I think she can totally surpass Days, since every other ballad ever did a good job at it =/...

Just my opinion, Days was FABULOUS lyrics set to a generic pop ballad, it was a shame

i think she can surpass Days for sure. Days was soo happy/sweet sounding. i am hoping these ballads are more emotional. i prefer her emotional ballads over the sweet ones

For me, I don't think she can make a better ballade than Days, either. Not right now. I really like that song. I only like a few ballades better than Days. ^_^

i definitely wouldn't mind another JEWEL type song...to me the simplicity makes that song absolutely gorgeous.

^ Totally agree. In a way, though, JEWEL actually reminds me of Days....but maybe I'm just crazy. >_>

I do want another CAROLS/JEWEL/Days type of ballad. I love all of them to pieces. I could die happy if she makes another epic ballad like these.

100% agree with you

i don't like days melody and arrangement at all, but the lyrics are sooooo beautiful

I expect also an epic, deeply emotional song like identity said... in the line Heaven, will... criminal or jewel

Imo, even though Days had really good lyrics, the production was a failure compared to any of her previous ballads, the arrangement was obviously really generic and simple sounding and can't come even close to HEAVEN, JEWEL, No way to say or Together When... in other words I don't want another Days (even though I do like the song) not now, not ever.

I think Days is a great song that adds into her collection of ballads. Sure it's not the distinct different sounding Heaven or the Beautiful piano that is Jewel. But it's a generic cute song that is still very nice to listen to. It's not bad. It's not the best but it is still a nice addition to her ballad songs.

I can totally agrre on that with you^^

It's a very nice addiction and I thin it would be boring if there would be only those "high-class" ballads.

It was a cute christmas song.

That's the same thing Kumi does with stay with me imo.

I'm hoping for this:

You were... -> something like Far away
BALLAD -> something like Together When...
RED LINE ~for TA~ -> something like AUDIENCE

But I'm expecting this:

You were... -> something like Days
BALLAD -> something like Curtain Call
RED LINE ~for TA~ -> something like Humming 7/4

Because I'm not totally happy with any of those songs, and that's the kind of luck I have. XD

Considering how recent Days/Curtain call are, it probably makes more sense to think those are up ahead...

Maybe she should at least tell us who will compose/arrange, haha. -sigh-

According to ayuangel's latest entry, she has already shot the covers and says something like "There's a slightly different approach to these covers than before, and that they are good photos that stick to the songs." Maybe it means less photoshopping? Or NO MORE KAZUYOSHI?

Maybe we should wait for a different translation, haha.

Les photos pour les covers aussi, on a fait une approche légèrement différente de ce qu'on a fait jusqu'à présent... je crois que ce sont de bonnes photos, qui collent bien aux musiques ♪

(lol I dislike this song a lot, sorry Days-fans)
HEAVEN just seemed uneventful after all my anticipation for it. I never thought it was absolutely to die-for - but it is a nice song
CAROLS took some getting used to but I warmed up to it.

Normally I prefer the big winter synths and all the cheerful sounds, but I must say that when I first heard JEWEL, I was blown away (I waited til I got my CD on X'mas to watch the pv/listen to the song). It seriously is a 'gem' and beautifully done. Much more simple, but sooo epic.

I'm happy to see so many Days lovers, but I also see the Days dislikers/haters, Lol.

I feel like the main arguement from people is that Days is "too generic" or "to 'mainstream'" - like it really was commercial and tried to appeal to the public. But seriously, I think it's a really great song and how it kicks in is amazing. I just love it, lol.
