Lyrics
Spoiler:
Translated by maikaru @ http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...postcount=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 from http://ameblo.jp/sweeetdevil/entry-10636291380.html:
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？


PV information / Composers & arrangers
Spoiler:
Masashi Muto (Sexy little things, Microphone, You were... etc) is directing crossroad(?) it seems.

Takahide Ishii is directing an unnamed PV.

Ayu is in Los Angeles currently (September 1st) to shoot a PV. Luis Hernandez helped with location scouting it seems, and Masashi Muto seems like he is the director? Filming locations include a missile site in Santa Clarita and what seems to be the 4 Aces motel/diner film set that Lady GaGa's Telephone was filmed at.

Tetsuya Komuro worked on the compositions for both of the songs on crossroad. According to articles, Komuro arranged crossroad as well.

primavera♥ 2nd September 2010 03:50 AM

So I don't mind whatever time. Ill just keep up this excitement :D

^____^

duque 2nd September 2010 05:43 AM

C+R+E+AYUMI 2nd September 2010 07:24 AM
crossroad: this are teh lyrics of my life...thanks ayu!

Tasked 2nd September 2010 07:54 AM
I wonder if there'll be a rocksong somewhere, somehow .... :/

Ranma Matsuri 2nd September 2010 08:24 AM
*waits for L*

AyUmIXx 2nd September 2010 08:29 AM
i hope to hear a song like count down a pop rock ballad is AWESOME :)

Tasked 2nd September 2010 08:43 AM
yes, indeed... but somehow I have a feeling these singles will all be pop and regular ballads; cause those are easy hits :) She doesn't seem to be in a rock-chick mood right now.. but u never know :)

yuki_unmei 2nd September 2010 08:48 AM
i hope we'll get L's covers and tracklist at the same time :/
it's alot more exciting that way.

waterballoon 2nd September 2010 08:57 AM
well I hope since L is a 3A side single, we get one pop, one ballad & one rock... I'm wishing so hard for that

love in music 2nd September 2010 08:59 AM
No crappy mic recording of crossroad yet? Darn.

yuki_unmei 2nd September 2010 09:00 AM
i wish for at least 1 CREA-composed song~
1 full-English song *dreaming*
and i don't really care whatever the 3rd one is xD a pop song would be nice though.

It looks like they really did do some high up helicopter shots for this PV~

Mirrorcle Monster 2nd September 2010 10:11 AM
Hope they use the helicopter just as a transport, i donīt want them to appear in the PV. About L, i think it will be: pop, ballad and happy thankful song like RED LINE.

OyTony 2nd September 2010 10:23 AM
^ I think they use the helicopter as a camera.
The helicopter has a camera on his nose. : D
