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

[tinka69]

I'm just happy some new material is coming out after what feels like forEVER. You were sounds interesting...ballad sounds typical...and red line? Not sure what to think of this title at the moment.

[tinka69]

for the record red line sounds a gazillion times more interesting than BALLAD. just typing it make me feel sleepy.

[yuki_unmei]

^ that would be very cool
if it is then i want one <33

[freedreamer]

3 BALLADS!!!!! sweet sweet winter. Im hoping for a "Days"-ish ballad and a "CAROLS"/"No Way To Say" emotional ballad...

i have this really really bad impression that now Ayu is making simple ballads...like...Curtain Call, Days, Sunset...and i hope this single will finally bring back her powerful and emotional ballads...last one being Together When...

Honestly...she did NOT copy alan because alan's song was named after the MOVIE and yes, kudos to the member that mentioned "A BALLADS". With that, I really like the titles. RED LINE just means so much, its awesome. "You were" sounds like a song to someone in the past heh...Ayu HAS LET GO!

go go Ayu...im actually hoping the songs dont come out one month before the single...that'll be quite...underwhelming. haha

well.....
i don't think avex will let ayu release something for free...

[ayumisrael]

She doesn't need to release anything for free.
There is no artist that I know that release music for free but it doesn't mean they don't love their fans.

[me0wie]

crossing my fingers and hope the covers will be good.... :x

why 3 versions!!! broke broke broke! i was so glad when sunset/sunrise only have 2 versions. now she's back to the limited edition 3 versions thing again...

[Gubsi]

Glad we get a new Single before year's end!
I'm very excited about it, even it's a 2 Ballads Single...
So i hope You were... (i really love that title) is something like no way to say, momentum or Days and BALLAD is something like HEAVEN, JEWEL or CAROLS!

Neither is Will, lol.

^ RED LINE sounds cool, even if it reminded me of going fishing, or a kabalah bracelet at first.

[hayasaki]

Yay! This news has completed my day! yay! The titles were sooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful. and i'm gettin' excited to hear the previews soon!!! YAY!

[yamadashun]

i dunno why but it gives me a thought that RED LINE is something like MY ALL.

i DO hope that You were... will be like I am..., with inspirational lyric, instead of some ballad or warming-themed lyric.

[Tasked]

didnt even think of it yet.. but lol... 'I am...' is the opposite of 'You were...'

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

ohh I think I'm not gonna preorder just yet because the earlier I preorder, the ugliest the single covers/crappy pvs/meh the songs are. ^^ So I'm gonna wait *v*

[U-GO-BOY]

haha yeah you're right xD

[aurinko.]

yay~ finally xd
I'm so excited... although the titles don't seem very fresh...
she could have meged it in one, e.g. 'You were...a ballad' way better if you ask me...

and why is TA getting an additional song!? it's not fair

Well ayu said in her blog that the single is about ayu of today so You were... must be like singing about herself of the past and BALLAD is probably a solid "me of today".
RED LINE ~for TA~ (Team ayu) is for the fans and they asked her to release more songs in the single so it's going to be about the bond she and her fans have as she always write about it in her posts.
