"final"? No way. Not until she's like, in her fifties I bet.

Yeah sorry, I meant as a final release of the 5th commemorative releases ! It wasn't clear at all !

To be honest that's something I've always been wondering : is she gonna keep on singing until she physically can't ?

^I think she won't really stop singing at all. I mean there are bands out there, like the Scorpions, of which all members are in their sixties. Two weeks ago I went to a concert of a popular German rock musician, he's 64 now but was rockin' as if he's 44 instead.

No, I dont think Ayumi would stop... she has said many many times that music is her passion..
You just dont quit your passion. You can take a break, step back and re think it... but never stop.

^:yes

I imagine you guys are right... That makes me happy actually, I'll have new Ayu songs for a long time !

and she said that music was her life, so if you quit living.......:innocent

^ Well if she died, I would hardly think she would continue music... smartbutt.

But there is 2Pac.. and Elvis, and the Beatles (not all memebrs are died) who continue to release music (not all new granted).
Although that 2Pac... man, been dead for years and still manages to release new music...
Oh! and Micheal Jackson. :D

I'm not sure if it's necessarily her passion, though she could have easily said that sometime within the past few years and I could be forgetting it. I know she has always mentioned that as long as she has fans, she'll continue to release music. It's not about her, really, it's about us - us who continue to like/love her and her music.

^ Im pretty sure she said it in that CNN interview when she was releasing the Secret Album.. I could be wrong of course.

^ I know in that interview she said she'll go anywhere if she's wanted.
She also mentioned 'music is my life yada yada'
But she probably being facetious or something. :P
I love that interview, though...

it's not what I meant...u have no sense of phylosophy seeing just a superficial meaning of the sentence :innocent

what i meant is that if she quits singing and makin' music and in general participating in that world, it would be eaqual to death, not physical but more likelly emotional, spiritual, it would eventually become just existing. If you are alive doesn't mean you're LIVING.:rolleyes

Didn't she mention in one interview not that long ago, that she can imagine working in a restaurant with a normal life or something like that? If I remember right it was that 100 questions Vivi issue. Hm.

I mean, I don't want her to quit music, ever, as long as she makes good music and she's happy. But opinions can change - and Ayu has a right to live a normal life as well.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didnt realize you were being philosophical. I mean ALL the indications were there. :innocent
And as another philosophical comment about living and being alive... I don't agree. if You are alive, you are LIVING. :rolleyes

Terminally ill are alive but not living :irked

If your life doesn't have sense to you, you may be alive, but you're not living the life.

That's a matter of perspective... If I'm terminally ill I'm still alive... what I want to do with what I have left still means I'm living. If I decide to just set up in a bed and read books or just stare out into nothingness.. I'm still living. I choose to do that and live by doing that.
You are constantly LIVING. what you decide to do with that LIVING is up to you.
But its off topic... lets stay on topic.

your mother :gnash

hmm ok anyway just this



can I get Namie's staffs do this for ayu too??? before this the did this in english version and now spanish! how cool is that!

I dont like how Ayu's staffs being lazy and not so open when it comes to languange,I mean come on they already knew that Ayu got fans from all over the place, can we even get something in english like this for her 15th anniversary?? gggr, that would make this Ayu day on the 5th each month awesome

promote guys!! shes the Queen!
>.<

I'm so anxious to know what the other releases are going to be...keep going over it in my head! Need ayu trance 5...need a few rock and fast, upbeat tracks! ahhhh and a NON medium ballad, but real slow ballad, like Dearest, JEWEL, or teddy bear.

^ I think that kind of ballad is a good idea.
A ballad that ISN'T touched by Timmy or Hoshino.
Only DAI and or CREA can touch it.
