After the announcement, there was such a commotion made here, and I'm slow to update! I'm sorry! (>_<)!!

The other day I said "On the 10th I'll be able to give more details so look forward to it", and...


Yeah.


The news has already broken, but yes, it was arranged for me to do the Live Action Dragonball movie's worldwide theme song~! o/~

So, that's why I sent the song off to America. (^_-)-*



The director of the Live Action Dragonball movie is apparently a fan who's familiar with all my songs, so he commissioned a song from me for use in the movie, and didn't take no for an answer, and he wanted the song so much and told me he was so grateful for it, his enthusiasm rubbed off on me.



But it's the theme song for every release all over the world, so shouldn't the lyrics be in english? But he was thinking, he told me in our conversation, originally the manga was in japanese, so it would be cool for the lyrics to be in japanese too!!!



This idea is pretty cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



After all, I am Japanese, so if people can hear me sing in my own native language, I'm very glad for that. Always revising, always enthusiastic, I wrote in my own words.



By the way, this song is SO high-tension, just singing it one time made me lose weight, I think. (lol)


Ah, oh yes. The title is "Rule" ---- o/~


I wrote down the lyrics to the chorus for you, before i niiiiinnnnja vaniiish-chon.




dareka ni kimerareta RUURU
sonna mon hitsuyounai datte
kono bokura ga RUURU
sokontoko yuzurenai

okimari no tsumannai RUURU
oshitsukeraretaku nai
mazu wa kimi to boku de RUURU
bukkowashite hajimeyou.


(Rules someone else decided
are unnecessary
These are our rules
And we can't surrender anywhere.

I don't want to be pressured
To follow the same trivial rules
Because first of all, these rules are yours & mine
Let's tear it all down.)

~Rule~

Just like with "Days", please feel free to help out with those lyrics.

Yo, 'sup

Yo, it's Chonchan. (^_^)/ (haha)

I forgot to mention something, so I came back.

There's been alot of talk about whether or not I'll make a worldwide debut, doing work in America, stuff like that, but really, in all honesty, it's a big "maybe" right now.

I'll always be here, nothing will change that.

So there's no need to feel lonely.

The title & first line of that message are like... guy speak. I translated that to english as best I could

My guess is TA members are kinda sad at the thought of ayu making a debut worldwide/in the USA. Awww. But it's cool to be an American and hear that "maybe". XD!!

[njanjayrp]

thanks Deli! I really wish we could hear the song!

[yagovg]

OMG, did you read that? maybe she would do a worlwide debut, maybe, but it's a "maybe" after all. This is kinda exciting, by the way this seems to be a huge project doesn't it? I don't know what to think about the lyrics, i dont usually like english words put in japanese stile, like supikaa "spiker" you know, but maybe when i listen to it, i'll change my mind. GO AYU!! thnx Zero

[Hatix]

awesome, now we have a real confirmation! worldwide is not only america, but also europe!! ^^
but I also think that japan is the home country and most important.

and thx deli ;p

[Moonstar]

Thank you so much for it^^

[truehappiness]

Awesome! Singing it made her lose weight? lol.

[stickyrice]

By the way, this song is SO high-tension,just singing it one time made me lose weight, I think.

I literally spat out my water when reading that LMAO!

It's nice to hear that she's at least considering debuting worldwide but I highly doubt it. It's also heartwarming to hear her say she'll always be in Japan with her fans and nothing will change that. It's sweet =)

[musikb0x]

Oh, it's nice to hear that Ayu is thinking about other countries!

If Rule is better than Mirrorcle World, then I'm going to be on a natural high forever.

[kawaii otaku]

wow omg!

it's amazing news to hear that she's considering a worldwide debut.

i think she should definitely have one.

[Aderianu]

I love the lyrics!

[tinka69]

Ooo! I am so excited about this song! And I'm glad they're not making her sing it in english. Icky.

[jbrat2219]

Thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to the song.

But I'm with the Japanese fans on the "coming to America" thing. I live in the U.S. and I would LOVE to see Ayu in my country but at the same time, I don't want her to spread herself out too thin! I mean think of this 10th anni with the constant touring and only in 3 parts of Asia(outside of Japan). If she did a world tour, we'd be lucky to every hear from her again! Besides I don't want her to be criticized by the some of American public D: They can be brutal! On the other hand if she's accepted, I don't know how I'd feel. Probably on the fence because I'd want her to be successful but at the same time, I like the exclusivity of being an Ayu fan in America.

that's what i'm thinking
i agree with you

[lfe.]

She should make a PV for Rule and it be broadcasted internationally with the movie release

Yeah yeah! I agree with that! I wonder, is the film will be in Malaysia? It would have to! I don't care!

[errikkutrancex]

No, please !!!! No ayu in America ! Her rainbow album was not a success (with enlgish lyrics) and we all know that japanese do not success : even Hikaru Utada did not succed ! (her Utada'english is really better than Ayu's !) It's better for her to stay in her market, or in Asia, but in America, she will have to change her style, and it would be very sad

Well, Utada's album had almost no promotion, so that's why it didn't do well. And Utada's fluent in English - she was born and raised here in America.

The lyrics sound very interesting! Even though we probably won't hear the full song for months, I'm still very excited to hear it =)

Hmm... maybe her fans fear she'll either spend too much time in America trying to have a career? I mean, I'd love it for Ayu to come to America and actually release her music here and such, but I won't be too upset if she doesn't. It's nice to hear that she's definitely thinking about, though ^^

[MissElin_]

SWEETSWEETSWEETSWEEEEEET!!! Gosh I cant really wait for Rule!!! And a rock song! Its gonna be great for sure! Yes indeedy.

[Hatix]

I would be happy with a small world tour ;p she doesn't have to do a international debut. Just a little tour, for all the current fans around the world, especially for those who can't go to Japan (or the other asian concerts).

and I can't wait to hear Rule, the lyrics sound so powerful indeed.
