Thanks so much for this!!! It's an interesting read :)

Thank you, Misa-chan. I really appreciate your work :)

Thanks Misa-chan!! I love MY STORY so it's great to see this!

Thanks so much! I didn't even know this existed!

Awesome, thank you! This confirms my name's WOMEN is not engrish, but intentionally done by ayu.

interesting *.*

Liar is kinda accident lol :D

thanks for translating~ MY STORY is one of my favorite albums

HAHAHAHA AT LIAR'S CREATION. AMAZING.

And I could tell winding road was supposed to be the end of the album and Humming was like the hidden tracks before it.

-nodnod-

I wanted to read something from MY STORY era and my dream became true, because of you! Big thanks! :shughug
I love how she described HONEY and Replace :)

I'm thankful for being able to read about Liar and My name's Women. I used to live thinking "how could Ayu not check the right spelling" but now this one sentence makes such a difference, I pity people who didn't read it will still think Ayu just made a spelling mistake.

A for Liar, we are wondering over & over again why it is not being sung during concerts, maybe Max, or some other people made Ayu believe the song is not good enough and so she decided to leave it behind and not perform it. That's strange, she liked the melody so much and was so positive about it, but totally ignores the song now.

I also love the Winding Road description, it's a song I love most as concert ending song, because of the lyrics, and also melody, I never made the effort to check who is the composer (bad me .___.), but now that I know Ayu was writing and composing at the same time somehow gives more specialness to this song. And I really cannot bear people saying it's dull or boring, the lyrics just own me every single time I listen to this song.

It really kind of makes me sick when people talk about winding road or Replace like they are trash, but... -hides-

sankyuuu misaa-channnn

So GAME has a male protagonist?! That's fascinating :O Misa-chan, does Ayu specify it as a male in the text? I'm really curious :D

Thank you sosososo much for this! MY STORY is such an amazing album, and I'm really grateful to see Ayu talk about each song in her own words.

LOL @ the Liar incident.

rofl at

Thanks Misa-chan.

This is so awesome :D

thanks for these ^^
I was pretty interesting in fact~ :3

Thank you!!!

Liar is a great accident! Lol
i like her description of what WONDERLAND is like! omg i hope she uses it in the RnRC tour!! it would make an AMAZING opening!!! :D
and finally an explanation of what "Humming 7/4" means! XDD

Ew not me. Lol. Check out the Morinaga CM it was featured in. It sounded terrible. Same thing with my name's WOMEN in the CM. I think one of the reasons I loved MY STORY so much was because with the exception of walking proud (which actually sounded just a tiny bit better in the CM to me), all album-only songs that were featured in CMs totally sucked for me. So when I heard them on the CD it was like "WOW!"

Thanks for this! Such an interesting read~ I love MY STORY so much! :heart

Nope, she didn't really specify the gender of the protagonist, I just used "him" because I didn't want to keep typing "him/her". :D

Exactly!! When I was translating this the only thing running through my mind was RnRC!!

Thanks for providing us Scanlation!!

Thank you! I wanted to request for this too actually ahaha

Wooow thanks for sharing!

THANKS!!! LOl @ Liar..acctually makes me appreciate the song more now. And yea, About you..MELLOW?! omg..The idea she had for WONDERLAND is amazing..full of imagery.
And so, I guess Ayu didnt name Kaleidoscope...and probably even LABYRINTH hahah. i'm glad INSPIRE didnt turn out as B&G...it's her edgiest summer song yet.

LOL i cant believe people filmed in HUMMING7/4 with not much idea of the song that was playing haha

this was my first Ayu album..and definitely FULL of Ayu classics

Thanks for the scan. I love the description of WONDERLAND into Liar, it makes so much sense. :)

Thanks for this. I love to read all this.

Thank you, Misa-chan! MY STORY was the first album I bought and my favorite one :heart

Thanks for that translation!
It's always interesting to know the stories behind the songs.

Does that kind of "track interview" exist for GUILTY & NEXT LEVEL as well? It would be great!

Oh I like this thanks Misa :D

I like these track-by-track comments, they're really interesting!

I really want her to use WONDERLAND on the new tour; it would fit perfectly! A slowed down version of About You would be really interesting; I even wondered why it wasn't done as a Classical.

Liar is the mother of all great accidents lol How do you mess up enough to have that happen? Well it worked out excellent in the end!

And I love to see that my name's WOMEN was no accident.

Thanks a lot for your work ! i'm going to buy a limited vers of this album just to try to finish my collection .

I see! And yes, I can see why you wouldn't want to keep typing that out XD Thank you very much for explaining it, and for doing this. Your translations are so smooth and easy to read. Are you thinking of doing this for a living? :)

Thank you so much, Misa-chan! <3

I can't believe Liar's birth XD I loled so much! Though I'm glad Ayu's so absent-minded sometimes, cause Liar is a great song.

Quite interesting^^

Yeah, that absent-mindedness created a great song =P

Lol I'm currently far from good enough to do it for a living, but maybe sometime in the future. ^^ Haha to be hired as ayu's translator/interpreter will be a dream come true! :D

This makes me love MY STORY even more!

I've read few lines and it looks interesting :yes
thanks a lot Misa-chan :heart

thanks^^

interesting, Misa-chan

Thanks for the translation, very interesting :). Will you translate the other album's entries too?

thank you!

I think MY STORY is the only album with this sort of thing in the TeamAyu magazines.

Other magazines from ASFXX to Memorial address had been in beatfreak and were done by Delirium-Zer0. They are in this forum.

Thanks alot for the translations :)

There are many facts I didn't before about MY STORY album.

thx ^^

Wow, I learned so much through this one! Thanks! :D

Liar wasn't supposed to be a song at all?! That's one of my favorites from MS. I feel like my favorite love song was written about a sandwich...

^I think you got it wrong. She thought the song was supposed to be for her and probably really wrote the lyrics from her heart. After she had already written the lyrics she found out the song was not supposed to be for her album, but managed to get it after all. So don't worry, I believe Liar is not about a sandwich but is as deep and real as her other songs. :)

^^ Where did the sandwich come from???

I guess because the song is a "mistake" it seems like it was written for no reason at all for rakeru...?

-shrug-

THANKS Misa as usual.

Now I finally know the mystery under My Name's WOMEN title. yay

wow this is a lovely read!! thanks so much.
it's good to know how Liar comes about! LOL. ^_^
