yeah the whole interview is really actually interesting to watch. so you might want to consider downloading it and watching all of it.
okay i found the part in my video and im just typing the subs from the screen as she talks. credit for subs: Delirium-Zero
Ayu: At the time, you know...
I was...
I was called "Hamasaki Ayumi" but...
I considered myself just a human being.
-Interviewer: Thought of yourself as a human?
I am myself, I'm called "Ayumi Hamasaki," but i'm just a person, a human, a girl first, as far as i'm concerned.
But still, that's not quite right, because i'm part of the company, too. i'm part of a larger organization called "avex," and...
In avex, i'm considered an "important product" and i knew that.
For me to deny that, that wouldn't work.
-Interviewer: Still, you have an influence. You're significant.
And i thought afterwards that i'd just stop.
Then it jumps to another clip of the interview later in the video.
Ayu: I knew that if i didn't stay with the company i'd never be able to come back to it.
I lived very thoroughly here, but thought, "I just want to live like a human."
I was significant to them, so i felt like "let's fight the man" i guess.
I wanted to resist the company even though i felt like i was part of it.
Thats all the subs from the youtube clip
