I have to look at the lyrics and try to find where she sings "You are full of shit."
The English part is hard to understand without reading the lyrics.

^It's right before the second chorus starts, just like the part where she sings "are you kidding me" before the first chorus.

@Zeke She sings "You say 「No!」「No!」 what you don't believe" and "I say 「Yes!」「Yes!」 what I do believe" and there's also a somewhat muffled "what you do believe" after the bridge ends.

Would make more sense, but no, the official lyrics were posted under Nonfiction's Youtube video:

Spoiler:
「Nonfiction」

words : ayumi hamasaki
music : Hisashi Koyama
arrangement : tasuku


Zzz... 浮かない顔してるのは
鏡のあなた自身
この頃ちょっと狂いすぎてる
だから嘘はすぐにめくれる

引き換えに犠牲にした
モノとかあるのかなって
マジで言ってんなら
Are you kidding me

成功が人生のゴールですか？
その成功って何ですか？
枠にはまらないのは罪ですか？
その他大勢なら安心ですか？

So oh 独りは確かに孤独だけど
自由も無限だった
制限されるにつれ分かったのは
なんにしろ孤独は消えない

正直もんがバカをみる
なんて良く言ったもんだわ
鵜呑みにするなら
You're full of shit

人の幸せが嫉ましいですか？
見えてるのは全てでしょうか？
画面上だけで決めてませんか？
果たしてそれはリアルでしょうか？

You say 「No!」「No!」
what you don't believe
生きるのは誰だってしんどい
I say 「Yes!」「Yes!」
what I do believe
We gotta be careful what's fiction

What you do believe

成功が人生のゴールですか？
その成功って何ですか？
枠にはまらないのは罪ですか？
その他大勢ならOK？

I really love Nonfiction, I'd put it on repeat. I also like the MV, because she looks so pretty in both her looks.
The only thing I am not keen of, is that dramatic intro. Though it "works", a.k.a. less bothers me, in the mv, I wish the song could've skipped that part.

The song is at #18 on its third day! I'd have to check again but I think DaD left the top 20 on its third day.

EDIT: The PV was also trending at #15 in YouTube Japan's music section today! The views are currently at 390K!

Is there anyone that actually brings in major money to the label these days? I honestly don't have a clue what's on there anymore.

I finally rewatched the MV again. It's fine, it had some cool things in it, and it made me think of Sexy Little Things. It has a very similar vibe.


BTW i've also found the english parts strange. She's not awful in english, but it almost feels like she's going backwards with it the more time passes. I suppose Timmy had a lot to do with it, but she really wasn't THAT bad herself.

23rd Monster only spent one day in the daily top 20, which was its debut at #2.

I understand what the official lyrics are but I think what she was trying to say in terms of grammar was what I posted. I can see how it might be confusing to a Japanese native to separate “don't” and “do” from the verb. It’s kind of a curveball in the English language, the proper construction of a sentence like this.

I'm so in love with this song. I keep listening at it. Love the rythm, the electro, Ayu's voice, the (too) short bridge. Last time I was so hyped with a song was Lelio and before that, Sparkle.

Love it.

I love it too, more than Lelio and Sparkle which I also loved. For me, this is easily one of my favorite tracks of hers ever.

It's on constant repeat here, too!

I guess without Timmy proofreading English parts this is all we can get now.

Well, the mispronunciated English is sometimes part of the J-Pop culture. I think it's pretty possible she can deliver some better English while speaking than singing.

I always remember when Timmy sings 'boice' instead of 'voice' during NaNaNa. He's a native English speaker, so it's obvious that sometimes they mispronounced some words for aesthetic reasons (just like Utada, another English native speaker, does)
