10th anniversary for affection? Omg~ I love that album though I didn't really care about it when I first heard it but these days I think it's one of the best lyrical work of Kuu's ever done.

She also said once that looking at herself, through her albums and looking at her album covers at that time, (through 2008 and 2009) she noticed that most of her work was very dark and grey, and didn't have any colour like her older works. I think she said her sadness at that time (because of the scandal) that's how it come out in her work. And she said she had lost the confidence to really 'try' after it, and it took her a long time, til 2010 (where her work got more colourful again) until she was ready to start 'running forward' again, as she put it. She also said that's why she dyed her hair from blonde to black at that time, cause of the sadness she was feeling. |
I think she said these things in Koda Reki. I remember reading something like this from it because it made me cry. After that I've always thought that this is the main reason why I couldn't really feel TRICK when I listened to it. I also remember getting pretty bored with her music in 2009 and I was a bit worried of the direction of my fandom those days. Those days I didn't really understand it but now I do. It was because she didn't feel her own music that much.
And when she felt so sad and lost motivation, I think it really shows. Her music in 2009 isn't that good tbh. I do love her releases back then but I know that I never listened to those as much as I did listen to TABOO alone for example. Or every 2010 and 2011 single release. Poor Kuu. I'm happy she made a fierce comeback with Can We Go Back in 2010, which is the song she decided she can't stay in the state she was after the scandal (she said this in Koda Reki).

I think 'Moon Crying''s lyrics are about the scandal too. Or at least how it made her feel at that time. Whenever I read the lyrics, I always feel like she is talking to her fans, and how she realized (or thought) she had upset them and the people she loved from what she had said. I remember her also saying something like she felt incredibly guilty that she had upset all of her fans who loved her, and she wanted to make it upto them. Such as:
I didn’t mean to put that expression on your face
Even though I loved you
I made you feel sad
And there were tears that day
She keeps referring to 'that day', which I believe is about the scandal. That's how I always feel when I listen to Moon Crying. Koda always says about walking down the road together to her fans, like her walking down the road with the people she loves and her fans, an in MC she says:
I am on the road
I used to walk with you
Walking beneath the moon
While singing a sad melody
I think that during that time, where she was alone after she had put herself into solitude, and virtually she had almost lost her career due to that day, She almost lost everything, and I honestly think that is what Moon Crying is about, whenever I listen to it that's how I feel. But that could just be my interpretation of it.

Nice to know that I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
I was worried that I was but it's better this way haha. XD I think that whenever she sings this song on live her sadness is really overflowing because it really makes me cry every time I see her perform. It must be the reason why she cries too. She must have many painful memories of this song. I'm happy that she keeps singing it at times because I'm a huge fan of Moon Crying. ^_^
