Lyrics
Spoiler:
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
Quick translation from hanabiwings:
Come a little closer... Try believing a little more...
I know there were tears glistening on your cheeks
Until just a moment ago, on that smiling face
That I love best when you're smiling innocently
I won't say it's easy to show me the real you
But I have confidence I can accept this side of you, too
Hey now, in a louder voice
I wanna present you with a bigger love
I wanna make it resound in your heart
Hey now, in a louder voice
If I shout for a bigger love
I wonder if it'll reach you just a little
The long way around is just right
Cause I know we can understand one another
I get the feeling I can more or less imagine what you wanna say
Just when I think I'm facing things, I'm running away
If I say I'm not afraid, honestly it's a lie, you see
<Next line is incomprehensible to me; can't make out what she's saying>
[I've prepared for whatever may come]
Come a little closer... Try believing a little more...
You can hear this shaky, wavering pulse of mine so
I want you to come a little closer, to try believing a little more
Listen carefully to your heart
Reassuring one another has come to an end
Because we know we feel the same way about each other
We're not perfect or anything
Because we're human, my dear
But that's just fine--I really think so
Those are the parts of us that make us lovable
Hey now, in a louder voice
I wanna present you with a bigger love
I wanna make it resound in your heart
Hey now, in a louder voice
I wanna shout for a bigger love
I wonder if you felt it just a little
It's just right if we take the long way around
I'm certain we can understand one another

Report by tokyoxjapanxfan who was at the HEY!HEY!HEY! taping:

I'm back from my day in Odaiba...aka the location of Fuji Television Studio...aka where HEY!x3 was filmed ;)
So basically here's the run down (and since i'm ridiculously tired it's not going to be in depth paragraphs filled with "fluff" *i'd make my high school English teacher's proud right there haha*)
-I arrived outside the studio at around 3:30 and had to wait until 4:30 to line up.
-There were a bunch of those ayu fan's cars with pictures of her on it and lots of people who were there that weren't able to go inside. I waited around the entrance to try and see Ayu when she was getting out of her car, but she was taking too long and so I went and sat under a tree in the shade.
-We lined up *all 200 people selected, though I was number 87 ;)* in the ordinary Japanese fashion--very slowly--at 4:30 as the mail said. However, today was 32 degrees celsius/89 degrees fahrenheit and we were standing next to a glass building, which reflected all the heat onto us, in the hot, hot, hot sun, for around 45 minutes.
-Then we moved inside and stuff, not much to see, we went through all the back entrances and it was all stage setup stuff, boring. We got into a dance practice room and had to sit down. Prior to sitting down, we here handed a little HEY!x3 cellphone cleaner strap and the a-nation 09 towel. WHICH ISN'T FREE.
-They taught us how to use the towel, we had to spin it in the air when the first and third chorus is played. They take the towels back at the end of everything, but how nice--we got to keep cheap little cellphone straps haha...though, not gunna lie, they are helpful :P
-We got into the stage/performance area and I was shocked...it was a really different looking stage than I had imaged...Everyone was like... "huh? Sunrise? this stage? I don't see it." haha But I think it was going for an Atlantis feel or something. It was strange, hard to describe. But the lights were really pretty when they lit up and stuff.
-We waited for a little bit and then ayu and her male dancers walked in. I couldn't believe how close I was to her. I was in the 4th-ish row and I was like 12-15 feet away from her (i don't really know exactly...but I was closer than you can get at her concerts haha) and she was wearing an orange version of her already posted outfits and she was soooooo cute! She said a little bit like do your best and be happy and then she started singing.
-Her vocals were really good, I must say. They were strong and clear! No lipsync here ;) And we did as we were told...but not very well. We were all basically going off the person next to us haha. And so the song finished after like 3 minuts which went so fast, ayu left and then we were told that we were going to do it a 2nd time, but to be better at it haha. So we did, and then that was it...We left and ayu left and then that's it... haha
The little strips of shiny plastic were shot out during the final chorus and it was really exciting. I had a great time and it is a once in a lifetime opertunity... How many people can say they've been to a HEY!x3 filming with ayu?! hehe~~~
BTW, during the 2nd filming, I dropped my towel on the floor and couldn't spin it during the last chorus with the confetti and stuff and that's the version they're using :( I hope I won't be visible on tv during that part >_<
And also, all of her dancers had mics on and sang...BLAH. Hamasaki Ayumi and the Super Dancers.
Nice translation of the article from ViVi by tenshi no hane@AHS:
Quote:
ViVi, September 2009.
“Because we’re in this kind of era, I want to send out sparkling, cheerful and powerful things. I believe that’s my duty.”
Dressed in an flashy eighties dress, Ayu smiles, “I feel happy when I’m dressed like this”. She confidently says that her music, fashion etc. express her real essence. “If I wear basic clothes, it’ll certainly calm my mood, but if I’m not allowed to do different things, it’s just uninteresting, right? If you’re only defensive, you won’t be able to create new things.”
From the 20th century to the 21st century, in those ten years, Ayu has been leading the girls of those centuries. Whilst always showing precise answers to the doubts and problems of girls from this era, now, in her 11th year, Ayu is focusing on the tastes of certain people.
“I love the fashion of the eighties. Back then, that kind of strongly and boldly coloured patterns were widespread. Because there were no personal computers in that age, it took much time and trouble for people to make things. Now, you can easily make anything, right? For example, if it’s difficult to express one emotion with words, we convey it using pictographs, just like that right?--- But with things created in the eighties, you can feel the energy and enthusiasm of the people who made them. I think that’s a great thing.”
“When I first thought about the concept for this year’s NEXT LEVEL tour, I wanted to convey the power which people hold. That idea suddenly popped into my head.”
“When I think about organisation, up 'till now, rather than a live performance, I wanted to create an entertaining stage. But, this year, while leaving the show-like part behind, the power of the band’s performance, the liveliness of the dancers, the team, my lyrics; all those things---, I wanted to let hear and show the things which can’t be turned into machines, things which only humans can do. That feeling was very strong.”
As for this year’s 10th anniversary tour, concerning both Ayu and fans; a “thank you for these ten years” feeling of gratitude was exchanged. A feeling like some kind of ceremony beyond time. That was this year’s tour. “The people who came, laughing and crying, made me very happy; it’s a very strong feeling,” Ayu said.
A live performance with nothing but fun, happens often, but a live performance that shakes the heart, happens rarely. During the NEXT LEVEL tour, the words which Ayu created one by one, putting her entire heart into them, carried the rhythms and melodies. Especially ballads like Days became songs from the soul, as if penetrating the cells of the audience one by one. A very pure feeling.
“Lately, things like lyrics make me happy. I’m often told that it looks as if I’m pursuing a goal. I’m not conscious of it to that extent, but I can recall one thing: when I sang my lyrics in January this year, ----how should I say..?---- I can’t find a proper way to say this, but there’s a “I can do this” kind of feeling. Until now, since I’m weak in vocal range and chords, everything would disappear unnoticed----. Somehow, I feel it turned into ???. So, if it’s like that, desires will also steadily come out.”
On the 12th of August, the double A single [Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~] will be released. It’s Ayu’s new experiment, consisting of one melody but two different lyrics and arrangements.
“Sunrise is a summery, happy pop-tune, but whilst writing the lyrics I thought, “it would be nice if I turned it into a ballad, right?”. In that way, the ballad Sunset, glowing with the melancholy of the end of summer, was born.”
The subject of Sunrise is “you”, and that of Sunset is “me”. As for Sunset; I wondered if girls can sympathize with it more easily. But because I feel both songs have become each other’s ‘answer song’, I feel people can sympathize with both songs.
“Because I also wrote the songs with the theme ‘father & daughter love’ in my mind, it’s not only about romantic love, but about family love and friendship as well. I wrote the songs to fit different kinds of love.
Though I didn’t create them this way from the start, I can’t imagine them as separate anymore; both songs respond to each other.”
Ayu said, “I want to take good care of my present self”. Music, fashion, love; everything concerning Ayu is the present.
Everything continues to move forward and continues to change ---.

Monday July 6th - the date that Sunrise leaked in full.
Information about choreography and TA Members in the PVs:
Quote:
Ayu said in one message that almost 1000 people applied for participate in the PV's, but only 300 can be selected.
Also said that she has been doing a lot of dance rehearsals. The coreography of Sunrise PV is created by Zin, and the one for Sunset is created by Maro.
Ayu's comment regarding the creation of the song from Dandy Daddy's site:
Quote:
It's been a long since I've written a theme song for a TV drama, this time, to be able to receive this invitation (to write Sunrise), I feel really honored.
After reading the script and carefully understanding the feelings of the role played by -the male lead's name-, and through my own understanding, I have written these lyrics.
It's a song that gets everyone to be energized and happy, I hope everyone embraces this summer's memory, and look forward to this song.
Rough general translation/romaji of the lyrics from an amazing friend:
The love is being carried to the other person through their voice.
And it resounds in their heart.
And that growing love will call out through that voice.
motto ooki na koe de motto ooki na ai wo
kimi ni todoku yo ni itsumo mune ni hibikasetai
motto ooki na koe de motto ooki na ai wo yobu kara
-lyricized translation-
Through this growing voice, this growing love
Will reach you and always resound in your heart
I'll call out this growing love through my growing voice
Translation from TakaSama:
"With a louder voice, a greater love
Will reach you
I always want it to ring in my heart
because a louder voice will bring forth greater love"
Please do NOT post here until the other thread hits 500. Thank you.
New news: Fans who went to the MUSIC JAPAN taping yesterday [7/20] got a free a-nation '09 towel. It has the A on it with a little captain's hat on. [400 people got them!]
Photos are in the first post.
A rather pretty rendition of Sunrise by abottchen.
So they added some gaussian blurred color.. they're okay, haha. Not terrible, but not that good.
The caps script font is a NO NO NO NO NO though.

I forgot she wrote this song for Dandy Daddy...for a moment I thought it was to her long lost dad...
I cant wait to hear how Sunset is going to be...same tune!!..gosh...I hope it has the sadder tinge though...i try singing Sunrise slower and it still sounds like a happy song...
that translation really reveals what to expect for SUnset! woots...
at least now I know what ~LOVE is ALL~ means
Ayumiko
21st July 2009 12:02 PM
I actually like the font...that's one thing I like about the covers. Well the bigger pics looks a bit better but still bad...>_>...I think the cd only cover would be better if the top water part was the sky instead of the ocean.

They look way better and less cheaply edited in normal size.
The font is gorgeous.

21st July 2009 12:46 PM
oh my, the big covers howm just how horrible ayus facial expression is o.0 at least the backgrounds color looks A LITTLE better in these
And what the hell hapenned to her right breast? the shadow of it looks SO wrong!
sitara
21st July 2009 12:46 PM
whyyyyyy isn't the font placed on the top left??
so much space! and they just paste it on the busy background flowers.
needless to say, the font is ewww.
aah, ayu, how can you approve of that????? >.<;;;;
luna7996
21st July 2009 12:48 PM
I think I like the covers a little more now.
Anyway...I see a house???? in the set...
So I am expecting ayu appearing in the house in the pv acting all cute.
lol
I do not know what to expect of this pv...I sure never expected a house????

Yeah i think the font is the only nice thing on the cover.

I like the covers more than I did before. I can't wait for actual HQs. The DVD is my favorite. :)

Gkone01, thx for posting those covers up!
Ayu looks beautiful..but still the expressions of her are just..... donno...not like them at all~~
but i love the font they're using though
*°wann_ayubabies°*
21st July 2009 01:11 PM
oh i was a bit shocked or rather suprised to see the covers!!! think i will like it more after i've got used to it...anyway she looks sexy and i like the background
Tony G
21st July 2009 01:15 PM
Bigger covers definitely didn't help, only make it look much worse. How could they use these.. i still can't believe it. This looks like a demo band's CD cover.
~ayu-cake~
21st July 2009 01:15 PM
Well... they look a tiny bit better bigger o.O
Corvina
21st July 2009 01:20 PM
The covers look a bit better in big, but it's official I don't like them, they're still too fake, especially the background. :dead2
If I like Sunset and the PVs I'll buy it.
I'm really curious how Sunset will sound like.

Yeah, one of them is tolerable. but still :shakehead:o
kendelle
21st July 2009 01:24 PM
I kind of like the font better now I see it bigger but the photo just looks worse :no
Ayu's face is too dark for the rest of her body! And her hair is a bit frizzy so it looks like she's been photographed on a plain background and pasted onto the covers but they forgot to fix the more delicate parts of her hair? Blah, I still like her outfit I guess...
I would still hope the megamix title gets something more catchy before the release :shrug
Yeli13
21st July 2009 01:26 PM
ok I definitely think this is one of her worst cover ever...the background looks fake (although it's real!!) and the font is just awful. I especially don't like the way they placed it on the cover and the green shadow... Looks so amateurish.....
micster
21st July 2009 01:33 PM
So now bigger ones are out this is why for me there exceedingly bad.
Ayu's gormless expression in both, that weird green shadowy thing, her nose looks extremely shooped for no reason whatsoever, Background looks extremely weird and in the second the exposure of ears make her look like an elf.
thaaaanks :D
definitely in bigger size the covers looks so better, but i still hate them :grumpy
PoetGirl
21st July 2009 01:41 PM
dont want to comment this covers at all. i still cant believe how amateur it looks.
tokyoxjapanxfan
21st July 2009 01:42 PM
the LOVE / ALL in capped script is ugly....lol.
but meh, it's still a rather boring cover imo. is she pretty? yes. is there feeling in it? no. did i want feeling? yes. that's why i'm disappointed in it. but i'm not up in arms about it haha.
*also did anyone else realize that the song doesn't actually mention anything about summer in it?

Yeah, that's because the song it isn't about summer, it's about love and fun, with a summerish essence.

Ayu face on cd+dvd cover is better on this bigger pics ! The background is always not for me but I really like her outfit and her hairstyle !! It's still good
ayuayu798
21st July 2009 02:02 PM
I wanted the cover to be summery and fun.. but it's just too bland. I don't think it's her worst cover, but it's no where close from being her best.
I think it's her expression that bothers me the most.
maaya
21st July 2009 02:02 PM
I hate her face expression in CD but CD+DVD is better in bigger version
daybreak123
21st July 2009 02:09 PM
Thanks for posting bigger covers! I'm actually starting to like them, especially now when I saw bigger ones. :yes Her expression still is a little bit bad in both covers and the backround doesn't look real, but somehow I still like them. I like especially Ayu's hair, I love this color! I still have to agree with that the font isn't good at all...
ALPHY
21st July 2009 02:24 PM
Still gross as. And somewhat a little awkward too.

21st July 2009 02:29 PM
the cd+dvd cover looks better to me, as least i don't have to face so much of that weird looking background, it feels not right, too blury.
but BOTH ayu's expressions are just horrible, she look out of place! oh well, they are stil better then that creepy (m)u cd only cover. THAT one creeps me out.

21st July 2009 02:29 PM
After reading the lyrics, I think Ayu was trying to portray innocence with her facial expressions. It kinda worked, but it kinda didn't.
After seeing the bigger versions... the CD+DVD version looks less photoshopped. Yes, there are very obvious things that are photoshopped in both covers (her boobs, especially the right one, the bushes, the water she's standing in, etc.), but the CD+DVD one looks slightly more realistic, imo.
LacusClyne
21st July 2009 02:35 PM
i wonder did anyone mention this, but there's a bonus TeamAyu free gift for members, my japanese isn't that good, but it looks like a poster to me. Can anyone confirm what is it?
Much better bigger but still meh. Those facial expressions don't do her any justice

Hmm, I see where the innocence is supposed to come from... but wouldn't it be better if Ayu just smiled? :( Like in H or &. That would have made the cover way shinier than it is now. Her smile would have been dazzling!
Still, I suppose when the covers are in HQ maybe the background will look prettier and less fake, hopefully!

If I remember correctly, if you're a TA member and preorder through there, you get flipflops. If you preorder through mu-mo, you get a poster.

I can stand the cover now, it looked OK but still not nice though.
Ayu's expression is weird and the blur they made makes the cover fake.
The font is gorgeous still doesn't match the whole concept of Sexy Summer.
so just like glitter/fated's covers , she's also standing inside the water
cool & ok I don't have that much hatred towards the covers now . In fact I'm OK with them now & I love her outfit :luv2

ppl who order at mu-mo get a poster (you must not be a TA member if i am right) and TA members who order through mu-mo get the flip flops.

In bigger resolution, her right breast's shadow on the CD-only cover is rectangular/not round. O_o
Her face looks worse... :(
Still love the song though, and I can't wait for Sunset! :D

21st July 2009 03:24 PM
the only thing that i love from this cover (n others ayu's cds supposedly)) is that there'll be CDs with BRAND NEW SONGS on its back and thats makes me happy!!
no matter what the cover looks like..

That alone proves how lazy the team was when it went to editting. Fixing something like that is so easy. Though looking at the rest of the picture I wouldn't expect better.
She's usually so on top of style and stuff. What is she doing??? Doesn't she have control over her 'image'? Shouldn't she know how bootleg this looks?

21st July 2009 03:52 PM
I love the new "A" font on the towels ^^
Beside the awful background. i love her hair and the outfit. i just wish she use a real background. definitely not her worst cover but not her best too

The covers have somehow grown on me over time. She looks much better on the bigger versions, but the horrendous photoshopping is much more visible. It's a disgrace. And I'm with those who like the font. ^^
Hopefully we'll soon get a preview of "Sunset". ^.^

The covers have grown on to me ever so slightly. I don't love them or even like them but I've started to tolerate them.
Oh hey, True, whats up with you and Jackie all the time?

Ok, no with higher res, I'm liking the covers just a bit more. Unfortunetly the CD more than the CD+DVD (which is the one I'm getting). font is ok by me. LOVE that piano edition if Sunset is like that, we got two winners on our hands!

i wonder when we'll get the PV's. i'm really looking forward to them (Sunset more) because of that TA entry she posted about her being in front of the sunset. i have a feeling it'll be something really beautiful.

I know this probably isn't the right place for this, but since we have bigger covers could someone please re-make them with better coloring like you did with your signatures and the smaller covers, please?

Lol, wtf.
I think the font is really pretty.
And fitting.
Buuut, the backgrounds are still FUGLY.
Oh well.
I think the only opinion that's really changed for me on the covers would be Ayu herself. I think she looks pretty, and I don't really mind the over-photoshopping... Except it's obvious that she doesn't blend with the background well... s:

The larger covers look better. I like CD only more.

those covers still look bad..
but they should've shot her lying in flowers, with close-ups.
CD only with her eyes closed and CD+DVD version with her eyes open...

Somehow the larger covers look even worse I think. Only part thats good for me is the font.

I was hoping the covers looked better bigger, wow was I mistaken...
Still looks like an ugly panda. Although, I really like the text, it's pretty

Yeah, like the font too... the only thing I like in this picture! I don't have any special expectations as regards her covers, but this one is pretty bad ^^.

Sunset and Sunrise are one of the most beautiful things on earth, I'm really glad ayu have written those songs and I can't wait to hear Sunset and watch the PVs!

Now, I can judge the covers better.
Well, its was very pretty and I like the font used in it. :)
But, oh dear... what happened to her?
She looks really tired and bored. :(
Overall, it changed my first criticism to the cover.
Im now starting to love it! :D
Thanks for making this another thread!

Argh, the covers are such a disappointment. The font is not all that bad, but it seems incongruous, and its colouring and placement make it hard to read. (This seems like a mistake only someone completely unversed in design could make.) On top of that (I'm sure this has been mentioned already), the water looks fake and Ayu's boobs look Photoshop-ed. But you can't judge a CD by its cover, I guess. :shrug I still hope the PVs turn out well.

aisshhh.... we already have it people!! xDDD
well... thanks for bigger versions of the covers... I prefer the CD+DVD (and I'm buying this one...) It only looks a bit better now... but I still don't her hair and the background (the sea) and the fact that the background colors are more vivid and irreal than Ayu... and also that I can see it... the font of LOVE is ALL is crappy... don't like it... but yes the Sunrise/Sunset...

The bigger covers are still awful. What the heck is she trying to say with such a vague expression? When will we get the Sunset preview and PVs so I can forget about this monstrosity?

Lol, the font is beautiful but with "LOVE is ALL" in caps it looks so fanmade...(at least that part).
Well they are not horrible covers at all so I'll just accept them.

If the PVs are just as bad, I'm pretty sure you won't forget about it.

I kinda agree, even tho I dun like where they place the title on the cover. It's like blending in with the background and it doesn't really work well.
Plus... the bigger cover just showed how bad the photoshopping is. Like waterballoon said, ayu's right breast or its shadow is rectangular. Also, it seems like ayu's head is disproportional to her body on the CD only cover. Her head was a bit smaller compared to her body figure. Hmmn.. and do they use the paint stroke method or whatsoever to make the pic a bit blurry? I dun really like they use this effect on this cover.
And they should have photoshopped ayu's eyes as well. Hers looked quite dull..

Since the cover has part in "selling" the single itself, I wonder if sales for this will be extra low...

Let me dream! Is it confirmed that the same incompetent man shot the PVs? if not, then there's always hope.

oh god I hope not! I rather ishii direct than him....>_>
For some reason I'm more excited about the tv performances than the pvs...ayu look so cute in those TA pics!

Oh my God...SHE LOOKS EVEN WORSE!!
The bridge of her nose looks TOO defined in the CD+DVD version and those flowers...They just CAN'T be real. They looks so fake...so pasty. Like there was one layer and they just added the rest or something. Oh man, these are just awful...They aren't anywhere near the travesty that is the cover of A Song For XX, but still...They are just as cheap as the latter's was ugly.
And that expression...It is just SO lost. If I had to choose one, I'd pick the CD-only version. At least the bridge of her nose doesn't irk me as much.
