Lyrics
Spoiler:
Virgin Road

Translation by Misa-chan (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...00&postcount=8)
Hey, all this while, the loneliness, the pain, the guilt
And love. For all these, with my heart, "Thank you"

Hey, all this while, the things which I could not say
uh- If I had the words, for this life, "Thank you"

That day, when I didn't treasure myself
The one who got hurt, was not me

I can't forget the day when
I first saw tears on that always cheerful profile

I met someone who said "I love you, and want to protect you"
From now on, the two of us will set off together
No matter what sadness we'll face, what happiness we'll meet
No matter if we're apart, we promised to live on together
So please watch over me

Hey, from now on, everything which may happen
uh- I'll be grateful for it, from now till forever, "Thank you"

There were also nights when we argued, cried, yelled
And ran away from home

Even so, in the end, someday,
I will be understood by someone. I know that

I realized that, someone I met and loved a long time ago,
is so much like the you, whom I love now

I realized that, someone I met and loved a long time ago,
is so much like the you, whom I love now
Like that impulsive behaviour, I feel like I've known it before
When I noticed that, a single tear, so very warm,
Traced down my cheek

Hey, all this while, the loneliness, the pain, the guilt
And love. For all these, with my heart, "Thank you"

Kana and romaji from tokyoxjapanxfan (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103875)
ねぇ今までの 孤独や痛みや罪
愛 その全てに心からありがとう

ねぇ今まで ちゃんと言えずにいた
uh-言葉がある この命をありがとう

自分を大事に出来なかったあの日
傷ついたのは私なんかじゃなかった

いつでも明るく振る舞ってきたその
横顔に初めて涙見た日忘れない

こんな私の事を愛し 守りたいと言ってくれる
人に出逢いました これからふたり共に歩き出します
どんな悲しみが襲っても どんな喜びに出逢っても
どんな瞬間も分かち合い 生きて行くと誓いました
どうか 見守ってて

ねぇこれから 起きて行く全てにも
uh-感謝してくよ これからもずっとありがとう

言い争って泣いたままで叫んだり
家を飛び出して行った夜もあったね

それでも結局いつでも誰よりも
理解してきてくれた事わかってるから

貴女がいつかのその昔 出逢い愛したあの人と
私が愛している人は どこか似てる様な気がします

貴女がいつかのその昔 出逢い愛したあの人と
私が愛している人は どこか似てる様な気がします
例えばふとしたしぐさに どこか面影感じる
そこに気付いたとき涙が 一粒頬をつたいました
とても温かい

ねぇ今までの 孤独や痛みや罪
愛 その全てに心からありがとう

crossroad
Translated by maikaru (post @ http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...stcount=437:):
There are sometimes I wonder
How much different
Is the scenery I can see from here
Than the one I drew in my dreams?

That time, when it was the beginning of the crossroad,
I said "It might be better to choose this way."
That time, when it was the beginning of the crossroad,
I wondered what was on the other side.

But I'm still moving forward,
And I haven't lost yet. (NOTE: Like, a fight. Not lost in the road or something)

I wonder if that person
Who, so they wouldn't get hurt,
Protected them self by pretending to be strong,
Came to laugh well?

Something that is continuously Changing,
Something that came to be changed,
And something that cannot change,
Am I able to be laughing well?

There are only nostalgic memories.
I unexpectedly went too far,
On the road that rolls on everywhere,
And when I did that, it was warm, but painful.

"What did I lose
While I was turning into an adult?"
"What is this thing that keeps multiplying,
While I'm turning into an adult?"
Even this moment when I am thinking this things,
Is also turning into the past.

I got the feeling that
The person I passed now
Resembled someone's profile
From sometime, but

Without being able
To call out for that person,
I stared at their back,
As they went far off.

But I'm still moving forward,
And I haven't lost yet.

I wonder if that person
Who, so they wouldn't get hurt,
Protected them self by pretending to be strong,
Came to laugh well?

Something that is continuously changing,
Something that came to be changed
And something that cannot change,
Am I able to be laughing well?

Kana lyrics:
ここから見えている景色は
夢に描いていた景色と
どのくらい違うのかな
なんて思う時があるよね

あの時立った分かれ道の始まり
選んだ方はこっちでよかったかなって
あの時立った分かれ道の反対
側にあったのはなんだったのかなって

それでも進み続けてる
まだ負けてなんかいないよって

傷つかない様に
強がる事だけで
自分を守っていた
アイツはうまく笑えるようになったかな

変わって行く事
変えて来た事
変えられない事
私はうまく笑えてる?

懐かしい想い出達ばかり
そこらじゅうに転がる道を
偶然通り過ぎたら
温かいけど苦しかった

大人になって行く程に失って
きたものは一体何だったかなって
大人になって行く程に増えてく
これって一体ねぇ何なのかなって
考えたこの瞬間
さえもほら過去に変わってくね

今すれ違った
誰かがいつかの
あの子の横顔に
見えたような気がしたのにどうして

声をかける事
さえも出来ないまま
遠ざかって行く
後ろ姿を見つめてた

それでも進み続けてる
まだ負けてなんかいないよって

傷つかない様にと
強がる事それだけで
自分を守っていた
アイツはうまく笑えるようになったかな

変わって行く事とか
変えて来た事とか
変えられない事
私はうまく笑えてる?

Just got an email from mu-mo for my order in TA shop...

They say sth like this:

Quote:

This e-mail is sent to all our customers which orders include the following items.

[Product] 9/29 Ayumi Hamasaki 50th single "L"
[Changes] (old) Special Limited Edition with a special package → (New) Any
※ no other changes to the benefits.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
So... no special package T_________T

nanakopy87 18th September 2010 03:34 AM

HARRRR!!!!how can they do that???!!!
any?means they might have it.might not have it?

JackieRos 18th September 2010 03:39 AM

let's see if I can follow this thread


I was confused at first about blossom pv's being news right now since
moon/blossom was released weeks ago.


idk how I feel about that but I guess good marketing?

hud 18th September 2010 03:45 AM

^ Yeah until JYJ get involved in a scandal that is making some fans cancel their pre-orders so...

love in music 18th September 2010 03:46 AM

seriously, what is their problem? no special package? gdi avex it's her 50th single and it deserves it. so pissed.

love in music 18th September 2010 03:53 AM

^ i got the email too. mine says it came about 2 hours ago

Ranma Matsuri 18th September 2010 03:57 AM

WTF? No special package? Booooo. That was like the ONLY reason to get a 1st press copy... -___-

HTMSD 18th September 2010 04:13 AM

So it's official that there are no special packages of the first press??
*switched order to HMV*

nanakopy87 18th September 2010 04:16 AM

i think only mu-mo and cdj said that it comes with special packaging right?i remember official site didn't mention about it

Ranma Matsuri 18th September 2010 04:43 AM

^It was mentioned on the official site first.

majrakun 18th September 2010 04:51 AM

Well, that sucks. :/ That was the main reason I decided to get L in the first place. Is that an accurate translation though? Can someone post the actual message?

truehappiness 18th September 2010 04:52 AM

It's still mentioned on CDJapan and other places...

Max said that he got the sample and that it was gorgeous or w/e so maybe instead of being first press only, they're just going to have special packaging for all copies? Haha.

ストロボ・EdGE 18th September 2010 04:53 AM

I'm pissed off. The special packaging was one of the reasons I pre-ordered the physical single. Of course I'm not canceling or anything but UGHHH!!!

Not to crush anyone's hopes, but when max used gorgeous, he could well be referring to the music, instead of the packaging.

nanakopy87 18th September 2010 05:00 AM

oh gosh.so,means there is no special packaging for the single.i almost wanna pre-order it because of the special packaging T_T

Just because he said it was gorgeous...why does that make you think anything?
They exaggerate...that implies absolutely nothing about special packaging...he could simply be referring to the covers.

He said "完パケ" so he was referring to the package... :shakehead

truehappiness 18th September 2010 05:34 AM

I was just about to say that he mentioned the "pake" or w/e. Maybe someone could ask Ayu about it?

But he could've just received the package with L in it too, but eh, we'll find out in two weeks~

Maybe we could try to tweet her (not Max since he won't answer anymore for a moment on Twitter because of his mood...)

Somthing like ”「L」のパケはどんなパケージ?スゴイ気になるけど(._.*)スペーシャルパケとかですか? ”
But know she will have a haircut (well change color..) for tomorrow's CM shooting.

Bigtop 18th September 2010 05:52 AM

Ugh... Not another haircut...

asmAyumi1992 18th September 2010 06:52 AM

I hope the haircut turns good. I'm hoping another haircut like in GUILTY era :yes

Mirrorcle Monster 18th September 2010 06:55 AM

I love her GUILTY era haircut...it was great...

Yagami Raito 18th September 2010 07:16 AM

I don't think she will change so much the haircut since she will hold the 7 SPECIAL DAYS concert.... so she has to keep almost the same style than during the tour no?... Maybe she will just arrange it a bit, but the main will be the color.

Virgin Road is such a touching piano ballad! omg it's so touching T____T

yes i know... but what i mean is that she better doesn't sing Virgin Road at the end of each concert... because omg.. that's the most touching part... and she might break in tears, together with everyone else haha :cry

Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~ 18th September 2010 09:35 AM

Virgin Road is one of her best ballad yet again!!!

:D :D it's so wintery and I have to say that her vocal is finally in the best condition now! :heart

and I hope Last Angel will be as awesome as this... :yes

Kanzaki 18th September 2010 09:36 AM

I think I've played it about 6-7 times now, and I'm still crying when I hear it. It's really unusual for me to be this emotional over something. The power of Ayu's music...omg...

SURREAL__RAINBOW 18th September 2010 09:40 AM

I seriously wouldn't mind if she ditches pop and rock for these type of ballads lol .... omg sooooooo perfect.

it's not a big a surprise for me tho since I've always loved AYu's ballads XDD

There was a lot of 'disappointment' since it was announched that Ayu was going to release another ballad single... some people .. yeah also me.. but.. well.. I wasn't complaning that much :innocent even claimed that this was her lowest point of her career. But, no.. maybe it's even the best :D

ayumisrael 18th September 2010 09:44 AM

ayu just made few of her best ballads on these singles (not all the songs of course) so I couldn't care less that all of the present single songs are ballads!

Kanzaki 18th September 2010 09:53 AM

If they're ballads like this, I don't care at all how many we get. It's like M all over again for me.

joshohhhhh 18th September 2010 09:54 AM

now i just need the 'crossroad' single to leak today and i'll be set.

Luja. 18th September 2010 09:55 AM

didn't hear Virgin Road so far but about the packaging, from the eMail aura~ posted I just understand that the special packaging will be the first press extra whereas no other bonuses will be there. Like posters? Maybe they cut out the posters at some shops? Because for YA, they also still have "waiting for stock" for the posters, normally they put "preorder" for them as well.
I want my pretty special packaging:laugh And I want to know how the songs sound!!*o*

truehappiness 18th September 2010 09:57 AM

They still have B2 posters and all that, but it appears as though the "special packaging" first press edition was canceled or something.

There was an image indicating as such at mu-mo and they removed it. It's weird since it's so close to the release date, but we'll see when we get pictures of the single or confirmation from Ayu.

Virgin Road seems to have come from USEN. Like Microphone and Don't look back, it seems that the songs (crossroad and Virgin Road) were released early for request on USEN.

So, the "special packaging" is really canceled afterall :(
That's really sucks.

I haven't heard the Virgin Road, I'll wait for my copy to arrive :)

chu-lips 18th September 2010 10:04 AM

dont know but for me CROSSROAD is better,,,,n catchy....
may be i'm just not used to it yet,,,,,

Ayumiko 18th September 2010 10:10 AM

OMG..O_o....virgin road is amazing!! the voice! the arrangement! :luv2

Heavenly 18th September 2010 10:22 AM

TeamAyuオフィシャルショップ、mu-moショップをご利用頂き誠にありがとうございます。

ご予約ご注文頂きました商品の仕様が変更となりましたので以下の通りお知らせいたします。

【対象商品】9/29発売 浜崎あゆみ50thシングル『L』
【変更点】 (旧)初回限定特殊パッケージ仕様 → (新)なし
※その他の特典に変更はございません。

お客様には大変ご迷惑をおかけいたしますが、
今後とも変わらぬご愛顧の程、何卒宜しくお願い申し上げます。
I see it liek this:

changes: (before) the first press was a special package -> (now) any (....first press package)

Anyway, tokyoxjapanxfan already posted in the other thred how the package info was delated from both mu-mo and TA, and since those are the avex shops, it's them we have to trust... other online stores that have it as first press will probably change it some days...

Maybe Max Matsuura got the special package when it was still planned to give it as first press... but they couldn't do it at the end for whatever...

well... I was not purchasing L for the package but because it's ayu's 50th single =)


*gonna listen to virgin road ^o^*

bluegie 18th September 2010 10:33 AM

Hmmn, Virgin Road sounds pretty good. It's not the usual verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus chorus type :P.
I love the bridge music :D

'SEVEN DAYS WAR' has such mature and beautiful vocals. :D

xLuna&1LOVE 18th September 2010 11:40 AM

First virgin road's been lecked.Now the crossroad single. New album in progress.
Best day ever.

bluegie 18th September 2010 11:40 AM

Album is already in progress? Wow that's fast :D. I dun mind a 2 albums in less than a year :D.

joshohhhhh 18th September 2010 11:42 AM

oh wow, the 'blossom' remix sounds sounds 'rollin' ~episode~ II'. lol

Ayu_Ready 18th September 2010 11:43 AM

waow VirginRoad is an epic ballad ! Can't wait for others songs !

freedreamer 18th September 2010 11:44 AM

I just died. The orchestra, the chorus totally having a different feel from the fragile and moving verses...i only have one word..EPIC. I can totally see a period epic drama fit the chorus..and the verses are soooo ..i dunno how to describe them...its just prfect how it all comes together. I love songs with a sad chorus and rather neutral verse. and ahhhh im freaking out so much now. Orchestra ballad by Ayu finally!!! all those orchestra remixes finally lead up to this ballad *cries*

edit: i thoroughly moved. i feel like crying hearing the opening verse.

Takakayu 18th September 2010 11:52 AM

In crossroad PV she burned herself and became rose petals! [via ayu-mi-rror1218@ayuchina]

bluegie 18th September 2010 11:56 AM

^That sounds horrible... Unless she is burned beautifully..

Mirrorcle Monster 18th September 2010 11:56 AM

That was a great spoiler guy....

OMG! I can't wait to see what that looks like! :luv2

After listening to the Crossroad single, I can't help but feel disappointed. I like Crossroad, but SEVEN DAYS WAR is kinda boring (and just a cover) and the remix isn't as powerful as I had imagined.

L, on the other hand.. Here I was, complaining about too many ballads, and then she comes with Virgin Road.. This has to be her best ballad in a very long time. It's gorgeous!

yupp.i agree with you XD
i keep on looping virgin road right now

bluegie 18th September 2010 12:05 PM

Almost everyone is turning their heads towards Virgin Road now... at least please visit more crossroad before heading there... lol..

noisy_harmony 18th September 2010 12:06 PM

I've been waiting for a ballad like Virgin Road so long, but at the same time I've never, never expected her to have a song like this... Such a wonderful and gorgeous piece of music. You're sooo awesome Ayu. :inlove

crossroad still sounds epic. SEVEN DAYS WAR... hmm... It has to grow on me, it sounds a bit plain for a moment. blossom's remix... :shakehead

Mirrorcle Monster 18th September 2010 12:09 PM

Hope we get the full PV soon...

xLuna&1LOVE 18th September 2010 12:13 PM

Most exciting day ever. I HAVE to see that PV. It's my fate :D

ayumisrael 18th September 2010 12:17 PM

crossroad is an amazing single !!

CMJK did well remixing blossom actually!

TITANIC 18th September 2010 12:56 PM

ouuchh. First I really blaming on Ayu why she release another ballad song again but after playing virgin road I turn myself back and really love it. I shed my tears. there's no song can make me cry after HEAVEN. haha. good job ayu.

her maxi single always awesome A H & now L

freedreamer 18th September 2010 12:58 PM

Lolll...damn spoiler..but it makes me excited to watch it!! I guess that was the shock element after all. I'm so sorry crossroad, I'm so hooked to Virgin Road. Ayu kept us at the road junction and now I'm walking down the new road :)

fuawas 18th September 2010 01:08 PM

Well I thought she was going to burn something, but the TVs not herself LOL
I can't wait to get the whole PV *O* It's going to be so awesome to watch that ^_^

SURREAL__RAINBOW 18th September 2010 01:11 PM

wow... so somehow I think the 3 singles are connected because:


MOON pv: she gets covered with that black liquid
crossroad pv: she burns herself
Virgin Road pv: something else will happen to her?? or maybe in the other pv


They all have to have a common meaning I think...

puddinx 18th September 2010 01:26 PM

OMG Virgin Road. :thud
The melody is so touching. T_T
Better than MOON, better than You were..., better than BALLAD. :luv2
