This feeling.... is this known as "love"? (Masa)
The lyrics from “is this LOVE?”, a pop-rock song by Ayumi Hamasaki, have a view on love that differs from the usual. There are no proclamations of everlasting happiness. For Hamasaki, there is a sort of worthlessness to the emotion called love. But does that make her perspective on it wrong? According to existentialism, specifically the existentialist book The Stranger by Albert Camus, Hamasaki is not necessarily wrong at all.

That would be from a paper I wrote as a high-school freshman xD Otherwise I haven't used Ayu too much. I think I might do my senior thesis comparing international pop icons though, Ayu include :wink
