Writing lyrics is Ayu's way to talk and to share her feelings since the start of her career. It’s deeply linked to her life. Knowing that I doubt she starts everything only after the “we’ll make a new album” meeting. She writes when inspiration catches her. With her experience she surely know the kind of sound and music style that will match her lyrics. Then she adapts slightly the lyrics with the demos she selected. During the process, she might add some songs and writes new lyrics just as a novelist adds new ideas and chapters when he/she is working because life doesn’t stop when you’re working and what you see can inspire you. Just as the jazzy/Broadway songs Ayu asked Timmy to compose after attending a musical in London.
In Ayu’s case, the music assists her lyrics. It helps to share her emotions. The main act is the lyrics. It’s why she can use very different music styles but there is the little thing who make you think it’s an Ayu’s song. Because her writing style doesn’t change a lot. It shapes her songs.
Nowadays, as she stopped to release singles she certainly request to create an album when she already know the concept and have already selected the main lyrics she already wrote and that fit the concept.
There isn’t only a path to create song. Music doesn’t always arrive before lyrics.
