We're putting Ayu lyrics in perspective!

this article was posted in 2007 in one of the gyaru (subculture everyone knows who they are, right?) magazines

I always knew they adored Ayu, so here's one of the articles about her, check it out

Quote:
She's a Charisma Gal, in both the Fashion scene and music scene, and she lives the Charisma lifestyle--We are talking about Ayumi Hamasaki. Ayu's famous works are numerous!☆Her musical compositions are not merely melody but are supported by her moving lyrics...sometimes moving to tears...a lot of people agree.

She made her debut April 4th, 1998 with [Poker Face], The song was an explosive hit, because of the real feelings obtained from the lyrics she gained a lot of support from women who could relate to them and thus many people became attracted to her.♪Ayu's activities does not stop with just music but she was also chosen as Nail Queen and Best Jeanist(☆∀☆).

Furthurmore she has been able to enter 2 palaces! Anyhow, everyone knows that she has participated in a large range of activites and is doing various things, so now we expose what the Gals chose for her number 1 musical composition...

You might know this as the song she sung at her [Last Live]!! The song is [WHO]~(´∀`)ノ!!

This song was recorded on the Album [Loveppears], Love and Appears being mixed into 1 word, Ayu personally made that word(≧∀≦)! This word contributes to her outward image and appearance, and many people choose to judge either "Good way" or "Bad way" but actually there is no significant or complex meaning behind it☆. As one would expect she grasps the hearts of many, and she grasp many hearts of the Gals.

Don't judge off of appearance, look at what is important such as the heart okay (o´д`o)

and on the CD jacket of Loveppears it's white AYU and for her 11th single release of Appears it was Black Ayu! However now a days both black Gals and White Gals exist I'm sure they are talking about Ganjiro and Ganguro and not African American and Caucasion XDD. Back in the days being able to pull off both extremes was very skillfull and ones appearance really contributed to your popularity and could set trends(*・▽・).

We were really suprised this time about the ranking because all of the musical compositions are romanized! Like her 5th album titled "Rainbow" it's just like Ayu's main point being that there are various colors to her. like she can convey various styles, looks etc.

that's really cool how they took some 'deeper' meaning into her covers. The article in itself was really refreshing to read

I'm glad to see that people love ayu from her lyrics....I think it's the best parts of her songs...I'm falling all over in love again with her LOVEppears album because it's that amazing <3...

nice article
but i don't see much relation of the thread title to it it's more like putting Ayu's covers into perspective, rather than lyrics

nice article, but poker face was no big hit, her first thing you could cale a huge hit was A Song for XX, seeing how her singles supporting that album kind of failed charting
