MADE IN JAPAN song titles + lyric teasers on social media

[MessiahofSilence]

The Survivor lyrics are powerfjl, straightforward. I'm anticipating the album and the sound she will end up taking for it. I'd love of we got a mix of modern with traditional Japanese music. The fan made cover looked nice, it reminds me of a shoot she once did in where she was tattooed with Japanese style art.

Dead. Haha

I love those Survivor lyrics snippets! I definitely like the direction she is going in

This is a great idea! I don't think it's going to happen though, probably too much effort

[chocopockymaster]

If she keeps going with the four seasons theme, I would love to see four cover variations with one for each season.

And while I'm dreaming, I'd like a pony...

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^I'll jump on that bandwagon and wish for a triple A-side summer single that's titled with a single letter or symbol (but NO numbers cause I'm over them at this point).

[Surreal17]

Survivor seems to be one of those tracks written from a worldly view about compassion and unity in front of a calamity / fear / pain etc. Also, acceptance of our limited human nature. A lot of I am... songs come to mind : Daybreak, A Song is Born, no more words, Endless sorrow + Last Links and Out of Control.

[Next_Level29]

^letter (i mean the line where it starts with : gambatte, gambatte ..)

My collaborator translated from Japanese to Portuguese, though as I do not have the competence to trazudir from Portuguese to English, so I'll leave the link so you can use the translator of the text in the blog, may have a clearer idea content.

We'll agree that most of her newer album/single covers were not as impactful when it comes to her image as the old ones though, with some exceptions.

Here is the rumors of Survivor and NATURAL in the past. I will be very happy if ayu is looking at all these rumors for her new songs.

"Daybreak" was misreported as being called "day break" for awhile after the Panasonic CM came out.

[Gustavopc]

wow @ the rumour with guilty and Days o___o That's some foreshadowing shit here

I think the title is just a coincide tho From what we know from the album I don't think she's resurrecting old songs this time

[BlackSilence]

i'd love a shoot outdoors in front of Mt. Fuji or something in a modern japanese fashion or something. Something strong. Cuz lyrics so far sound really strong.

[AyuGAME]

Suprisingly...no one bring back EGG to live again...hahaha

[Beauty4123]

Yet another gorgeous picture & awesome song title. With such a powerful title & lyrics, I'm totally hoping "Survivor" will be getting a PV or something! I would so love that.

At best we could get like TAMAGO, lol.

[Refix]

My guess is right then, that those quotes on her IG lately are lyrics snippets from her new song, hopefully turns out to be a good memorable songs, not just a pass by.
