so ayu know that not everyone will like this single..but she follow her heart and do something what she wants to do...
i love BnD and pride...its something new and fresh..the pv is good too..although its really different from her usual PV..but overall this interview is a really nice part to understand ayu more deeply

I think it's funny- you have all these people saying how they love Ayumi so much, and she's such a beautiful person, but then she starts releasing music that really reflects her, and not stuff people want, "omg she's going down!!"

I think it's sort of funny too xD But then again, were those songs that people 'LOVE' really her? :F You know like M and Seasons..

Thank you very much for the translation!

This is probably one of the best interviews I've seen with her in a while. I love the comments she makes about doing what she wants. That's my girl!

This article really changes my view of B.A.D. & Pride, nice to know how much heart she put into both and how she just wanted to have fun a be herself.

But still, I don't like either song. :P

I think the same, I think it's already said that's she;s doing what she wants and I didn't need her to tell me this cause I already knew!... she's having fun, she's doing what she want, she dosen't has to proove anything to anyone anymore, and She's realsing good music. I like the part where she says 'she dosen't care what others think' cause it's true her music speaks for herself.

don't you love when ayu speaks and you feel she's talking to you cause U get her? well I feel like this...as if she were talking to me with her songs. For instance when she released Step you, it was like she was in sync with me! I needed a song like that and so on for the rest of the songs, (till B.A.D came along, I had my doubts but in the end I got it) and now that I think about it I felt like when ayu said that she wanted to thrown a song and ppl would be like WTH? haha..

sankyou verymcuh for thranslating this! n_n

agreed :yes

more new styles from ayu, plx. Thx for the post~
I like her even more, this is our queen of Asia~~

Thank you for this.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I'm so delighted to get into the Queen Ayu's mind and see what was going on w/ the NY and Bold&Delicious stuff ^^ I LOVE HER!! i can't wait for (miss) understood! >.<

Thanks for the translation! It's good to see change. Everyone changes throughout life and if she didn't reflect it in her music I think she would get old, so it's nice that she's keeping on top of it all (tho i still don't really like B&D).

As for Pride, I don't really understand how it is like Phantom of the Opera at all.... then again, it's been a while since I've seen or heard it, and all i can think of is the main song. It reminds me of something, but not a musical.... hmm

thanks! this is really interesting

thanks

She did write the lyrics. O_o The original was in english remember? xD
