Lyrics
Spoiler:
Translated by maikaru (post @ http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...stcount=437:):
There are sometimes I wonder
How much different
Is the scenery I can see from here
Than the one I drew in my dreams?

That time, when it was the beginning of the crossroad,
I said "It might be better to choose this way."
That time, when it was the beginning of the crossroad,
I wondered what was on the other side.

But I'm still moving forward,
And I haven't lost yet. (NOTE: Like, a fight. Not lost in the road or something)

I wonder if that person
Who, so they wouldn't get hurt,
Protected them self by pretending to be strong,
Came to laugh well?

Something that is continuously Changing,
Something that came to be changed,
And something that cannot change,
Am I able to be laughing well?

There are only nostalgic memories.
I unexpectedly went too far,
On the road that rolls on everywhere,
And when I did that, it was warm, but painful.

"What did I lose
While I was turning into an adult?"
"What is this thing that keeps multiplying,
While I'm turning into an adult?"
Even this moment when I am thinking this things,
Is also turning into the past.

I got the feeling that
The person I passed now
Resembled someone's profile
From sometime, but

Without being able
To call out for that person,
I stared at their back,
As they went far off.

But I'm still moving forward,
And I haven't lost yet.

I wonder if that person
Who, so they wouldn't get hurt,
Protected them self by pretending to be strong,
Came to laugh well?

Something that is continuously changing,
Something that came to be changed
And something that cannot change,
Am I able to be laughing well?

Kana lyrics:
ここから見えている景色は
夢に描いていた景色と
どのくらい違うのかな
なんて思う時があるよね

あの時立った分かれ道の始まり
選んだ方はこっちでよかったかなって
あの時立った分かれ道の反対
側にあったのはなんだったのかなって

それでも進み続けてる
まだ負けてなんかいないよって

傷つかない様に
強がる事だけで
自分を守っていた
アイツはうまく笑えるようになったかな

変わって行く事
変えて来た事
変えられない事
私はうまく笑えてる?

懐かしい想い出達ばかり
そこらじゅうに転がる道を
偶然通り過ぎたら
温かいけど苦しかった

大人になって行く程に失って
きたものは一体何だったかなって
大人になって行く程に増えてく
これって一体ねぇ何なのかなって
考えたこの瞬間
さえもほら過去に変わってくね

今すれ違った
誰かがいつかの
あの子の横顔に
見えたような気がしたのにどうして

声をかける事
さえも出来ないまま
遠ざかって行く
後ろ姿を見つめてた

それでも進み続けてる
まだ負けてなんかいないよって

傷つかない様にと
強がる事それだけで
自分を守っていた
アイツはうまく笑えるようになったかな

変わって行く事とか
変えて来た事とか
変えられない事
私はうまく笑えてる?

Mai82Go 7th September 2010 11:45 PM

thanks for the new thread. The PV preview for crossroad is too short to say anything about it, but I don't feel her look in this one.

miki_beland 7th September 2010 11:46 PM

Is it a preview of the pv or a preview of the qualita cm? because on the video appears a small letter saying QUALITA CM

hud 7th September 2010 11:55 PM

^ PV

truehappiness 7th September 2010 11:56 PM

It says QUALITA because it's the tie-up for crossroad. I think they usually do that at the end of her single CMs?

xLuna&1LOVE 8th September 2010 12:12 AM

Thanks for the new thread, truehappiness.
The CM looks interesting. I can't wait to see the full length.
I wish she could release the single tomorrow. Argh. Need. Some. More. Patience.

Anyway, now she has promoted crossroad on tv, I don't think it would take long for a promotion of L. At least, I hope that.

JackieRos 8th September 2010 12:16 AM

look at her lips omg :roflmao
atleast her hair looks nice

joshohhhhh 8th September 2010 12:41 AM

i think it's just the angle that makes her lips look so large.

LastAngel 8th September 2010 12:41 AM

I wonder when we'll get the Qualita CM.

Ranma Matsuri 8th September 2010 12:43 AM

^That's very good question. We've had news about that for weeks, shouldn't it be out by now? :-/

truehappiness 8th September 2010 12:45 AM

It's been out since August 25th, but I don't think anyone has captured it.

Yoake 8th September 2010 12:46 AM

I want the pv in full version now!!
I'm sure it's amazing!!

Really? :thud lol

Someone must have it somewhere... *runs to Google*

happiholic★ 8th September 2010 12:52 AM

I like the short part of the PV we have so far. Gives me a good feeling.

asmAyumi1992 8th September 2010 02:31 AM

Thanks for the new thread and the cm.

She looks gorgeous there!! But not with that hairstyle DX

nanakopy87 8th September 2010 02:36 AM

the fringe is abit weird?but i love her long hair than her short hair !
.can't wait to watch the whole PV

polka-dot-jewel 8th September 2010 02:55 AM

I think she's wearing a wig in the PV (or at least what we've seen from the PV), and it's not a very good wig. It sticks out weirdly, imo. =/ Maybe I'll grow onto it.

I do like the song a bit more now that I've heard a more HQ version of it. Can't wait to hear the rest of the song and the PV =D

Kana×Shin 8th September 2010 03:32 AM

wheres 'blossom' PV or CM, no news for it yet...?~~

tokyoxjapanxfan 8th September 2010 05:12 AM

the cm is such a tease!! haha
it's like...15 seconds?!?! haha

i cant wait to see more :love

Only one song there, and not even including the "blossom" PV, which includes Tohoshinki's (Hero Kim Jaejoong) Jejung, not Ayu herself.

rakeru 8th September 2010 05:29 AM

They loooove to taunt us in the weeks preceding singles. Can't we have a few shots of the PV, or at least a 30s clip?

Pieces_of_SEVEN 8th September 2010 06:08 AM

wow...exactly three weeks to L and no info yet!

LacusClyne 8th September 2010 06:30 AM

^yes! and i kept refreshing TA site so much!!!!

RyRyMini 8th September 2010 06:45 AM

Her hair looks...faux.

polka-dot-jewel 8th September 2010 07:07 AM

They're probably waiting to start the "crossroad" promotion before bringing up anything L-related. Maybe we'll see the covers and / or the tracklisting next week?

ikr! :thud

Idk which reasoning for the hold up would be worse, if they're just holding out info so crossroad can get all the attention or if they just STILL haven't decided on the tracklist. :dead2

adantatu2 8th September 2010 07:30 AM

I love the pv preview, she looks gorgeous !!!!!!
Now i can't wait for the full pv,
i don't care blossom

blossom isn't one of the main tracks on the single, so it makes perfect sense it's not included in the CM.

GORGEOUS!!!

Ryan_968 8th September 2010 09:39 AM

I dread Crossroad. I feel like the composition is horrible. I miss how brilliant her works used to be. I like she's releasing lots of stuff quickly, but I feel like what she's releasing is crud.

Her last two singles seem to be more tests with old composers than anything...

(Yasuhiko Hoshino and now Tetsuya Komuro, both not used for almost 9 years or so?)

I wonder what the song Kikuchi worked on will sound like? Perhaps the next album will be a "blast to the past" when it comes to composers?

I will stick the images posted in the first post now!

toniayu 8th September 2010 09:46 AM

@LostHeaven thank you so~much :D

Yoake 8th September 2010 10:17 AM

thanks LostHeaven.^^

Nackar_91 8th September 2010 10:17 AM

I know it's only an extremely short preview, but I hope to God it's more than Ayu sitting in a dark room, crying/fixated on something.

Suteisi 8th September 2010 02:23 PM

At this point I just hope it's better than MOON. Boring PV. Bleh.

Bigtop 8th September 2010 02:37 PM

I hope so, especially her hair is quite long (sorry, but they're hair extensions, but they do remind us of the bygone era - RAINBOW era, JEWEL/Secret/A BEST 2 era) in the PV...

Kagome-chan 8th September 2010 02:42 PM

LOL the tracklist in the official site is still the old one!

JackieRos 8th September 2010 03:32 PM

I can not wait for L covers

inspire_rmx 8th September 2010 03:49 PM

her long hair in the PV is a nice change from her recent short hair =) cant wait to c the entire PV

Pieces_of_SEVEN 8th September 2010 04:26 PM

I don't think I like her wig in the crossroad PV lol

amorphose 8th September 2010 04:33 PM

I'm curious to hear SEVEN DAYS WAR and see the blossom PV. I really could care less about crossroad. The composition is awful.

Bring on the "L" info! :D I don't even need a tracklist or covers; I just wanna know the descriptions of the three songs!

Pieces_of_SEVEN 8th September 2010 04:35 PM

^^I think we'll get it by the end of the week.
I wonder if Avex has something up their sleeve...

love in music 8th September 2010 05:05 PM

the crossroad PV preview looks ****ing amazing! :thud
oh ayu, you just keep getting better and better with each release :heart

ストロボ・EdGE 8th September 2010 05:43 PM

I think the CM should have had a clip of blossom, to get the word out even more of Jejung starring in it...

That would seem a little "desperate" if you ask me. It's not his single, they're not even collaborating. He's just staring in the PV of a song that was released on the last single. Plus he's promoting it on his site as well so hardcore fans of his already know and we (Ayu fans) know. It was in the newspapers and everything. Putting out a CM about it would be a little overkill.

I agree with you...

primavera♥ 8th September 2010 06:37 PM

Well I'm personally okay with just crossroad in the cm. Its pretty dark and lovely looking so far. I'm digging that from ayu lately. So I hope the whole pv is cool

Also, I really think its about time for the L info. Like. I really hope soon

waterballoon 8th September 2010 07:02 PM

Oh pls it's crossroad single i think the main song is crossroad and not a pv of a previous' single's song...

Hm yeah, from that angle it makes perfect sense and it probably is best that it was left out then.

AyUmIXx 8th September 2010 09:26 PM

it's good that avex put crossroad PV Preview as part of the CM..rather than to put blossom PV~
if not, it's going to be a chaos again LOLOLOL~~
maybe later, they're going to add a Preview of blossom PV but i highly doubt it too..
I just wish crossroad PV should be longer than that..i mean the scenes...

C+R+E+AYUMI 8th September 2010 09:43 PM

I don't believe they will put a preview of blossom...i'm rather convinced that it will be a surprise until the release date

ton_ton 8th September 2010 10:01 PM

It would be weird to put the blossom pv as the cm, crossroad is the main song so I feel that it needs to get promoted more. Otherwise it feels more like promoting jaejoong than crossroad lol (I don't mind really though haha).

But she looks great in the pv, can't wait to see both blossom (jae <3) and crossroad ^^

AyumiAi 8th September 2010 10:17 PM

ahhh the preview looks amazing|!! :) cant wait!!

I think they did it on purpose :laugh Like said above, blossom isn't included on the single and crossroad needs more promotion. Also, I think everybody already knows he is starring in the PV, since the news spread as fire among Ayu and Toho fans :laugh And if they don't air the PV, JJ and Toho fans have to buy the single to see the PV :P And they will :innocent

jessy 8th September 2010 11:34 PM

why is the english lyric so strange? makes me confusing

LizBrazil 9th September 2010 12:24 AM

A Japanese friend on twitter said they aired a CM for blossom PV a few minutes ago. We'll have to wait until someone uploads it to see it :)

[I asked why she said "Ah... Jejung.." (あーーーージェジュン)]
"i just saw a teaser of ayumi hamasaki's MV!! jejung is in there, u know!! ^^" (Tweet)
"it was just aired on tv so we hv to wait until someone uploads it :(" (Tweet)

adantatu2 9th September 2010 12:42 AM

can't wait, but i prefer the full pv for crossroad, it looks interesting

Ehm, well. When they promoted STEP you/ is this LOVE?, they also showed for, let's say 5 seconds, a little part of my name's WOMEN PV.
Maybe they will make another CM for crossroad with a 5sec promotion of the blossom PV, like what they did in 2005 (?)

We'll see. I'm kinda disappointed that Ayu is not featuring in this pv.

Keiichi_JPU 9th September 2010 01:05 AM

Frankly I couldn't care less for the blossom PV. Ayu isn't it, so I won't consider it part of her videography. Unless it will be directly linked / mirrored to another PV, like MOON or Crossroad.

(on the other hand, the Connected PV was quite amazing. But then again it was animated, so she couldn't possible play in it. Although I've always considered the girl who jumps from the building onto the motorcycle to be Ayu. Rewatching and loving it :luv2)

LizBrazil 9th September 2010 01:33 AM

Endless sorrow didn't have Ayu in it either, except for the last few seconds :rolleyes The little kid featured in that PV. Just give blossom PV a chance. If you don't like it after seeing it, then so be it :yes Don't judge a book by its cover.
If I knew the news of a possible CM for blossom PV would have started the "I hate blossom PV because Ayu isn't in it" talk again, I wouldn't have posted the news at all. We have former threads full with those complaints and please don't fill this one with such comments again. Let's focus on discussing new things (not things that have been discussed in former threads).

AyumiAi 9th September 2010 01:38 AM

As long as the pv is good and has ayu song im good :)
plus AYU is AYU!
if that made any sense? im just excited for whatever she released ;p

Ranma Matsuri 9th September 2010 01:40 AM

Ok cool but.... I'm not sure why blossom would need a separate CM? Why not tack it to crossroad? But ok... XD

se7entheaven 9th September 2010 02:26 AM

am I the only one who doesn't like crossroad and blossom? The songs I mean

Polyrhythm 9th September 2010 03:07 AM

^Probably not. I can handle crossroad but blossom is bleh.....

truehappiness 9th September 2010 03:23 AM

Instead of a CM, they probably meant the preview that was on entertainment news...?

Lanz16 9th September 2010 05:33 AM

I just seen the clip and it was good!
Too bad Ayu wasn't there :(

Jaejoong is a good looking guy, nee?
If he paired with Ayu, it would be an epic win! :)

Kanzaki 9th September 2010 06:01 AM

Wait and see guys. She might be in there after all, you don't know it for certain if she is or not yet. I find it hard to believe that Ayu can keep herself unseen in it completely. I mean, did she ever do that before?

Gkone01 9th September 2010 07:16 AM

I'm not sure, but i think that a L's song will be use as theme song for a sweet cm
http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20...00002-oric-ent
If anyone can translate this news ?

truehappiness 9th September 2010 07:19 AM

Yeah, it says that an untitled song will be the theme song for Sweet and will start airing this month.

I think it also reads that she'll be in Sweet for two months in a row?

Yay! More songs and more magazine covers?

(The song will be a medium ballad though.)

Mirrorcle Monster 9th September 2010 07:34 AM

So we have a medium ballad....¿What's a medium ballad?

It's what MOON and crossroad are. -whistles-

tokyoxjapanxfan 9th September 2010 07:37 AM

Oh, that's an interesting tie-up...

I didn't even know sweet had CMs...

Any, the CM is supposed to air today so I turned my TV on haha.

Mirrorcle Monster 9th September 2010 07:38 AM

I'm going to school now, and i think we will be full of news when i'm back,¡Hope so!

Yeah, it seems rather weird. Maybe it's a celebration CM of some sort? "We're printing over a million copies this issue so whoooo!"

That's the only valid reason I can think of, haha.

love in music 9th September 2010 07:39 AM

i really hope someone will record it asap. i hate how slow ayu fans are with things :( we still didn't even get that qualita CM

nanakopy87 9th September 2010 08:14 AM

they were fast but i don't know why suddenly they are slow in uploading ayu's video since beginning of this year?

C+R+E+AYUMI 9th September 2010 08:22 AM

my enthusiasm after watching the preview grew up..i already like the song, now blossom PV could be something very promising :yes

i'm happyyyy!! can't wait for the CM

How weird, haha.

thatstacey 9th September 2010 11:54 AM

When I was in Japan earlier this year, the commercial for sweet's May issue played, like, a dozen times during one of our train trips. If nothing else, Ayu will have a captive audience. :p

AyUmIXx 9th September 2010 12:55 PM

can't wait for the CM !
wanna hear the new song so bad!

freedreamer 9th September 2010 01:12 PM

I hope the new medium ballad is the one Kazuhito Kikuchi made :) (lol i know there's just SO MUCH ballads in Ayu this year hahah)

looking at those CMs, i wonder if it's just going to be a little bit of the instrumental from the song.

miroro 9th September 2010 06:24 PM

where's the cm? :(
i need it

rakeru 9th September 2010 07:33 PM

Hopefully this CM will be a little more interesting-- magazine content-centered (meaning Ayu!), not purse-centered.

~ayu-cake~ 9th September 2010 08:42 PM

I can honestly say.... I think these are my most disliked covers from Ayu...
:(
Oh no...

Pieces_of_SEVEN 9th September 2010 09:48 PM

^^ S/S wins for me.

love in music 9th September 2010 09:58 PM

(miss)understood CD only wins for me. i put the photobook on top to cover it up. :P

Mirrorcle Monster 9th September 2010 10:30 PM

(m)u Cd only is worst ever.

The one where she looks like she is picking her nose.:thud

its just sad because m(u) era she had such amazing hair.

crossroad is fine, the pv looks insane good. love the hair.

jbrat2219 9th September 2010 10:48 PM

I wasn't around AHS during the (m)u era but I would have loved to have seen the flames of wrath that would have come from this place over those covers! :roflmao

Mintkisses 9th September 2010 10:57 PM

Even a photo from the Ayu :heart NY photo shoot in ViVi mag (?) would have made FANTASTIC covers for (m)u. Alas, fail.

AyumiAi 9th September 2010 11:24 PM

Mm cant wait for the CM! :) i didnt know vivi released cm's thats so weird like
a magazine ad usually magazinse advertise other things themselves
so its an advertisement for a product that advertises other things cool! :P

rakeru 9th September 2010 11:30 PM

Wouldn't it be great if she ever explained her cover choices, like on the TA blog or something? Because so many of them drive us crazy. I, like pretty much everyone else, want to know who thought her dead-behind-the-eyes S/S covers weren't shameful and that the m(u) smile was acceptable.

Ranma Matsuri 9th September 2010 11:38 PM

^lol that'd be awesome XD

AyumiAi 9th September 2010 11:47 PM

http://www.allkpop.com/2010/09/previ...pv-for-blossom
preview for blossom pv!!!
looks amazing! yet kind of predicatable with the story but still :)
so excited!

LastAngel 9th September 2010 11:52 PM

Seeing the preview makes me think that blossom is tied in with a drama or something even though it's not.
