Thank you for the translation ! It's very interesting.
But I have to make it clear : Shimoko didn't direct Melody's PV. It was Masashi Muto.

I recall someone that was almost exactly like Shimoko though in that PV's production, lol.

First thank you for the translation. I only recognise some words and grammatical patterns but I am unable to put it into a clear structure ;D

Question: In the first part, Ayu says, that PRAY is a song for TA. Now I wonder, because This interview is for her 15th anniversary 2013, why she is mentioning Pray. Pray was released 2014 isn´t it? So, did she give this information too early?

Iirc this magazine was released in 2014 and this is not for Ayu's 15th anniversary since debut, but for the anniversary of TeamAyu.

Does anyone know why the interviewer says aside from Secret when asking about songs she doesn't like to perform? I knew about poker face because of her grandma but had no idea about Secret.

^ From a recent 109 News interview about A One (I think), she said this:

Quote:
Q: I subtly felt the determination of the artist Ayumi Hamasaki in this album, and even in the single you released at the end of year with the songs Zutto…, Walk and Last minute. The album shares a similar atmosphere to your previous albums Secret and MY STORY in which there are songs that include the message “If I’m going to continue singing as Ayumi Hamasaki, then I want to be this kind of Ayumi Hamasaki” yet also singing about the struggles such a life brings.
A: That might be true. I felt the past me was “already gone”, but now I feel “She’s still here” “For good or bad, I’m still the way I was” — Actually, I felt I could no longer sing Secret. I felt I was past that side of me. But that wasn’t the case at all. I can still sing Secret, to put it extremely, I feel this album taught me that I haven’t changed much since I created A Song for XX. My surroundings may have changed, but there’s still a part deep inside of me that thinks “People are born alone and will die alone”. The people who related to songs like A Song for XX have changed as well over the years, that’s what I thought. But with this album, I feel like we can say “In the end, we’re still the same” to each other. If there are people who, when they calmy look back at themselves, feel “Huh? The core part of me hasn’t changed, huh” just like I did, I’d like to say “Don’t be sad about it. If it’s true, then let’s accept it and walk together.” Our lives are only just beginning. — I had these kinds of thoughts.

Secret is one of those songs she's publicly mentioned as one that she felt she wasn't able to sing anymore for a bit because of various factors (lyrical content?), but of course, it was proven wrong when she was able to during Cirque.

Thank you so much for the translations, that was an interesting read. When she was talking about her debut days and them going to record shops bowing their heads for support, it made me feel so...nostalgic of her weaker self. Now she's grown so much stronger and more mature. It's kind of amazing.

I'm glad she was able to perform Secret. It's a beautiful song.

I understand the reservation towards certain songs, though. I mean, sometimes I do art that's personal to me as well.
