「Nonfiction」

words : ayumi hamasaki
music : Hisashi Koyama
arrangement : tasuku


Zzz... 浮かない顔してるのは
鏡のあなた自身
この頃ちょっと狂いすぎてる
だから嘘はすぐにめくれる

引き換えに犠牲にした
モノとかあるのかなって
マジで言ってんなら
Are you kidding me

成功が人生のゴールですか?
その成功って何ですか?
枠にはまらないのは罪ですか?
その他大勢なら安心ですか?

So oh 独りは確かに孤独だけど
自由も無限だった
制限されるにつれ分かったのは
なんにしろ孤独は消えない

正直もんがバカをみる
なんて良く言ったもんだわ
鵜呑みにするなら
You're full of shit

人の幸せが嫉ましいですか?
見えてるのは全てでしょうか?
画面上だけで決めてませんか?
果たしてそれはリアルでしょうか?

You say 「No!」「No!」
what you don't believe
生きるのは誰だってしんどい
I say 「Yes!」「Yes!」
what I do believe
We gotta be careful what's fiction

What you do believe

成功が人生のゴールですか?
その成功って何ですか?
枠にはまらないのは罪ですか?
その他大勢ならOK?

人の幸せが嫉ましいですか?
見えてるのは全てでしょうか?
画面上だけで決めてませんか?
果たしてそれはリアルでしょうか?

You say 「No!」「No!」
what you don't believe
完璧じゃないから美しい
I say 「Yes!」「Yes!」
what I do believe
We gotta be careful what's fiction

The cover is horrible lol But I’m so glad we’re getting new music and I’m sure we’ll get some singles until autumn. She announced the album quite a lot in advance so I hope she delivers

CeReSu 6th April 2022 02:30 PM

Happy for a new song soon !!
Cover is nice but very retouched (thanks photoshop lol)

Machiko 6th April 2022 02:32 PM

SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL !!!

voguehoney 6th April 2022 02:33 PM

The cover photo very like Namie Amuro:roflmao

But I want quickly to hear new song:luv2

krtman2002 6th April 2022 02:42 PM

Omg I can't wait to listen to it. And knowing she is releasing a new album in autumn... aaaaahh. Can't wait!!

Most of the digital singles from avex are terrible and ugly...

I saw this on insta from someone and instantly thought it was fake, someone's bad attempt at photoshoping her face onto another body. Graphic design was never a strong side of j-pop, but at least they tend to get the styling and a picture right, but this, this is so BAD. LOL Cool that we'll have new music, although the description "dance tune" doesn't sound very promising. But yay for new music!

Katsuyuki012 6th April 2022 03:42 PM

I like the cover. I'm really glad she used this look for the single because my first thought after seeing the new photo from the café was "please use this look for a single/EP/album cover". :heart
I would've placed the font elsewhere, but I still think it's nice. :)

Cahz- 6th April 2022 03:52 PM

The cover gives me random anisong singer vibes lol
Glad for the new music!

Exactly this. Even the hair looks bad lol Like Ayu you’re one of the richest women in the world, you can afford getting a decent hairdresser that knows how to properly use a curling iron. I just hope that the album cover is creative and not just a “beauty” shoot (I don’t find this beautiful hence the use of “ “ ). Mind you, I wouldn’t complain if it was a pic of an object/landscape and not her on the cover.
Edit: omg, how much I missed complaining about her releases. God bless she’s back

Music wise, I’m glad she’s trying new genres. I’m sure it is going to be a bop which is exactly what we need.

Aderianu 6th April 2022 04:06 PM

Promo pic is better than this cover :/
And R&B! I hate it :/

Katsuyuki012 6th April 2022 04:18 PM

I don't know how many people here already heard the song (from the concert), but I'd personally say that it's not really much of an R&B track at all. I think the description is rather misleading in that sense.

M.A.X. 6th April 2022 04:21 PM

God this cover is so awful. The promo pic is sooo much better. But anyway, I’m so happy to have new music. Can’t wait to hear it !!!

Uknow! 6th April 2022 04:30 PM

I love the song tbh I'm so happy about this release, it's my jam and I agree it's not R&B at all.

It sounds NEXT LEVEL electric + Party Queen vibe

Toniayu123 6th April 2022 04:36 PM

^thank you!
https://mobile.twitter.com/lastangel...22963002490883 Found this on Twitter, even though it’s fan made it would’ve been a great cover

Katsuyuki012 6th April 2022 04:39 PM

^I don't think that's fanmade. As far as I'm concerned, it's an exclusive wallpaper that attendees were able to download.

Ayu just uploaded it to Twitter, as well: https://twitter.com/ayu_19980408/sta...xgvPR1Zkg&s=19

Toniayu123 6th April 2022 04:48 PM

Really??? I love this one
