This one stands out...
There's nothing more disappointing to fans than finding out that the person you like is actually just someone shallow.
It's like finding out that the person you're following was actually in the same position as you.

Ouch lol

This obviously comes along with growing up, more precisely, a part of leaving puberty behind oneself. It's a cute conclusion, nonetheless.

The rest of the comments were funny, too xD

i love it as well, but i kinda think it would be a little too heavy for Ayu's style as someone said Ayu should use it.

Also i still think he could have done better, but i guess he wanted it to be more for "band" than for "solo". I appreaciate he guitars a lot! Lots of Ayu's songs lack of them for me, and she has so many sings that are powerful enough to carry guitars.

She sounded great in that performance of Close to you. Such an underrated ballad from RAINBOW. It's one of her better compositions too.

that was my christmas jam last year...
wait. I still got some time to play it this year!!
::goes to play close to you:::

I'm sorry that GACKT cover of SEASONS is awful. His voice is unbearable to listen to. The only song of his I will ever enjoy is Koakuma Heaven and that's because it's heavily auto-tuned.

Close to you is such a great song; too bad not many people listen/know of it lol

I feel the same about it. The arrangement is good, but when he started singing.. ew..

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I LOVE Close to you.

I was re-watching A Concert Tour 2000 just now, but well... can anyone provide me translations of what Ayu said during transitions of each songs? She surely said a lot of things during that first tour, I'm curious to know.

[AyuWorld]

just saw that Ayu liked Fashion Police page and guess what, LA paella on her fb page!!! lolol

[TeamAyu2004]

Was reading over the countdown set list and hope its real...
it looks like an amazing concert! CANT wait!!

[kendelle]

I don't know why but I'm really feeling Ayu these last few weeks. I've put the CDL setlist into a playlist and was watching the performances from this week. I almost teared up...I haven't felt this strongly about Ayu since FIVE until this month...

[orbitalaspect]

Ayu came back at a good time in my life. I met my own "Manny", you could say, a few months after FIVE was released and we parted ways this past summer. We stopped talking completely just before Christmas.

As I have nothing to do I'll try and see if I can understand something XD

I loved the arrangement for SEASONS in that cover, the voice is, well, awful. But I liked it in general. Has anyone linked this to ayu on twitter?

We can live without forgetting
But
There are some things which can't be forgotten
welcome to the world of dreams.

after immature

comes and goes into the interval between dreams and reality.

In the middle of the limited seasons, how much more delight will we be able to know?

before love destiny
In the middle of this limited time, how much more sadness will we be able to endure?

A big thank you to your efforts!!!!!!!!

[Refix]

^if she can wrote something delicately beautifully meaningful like this, why can't she wrote it as a lyrics? These days Ayu's lyrics mostly talk about love, pain, love, pain. I'm so done with that.

[rainbow_smile]

I just had a dream about going to today's CDL *___* I was not far from the stage, but somehow ended in the first row. Ayu interacted with the audience quite a lot, and she even came down and talked to some people in the front row, it was so lovely T^T But she gained some weight XDD

My dreams are so weird tbh

Thank you very much. So poetic~

[AyuWorld]

why i have no feeling for Ayu now,dont feel like watching her concerts or songs...

[tsumekaze_]

You're all welcome guys <3 to me is a pleasure as I get to do some practical exercises while doing something I like XD I was wondering, would anyone be interested in a translation of what she says during the mc of those 2 concerts? I found it particularly moving and I wrote it down already, so I could make a thread
@refix: I understand what you mean, I think she is focusing more on some themes lately. But you can see that this poetical ayu is still there, for example in lyrics like gloria, ivy, do it again... In general i find even her lyrics about love/pain more profound than those of other pop artists, but that could be me! Those are very profound and lovely messages, anyway. Sweet young ayu.

@rainbow_smile: what a nice weird dream haha XD i wish i could go to the cdl ;___; once I dreamt of working behind the scenes of cdl for a staff. It was a great dream. I got to hlp ayu dressing <3
@ayu_world: it happens to me some time in a while. The biggest one I've experienced wasi in 2010/2011, in fact I didn't even watch that year's CDL. Eventually I get into her again at some point, it lastes max 2 weeks for me XD

[Refix]

^I think you right. I just focussing on the song (melody, how she sing it and so) not the lyrics sometimes. Just read the translation once or twice and try to find what she's trying to tell in the song then ignore it.
