thanks for the last part of interview.^^

i love it! i love her phrases. so deep and to the heart. i especially love:

"...After making a choice, people often feel lost and wonder 'Did i make the right choice?'. For me, I often think of what could have happened if I didn't make the choices i've made."

and

"Think hard, and reason will sway your judgment. So I don't... I think you've already decided from the very start. And when you make a decision, haven't you already had an answer in mind from the beginning?"

also, how she says that, if you have everything, wouldn't that be boring? what a philosopher she is!!!!

these have totally encouraged me. so perfect for the moment i'm in with big decisions. she is soooo right! :]

and yes, to sing for yourself doesn't get you too far, especially in terms of music that touches people. nothing will connect people to listen to your music!

thanks misa!

This was really lovely one~
I love the way japanese magizines write about the artists, it's so..gentle and beautiful.
And I love Ayus answers<3

I love how she presents herself as almost childishly girly here - always so worried about how pretty she looks and whatnot. I hope she knows that she's absolutely stunning no matter what she does and she need not worry so much!

But it's nice to know she doesn't mind going without makeup at home and stuff. I like that she's so quick to reassure us that underneath everything she's still real. :]

just got around to reading this one...and its quite good! i love how much like a normal person ayumi really is. :yes

thanks again Misa!

Thanks Misa~ She always so sweet ♥

Very interesting interview, thank a lot for the translation.

thanks

thanx for the translation! going to read them!!

I'm really liking this interview. I feel that she is showing more of her true self now, which just baffles me because it's amazing how we've been with her for 12 years, but there is still more mystery about her that unfolds before us.

I love her, an dI have to say my feelings towards her are changing. I'm really starting to love her more as a person than an artist now. She's very wise and inspirational.

Thankyou very much!!:)
