now when Ayu confirmed it I love it :) Its a gorgeous song

so...may i assume this song id addresses to her mom Mariko...when she says:

<<I feel that person you once met and loved
Is somehow like the person I love
For example, his casual gestures somehow remind me of the image of that person
When I noticed that
A very warm single tear slid down my cheek>>

is she referring to her father? So the man she's in love with (!!!!) seems like her father??

OMG

^ Not necessarily, her parents been divorced for a long time now, so her mother has probably had new, other loves in her life (and Ayu could be referring to one of those)

I wait with very expected XD.
Thanks!!!

so silly me, you're right

It also all could just be hypothetical...or maybe she's getting married...who knows besides her, haha.

Japanese tabloids in a few months:

"Ayu's secret honeymoon: The Bahamas getaway"

I bet she and Minazou are together :D

This is absolutely a song for her mother. so touchful

This is such a beautiful song.
I really like the singing to her mother, that's so lovely :)

Thank you for the translations and romaji!

I think this song has the best lyrics of all the ones on L.

I'm not usually impressed by her recent lyrics, but Virgin Road's are truly beautiful!
Thank you very much masa!

Ah, so I was semi-correct that since this song is about her mother, she's telling her mom, "Thank you! I've grown up into a good...ish... adult! :)" since A Song for xx was mostly about Ayu baaaaawing about having to grow up (that's my interpretation, anyway).

The references to marriage are a bit perplexing, though. Hmm... That's Ayu for ya.

It looks like growing up song.. If you get me lol When Ayu was growing up, her mom supported and protected her :)
Thank you masa again!!

Thank you masa!

This is really so beautiful. Way to go, Ayu.

It's definitely a powerful song lyrically, emotionally, and musically!

Thanks for the translation. Isn't it weird that she uses Ne? in the beginning of each of those statements? I never heard anyone says it in the beginning before. xD I need more practice I guess.

thanks

There's a mistake in the romaji ^^;

Should be:
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
Anata ga itsuka no sono mukashi deai aishita ano hito to
Watashi ga aishite iru hito wa dokoka nite ru you na ki ga shi masu
