Ayu song that has had the greatest impact on your life?
So, we all became fans of Ayu for a reason, and for some of you, it had to be because of her lyrics, right? So please share the song, and the part of the song that really had the greatest impact on your life! Or, if it's a song without any lyrics, then please tell us why the music itself really impacted you!
For me, the song that really got me was RAINBOW, for the part in the song where she says, "No rain, can't get the rainbow." The whole song was just amazing to me, and the PV was amazing too. From then on, I've been more optimistic, always thinking, "No rain, can't get the rainbow." XD Now it's your turn! :D |
It wasn't my first Ayu song, but MY ALL. It's such a beautiful, positive song and it's really taught me that even if I make mistakes it's okay. :P
|
A Song for XX
...saved me from suicide and made me eternally grateful for ayu. |
Days. that song set my Ayu fandom to full bloom and it's really The Song I can relate to the most... so, thank you Ayu~ ^^
|
CAROLS. Though I don't wish to say anything about why.
|
Memorial address.
|
one I can remember is 'talkin' 2 myself'
"If you have an unsatisfied feeling That's what you made by your hands" somehow I realized that if I was felling down for something that's the felling I created myself and it was up to me to stand up again. |
Secret saved my life
|
Dearest :blove
I know maybe she has better songs but this is very special for me, I met Ayu through this song and still today I get excited when I see Ayu singing it live in concerts ^^ |
A Song for XX
gave me hope in life again Memorial address made the tears stop |
momentum
It didn't save my life (because that didn't need saving), but it saved my love - which was certainly in need of saving. Then again, if I'd lost my love, everything would have lost control from there. momentum got me through the pain, and it made me realise just how much I loved that person, and no matter what, I would not let them go. Never. Actually telling Ayu that, both in my letter for her, and the fanbook, was like the end of that chapter. Especially as I met Ayu with the person who I love so much. |
That'd be forgiveness. And for that reason, I can't listen to it anymore.
|
the first time I ever heard I am.. I was awed so I could say that but
speaking lyrics wise is SURREAL I will always love these lyrics Quote:

thats something i could never determine . . .as its ayu herself who chooses to make such music that has impacted my life. . .i think ayus songs will help me later in life. yes later. im still quite young
i suppose. . .my most precious lyrics come from A Song is Born. . .Free & Easy. . .and SURREAL. . .also evolution. . .A Song for XX is precious too. same for Alterna . . .all for different reasons also. . .RAINBOW is dearest. for reasons as captian kawaii said "no rain, can't get the rainbow" :) |
"walking proud" live at AT 2005 was an impact for how I saw Ayu, but and impact for my life, sure a song for xx and memorial address
a song for xx I was born alone. I'll go on living alone. I thought that surely that kind of life is appropriate. because this is who I am... That song IS me, and the fact that she did a song like this with such a power is like: DAMN, you are telling just in front of my face what I have to change! and knowing it is what made a great impact on me... Ayu, with this and other songs helps me to start changing... I feel so grateful... memorial address I wish I could have heard from you That I had certainly been loved by you Only once, even if it had been a lie not exactly as the lyrics say it... but it's about a part of my past that I don't understand, and a person I never knew... This songs makes me feel a lot of different things... it's powerful... |
Startin', since i have really low self-esteem this song taught me that basically, if i dont like me then who will? and who cares what others think, what do you think? i wrote about it in a journal for an english class in high school (and included the lyrics) and my teacher said it was a great song ^_^ i felt proud
|
RAINBOW...
RAINBOW gives me strength. I ignored it for a very long time and when I finally listened... I cried. It gives me that push inside to be strong and believe in myself. |
Mirrorcle World. It inspires me to stand up from fear and despair, to shut up and fight.
They ask me: "Do you go with the flow or want to stop it?" "Do you turn a blind eye or aren't you even looking?" "Are you fighting or raising the white flag?" It's no time to play a victim and escape. It's so true to my life. |
rainy day
It's such inspiring lyrics, the PV is pretty cute, and not to forget, the music is amazing and her voice so clean and touching. I remember, it was one of the first ayu songs I heard (after Dearest), and well, after some time, I fell more in love with her other songs and kinda forgot it. But I remember how I was so touched, when the music was loud and it suddenly played. So amazing~ |
No song has changed my life or sth like that... But Dearest must be the closest one

I really had a hard time in my life and also had big mental issues, but thanks to this song, I'm still here. |

suicide???? that's a huge deal~ :D anyway, i think M and TO BE is the best~ Who... too... the lyrics really fit with myself, especially TO BE *I'm the garbage* LOL but then, it gave me strength and never thought i'll be a garbage anymore *hopefully* ) |
Who...
And TO BE. These two songs made me feel like I wasn't alone and that I was worth something when I had very low self-esteem. :) Made me pick myself up and change. In addition, RAINBOW and key ~eternal tie ver.~ allows me to keep going. A Song for XX for when I'm frustrated or angry. |
A Song For XX saves my life too, and it's me, looks like the song talks about me. It makes me want to trust myself!
RAINBOW make cry, and makes always, it makes see that happiness only depend me. And now it's Mirrorcle World a song that make me more confident and strenght... Is this! |

I can't say any of her songs has had a huge profound impact on my life. However, when I played varsity tennis at my HS I listened to GAME before every match. Intense.
|
ever free, everything about this song is beautiful and the lyrics connect me to many personal experiences
|
End roll. LOL it's not really epic, but man that song's mad bummy LOL
|
it has to be A Song for XX especially the a-nation 08 version. That entire performance gave me enough strength to pull thru the darkest days in my life.
|
RED LINE ~For TA~
Gives me hope and belief that my life isn't always as bad as it seems... Try to remember, if you slam into a wall "On this day when you seem to be losing somewhere, someone wanted to fight." Try to remember, if you’re in despair "On this day when you have decided to give up somewhere, someone didn’t want to give up." |
For me its the very first song i heard from Ayu.
Which is M. It made me open my eyes more and become confident because it introcuded me to ayu and the rest of her songs and introduced me to a whole other world which was exiting and interesting. |
It's difficult to think of one or a few songs that have had an impact on my life because I find her entire body of work the greatest impact but... "RAINBOW", "Because of you", "fairyland" and "WHATEVER" are some that have made me feel stronger in different ways.
|
Fly high. Absolutely. I'm easily daunted, I procrastinate... but whenever I remember the words to Fly high, I'm more able to swallow my pride and do what needs to be done, knowing that there are people who care about me who will help me if I need it.
|
Ayu's very first song that i have heard is Dearest but her song really made me cried are Who and A Song for XX. In A Song for XX, everytime I listen to it, somehow, I feel her loneliness. In Who, everytime I feel low, just hearing the first note of the song makes me cry. But when my mood wasn't that very low, the line that makes me cry is" Hontou no tsuyosa wa dare ga oshiete kurete" then I will change the line "wasurenai yo zutto" to omoidashite inai yo". Then I'll cry until the end of the song.
|
I would have to say more than one song means a lot to me. "And Then" means a lot to me and I can't explain why, it just does. The others are:
"(miss)understood" "SURREAL" "winding road" "I am..." "End of the World" "TO BE" "appears" "Who..." "monochrome" "a song is born" "Endless Sorrow" "JEWEL" "Curtain Call" "Mirrorcle World" "Sunrise~LOVE is ALL~" |
immature.
From masa's article: Sympathy including sorrow for the boys and girls who are wandering around a city aimlessly and having emptiness in their minds though behaving cheerfully outwardly, as she herself used to be. I feel like my friends and I really fit that description. It's tough not knowing what you want out of life, why you're in a four-year university, what happiness is... We make such poor decisions sometimes, but somehow there's an unexplainable beauty in there. Losing sight of your dreams and goals, being disillusioned... yet still maintaining your charm and optimism. I especially love this line: Even though we come to know All the things reflected in our eyes are not beautiful I think the LOVEppears album in general will be defining of my college years. There's a lot of songs that I can really connect with and the melodies are so memorable. The arrangements convey this certain imagery of urban decay, which reminds me so much of home. |
HANABI that song helps me through a lot even now
|
All of your stories are so touching~ I'm so glad that Ayu has helped you guys~ :D

evolution
The first Ayu song I ever heard. JEWEL I'll be able to do anything for the smile My precious treasure Hanabi ~episode II~ This feeling, this feeling, go up into the sky And be dispersed beautifully like a firework |
HAPPY ENDING. I just relate a lot to that song...and I completely adore the performance from Arena Tour 2005.
|
Dearest. it's still the most beautiful ayu song.
|
alterna, because it's the first Ayu song I was addicted to and really related to. I was going through a time where I was changing rapidly and those around me were reacting to it in adverse ways. I was being disapproved of and disregarded and it kind of gave me power.
There are so many that I relate to and affect me in very personal ways (like End roll, Moments, M...) so it's hard to choose one. But alterna is one of the strongest and least sad, in my eyes. |
No song has ever spoken to me like Decision has. It hasn't changed my life per se, but it speaks volumes of it.
That is my song. |
Memorial address helped me cope with a really traumatic event.
|
Endless sorrow
Because of this song, I started to love Ayu. When I heard it for the first time (almost nine years ago), I was leading a very bad life. I hadn't any friends and felt miserable and lonely. Every day was like a fight against myself to go on living. And then, one day, I listened to this song and though I didn't understand the lyrics, it brought tears to my eyes. I clearly remember, that after looking up the lyrics, I cried for hours, because the first time in my life I had the feeling that somebody understands me and that I'm not the only one, who feels insecure and sad sometimes. ...Come here, take my hand If you've only got one wing... Even if I only have one wing left... ... If you are left with no wings... I still have one wing left, so... Together... together... I knew, that I could never fly with only one wing, but I thought that on the side of this person (=Ayu) I could try to regain both of my lost wings (metaphorically speaking). She helped me to become the person I wanted to be; the person I'm today! I'm not perfect, but Ayu showed me that nobody is and that it's okay to feel tired, sad and hopeless sometimes as long as you never give up!! In the end, "Endless sorrow" and Ayu saved my life (and she is still saving it every new day!). |
I have it quite same.
"Dearest" It was the first song that I ever heard from Ayu and I have it associated with the "Inuyasha" anime too, which I really like. Maybe I like some of her songs more, because they have better melody or the "something" but still it's dearest for me. http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/u...hpromo1mal.png |
a song is born
Hold the flowers to your heart, and pray that they may some day bloom those lyrics hold so much motivation to me |
Sparkle - the ever so true and beautifully poetic lyrics made me realize, yes...I am sexy...and yes...I do love to party.

Um... for me... Walking Proud was the song that connected with me. I had lied to a friend who was always truthful and ind with me out of selfishness, and the song made me want to be like him. the lyrics really echoed in my SOOOOOUUULLL! |
Do you guys remember when ayu cried during walking proud performance on AT05 ? now when i listen to it and sing along, i cry :D
idk why... |
A Song for ××
IT MEANS A LOT to me. That's all. CAROLS This song is connected to somebody very special to me. I cry almost everytime I listen to it but at the same time I feel warm 'cause of all those Beautiful memories... Mirrorcle World Helped me not to give up at certain moment of my life. Thanks to it I was able to keep on going and didn't give up. Still helps me though. |
PSII
The lyrics really helped when I started remembering my childhood sexual abuse. I would lay in bed for days just listening to this song and crying. Catharsis~~~~ I searched for fragments of a time already lost And pieced them together when I found them Cry as much as you want Scream as loud as you want Time has passed... |
Real me
"What I lose? What you lose? Maybe I have heard enough people saying That they knew the value of something Only after losing it" I also love alterna thats my personal favorite song of hers. But I Am... always speaks to me in a way no other song has "I entrust my body to the flow of time. Where will I wash ashore? Despite my faults, will I be forgiven? Please tell me." But Heartplace always makes me cry "When I felt the warmth of someone I passed by Tears welled in my eyes suddenly It might be you, it might be the guy Or the girl" And Daybreak changed my view on myself, thats probably the one that has helped me to live my life the way i wanted to and not the way other people were forcing me to. But i truly love all ayus songs and they all inspire, me to keep trekking and not to give in, |
Gosh there are so many... Her songs often open my eyes to things or help me cope with my feelings. But the one that gets a special mention would probably be INSPIRE. I tend to be pretty down and tired a lot sometimes but this song always lifts my spirit and makes me want to live to the fullest. ^^ identity also works like magic if I'm really pissed off about something. :laugh
|
SURREAL
"If it's something you don't need then compassion is of no use at all. If it's something important then pain will probably accompany it." "No matter what loneliness comes, no matter what pain you feel, you mustn't close your eyes to it." "In a nonexistent place I stand as I am. Please be yourself. That's how I want you to be." Definitely helps someone who was going through an identity crisis xD But even now it still holds true to many aspects of life. |
CAROLS
"The days we couldn't understand each other and parted The days of tears, the days of smiling faces Whatever may happen and whatever mood you may be in I'll always accept you" I became addicted to ayumi hamasaki in 2003, but I had never really listened to her lyrics until that song. It was the first time someone told me they would always accept me. Even though it was in a song, in a way, the song saved me. A Song for XX This song is timeless, and even now, it gives me hope for a better future. |
I've never related to a song more than teddy bear since my dad too left me with a teddy bear before he left forever. It impacted me that I could share a same story with Ayumi.
|
RAINBOW show me how to forgive my mistakes
part of Me is special because there are many similarities between the song and what we've lived my boyfriend and I |
Aw every post is something touching, connecting us all.
THIS is the AHS I love. |
Her lyrics always become a mantra to me that I recite in my head when I need it lol...There are so many that touch different aspects of my life really, but generally speaking...
End of the World "When you see someone worse off than you you feel a little relieved. When you see someone happier than you you quickly become impatient. But sometimes you realize just how pitiful you are and you crash into reality. What should I think? What should I say? You're probably the first person who has tried to understand me." That always made me feel better when I felt hopeless. It was like ayu preaching to me and telling me to 'WAKE UP!', and her vocals in this song are so raw and eerie. Immature is another one...the whole 'it's okay to sometimes think we were born to be happy' always cheers me up when I feel like I put my happiness first in life and whether or not that's the right thing to do. Daybreak is just priceless...talking about the people out there who appreciate you no matter what. Talkin' 2 Myself is spot on. "The reality always makes us run for nothing But look ! Your own answer is hiding in it If you have an unsatisfied feeling That's what you made by your hands" That is probably the song that speaks to me the most. Just because reality can be a bummer doesn't mean I have to let it affect me negatively. Ayu lyrics about finding your own happiness whether or not you are supported, and not giving up each day, and treating life like a 'big map' to chart your path on with the people who matter to you, is something I live by now. Her moody lyrics really helped me out back when I was a struggling teenager though, lemme tell ya lmao. |
