Which Ayu lyrics reflect you now and why? (optional)

[Embleu]

(My own translations from romaji)

"How many times will things fade away
In our limited time?
If we live in the present
Then what will we find?"
-Seasons

"No matter what kind of place this is
Or where I go from here
I'll share freedom and loneliness
And continue with things as they are"
-Naturally

"This summer our new journey begins
I faintly hear an ill premonition far off
[But] today, let's search again
For the road that leads to the place we saw in our dreams"
-Glitter

"A woman could be having fun
A woman could be like a nun"
-Real Me

I know someone was going to do that last one sooner or later. =P

[TeddyGrahams]

I'm looking up at the blurred sky
So that the tears will not fall
Hanabi

Well, I know better than anyone else
That a happy ending never suits me
Happy Ending

I've been thinking that I couldn't reach your voice
I've been thinking that this dream wouldn't come true
But the person before my eyes is
You see? No one else but you
Fated

When we chose our ways to set out
You and I still looked like a child with unprotected smile

Though it has become difficult
To smile in complete innocence like we did at that time

We can realize more now
We can see more now
Born to Be...

I looked up at the sky and smiled softly
I heard, "Don't be afraid, it's all right"
I looked up at the sky and tears rolled from my eyes suddenly
Even the scar left in my past is dear to me now
Next Level

Relationship Issues~ Whoo

[mosaicbuster]

I can't go back
However much I long for it
It was really fun at that time
But that time is not now

I remember I've always drawn down
The curtain in an awkward way

Where are you?
Where have you gone?
You have maybe gone on a long trip
With the most important person

If I had ever
Said something
It wouldn't have been the starting
With the ending being at sight

As I can't behave like a child crying for something
All I can do is to say good-bye

And I walk on
I try to walk alone
So that I can light my way
Without you

Being human is sorrowful
Being human is sorrowful?
Being human is joyful
Is it all right I think so?

And I walk on
And you walk on, too
So that we can light each way
Though separated

End of a 3 year relationship so End Roll seems to do it for me... I love this but it makes me cry hahahaha! Especially the parts in bold!

[truehappiness]

We are meaningless
Unless we accept ourselves

Who on Earth decided
That there is the only one truth?
We have already passed through
Such an age
--WE WISH

Because no one ever said there was a single truth... and that there is no meaning in life until one accepts themselves.

[majrakun]

I had no place to belong, I hadn't found one
I didn't even know if I could expect anything of the future
-A Song for XX

What do you really want?
What do you really wish?
Where do you really aim for?
-(miss)understood

I guess it's not as dramatic as that, but you could say it does apply to me right now. I'm in my last year of college, doing subjects I don't really like, and I haven't really decided what I wanted to do in the future just yet, "I really don't know if I should expect anything of the future."

It's pretty frustrating.

[truehappiness]

That's how life is for most people. So, you shouldn't feel alone in that aspect.

Few people actually know/feel like they know what the future has in store for them.

Dreaming, starting
There is no answer
No matter where you search for it
But you will never have
This moment again in your life
If you have decided to believe in yourself
Accept the answer
Even if it's different from your ideal
--Startin'

[Keiichi_JPU]

These lyrics are very wise, I believe they apply to many people:


Marionette
We were not born to live
Just putting on a front
And hiding a face
Like the dead

Now, let's stand up without fear
For the sake of no one else
And rip off the masks
With our own hands



HANABI ~Episode II~
I remember everything even now
Your voice calling my name, your casual habits
I want to forget, and I don't want to forget

Please tell me some day that you are happy
And smile
I gently lock the memories away
Leaving them to be beautiful

Especially the last one is so beautiful.. makes me very sad

[Karori]

I think right now, untitled ～for her～ is the one that reflects me the most... specially the following part.

We walked hand in hand
We laughed and cried over trivial things

We were innocent and bright in those days

If I could have just a wish come true now
I want to see you again

However many times the seasons may pass
Our days are fadeless

I just love this song.

[truehappiness]

Yes, which is why it's so.. wow that her lyrics are so accessible and.. stunningly touching.

I am disgusted with this point of view and I don't see how it makes sense, since all of her lyrics relate to SOMEONE on a personal level.

[Sandre]

(Mirrorcle World)
Did I imagine this kind of future?
Did you imagine this kind of future?

Did I wish for this kind of future?
Did you wish for this kind of future?

They ask me
"The beginning or the end?"

"Did you give up
Or are you holding on?"

"Are you shrugging off
Or in despair?"

You tell me
Just to go forward

You see? We and this world have no sign of slowing down
If the acceleration just increase this way ...

Is it because I've become strong
That I can be without tears
Or ... ?

(Curtain call)
I hear your voice
Calling my name

I see your face
Smiling at me

Do you hear my voice
Calling your name?

Do you see my face
Smiling at you?

Even now, I can't say well
The only word
That I want to say most

But this song is definately

A love song sent to you, my dear
From my heart

At first, I worry about my future and I can't see it. I try my best and work hard.
Besides, my love ones are always stay wtih me. I feel touch.

[puddinx]

Theme of a-nation '03

Memories are sweet because we passed through the time
However sad now, we can talk about it with a smile some day

SURREAL

Choosing only the things you like
isn't irresponsible.
If you can't find anything you like
then why accept the responsibility?
I take only the possibilities that I'm ready to accept.

RAINBOW

I was forgiven by forgiving many things

Marionette

We were not born to live
Just putting on a front
And hiding a face
Like the dead

[Keiichi_JPU]

if you didn't notice, b**** made the fail album of the year. stop quoting her made-in-5-minutes ~*deep*~ ******* lyrics.

I don't know who quoted this, but he's WRONG.

Ayumi's lyrics have helped me many times to overcome a depressive mood, or just.. feel like someone out there understands me

Ayumi Hamasaki has given me a lot of trust, and I love and respect her for that!

[Teppei-chan]

My heart becomes so warm
Just because you are around me
I have just one and only wish
Can I stay loving you for ever
Just like this?
( Ayumi Hamasaki-Days)

This fits so well at the moment.

[nikku76]

I had been thinking that trusting someone results in
Being betrayed and rejected some day
I never had such strength at that time
Maybe I knew too much

I was born alone and would live alone
I thought it was certainly natural for me to live in such a way

It may seem emo, but the lyrics to A Song for XX really resonate with me. I feel that way often.

Also, this part of Sparkle sounds like she is talking directly to me.

If you only look, nothing happens
And it will never be yours
Until when are you going
To look on enviously there like that?

[love in music]

You may be pressing the wrong buttons
One after another

But not because so
And not with resignation
Please don't sacrifice joy
For sadness

However uncool you may be today
And even if you may feel down
And regret with this and that
The sun also rises
-EnergizE


We start to move for the next stage
We keep on walking
On this endless, straight road
We keep on shining
-NEXT LEVEL


Honestly
I had some hard nights
And the days I felt unbearable
But always, I wasn't alone

I see your smile
So dear and dazzling
I'm living every day
To see the smile

I feel your love
Strong and warm
I'm feeling the selfless love
With all my senses
-MY ALL


We're connected at each and every place so
when I think this word, you'll already know.
-Connected


We're free to go anywhere we want
We're free to do anything we want
Against what and till when do I keep on fighting?
-Heartplace


MY ALL and Connected reflect how i feel about Ayu. yes, i'm a freak

[Coelacanth]

When you see someone worse off than you
you feel a little relieved.
When you see someone happier than you
you quickly become impatient.

But sometimes you
realize just how pitiful you are
and you crash into reality.
--End of the World

This is so me right now.

[stickyrice]

My lips told a single lie
For a trivial reason
It wasn’t for anyone else’s sake
Just to protect
My stupid self
-walking proud

Like a bird that had forgotten how to fly
I’d forgotten how to walk
So I just kept running in earnest

Now I’m turning and looking back
On that road
That seemed so long and yet so short

Yeah, this is the road I’ve chosen
-winding road

I tell myself I’m OK
And adeptly put on a smile
I wouldn’t really say I’m being careless
More defiant
-(miss)understood

Happy Ending <3

There are lots of stars
As if to fill the gap between thick clouds
They are shining like a prayer
Almost like a shout
And my chest is constricted

I hope the morning will come for me soon
Before I can't hide up my weakness

(*) It's strange I feel so lonely at night
Only because you are not here

After how many times of
Committing a sin like this

Will I be inhuman?
Will I be invisible to everyone?

I find nothing I want in a place like this
Which I escaped and tumbled into
I rip my feelings off my heart
And stick a smile on the mask
Please take me away from here
Before everything becomes a memory

(**) I felt I knew the meaning of love a little
After I had met you. If I can finish my penance some day
If I'm forgiven some day ...

But I have no right after all that
To tell the definition of happiness

(*) repeat
(**) repeat

Well, I know better than anyone else
That a happy ending never suits me

[truehappiness]

It was frightening even to stop
And when I was weeping
Feeling my heart was to be broken, you told me:

What is sad is to give up
--Naturally

I feel like this has applied at rather random times of my life, hmm.

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

honestly, unfortunately, none.
that hurts me a little..
