAD

[HanabiChick]

Thanks for the news, I was hoping for winter ballad. I like the titles, looking forward to this.

[Tasked]

A ballad-single? I was hoping for a bit of rock... And I wish the song would just be 'Red line' or "RED LINE" instead of ~for ta~... sounds more weak.... But hopefully the songs are good.. A new single of course is always good

Well it's a winter single after all, but there are 3 songs... so maybe one of them might be rock!

I really hope so... I'm putting my money on 'RED LINE' to be rock.... but.. A good ballad isn't that bad... but real good ballads are rare

[Handjan]

I'm going to order CD version on CD Japan now!!! I can't wait to hear new songs!!!

Thanks for sharing.

[zyoeru]

I'd love it if BALLAD had irony in it. <3
Too sad they've already said it's a ballad. T_T

[U-GO-BOY]

I'm excited <3
aaaand I don't have to buy all 3 versions to get a song which isn't on all versions so I'm just buying the 2 CD+DVD versions <3

[nanakopy87]

delirium,do you think is it possible to put the pre-order link at the first post there?

let's hope that RED LINE ~for TA~ will be a kick ass tune to balance things out then

anyway having said that , I don't mind if either 1 of the A-side will be a winter rock ballad . That will be ace <3

I can´t wait to hear and see the songs and videos I´m really looking forward to the release

[NintendoHTF1242]

Yay for Music Box versions! Eww three different versions. LOL Talk about being lazy. BALLAD? alan already did this Ayu, get a different title. But can't wait.

[aura~]

OMG! I'm so excited now! And they will make me buy all three versions! This is like what she did for days/green, they switch the first title.

Obviously i'll buy A and B cd+dvd versions because of the different covers and making clips... This is sure... But i'll also buy cd only version if I love the cover or it comes with different first press gift. Oh my poor money! Hahaha! Well I only do it for ayu, so...

Anyway, about the red line thing, what others said about the story of fate, etc.. I think they are right but I also thing ayu is making reference of her red bracelet and what it means for her... She talked a lot about this bracelet days ago and TA members (me included xd) send her a lot of emotional messages...

I think it's so nice she makes a song for her fans, and i'm a ta member, but still I find this 'for ta' quite excluding, because not all her fans are in ta... I know she may be refering to ALL her fans, but...

Well, now we have to wait, but i'm really excited about this songs! I hope they will be great! I don't know how will be the ballads, but I feel as RED LINE will be similar to MY ALL!

That's true. I've forgotten all about that bracelet. So maybe it's more a reference to the bracelet than to the red thread of fate itself. Or the bracelet is a reference to the red thread of fate and the song is a reference to the bracelet. complicated much?

I don't think it (red line) will be a rock song. I'm guessing 3 ballads here. The title doesn't strike me as rock. Maybe Rock Ballad?

[keikeiaznqueen]

Not counting Together When... in 2007, Ayu hasn't released over 2 physical singles in a year since 2005. This is exciting.

And 3 ballads! Looking forward to this release.

[PoetGirl]

i hope for 3 ballads. i dont like rock that much. why do people who want rock from ayu
dont go just listen to rock bands lol.

im thinking so hard now what to choose, and i think ill buy all the version or only cd one -.- hopefully ill be more sure when covers will be out.

I happen to love Ayu's rock style, and I DO listen to rock bands. But when Ayu makes a rock song, it just makes me love her even more.

[LacusClyne]

i'm still waiting for mumo site to put up their special gifts then i'll decide where to order...either mumo or cdjapan

[ayumisrael]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ayu's first solid winter ballad single since HEAVEN!

Well, I'd prefer the red version no matter who has done it before. I really liked the Mirrorcle World Cover, so I'd like to have something similar. Snow as in Sunrise/Sunset sea & flowers background? I think snow is hard to do as background, or generally on photos.

@Keiichi
For me Days is much more Winter Song than HEAVEN. But everybody's got different opinions.
