Which lyrics would YOU put on a shirt?

I was thinking about the TA TOUR shirts, and how much I love them. Even so, I feel like Step by step and July 1st are odd choices. I just don't think they sound extremely appealing. I think there could have been better choices made, but I get why they chose those songs.

So...which lyrics would you have chosen to go on the TA Tour shirts?

I think these would have been great choices:

"I hold it all in my hands" -Fly high

"Who can stop us, now that we've begun to shine?" -Boys & Girls

"Because all of us, everywhere, are connected" -Connected

"No matter how far apart we are, don't forget that we're under the same sky" -Daybreak

"You can't ask to be healed without fighting first" -Real me

"You'll never get anything by just looking at it" -Catcher in the Light

"Bold & Delicious" -Bold & Delicious lol

"I know that without you, I'm not me" -Microphone

"Don't look back" -Don't look back lol

"I want to send you a bigger love, in a louder voice" -Sunrise (Maybe...)

"The future screams at me, It's not time to give up yet!" -Tell all

"There is one thing right here that will never change" -The Show Must Go On

What are your choices?!

They meet again somewhere today,
those two people who understand each other - Scar

Maybe we're not thinking anything
at all; instead we're feeling everything. - girlish

We are meaningless
Unless we stay to be ourselves - we wish


I like many of her lyrics,but also think that most of those I like wouldn't exactly be the right kind for those shirts.

This is hard because Ayu has so many good lyrics so I've stuck to ones that make sense on their own and could fit on a t-shirt! I think they chose July 1st because it may be a fan favourite?

Everything must surely be in this hand
If I don’t move on, nothing will move
Fly high

The sun is already rising, I really need to go
I can’t stay forever in the same place
A Song for XX

Listen closely, because I’ll continue screaming until it reaches you
I’ve always been here
I am...

Yes, I’ll stand up again and again
If there’s a wall, I’ll just destroy it
INSPIRE

If you are afraid of change
Then watch from a distance
Alterna

This is the first and last time
You get the chance to live as yourself
(miss)understood
Maybe...

Yes, I saw the end of an era
With my own eyes
But I didn’t want to know
That it will be my turn next
Duty

Stand up without fear
And tear off that mask
Marionette

Now talking seriously, I can't really pick lyrics rn cause usually I like two or three whole verses, for a tee it should be something shorter but still impactul

The ones that came to my mind now where "Nothing will start by hesitating" from Tell All and "My love for you is my last courage" from momentum

^ HAHAHA. omg. That's perfect.

I'm going to pick lyrics that always harmonized/chimed with me in English that would still be appropriately themed for a concert shirt, which doesn't leave me with a lot to pick from, lol.


"This feeling, this feeling, go up into the sky
And be dispersed beautifully like a firework"
- HANABI ~episode II~

"Leaving an unfading scar on my heart
You became a star by yourself"
- Memorial address ~take2 version~

"If my life is transient like a flower
I'll be in full bloom by your side"
- Moments

"How do you
Bring down the curtain?"
- Don't look back

"I won't lose my way anymore, I have no regrets"
- Microphone

" 'This bell sound announcing the end
Bears no sad tone at all' "
- Last angel

"Yes, so again, I’ll remain silent today
Say 「Eyes, Smoke, Magic」"
- Eyes, Smoke, Magic


Actually most of these would not make good concert shirt lyrics, lol. They're too emotional, negative, or wordy.

That's the thing I was talking about, most of the lyrics I like are probably to negative for concert shirts, since the ones she released are all more uplifting and positive
because I really would have loved this line on a shirt too:

I've learned a lot
from being alone. - still alone

You know, in all seriousness, I would actually put a fun lyric on my shirt.
I would not mind that B&D opening lyric or even XOXO's lyrics but change girls to guys. Something light and fluffy, not too deep. I don't want to be walking poetry.

Or if I really had to choose something of substance: "Don't look back" printed on the back of the shirt.

winding road. For some reason those are my favorite lyrics ever, they're simple, beautiful and absolutely perfect. I find I can relate to them so much, I would love any part of those lyrics in a shirt. Specially those parts:

"Like a bird that forgot how to fly
I forgot how to walk
And ran and ran"


" The footprints I left behind
Are distorted and muddy
But I don't regret them at all
I'm proud of them from the bottom of my heart"


"A bird that forgot how to fly
Will be able to flap its wings once again
Just as I could start walking again"

I am lamenting the fact that I already put together a huge list and was trying to post it when somehow I accidentally went backwards. >.< CRUEL WORLD. At least I can go into my browsing history and see exactly which lyric pages I was on. LOL

Here is my list to the best of my memories:

"The city is alive
The people are restless"
Kanariya

"Surely somewhere out there the skies we are looking at
flow together, and are connected."
Far away

"Being sad is the same as giving up."
Naturally

"I will grow a beautiful flower
And offer it to you"
Dolls

"Dance, dance, dance
Do it again

Sing, sing, sing
Do it again"

-Do it again

"We always open the window to tomorrow
By dreaming"
Pride

"Let's go together across the blue sky
Looking down on the white sand beach
No need to have a serious talk
I need nothing except your smile"
Blue Bird

"Our eyes to judge
Our hands to hang on
Our feet to step forward
To whom do we entrust them?"
everywhere nowhere

"2 u, yeah
I believe, I can believe
4 u, yeah
I can fly to the sky
As long as it’s for you"
Song 4 u

NOW...these shirts would have to be designed JUST right for some of these to work. I'll probably think of more later...

I personally love the Step by Step lyrics and I think it fits very well with the TA tour shirts xD it was actually the shirt I wanted most!!! But anyway, I don't remember which lyrics were put on the shirts and I'm too lazy to look 'em up right now so if I repeat any of them... my bad. xD

My personal choices would have to be:

The reason there isn’t a day
When I remember you
Is because I’ve never forgotten.

~Hanabi~

It's a little sad, but my favorite lyric of hers ever. Like. Ugh. It gets me in the heart every time.

'I've chosen this fight in order to love you.'
~Tell All~

Powerful.

'In these times that are full of angels without wings'
~Endless Sorrow~

Again, a little sad, but still, the lyrics. Look at those lyrics.

'If this is the depths of hell
Then all I need to do is climb back up'

~Countdown~

Kind of reminds me of Churchill's 'if you're going through hell, keep going' and that's one of my favorite quotes.

'When you’re in despair, try remembering
That the today you’re about to give up on
Is the tomorrow that someone, somewhere
Refused to give up on
'
~Red Line~

That's a little too wordy for a shirt, I know, but I think it'd be awesome to fit it on somehow.
