Like I did last year I listened to the voice right before her countdown (in her CDLive) and this time it's Ayu's voice! And it's in English! She did a good job... there was only a few parts I couldn't truly understand but I got the gist of it
I can post screen cap of the characters and perhaps masa or someone else could losely translate... I hope when she's saying this she doesn't mean this upcoming year is her last... surely not be her 10th anniversary! Something just struck a cord when she said "I'm always here... yada yada" It's a sweet note and I will try and post screen caps of the message in Japanese and also an audio rip so you guys can hear Ayu's cute Engrish XD... without further ado, here's her note! (I italicized the words I was unsure of)
2006, Our story is about to close
All the pages have been filled.
2007, a new story is about to begin
the pages are white, anything can be written
it’s yours… joys and sorrows
please don’t be afraid of the future.
I’m always here… and I’m always with you
Even alone ((I think she says even alone…, like will be with you even when you are alone??))
In sorrow, remember my songs
They will embrace you
In happiness, sing my songs
Your joys will overflow
In 2007
when there is trouble
The world could be changed
But nobody could take our dreams away
And together,
we're gonna all be okay
Right here. Right now.
With Love,
Ayu
