A fantastic release! You were... is a very touching song, with beautiful melody and lyrics but BALLAD is in my opinion the superior song. If you enjoyed Days/GREEN and BLUE BIRD you'd be practically guaranteed to like this single. Ayu is at her best in ballads and the remixes of You were... and Sunset are also great listens. The PVs are more interesting than those in NEXT LEVEL as she returns to Takahide Ishii (UNITE!) and Masashi Muto (Depend on YOU, Is this LOVE?, Ladies Night). The PVs feel like a step back to those times when I couldn't wait to see her latest video... RED LINE is a more upbeat song than the two A-sides but features great lyrics written from her heart to her fans. It's a more "summer" song than the others which makes me happy as it's summer here and I don't feel awkward listening to wintery songs when it's 40 degrees C outside!
