NEXT LEVEL

動き出す次のステージへ向けて僕たちは歩き続ける
どこまでも続くこの一本道を僕たちは光り続ける（？）
ここからもう一度始まってくスタートをどんなふうにきっていけるのかな

空を見上げたらふわり笑顔がこぼれたよ
恐くないよ大丈夫だよって聞こえた
空を見上げたら不意に涙がこぼれたよ
過去に残した傷跡さえ今は愛しい

響いてる未来を告げる合図が　僕たちは瞳合わせる
高鳴るこの鼓動　何を選び、描いてどんな地図が出来上がるのかな

風を感じたらぎゅっと強く手を握ろう　
多くの言葉なんてもう必要ないから
風を感じたらぐっと強く歩き出そう　
同じ速度で同じ景色眺めて行こう

That's fast. It seems Avex is trying more online than traditional promo this time around.

[Tasked]

:S lol.. i wonder if they'll do this for all songs on the album..

[Melrose]

Wow, thanks Coe!

I'm so excited, this song is amazingly beautiful. <3 She hasn't had such a pretty sounding ballad since JEWEL IMO.

And the good thing with this fast release is that the CM version hasn't been changed! Yay! Like how they messed up GREEN after the CM to make it sound less happy/hopeful and more rock-ish.

But the lyrics are so strange? Two verses and two chorusses? Oh wait, that's normal. =p But still, no bridge lyrics? And it looks so short. I hope it will have a HEAVEN / M type of build.

Wow that IS fast..., thanks for the lyrics.

[MissElin_]

Ooooh coolio. Can't wait! ^^

[maaya]

wow!! hope someone'll upload it soon >,< i love NEXT LEVEL~

[Lanz16]

Parts... AGAIN?!?

They do too much OL promotion than traditional ones.
Anyways, I do hope someone will translate it for us.

[aqua_crystal]

Interesting~~ Thanks for the info.

[Minttulatte]

Avex has strange promoting policy for NEXT LEVEL.

[Aisha_Angel]

I don't really like it...(the song). It really reminds me of Minami Kuribayashi's {Rumbling Hearts} era with Ayu's vocals.

[Tasked]

I romanized the first part:

ugokidasu no steegi e mukete bokutachi wa aruki tsudzukeru
doko made mo tsudzuku kono ippon michi o bokutachi wa hikari tsudzukeru
koko kara mou ichido hajimatte ku staato o donna fuu ni kitte ikeru no kana

sora wo miagetara fuwari egao ga koboreta yo
kowakunai yo daijoubu da yo tte kikoeta
sora wo miagetara fui ni namida ga koboreta yo
kako ni nokoshita kizuato sae ima no itoshii

and I roughly translated a part that I think is the chorus:

Look up at the sky, and maybe you will smile
Don't be afraid to yell out that you are fine
Look up at the sky, and maybe suddenly, your tears will overflow
You can leave the past and its scars behind now , my love

[PINKvanity]

ooooo! i hope someone will get them. i would if i had any clue how and im pretty sure my phone doesnt know how to do that take a picture thing.

[Dokiyo]

Y_Y..more thing to make me be even more anxious for the release date of that album...ughh....gonna be a hard wait this time...Y_Y!~

[freedreamer]

i get this very bright and spring feeling...with the "Sora" and the "Kaze"
she seems very positive on this song...

cant believe its out already..

i feel its another Tetsuya composition..the lacking of a bridge

[waterballoon]

It really feels like Ayu is going the NEXT LEVEL in musical style, lyrics, and now even marketing!

I think they're trying to use ringtones (which somehow is more popular?) as promos instead of TV, radio and magazines.
