MY ALL (Chinese version) released today, 5th anniversary theme for 球球大作战

[truehappiness]

Looks like they chose 8/8 as a lucky release date for this and for that game a while ago. It seems that it got a tie-up as the 5th anniversary song for "Battle of Balls / 球球大作战" a smartphone game that is similar to agar.io, I believe.

The full version of the song along with lyrics was posted by junshen in the Downloads section! Chinese lyrics were written by 郭德紫毅 or Guo de Ziyi. Seems this person has done a lot of Japanese -> Chinese lyrics.


YouTube version is 'unavailable' for now, might work for Japanese users?

時光記錄下了我們的經歷
那是我從未想過的奇妙際遇
曾被我們認為遙遠的距離
也已經都成為了過去
或許現在我們擁有的一切
儘管不夠完美卻還依然燦爛如新
像那聚集幸福光芒水晶
正閃爍著奪目的光明
一路上的風景
有坦途有崎嶇
可讓我最安心
是一直在身邊的你
是你讓我相信
前方的路不會只是
一個人的旅行

我會讓你看見夢沒有終結
它還在閃著光 等我們向前
想要讓你觸碰 夢想的真切
這是屬於我 最真實的心願

多想要能一直在你的身边
就像你愛著我不管路多險
就讓我守護你 用我的一切
守護屬於我們的 小小世界


從來沒有留下 一絲的悔意
直到如今 我一樣可以這樣斷言
無論何時 我們都竭盡全力
那是來自心底的勇氣
那些孤獨的夜
你是空中的夜
擦乾我的眼淚
照亮了未知的世界
是你讓我相信
前方的路不會只是
一個人的旅行

我會讓你浮現 久違的笑顏
它還在我腦海在我的心間
還想要再看到 再會那一天
所以我依然 還期待著相見

我仍然能感到你 愛如春天
那溫暖的感覺 從來未走遠
想要讓你觸碰 夢想的真切
這是屬於我 最真實的心願

我會讓你看見夢沒有終結
它還在閃著光 等我們向前
想要讓你觸碰 夢想的真切
這是屬於我 最真實的心願

多想要能一直在你的身边
就像你愛著我不管路多險
就讓我守護你 用我的一切
守護屬於我們的 小小世界

Didn't expect it to be released that way...
I like ayu's vocal

[truehappiness]

Yeah, it's so sudden too. I think her voice sounds really good though it sounds like they did a bit of pitch shifting up on some of the vocals.

[junshen]

It’s been 12 years since original MY ALL, I’ve enjoyed her current voice actually.

Holy shit 12 years?!?!?!?!

[truehappiness]

Yeah, I really like it too! Some of the Baidu comments seem to be iffy though... some saying it sounds like Hatsune Ayumiku more than Ayu herself, but I think it's better than the Who... Chinese version in terms of how she's singing in Chinese.

[koumori]

This version is really nice, and her vocals are much smoother than I expected. There's definitely been editing but I feel it's for a particular sound than for anything else. Thank you for posting this!

I think that's because she was really focused on pronouncing words

[Deep snow]

listening to it right now. the pitch-correction is so palpable to me. probably this was recorded at the height of her vocal exhaustion so they had to bring the big guns.

This was recorded a bit after CDL, it seems. I think she's focusing heavily on pronouncing the Chinese this time so it isn't too farfetched that they'd have to adjust things.

[Ruan Borges]

Wow, she sounds very different for sure, but I like when her vocals go that soft-like, I wouldn't mind if she sings more like this in future songs.

[KittyKathy]

I like her voice here. This sounds better than the Who... (Chinese Version).

[DonkeyKongRemix]

She really should have turned My All into a single back when... <3

I'm excited about this release.

[Chris85]

I'm glad she dropped her usual act for recording of this song (except for the la-la-la part), even her vibrato sounds natural. The verses sound the best while the chorus sounds like she's out of her comfort zone.

[dez0424]

sad to see this important song being used as a tie-up for some chinese game. that’s not right.

[truehappiness]

I kind of get the vibe that it was meant for something else as well but that got pushed off as a tie-in. This doesn't seem like it's the 'offer' she was talking about when she told us about the song to begin with.

I thought the "offer" was a TikTok deal, right? She obviously got paid to join the app and making all that campaign.

[Chris_Duvall]

It sounds really nice! Can’t wait to show this to my best friend who is Chinese.

[truehappiness]

The game made a bit of a poster for the song!



There was also a Weibo post that goes over how they invited Ayu to do it for the 5th anniversary and how it's such a big song for Chinese fans.



In an interesting turn of events, avex started releasing the single today in Japan as well. It's also on YouTube but unavailable at the moment, it seems? Might be usable for people in Japan though.

[mizuki-7]

Yes it sound a bit random but I imagine that the original project has been affected by the corona if we assume that’s the song was planned for something bigger ? anyway its a good things to me everything she can do for her asian fans is a good thing.
