Ayumi's BEST Quotes

[Kaiouforever]

By far, the two songs that have the most meaning to me are HAPPY ENDING and HANABI ~Episode II~. They just speak volumes! Let's hope Ayu continues to make music and shares her wisdom for a long time to come. =)

Ditto! That's my favorite Ayu quote

[Endless_RAINBOW]

My favourite is:

This feeling, this feeling, go up into the sky
And be dispersed beautifully like a firework

That's why HANABI ~episode II~ is my favourite song

[VRGRK]

RAINBOW: Heartplace ~
"We are free to go anywhere (we want), We are free to do anything (we want)..."

A BALLADS: RAINBOW ~
"No rain can get the RAINBOW..."

This and "People think of love as a station at which the train doesn't stop.
But we had a departure station and an arrival station."
_Far away
and "Faster than everyone, you even pass the wind.
Higher than everyone, you even pierce the clouds.
Even if you live too quickly."
_ Too late

[Keiichi_JPU]

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

Marionette

[noidea]

Her lyrics are just too genius to choose a few lines

[TITANIC]

Talkin' 2 myself "The creation comes after destruction"

[mellody]

I may love someone
Because I can't hear the words I want to hear most

For My Dear...

[emikoishida]

I say goodbye with all my heart
Unable to be like a child crying but still not getting what she wants
-End Roll

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

When I looked up at the sky it was beautiful
I thought of you
And thought, if only I could be strong
And walk on forward like you

Somewhere along that path I fled from reality
I fled from all the pain
But I made excuses,
Saying this may be how I am now
But some day I'll live up to my ideals

Then I woke up to myself
And realised that all I could do was get through the present

Will my voice reach you?
Will it ring out to your heart?
I follow your back to this day
Like a living signpost
-Walking Proud

I love walking proud so much!

[gallowsCalibrator]

I love all of her quotes, but I really love JEWEL...

"And I can walk, looking forward
Because you always show me
That there remains a purity
Even in a corner of this city."

I love that song <3 It's so beautiful and touching!!!
And that line always reminds me that there really is good left in this world overtaken by greed and stuff...

[panda87]

i remember one from her one I AM... interview

it went something like "like giving birth, beginnings are always hard"

it's just so true.

[Miduhyo]

God... this is going to be a long post. haha.

"I’ve never counted
How long it’s been since we first met
But I feel like we’ve always been together" -- Wishing.

"Surely no one knows
How much love has built up inside me
And with what words I have to spell it out
To make this feeling known

But please tell him
That an unshakable faith
Is here" --- Whatever

"It isn’t possible
To go through life alone without getting hurt

If you think of yourself as a victim
Then you should be prepared not to care if you lose everything
And put on an act until the end" -- End of the World

"Your back was
As small and unreliable as always
But we laughed together
At a funny story

But why do we
Regret our mistakes
When we just make the same ones
Again and again?" -- Teddy Bear

"I want you to stare into my eyes and call my name
I want you to hold my hand and nod and say it’s OK
Push me, I don’t think I’ll be able to keep walking if you don’t
If this is a lie, at least keep up the lie until the end" --- I Am

"By only collecting, displaying and looking
At really beautiful things
And only having pleasant dreams
Was I just lamenting reality?" --- Naturally

"You’re here and I’m here, forever, wherever
You’re here and I’m here, just that, that’s everything" -- Flower Garden

Letting go of someone's hand
Is easier than you think
But it's hard to hold it again
Once you’ve let go

I can't smile without you
I can’t say a word" -- Over

"The reason there isn’t a day
When I remember you
Is because I’ve never forgotten you" -- HANABI (all time favorite quote)

"In those times, whenever I close my eyes you’re there, smiling

Ah, I hope that smile will always be there
Until the day I fall into an eternal sleep" -- Dearest.

(Do you get the point that like almost all of her songs and all of her lyrics and all of her quotes...? haha.)

[Raiu-Ayu]

The best ayu quote (and to be honest probably the best quote I've ever heard about life):
"No rain, can't the rainbow"

Also one of the best (cuz its funny and its true lol)
"Women can be having fun, women can be like a nun"

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

I love these, they're probably some of the most beautiful quotes I know... The "no rain, can't get the rainbow" also. It seems to be one of the most favourite quotes among her fans

Me too. She's just got way too many deep discoverings and thoughts in her lyrics and interviews but, I had so much free time I started re-finding my favs so here are some... This list got freaking long, I just left the pre-MY STORY because otherwise it would've been a hell of a bunch of text... xD

Spoiler:

We were born into these times
But somehow things move on
So somehow we're still standing here
And living through today

We were born into this world
Which is filled with so much joy
And filled with so much sorrow
As we cried at the top of our lungs

In your days of tears,
I muster all my strenght and promise,
to be by your side

You don't need to cry, it's okay
even though you can't explain it well to me

In your days of smiles
I want to embrace and praise two
kindnesses, that we thought of each other.

From now on until forever

No matter how lonely you are
No matter how much pain you receive
You can't shut off your feelings
Even if you’re lost for words
No matter how much you say you don’t care
If you stumble in the road, you'll hold out your hands to break your fall
That’s the way it is

Because you were there, I'm always laughing.
Because you were there, I was always laughing. I was crying. I was living.
If you're not there, there's nothing.

Time is very cruel, it becomes more so as it goes by
But it's through this cruelty that the present is created

Who can stop us
Now that we've begun to shine?
Who had the right to stop them
Now that they've begun to spread their wings?

You say you wan't to be happy
How many times have you already been?

Like a dream
Fears waking up
My heart fears
Being broken
Never trying to give
Even one thing
And never trying to gain
Even one thing
I always
Searched for a reason

Because all of us, everywhere, are connected
Even you, who are thinking about these words

The time before you grasp
The happiness you’ve always dreamed of is the best
Once you get hold of it
You’re gripped by a fear of losing it

That's all I'll say for now
Because sometimes none of the words
are powerful enough

Who on earth decided, and when
That there’s only one truth?
Those times
Have already passed

Don’t be afraid
Find which direction the light’s shining from
Then spread your wings
And fly way up high

It’s by wishing really hard
That everything begins
Your wish
Comes from believing

What I get?
What you get?
Maybe the things we get
Are just illusions we have
Because we want to believe that we have them

What I say?
What you say?
If I don’t put it into words
I might not get the message across
It might not reach anyone

The present
Starts here

What I need?
What you need?
Maybe the time
Before your desires are satisfied
Is OK

What I lose?
What you lose?
Maybe I’m sick of hearing
"I only realised
Once I lost it"

Things are too convenient
And our hearts are becoming inconvenient
Will people, too, eventually
Become symbols one day?

I was forgiven by forgiving
Even things from long ago
I was healed, though I intended to heal

Though my heart is filled with feelings to convey
You see, I can't change them into words well
If I had not met you
I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain

Though I have firm feelings
You see, I can't change them into words as usual
Everyone is living this way
With feelings they can't express

Maybe everyone, in order to protect love
Maybe everyone wishes to believe in something

Even on days that pass without you understanding
And on days when you cry, and on days when you’re full of smiles
Yeah, whatever the time
However you are
I’ll take you as you are

When the white snow paints the town
Let me stay by your side
Even though I might
Constantly annoy you from now on

Even when the white snow melts
And the town is painted in bright colours
I want to keep feeling like this
Treasuring you so much

[mobius]

Even if I search for a light place over the darkness
Spreading the only wing left for me
I can't reach the truth alone

How am I looked
In your eyes from your place?
Please laugh away
These days of mine filled with false things
Before it's too late

Even when I get tired of flying, I don't even have courage to rest my wing
If I could have a wish come true
Take me away from here, please --Secret

If your brain is about to be controlled
By the things reflected in your eyes
Listen to the voice in your heart --t2m

What you offered straight to me
With a smile for the last time
Was just so beautiful
That I gave way to tears --HEAVEN

"hear my prayer in this era overflowing with wingless angels..." - Endless Sorrow

[yuki_unmei]

i love this one:

"To me, my fellow fans are like wartime buddies who have stood and fought beside me, where there were a lot of connections or link between me and them. Maybe it is up to you to believe it or not, since you can’t possibly see our hearts and minds are linked together per se, but to me, I do believe that our hearts are connected to each other."
