Virgin Road is fantastic!
 

Seriously!
It brought me back into the fandom after I lost interest when the NEXT LEVEL album was released. i havent looked up the lyrics yet but i love the epicness or the music, her very improved voice (which i had doubts about ever sounding this good since late 07)... gah, i'm in love with it!

Virgin Road is seriously one of her top ballads in my opinion! the chorus is like one of the best things I've ever heard in my life :heart

OMG yes! The chorus is eargasmic!

I love the way the bridge builds up to it too!

I agree completely. This is one of the best ballads from Ayu in a while, for me.
It's so emotionally charged and full of hope~

it's a nice song lol

It certainly stands out amongst the rabble of moon, blossom, seven days, other stuff.

I totally agree! It's a gorgeous, sweeping, epic etc song. The lyrics are great too, you should definitely look 'em up.

Sooo...are we just gonna create a new thread every time we decide we like a song? :innocent:thud

^seems that way~♪

I know lol

i couldn't agree more...
VR is EPIC!

One of her best songs ever for music, voice depth and power, strong lyrics, amusing PV..love it forever

^ ahh yes, not to mention Virgin Road has my favorite PV from her ever. this song and everything else that has to do with it is epic lol

Virgin Road is indeed one of my favorite ballads, I couldn't agree more. =)

Damn good ballad if you ask me, compared to her recent ones. The PV is pretty amazing too.

Virgin road is one of her BEST ballads ever...and I'm happy if I get the album =D

Hopefully not.

I really dislike it :(

Seems like it. What's the point of this thread? :rolleyes

I agree 100%! It starts off kind of average sounding and then builds into this beautiful, epic ballad! Ayu's vocals are powerful and emotional, not to mention improved by a lot :yes. I really thought that Virgin Road was a job well done! It's so distinct in comparison to Ayu's other ballads.


I think ComatoseBunnySnatcher is just expressing his/her happiness about being a renewed Ayu fan because of Virgin Road....they're not just saying 'Hey everyone I like this song!' At least, that's what I gathered from reading the first post :shrug.

expressing your love for a fantastic song. what's the big deal? it's not hurting anyone and there are way more useless threads going on than this one.

thats the truth!!!

Virgin Road is one of my top Ayu songs. its just so damn powerful. <3

What's wrong with that? I find it faaaar better than a thread being made everytime someone hates something.

I also really adore VR for a lot of the reasons people mentioned; the chorus is powerful, the melody is nice, the arrangement is great, her vocals just hit you right at the core and the lyrics are incredible, not to mention that I loved the PV to bits and found it a really great concept, also mixing a lovely but action-filled PV with a ballad like this kept things really interesting.

True...but I don't think that has happened (yet). lol

I completely agree I havnt seen lyrics for it yet but I can tell its a very powerful song and the video is amazing. Shes like Angelina Jolie in that video its very bad@$$! go Ayu!

I love Virgin Road. I've been listening to it a lot lately. I wish I could ask Ayu what she meant with certain parts of the lyrics but I'll never know~

I'm gonna go make one for Honey, because it's totally relevant.

I agree, VR is definitelly one of the best ballads she ever did :P

as for the thread, there's a "songs discussion" section on the other forum I tend to visit, maybe this place needs one too, so people could disscus every song separatelly :) at least it works there for people :)

:tired

"i'll be greatful for whatever will happen hereafter
thank You forever"

i believe virgin road is a fantastic song.

here's how i intepretate it:
the last song that is always sung or played (as an instrumental) at hamasaki ayumi's concerts is a thank you song.
this song is called who...

i believe hamasaki ayumi thanks her true love last.
"i pray this voice forever reaches You."

the wording of "virgin road" is similar to "who... "

i believe the song "m" is about her true love.
note that her true love is not "maria" !

hamasaki ayumi really identifies with maria, because she believes they both have the same true love.

this is why i believe virgin road is called "virgin road"

if you read a lot about history,

perhaps you'll see why i keep on saying hamasaki ayumi's songs are the most beautiful modern songs in the world today.
perhaps you'll understand why i think hamasaki ayumi can be considered the "jehanne d'arc of the 21st century" (free & easy)
perhaps you'll realise why all her songs have essentially the same meaning,
perhaps you'll understand why so many people love her songs.
perhaps you'll understand the meaning behind the song played before bold & delicious in "cdl 2005-2006".

perhaps you'll understand hamasaki ayumi's secret.

in all of recorded history, the woman i respect the most is maria.
in the last 1000 years, the person i respect the most is jehanne d'arc.
in the last 100 years, the person i respect the most is hamasaki ayumi

because hamasaki ayumi carries with her a truly beautiful message,
it is a message that heals decades of hatred between so many countries,
chinese, japanese, koreans, and so many people across asia and around the world all forget about ww2 when they hear her message.

you are free to choose to believe this message.
you are free to choose to believe her message.

I LOVE VIRGIN ROAD!! this song totally captured me from the very first word she uttered in the song, "Nee~"
I reallyyyyyyyy L.O.V.E the first verse in this song!!

and yes the PV's explosion go really well with the song!!
totally my favourite song and PV of the year!!

:yes and yes the PV's explosion go really well with the song!!
totally my favourite song and PV of the year!! :love

virgin road has the same meaning as her other songs, i feel.

Love Is Peace (a song is born)
Love Is Gracious And Righteous (endless sorrow)
Love Is Light (depend on you)
Love Is There (daybreak)
Love Is Full Of Compassion (forgiveness)
...
"free & easy"
"everlasting dream"

Light has come into the world (i believe this is what "a song is born" is about)

if you get the chance, watch the video clip of endless sorrow.
i believe hamasaki ayumi's secret is that she believes she's a messenger, like jehanne.
she carries with her a truly beautiful message.

i try my best, but i make many mistakes and can't really describe this message perfectly,
nor can i describe the meaning of "virgin road" perfectly.

she says this as well: "sometimes there's a certain truth that you can't explain or communicate to others"

do you hear her message?

i just heard it this morning once i woke up...It's so soft in the beginning and how the song progresses is just one of the best things ever.

His :P

Yes, it was definetly renewed. After Rule/Sparkle I had NO faith in ayu's music or voice. I followed her....but because i was more curious about her personal life lol. Moon had to start growing on me, but this song... its just perfection.

i need to look up the lyrics!
