decision's meaning

I know I was around for when decision came out, but for the life of me I can't remember why Ayu wrote it. I originally thought it was because of her breakup of her first marriage, but something tells me that's not quite right.

She was writing it as a way to express why she made a choice, I just don't remember what it was for, or when.

Uhhhh well she didn't get married until 2011 and decision came out in 2007, so I think it's safe to say it wasn't about her divorce from Manny.

^ She was referring to her relationship with Nagase i think, she wasn't married to him but they had been together for so long she probably thought they were married

I thought it is about her decision to be in the jpop business (when she started under avex) or remaining in showbiz; and sacrificing her personal life for it.

I think that was it! It was a really important thing for her and the outcome was very different from what a lot of people expected. So Ayu wrote about it.

I think is the decision about being true to herself, the path she has choosen it might mean different things like being still on the business, being alone, etc.

To me, decision is kind of like Ayu's anthem of determination and making choices she believes in. Not second guessing what you truly want.
I think everything between 1998 till Guilty was her reason for creating the song. Since it was her anniversary she was reflecting on her past and thinking about the future.

This. Ayu even cut her hair because of the break up. I've heard that's a thing Japanese girls do as a symbolism. It's like starting over, but I could be wrong
