Yeah Tony G I know what you mean.

I think avex (max especially) had put in a lot of effort to groom ayu. She had much more control over the production than i thought. And they actually drove her around for 4 hours while she wrote trust lol... They were really good to her. I'm glad.

awesome

thanks a lot!

it was always brings me joy when I read anything about Ayu, especially the past Ayu when I really felt connected to her through her lyrics. And I always like present, even until now, it always makes me think that i have everybody around me and that i should give them thx. Thx very much for this awesome translation.

Thanks very much for posting the translated liner notes. I feel I have a better grasp of her album now and Ayu's thoughts really cleared up some stuff for me.

Mm, definitely an awesome interview. Rereading time!

that was interesting to read! thanks for this! :love

Wow, this is awesome! It just shows you how much she's really changed.

Thanks for putting this up!

wow thanks this makes me appreciate that first album more than ever and how much I can identify myself with her.

Thanks, I will read this! ^^

I also love present, i'm glad i'm not alone. It seems that many people on this forum don't like that song but i find it so cheerful in an innocent and measured way.

wow... nice post...

Great post! Thanks for sharing! Now I'll look at that CD with a different perspective...
I also have the image of Kaori Mochida with that album! hahaha!
I love the way she works in her songs, like in Powder Snow, I'm surprised that she decided so many musical things...

evolusean must have much time to translate this. Anyway, thanks for this (^_^)

I believe he's been busy since sending me this last year, so.. I don't believe he has any time any more. Last time he popped by here was almost a year ago!

she is simply awesome. that's why I love Ayumi Hamasaki no matter how hard I complain on her :)

It's nice to hear how she feels about her album.

OMG..
this is such a cool interview, i haven't knew 'bout this be4...
Thx 4 posting it ^^

Very insightful interview!But we are talking about Ayu so that's not surprising.The album's concept has grown a lot on me.Her sincerity is too dazzling - a term that she often uses in her songs.

Does anyone have the liner notes for Loveppears?
