CREA - was one of her dog's name~
used CREA because....
what was it? she didn't want it to affect "ayumi hamasaki" name?? I forgot~ someone remind me XD

Sorry for being ignorant but who is DAI? And CREA always collaborate with DAI?

DAI is a composer? I think.

LOL. :P This is one confused thread.

I thought DAI stands for Do As Infinity or something like that...

I wonder why she used CREA

..and you call yourselves fans :no

:laugh j/k

CREA is Ayu's pen name, after one of her dogs, right? and Ayu has collaborated many times with DAI (Do As Infinity) to produce music.

^ You learn something new everyday! :D Arigatou!

CREA is one of her dog's names. :D

Some of CREA's songs are:

Dolls

I BELIEVE that's all of them. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. :D

evolution is by CREA too... http://www.eneabba.net/ayu/050.evolution.htm

^You forgot Will (CREA+DAI)

She started using the name "CREA" because when she composed her first song (M) she didn't know if the composition was good or bad, so she just decided to hide herself under a pen name so that she wouldnt look horrible if people hated it.. But after all it turned out to be one of her most beloved songs..

She said at first she only told a few people that she composed M, but later people in avex found out about it and put lots of pressure on her to compose ALL her songs.. Which might be a reason why she doesn't compose so much anymore, because now she has more freedom and she had a tramatic start.

According to masa's site, from an article (Rockin .. something.. Japan interview), Ayu said that with M she thought it was enjoyable work and thought that she might like to do it every now and then, but when the pressure came from avex to compose all her songs, she was so stressed and exhausted from all the extra work it took.. She said that she was crying while composing NEVER EVER and Endless Sorrow because she desperately needed a rest. I guess it was too much work until she started composing with DAI

yes CREA is Ayus pen name which is the name of one of her dogs. I heard she used that coz when she composed her first song (M) she wasnt confidence enough that it would be good (I dunno ppl would start some kind of hype and will have some kind of expectation from her and she doesnt want that?)

I think DAI is that guy from Do as infinity

Yep that's what I heard too, she was afraid people wouldn't like it so she choose to remain anonymmous. But I guess it was revealed pretty quickly.

Well CREA's a cool name in the end ^__^. I remember my friend was all "ayu's DOGS compose her music?!" when we first heard about this.

and D.A.I i guess would stand for Do As Infinity being there are dots in the middle, but in the end it's just Dai Nagao from the band and not the whole team. I think he's a really good composer and a lot of my favorite ayu songs are ones he did.

DAI dosent stand for Do As Infinity. If you didn't know, The inititials of the man who produces/composes for Do As Infinity's initials are DAI. The band was named after him.
