The meaning of "JEWEL"

I also query myself about the true meaning of JEWEL. Is it true that this JEWEL means something PRECIOUS, rather than JEWELLERY??~

Yes, go look at the translation under the news section.

i agree, something precious.

yeah she sings "My precious treasure" that's like "my precious jewel" ;) and she's obviously singing about someone dear to her in this song

Tomoya was her HONEY, now he's also her JEWEL.

Unless this song is dedicated to someone else that she cares about very much.

The song's about obsessive-compulsivenes:

Quote:

Under the grey and square sky
Is filled with all kinds of desire today
But I don't lose sight of the light among them
And can walk, looking forward
Because you always show me
That there remains a purity even in a corner of this city

She's in an horrible mood, obsessive with the desire of acquiring a new brilliant jewel for her collection. She's just seem in an ad the new jewel store that has just recently be open in the corner of the city, and there she can ease her hunger for getting the newest item for her material needs.

Quote:

Breathing calmly, I looked at you
Who had fallen asleep, so exhausted
The sweet, unprotected profile
That no one in the world but me knows

There she is, looking at the shining jewel resting lonely in its case, ready to soon be bought and make a part of her collection. She has such an egoistic desire of having that damn jewel only for her and her only.

Quote:

One day when the sunlight poured and the wind blew gently
As if it were nothing special
I felt alone that something was changing in me
Slowly, firmly and surely

Though I wasn't sad at all, tears fell down
Because your feelings sank painfully into
The scar in the depth of my heart
And changed it into tenderness

If you come across deep sorrow
I wish you will share it with me
I'll be able to do anything for the smile
My precious treasure
My precious treasure

That's the feeling an obsessive compulsive person has when they finally get what they wanted so much. It's such a touching song :weep

:laugh

^Hahahaha, you're awesome.

If you're to make your own interpretation I think that using evoluseans translation would be a better bet, it's a direct translation and not already interpreted, like masas.

LMAO. I can imagine Ayu the treasure hunter. :laugh

Could the JEWEL be her... baby ?

Quote:

Breathing calmly, I looked at you

This line could refer to a baby's...nap.

Quote:

The sweet, unprotected profile
That no one in the world but me knows

= she hasn't announced she was pregnant yet.

Quote:

I felt alone that something was changing in me
Slowly, firmly and surely

Yes it takes 9 months, and pregnancy brings physical and mental changes...not to mention a future mother is the only one to feel these changes.

Quote:

My precious treasure
My precious treasure

That line screams "BABY!BABY!" to me, LOL.

immel

14th October 2006 08:48 PM

I've been telling you people all along that she's gonna have a baby! :laugh

ayu1m

14th October 2006 08:48 PM

lol, that actually could make sense :laugh

maneayu

14th October 2006 09:07 PM

LOL that's so funny xD
Maybe that's why she gain a little weight in the past summer.

terra

14th October 2006 11:45 PM

GOD! you guys couldn't stay out saying she's pregnant....
But it's not impossible though...If it is I wonder how's the baby looks like

It's hard to say, but she really needs a rest and a holiday...I see her been workin' too much

JEWEL is great, luv the lyrics...it's so...Me, I mean match it with my mood today

You know what?

I bet it's about her dogs.

immel

15th October 2006 02:57 AM

Yes, her dogs must be pregnant!

truehappiness

15th October 2006 02:58 AM

I wonder if any of her songs have been dedicated to her little canines <33

If CREA or Marron like, dies.. OMG I'm gonna cry :<

Maybe she'll start releasing melancholic songs just like her older stuff LOL

truehappiness

15th October 2006 03:01 AM

Nah, she'll probably go on hiatus for a year due to 'personal problems'. :|

immel

15th October 2006 03:35 AM

The dogs are probably going to die pretty soon, they've been around for so many years already.

She'll disappear from the face of earth.

And she's still pregnant!

ha ok besides the fact that she is "pregnant" or "looking at jewelry in a jewelry shop",from what i got out of this song was,that shes moving on from a pain she has about something she truely cares about.
Though I wasn't sad at all, tears fell down
Because your feelings sank painfully into
The scar in the depth of my heart
And changed it into tenderness
it sounds like she is saying that she cares about something very much and now she feels like she needs to move on and stop holding on to the past
One normal day, with sunlight pouring in
And the gentle wind swaying,
I felt on my own that something was certainly changing,
Softly, but strongly, inside of me
and shes moving on but it will always stay as her precious treasure.
I'll be able to do anything for the smile
My precious treasure
My precious treasure
well thats what i got out of it :P what do u guys think??

Plus doesn't she talk about how fat they are? Fat and old is not health-friendly.

truehappiness

15th October 2006 03:57 AM

I think they've been around since her debut.. so..

Perhaps the ones we know of.. are 'MARRON v.2'.. and CREA v.2..
I don't think she's 'unaware' that they might pass..
I think they might've died already, and the ones we see are actually replacements, as stated before :p

Not that I remember from the subtitled stuff I've seen ... but they are, at least MARRON, very much ... so yeah.

They're DOOMED. OH NOES.

Possibly, but MARRON looks so old so I think it's the real stuff.

truehappiness

15th October 2006 04:02 AM

Well.. yeah.

I just think that Ayu won't make too much a big deal.. cause these dogs are like, what OLDDD if they're the same ones from her ASFXX days.. :<

Chihuahuas live longer than bigger dogs though. :P

15th October 2006 06:45 AM

As you all said, this song may be dedicated to her INFANT. From what I notice, this song not only possesses dedication, but also obsession as well. Will it possible that AVEX enforced ayu to go for abortion>?

alt.total-loser

15th October 2006 06:50 AM

Um. It's possible that it could be because she's pregnant iguessugh, just like it's possible of other things. .__. She confuses me. And I thought small dogs usually lived for like, 15 years or something. Which means they would only have a few years left, anyway.

ronin542001

15th October 2006 07:29 AM

I doubt she'd have an abortion. Avex would totally make her have the baby and sell it on ebay. They'd rake in a fortune. XD

evolusean

15th October 2006 08:09 AM

^ On that note, everybody be careful of bootleg ayu babies. If you're gonna buy one, buy the real deal.

Collect 'em all. Like Beanie Babies <3

"Gotta catch 'em all!"

...or something like that.

If anyone needs help judging if an eBay Ayu baby is the real thing, I'm here for you.

If so, then immel's got a bunch already :<
