Ayu ~Anything Goes: A Thread for XX~

[EndOfTheWorld]

It's too bad Ayu isn't asked these kinds of questions in interviews. So many subtle mysteries through out her career that go unanswered.

Wasn't Ayu born at 0630 in the morning?

I could imagine that -if she celebrates into July 1st with her friends in Fukuoka- that 0630 is there because of the placing next to Greatful days lyric page and there's nothing more behind it...

Considering the general message of Memorial address and the song itself, there is likely way more to it than that. Also given that she did the lipstick message again in Party Queen with someone's death as well, I think she was very likely hinting at it on that page.

yess and I still haunted by those mysterious questions in my head lol, but no really, like when did she knew bout her father's death? what would she say to him now?

Hello TeamAyu members♪

Tomorrow is July 1st!

This is the day of ayu's "July 1st"★
TeamAyu website becomes a special only on July 1st!?

Check more details on TeamAyu website!

Makes sense that 06.30 was the day of something important/tragic happened in her life and then July 1st is a new beginning... That's a nice connection.

Time to play July 1st on repeat all day long!!!!

she was born around 7 am. I remember reading about this in a magazine issued in her pre-avex times.

I was just listening to "Part of me" again and I just noticed something.

Throughout the whole song she uses "boku" instead of "watashi". She's using the male word for "I".

So is "Part of me" written in the perspective of a man?

I'm not sure if she's done this in other songs.

[rainbow_smile]

^ She has used "boku" in quite a lot of her songs

But isn't the Party Queen date also an unconfirmed speculation?

She said she uses whatever fits the melody better.

The only time I think she actually did that to give a male perspectice was during Tell me why, using "ore" when quoting Mannie and "watashi" when it was she talking about herself.

ME TOO! I don't do anything special but it's kind of a traditional to always listen to July 1st on the day. It reminds me of how good the song is.

[Evan Odinson]

Japanese people posted that #July1st is TT in Japan but I don't know if it's because of Ayu

The date is in line with diary dates where she had posted about the situation.

[YUKARI]

so it's July 1st now in Japan!
and I found this fan-made video

[ExodusUK]

Is the grey screen at 0:05 a youtube glitch or has it always been in the video?
