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?

Virgin road is so lovely. I hope the Pv does it justice. The other 2 are ok but Last Angel stands out more; it sounds alittle like old Ayu as many have said. Everytime the song begins to play and she is about to sing, I find my self expecting to hear Surreal Marc et Claude remix....
Is it just Last Angel that isn't getting a PV?

Huh? It seems most people LOVE it. I think I'm the only one who downright completely hates it. I tried and tried and tried listening to it but it only makes me anxious. :/ I really really want to like it but I can't. But if a PV were to come out like on her next album, I think it'd be really cool. Definitely is reminiscent of the old Ayu, but that doesn't necessarily make it good for me.

I'm liking Sweet Season more and more though~

Nackar_91 26th September 2010 07:45 PM

I don't like Last Angel either. I don't HATE it, I just don't like it. Yes, I was waiting for something upbeat, but I'd only barely call this upbeat. I was hoping for something faster and more powerful. Like STEP You, RULE, or even Sparkle.

Still, I love Sweet Season and Virgin Road so I'm not at all disappointed with the single.

To me it sounds like Connected cheated on Sparkle with evolution, and Last angel was the bastard offspring. It's just horrible, I'm sorry. :no

I personally wouldn't have minded all ballads or mid-tempo songs for L. But hey, MOON, blossom, crossroad, Sweat Season, and Virgin Road, so there had to be something else.

maikaru 26th September 2010 07:56 PM

I LOOOOOOVE Sweet Season. It was exactly the song I was looking forward, and she delivered. It's like now my favourite Ayu ballad, because it's so warm, positive, and also sung very well.

I LOVE "kira, kira, kira." It's SOOO Catchy.

Also Last Angel is pretty good too. I am not disappointed at all. GREAT single~

Minttulatte 26th September 2010 07:56 PM

I personally am not sure about what to think about Last angel anymore. At first I didn't like it, then I kinda like it because of the lyrics and now I don't know what to say. I need to listen to the single a bit more to see if it grows on me eventually. :D

And isn't this thread's number supposed to be 12th (XII)? x) Just a note because it really confused me to realize there was two threads with the same name. Then I saw that the other thread had over 500 posts lol. :D

Mirrorcle Monster 26th September 2010 07:57 PM

Last Angel it's my least favourite song of all her singles (excluding SEVEN DAYS WAR) but still LOVE it, and maybe it will grow on me.
Sweet Season is just lovely, it reminds me of Days but more happy.
And Virgin Road is just an EPIC ballad and the best song of this year

gogirlanime 26th September 2010 08:02 PM

OM*G Ayu's shooting people in Virgin Road! haha never thought I'd see that coming with her.

jon_the_d 26th September 2010 09:07 PM

this thread is the same number as the old one :/

can't wait to see the full virgin road pv.

also, Last Angel is fricking amazing.

rakeru 26th September 2010 10:47 PM

So far I'm completely happy with L. Obviously I haven't seen the PVs yet, but they'd have to be pretty retched to turn me off the single entirely.

ive realized that on the thoughts on L thread
but on the last thread it was just more dislike or indifference for the last couple pages i noticed...or just find all of the ballads better.
but there always has to be someone who hates it, right? congrats, its you lol <3

anyway the lyrics are to melancholy to be another sparkle and rule. at least to me
i like how this song flows more beautifully and not just a random fun dance song. its beautiful.

it would be cool if it had a pv but i kind of like leaving it up to the imagination


ahhh~~~~ i want virgin road pv

Bigtop 26th September 2010 11:21 PM

Yeah, where's the Virgin Road full music video? I think the crossroad music video went into full on TV on M-ON!, which is a competitor to SSTV...

adantatu2 26th September 2010 11:45 PM

ayu is a killer, interesting, can't wwait

As far as I know it didn't, or it did after the single was released.
we got the full crossroad PV but it was a DVD rip and not a TV rip. (at least that's what I think, I could be wrong though)

Btw does it matter if SSTV is a competitor of M-ON if avex/ayu themselves choose to release short versions of the PV? I don't really understand that part of your comment...

a. crossroad (Short ver.) premiered on SSTV.
b. once a video premiers, all stations get it
c. crossroad's full PV was and has never been aired on TV

Shouldn't it be "XII" rather than "XI" on the title? This can be quite confusing, especially when the last thread has just got started on its 27th page!

Anyways, maybe double-check JPopsuki...

JackieRos 27th September 2010 03:12 AM

so last angel doesn't get a pv?

Ranma Matsuri 27th September 2010 03:14 AM

^Nope, it doesn't. :P

Andrenekoi 27th September 2010 03:26 AM

crossroad full PV was broadcasted by M-ON after single release. The same for blossom.

ストロボ・EdGE 27th September 2010 03:28 AM

So I guess none of the L songs will be performed on TV? :/

why tomatoes? most people here love Last Angel too.

adantatu2 27th September 2010 06:13 AM

I love Last Angel too, and i really want a pv in the new album, but with ayu of course

Ranma Matsuri 27th September 2010 06:15 AM

^^^LOL don't worry you guys are actually in the majority that likes/loves Last Angel. The rest of us just got our say in at the tail end of the hype. :P

A-TeensFan 27th September 2010 06:23 AM

CDJapan just shipped my L to me, FedEx tracking estimates it'll be delivered tomorrow :x i'm so happpyyyyy

? She hasn't not had a PV (eventually) for an A-side in 9 years; I think it's safe to say there'll be a PV.

Well.. if you put it like that.. I'm relieved! :) thanks.

I freaking LOVE Last Angel, best song in a long time, and definitely the best song of this entire 3-singles project if you ask me. (Although blossom and Virgin Road are very good as well, too bad she picked none of my favorite songs as "main" A-sides)

Cherry Dynamite 27th September 2010 10:39 AM

I got my copy! Woah that was fast.

HarukaKamiya 27th September 2010 11:30 AM

My copies of crossroad and L are apparently SO awesome that HMV lists their delivery date as November 6th. O________o;;

nanomi 27th September 2010 02:11 PM

My L order shipped today. Yay. But my copy of crossroad hasn't arrived yet......: < Where are youuu crossroad?!

LacusClyne 27th September 2010 05:42 PM

my L single is here!!!!!!!! omg! this is the first time i get my single 2 days before release date!!!

i'm watching the pv now!

bye~~~~~~~~~~

Mine has shipped too and I also chose Air Mail :dead2. Everything else is so expensive! But then with my new lack of enthusiasm for the single I tried to change the shipping method to SAL but it was too late, haha.

LacusClyne, beautiful! Will you upload the PV's here? Or at least spoil us on what happens in the end of Virgin Road? lol

waterballoon 27th September 2010 06:01 PM

identity, where's your ava from?? :Q_____

LacusClyne 27th September 2010 06:02 PM

i can't rip the dvd(don't know how), but i can tell you what happen in the pv

Spoiler:
no one die in the pv, both of them ran off hand in hand.


as for SS, it might be a little boring in the begining, as it's more on the kids. but THE ENDING!!!
i love her look and the make up, very dark and punkish, something tells me it might be [to be continue...]

Corvina 27th September 2010 07:35 PM

Have to say I love Last Angel!
Don't like Sweet Seasons though and Virgin Road is just ok for me (but I love the second chorus).
After crossroad the second song I love again from Ayu for a longer time,it's getting better. Yay!

Ahaha, Ayu mentions the surprise at the end of Sweet Season~

I wonder why that was stuck in there.

AyuWorld 27th September 2010 08:04 PM

hope we can get the full PV soon XDD im avoiding from all the spoilers now XD

Mine shipped today at 3 in the morning for me so it should be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow since i chose fedex ;p
WOOOT!:)

Mirrorcle Monster 27th September 2010 09:34 PM

Please someone rip the DVD soon...

Could you (or someone who has the single already) record the screen or something? I'm dying to see both pvs *___*

joshohhhhh 28th September 2010 12:03 AM

any word on the remixes from the other versions?

fuawas 28th September 2010 12:07 AM

Mine's still processing >.<
That's the only thing that I don't like of YA... sometimes it takes a while before they ship your order xD
But I hope I get crossroad, L and the other stuff I ordered before the end of the week, maybe next Monday ^_^

I'm so sorry I have no idea how to rip DVD and I have a really slow internet connection.
I'm sorry~

EDIT : Okay I'm reading tutorials about ripping now. This might take a while though.

^Oh don't worry, I guess we'll get them by tomorrow ^^ If it's too boring for you don't spoil your evening ! Thank you for going to a great deal of trouble for our account !

I finished ripping Virgin Road now lol
the problem starts here my internet is slow.

AnteaterAdvance 28th September 2010 12:42 AM

My L is apparently going to be available for pickup at the post tomorrow morning. (=º◊°) JOY!

Cherry Dynamite 28th September 2010 01:09 AM

Finished uploading Virgin Road PV, it's not HQ though. I'm uploading Sweet Season now.

adantatu2 28th September 2010 01:15 AM

^thanks a lot Cherry
so excited

love in music 28th September 2010 01:43 AM

ok, Virgin Road is officially my favorite ayu PV ever. it was so cute and awesome.
As for Sweet Season, it got kind of boring but the twist ending was really sad :( i really like the message in it though.

pepper 28th September 2010 01:43 AM

The main pain for me it's she looks SO GOOD in these long hair in VR! SOOOOOOO good. Why she can use that hairstyle in promotion? For mags only even, please ;_;

freedreamer 28th September 2010 01:45 AM

^doesnt she have longer ash-brown hair now?

I LOVE THE ENDING!!!! OMg she looked like an amazon beauty with that hair and her smile was drop-dead gorgeous. the CM kinda spoiled the most beautiful moment lol..but i love the last chorus scenes. i saw her mouthing something, i tot she was speaking with her lover but she was singing haha...
i love how the acting is all kept natural..thats the most beautiful part and the angles and composition of each frame was really good. the last scene really was a winning photo, if it was still

yabieru 28th September 2010 01:48 AM

Thank you for the rips! Virgin Road shocked me a lot, I'm going to see Sweet season ^^

adantatu2 28th September 2010 01:57 AM

the ending is so epic, i love it

pepper 28th September 2010 02:06 AM

Wow, i completely understand ending of SS, i really love it, I didn't expect that!

I still find song boring, but PV makes me like it a little.

SURREAL__RAINBOW 28th September 2010 02:09 AM

where can i watch both pvs?? :(

truehappiness 28th September 2010 02:10 AM

Sweet Season is really cute, but the end... aww :(

Download...
or Wait the CD...
Download...
or Wait the CD...

Hard to choose >.<

Ah well, I think I'm gonna download the Virgin Road PV d(>.<)b

bluegie 28th September 2010 02:35 AM

These two pvs have something in common... Ayu didn't "sing" that much in both pvs. I don't mind about in VR, but I wish she sang more in Sweet Seasons tho.

Yeah.. the ending is quite surprising.. It's a bit sad to see that part. Is there any meaning behind this?

Is there some extra photos in L cd? I mean booklet or something.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 28th September 2010 02:50 AM

who the **** directed these PVs?
I kinda seriously hate all her PVs this year.

Really? I thought this has been a really high production PV year.

Microphone, Sexy little things, Don't look back, crossroads, Virgin Road, Sweet Season. The only ones I'm not a fan is that gay club one (I honestly can't remember what it's called oooo lady dynamite!) and Sweet Season (although I like the twist).

kumikomishitate 28th September 2010 03:08 AM

I have never seen Ayumi look more beautiful than in the VR PV. WOW; bombshell anybody? I wish she would always have that hair style. VR is my favourite PV just because I loved the theme of it. I wish they made it into a short movie type PV, like glitter/fated. Sweet Season was boring until the end.

Yumsushi 28th September 2010 03:32 AM

I love Sweet season's PV! And unfortunately, to me, Virgin Road's PV is just an editing disaster....actually wait, the whole things' awful compared to the song, though she looks great. Nice legs Ayu~

adantatu2 28th September 2010 03:39 AM

Don't look back, MOON, crossroad, Sweet Season, Lady Dynamite, blossom, Microphone, Sexy little things, Virgin Road

Woww, 9 pvs this year!!!!!

Why do you hate them?

Kingdom 28th September 2010 03:48 AM

The pvs are okay, but Sweet Season's ending was so sad, I think she was crying and boozing herself to sleep like that because she liked her dream better than her reality.

She's also had all good directors minus the one by Shimoko.

Masashi Muto and Hideaki Sunaga mostly! Woo~

freedreamer 28th September 2010 04:07 AM

^LOVE XD
thats the best thing that happened after NEXT LEVEL honestly...im so happy! Honestly, to me, maybe i need to watch it a few more times to notice the editing..though i understand some jumps in the video but its definitely not as Jarring as it was in MW,GREEN..still, its a beautiful PV to me..

love in music 28th September 2010 04:10 AM

i can't see anything bad about the editing of VR at all. what's the issue with it?

I dunno, the PV is definitely better than crossroad ^^ So far blossom and crossroad are the worst out of all the new ones. MOON and Virgin Road are quite good, Sweet Season is currently downloading so I dunno~

The PVs are genious!!!

I loved both very much!!!
