But thank you anyway.

I personally think that the song was written at a time that was probably close to her friend's death. I think it's perfectly fine that one particular event can inspire two songs. Especially one that we all know has affected Ayu a lot. So I don't really see a problem with her lyrics overlapping?

The thing is that the stories are always the same, the only difference lies in HOW the message is conveyed through her lyrics. She can use difference styles, so I personally still think it's fine at the end of the day. Elaboration on a same point is always good.

Hmm..especially when she's trying to emphasize on something?

I see what you're saying and it makes sense.

But then that must mean she's been writing about the same topic for awhile now. Why not something uplifting? Or something new rather than self-doubt and loss? I think she's emphasized her point thoroughly enough already.

But when you think about it, that loss was probably bigger to Ayu than we think. I mean music is her life and everything, so the only way she can express herself clearly is through her lyrics. It may be self-doubt and loss, but it's just Ayu's way of getting over the loss and everything. I hope it made sense.

I see no problem with it, I'm sure she'll come out with an uplifting song soon, it'll just take time. She is a human being after all.

Well that's true
I just hope we hear something new from her soon (in terms of lyrics). Sometimes it makes me sad to always listen to depressing stuff. But even if she never did change the topic of her lyrics, it wouldn't bother me. I can't even understand it anyways. It's just some other people had mentioned this (the lyrics sounding all the same) about her lyrics from her GUILTY album, and I started noticing it was kind of true. But I guess what you're saying is true in a way....even though I still have my doubts. Practically all her sad songs like this sound almost exactly the same when it comes to the lyrics. But it's not a big deal for me because they're still good lyrics afterall. It's just a matter of similarity. There's nothing wrong with trying to sort out your problems, but w/e is bothering Ayu must be really bad because she's been writing stuff like this for awhile now. It's just depressing to see her like this -it really is. And I guess it's kind of just wearing to see lyrics like this over and over. Sorry, I'm kind of rambling and I know those are a few different opinions....but yeah...I just hav a lot going through my mind when I read Ayu's lyrics.
