Be closer to me
Let me trust you more

You are a little insensitive, or should I say clumsy
I like that about you

But please care about my girlish mind a little
Just sometimes

Though it's not easy for me to be meek
And stop pretending to be strong
It's no one but you that I need
That alone is certain and unchangeable

I'm whispering softly
A strong love, softly
I wonder if it will reach you
And echo in your heart

* I'm whispering softly
A strong love, softly
I wonder if it will reach you clearly some day

** It's even better to take a roundabout way
I know we'll be able to understand each other

I can almost imagine for some reason
What you want to say

I always change subject at important times
Don't you think so?

I can't step forward decisively
Because it can't be that I'm not afraid
Don't you accept what I am
All taken together?

Be closer to me
Let me trust you more
Am I really
In your eyes?

Be closer to me
I want you to let me trust you more
Am I depending on you too much?

I don't have a mind to change you
And I'm still the same
But I think we are OK as we are
Don't you think so?

Be by my side forever
Trust me forever

You see? I'm whispering softly
A strong love, softly
I wonder if it will reach you
And echo in your heart

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

Come closer to me
Try to trust me more

You are laughing innocently
I adore your smile

But I know that tears were shining
On your cheeks until a while ago

I don't say easily, "Show me your true colors"
Or something like that
But I'm confident about accepting you
Whatever color I may see in you

* I want to send a greater love to you
In a louder voice
I want to reach your heart

** If I shout out a greater love for you
In a louder voice
I wonder if it will reach you just a little

*** It's even better to take a roundabout way
I know we'll be able to understand each other

(In a louder voice)
(With a greater love)
(In a louder voice)
(With a greater love)

I can almost imagine for some reason
What you want to say

I just have a mind to face you
But actually I'm running away, don't you think so?

If I said I was not afraid
I'd be lying, to be honest
But I'm all prepared
All taken together

Hey, come closer to me
Try to trust me more
Do you hear the heartbeat
In my trembling chest?

Come closer to me
And try to trust me more, that's all I ask
Listen carefully with your heart

There's no more need to confirm our feelings
I know we are thinking of each other

We are not at all perfect
Because we are human
But I think it's OK
Because I love such a point

(In a louder voice)
(With a greater love)
(In a louder voice)
(With a greater love)

* (repeat)
** (repeat)
*** (repeat)

Kana:
もっとそばに来て もっと信じてみて

無邪気に笑う僕の大好きなその笑顔についさっきまで 涙が君の頬で光っていた事を知っているよ
ありのままを見せてとかなんて簡単に言わないけど こんな君を見ちゃっても受け止めて行ける自 信があるし

ねぇもっと大きな声で もっと大きな愛を
君に届けたい その胸に響かせたい
もっと大きな声で もっと大きな愛を叫んだら
ちょっとは伝わるかな 遠回りする位がいい 解り合える事解ってるから

君の言いたい事は何となく大体ね想像つく
僕は向き合うつもりになっているだけで逃げてるよね
怖くないとかいったら正直嘘になるけれどね

ねぇもっとそばに来て もっと信じてみて
僕のこの震える 揺れる鼓動聞こえてるから
もっとそばにいて もっと信じてみてほしい
心に耳澄ませて 確かめ合うのはもう終わり 想い合っているって知ってるから

僕らは完璧なんかじゃないよ だって人間なんだもの
だけどそれでいいそう思うんだよね そんなとこが愛しいんだから

ねぇもっと大きな声で もっと大きな愛を
君に届けたい その胸に響かせたい
もっと大きな声で もっと大きな愛を叫んだら
ちょっとは伝わるかな 遠回りする位がいい 解り合える事を解ってるから

Quote:
“This year, without just blindly following the rules, I want to break out together with everyone!”, with this, Ayu chose to play at a-nation for the summer again. Standing on stage with complete devotion, she, while singing the NEXT LEVEL, released a new summer single for the first time in two years. Moreover, with Sunrise/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~, she completed a new experiment by making two similar tunes that differ completely in taste. Ayu made these works by using her subtle power of expression.

“At first there were no plans to make Sunset. I had prepared a completely separate ballad, but when I started working on Sunrise, I unexpectedly started fighting with the ballad. Midway I thought, “I hate this, I can’t sing it”, but, in the end, a song that I loved was completed. I started thinking about how I wanted to create that child’s other self. Originally, Sunrise was very energetic but because the melody was very pretty, I felt I could try to turn it into a ballad. That became the plan (laugh). But, when I was finishing them, right for the start, they became each other’s ‘answer song’. Because Sunrise exists, Sunset is very painful. Because Sunset exists, the brightness of Sunrise is painful. In that way, they became songs which couldn’t be sung unless they both exist. Even to me it’s mysterious how it became like that.”

The passage of time, the change of feelings, the colours of sceneries; Sunrise/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ synchronizes with those kind of various factors. Furthermore, what’s most surprising are the subtle differences in expression of the lyrics as they release their dramatic colours. The evidence isn’t a word that can express the summer. But, that what’s overflowing out of these songs is definitely the aura of summer.
--translation snippet from SCawaii, translated by tenshi no hane









Report by tokyoxjapanxfan who was at the HEY!HEY!HEY! taping:

So basically here's the run down (and since i'm ridiculously tired it's not going to be in depth paragraphs filled with "fluff" *i'd make my high school English teacher's proud right there haha*)

-I arrived outside the studio at around 3:30 and had to wait until 4:30 to line up.

-There were a bunch of those ayu fan's cars with pictures of her on it and lots of people who were there that weren't able to go inside. I waited around the entrance to try and see Ayu when she was getting out of her car, but she was taking too long and so I went and sat under a tree in the shade.

-We lined up *all 200 people selected, though I was number 87 * in the ordinary Japanese fashion--very slowly--at 4:30 as the mail said. However, today was 32 degrees celsius/89 degrees fahrenheit and we were standing next to a glass building, which reflected all the heat onto us, in the hot, hot, hot sun, for around 45 minutes.

-Then we moved inside and stuff, not much to see, we went through all the back entrances and it was all stage setup stuff, boring. We got into a dance practice room and had to sit down. Prior to sitting down, we here handed a little HEY!x3 cellphone cleaner strap and the a-nation 09 towel. WHICH ISN'T FREE.

-They taught us how to use the towel, we had to spin it in the air when the first and third chorus is played. They take the towels back at the end of everything, but how nice--we got to keep cheap little cellphone straps haha...though, not gunna lie, they are helpful

-We got into the stage/performance area and I was shocked...it was a really different looking stage than I had imaged...Everyone was like... "huh? Sunrise? this stage? I don't see it." haha But I think it was going for an Atlantis feel or something. It was strange, hard to describe. But the lights were really pretty when they lit up and stuff.

-We waited for a little bit and then ayu and her male dancers walked in. I couldn't believe how close I was to her. I was in the 4th-ish row and I was like 12-15 feet away from her (i don't really know exactly...but I was closer than you can get at her concerts haha) and she was wearing an orange version of her already posted outfits and she was soooooo cute! She said a little bit like do your best and be happy and then she started singing.

-Her vocals were really good, I must say. They were strong and clear! No lipsync here And we did as we were told...but not very well. We were all basically going off the person next to us haha. And so the song finished after like 3 minuts which went so fast, ayu left and then we were told that we were going to do it a 2nd time, but to be better at it haha. So we did, and then that was it...We left and ayu left and then that's it... haha

The little strips of shiny plastic were shot out during the final chorus and it was really exciting. I had a great time and it is a once in a lifetime opertunity... How many people can say they've been to a HEY!x3 filming with ayu?! hehe~~~

BTW, during the 2nd filming, I dropped my towel on the floor and couldn't spin it during the last chorus with the confetti and stuff and that's the version they're using I hope I won't be visible on tv during that part >_<

And also, all of her dancers had mics on and sang...BLAH. Hamasaki Ayumi and the Super Dancers.
Nice translation of the article from ViVi by tenshi no hane@AHS:
Quote:
ViVi, September 2009.


“Because we’re in this kind of era, I want to send out sparkling, cheerful and powerful things. I believe that’s my duty.”

Dressed in an flashy eighties dress, Ayu smiles, “I feel happy when I’m dressed like this”. She confidently says that her music, fashion etc. express her real essence. “If I wear basic clothes, it’ll certainly calm my mood, but if I’m not allowed to do different things, it’s just uninteresting, right? If you’re only defensive, you won’t be able to create new things.”

From the 20th century to the 21st century, in those ten years, Ayu has been leading the girls of those centuries. Whilst always showing precise answers to the doubts and problems of girls from this era, now, in her 11th year, Ayu is focusing on the tastes of certain people.

“I love the fashion of the eighties. Back then, that kind of strongly and boldly coloured patterns were widespread. Because there were no personal computers in that age, it took much time and trouble for people to make things. Now, you can easily make anything, right? For example, if it’s difficult to express one emotion with words, we convey it using pictographs, just like that right?--- But with things created in the eighties, you can feel the energy and enthusiasm of the people who made them. I think that’s a great thing.”

“When I first thought about the concept for this year’s NEXT LEVEL tour, I wanted to convey the power which people hold. That idea suddenly popped into my head.”

“When I think about organisation, up 'till now, rather than a live performance, I wanted to create an entertaining stage. But, this year, while leaving the show-like part behind, the power of the band’s performance, the liveliness of the dancers, the team, my lyrics; all those things---, I wanted to let hear and show the things which can’t be turned into machines, things which only humans can do. That feeling was very strong.”

As for this year’s 10th anniversary tour, concerning both Ayu and fans; a “thank you for these ten years” feeling of gratitude was exchanged. A feeling like some kind of ceremony beyond time. That was this year’s tour. “The people who came, laughing and crying, made me very happy; it’s a very strong feeling,” Ayu said.

A live performance with nothing but fun, happens often, but a live performance that shakes the heart, happens rarely. During the NEXT LEVEL tour, the words which Ayu created one by one, putting her entire heart into them, carried the rhythms and melodies. Especially ballads like Days became songs from the soul, as if penetrating the cells of the audience one by one. A very pure feeling.

“Lately, things like lyrics make me happy. I’m often told that it looks as if I’m pursuing a goal. I’m not conscious of it to that extent, but I can recall one thing: when I sang my lyrics in January this year, ----how should I say..?---- I can’t find a proper way to say this, but there’s a “I can do this” kind of feeling. Until now, since I’m weak in vocal range and chords, everything would disappear unnoticed----. Somehow, I feel it turned into ???. So, if it’s like that, desires will also steadily come out.”

On the 12th of August, the double A single [Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~] will be released. It’s Ayu’s new experiment, consisting of one melody but two different lyrics and arrangements.

“Sunrise is a summery, happy pop-tune, but whilst writing the lyrics I thought, “it would be nice if I turned it into a ballad, right?”. In that way, the ballad Sunset, glowing with the melancholy of the end of summer, was born.”

The subject of Sunrise is “you”, and that of Sunset is “me”. As for Sunset; I wondered if girls can sympathize with it more easily. But because I feel both songs have become each other’s ‘answer song’, I feel people can sympathize with both songs.

“Because I also wrote the songs with the theme ‘father & daughter love’ in my mind, it’s not only about romantic love, but about family love and friendship as well. I wrote the songs to fit different kinds of love.
Though I didn’t create them this way from the start, I can’t imagine them as separate anymore; both songs respond to each other.”

Ayu said, “I want to take good care of my present self”. Music, fashion, love; everything concerning Ayu is the present.
Everything continues to move forward and continues to change ---.

Information about choreography and TA Members in the PVs:
Quote:
Ayu said in one message that almost 1000 people applied for participate in the PV's, but only 300 can be selected.

Also said that she has been doing a lot of dance rehearsals. The coreography of Sunrise PV is created by Zin, and the one for Sunset is created by Maro.
Ayu's comment regarding the creation of the song from Dandy Daddy's site:
Quote:
It's been a long since I've written a theme song for a TV drama, this time, to be able to receive this invitation (to write Sunrise), I feel really honored.

After reading the script and carefully understanding the feelings of the role played by -the male lead's name-, and through my own understanding, I have written these lyrics.

It's a song that gets everyone to be energized and happy, I hope everyone embraces this summer's memory, and look forward to this song.
- translated from Chinese by waterballoon

Snippet of the lyrics by ear:
Quote:
もっと大きな声で もっと大きな愛を
君に届くよにいつも胸に響かせたい
もっと大きな声で もっと大きな愛を叫ぶから

Rough general translation/romaji of the lyrics from an amazing friend:
The love is being carried to the other person through their voice.
And it resounds in their heart.
And that growing love will call out through that voice.

motto ooki na koe de motto ooki na ai wo
kimi ni todoku yo ni itsumo mune ni hibikasetai
motto ooki na koe de motto ooki na ai wo yobu kara

-lyricized translation-
Through this growing voice, this growing love
Will reach you and always resound in your heart
I'll call out this growing love through my growing voice

Translation from TakaSama:
"With a louder voice, a greater love
Will reach you
I always want it to ring in my heart
because a louder voice will bring forth greater love"

There are lyrics, but I'm waiting for masa's.

tenshi no hane's translation is in a separate thread.

Wait, half day sales at 7k+?? Sounds like someone is pulling legs.. uh..

Whoever keeps rating these threads one star really needs to grow a pair. I'm sorry, but grow up already.

I kind of hope that it's not true that S/S numbers will be a bit higher (at least like R/S first day). xD
If it's true though it might have more longetivity or smaller drops than R/S and might outsell it eventually.

I see. But it's quite good, no? I mean for a single that has only 2 versions and no FP... usually Ayu singles have like 4 versions and a FP or something like that...

Yes though if the first days are not so far some k-wise the few versions weren't what really made them sell most likely.
The number is good though, yes =D

Yeah, what I figured is that if there are multiple versions it would help more and FP are omg lol they jack up the sales for the first day and then the second day the numbers just drop... happens to both Ayu & Kuu...

Yes, adding to that what's why I think NEXT LEVEL mutiple versions didn't help too much, the 2CD+DVD and the USB versions were really expensive, live albums/CDs aren't popular and the USB was limited.
With only CD and CD+DVD versions I think NL would do the same or slightly less than what it sells (mainly because of the limited USB versions that sold out).

Oh I still remember I was wondering where the USB sales went into cos there were no drastic changes to the sales lol.
