Lyrics

Spoiler:

Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
Quick translation from hanabiwings:
Come a little closer... Try believing a little more...

I know there were tears glistening on your cheeks
Until just a moment ago, on that smiling face
That I love best when you're smiling innocently
I won't say it's easy to show me the real you
But I have confidence I can accept this side of you, too

Hey now, in a louder voice
I wanna present you with a bigger love
I wanna make it resound in your heart
Hey now, in a louder voice
If I shout for a bigger love
I wonder if it'll reach you just a little
The long way around is just right
Cause I know we can understand one another

I get the feeling I can more or less imagine what you wanna say
Just when I think I'm facing things, I'm running away
If I say I'm not afraid, honestly it's a lie, you see
<Next line is incomprehensible to me; can't make out what she's saying>
[I've prepared for whatever may come]

Come a little closer... Try believing a little more...

You can hear this shaky, wavering pulse of mine so
I want you to come a little closer, to try believing a little more
Listen carefully to your heart
Reassuring one another has come to an end
Because we know we feel the same way about each other

We're not perfect or anything
Because we're human, my dear
But that's just fine--I really think so
Those are the parts of us that make us lovable

Hey now, in a louder voice
I wanna present you with a bigger love
I wanna make it resound in your heart
Hey now, in a louder voice
I wanna shout for a bigger love
I wonder if you felt it just a little
It's just right if we take the long way around
I'm certain we can understand one another

Kana:
もっとそばに来て　もっと信じてみて

無邪気に笑う僕の大好きなその笑顔についさっきまで　涙が君の頬で光っていた事を知っているよ
ありのままを見せてとかなんて簡単に言わないけど　こんな君を見ちゃっても受け止めて行ける自 信があるし

ねぇもっと大きな声で　もっと大きな愛を
君に届けたい　その胸に響かせたい
もっと大きな声で　もっと大きな愛を叫んだら
ちょっとは伝わるかな　遠回りする位がいい　解り合える事解ってるから

君の言いたい事は何となく大体ね想像つく
僕は向き合うつもりになっているだけで逃げてるよね
怖くないとかいったら正直嘘になるけれどね

ねぇもっとそばに来て　もっと信じてみて
僕のこの震える 揺れる鼓動聞こえてるから
もっとそばにいて　もっと信じてみてほしい
心に耳澄ませて　確かめ合うのはもう終わり　想い合っているって知ってるから

僕らは完璧なんかじゃないよ　だって人間なんだもの
だけどそれでいいそう思うんだよね　そんなとこが愛しいんだから

ねぇもっと大きな声で　もっと大きな愛を
君に届けたい　その胸に響かせたい
もっと大きな声で　もっと大きな愛を叫んだら
ちょっとは伝わるかな　遠回りする位がいい　解り合える事を解ってるから

Nice translation of the article from ViVi by tenshi no hane@AHS:

ViVi, September 2009.


“Because we’re in this kind of era, I want to send out sparkling, cheerful and powerful things. I believe that’s my duty.”

Dressed in an flashy eighties dress, Ayu smiles, “I feel happy when I’m dressed like this”. She confidently says that her music, fashion etc. express her real essence. “If I wear basic clothes, it’ll certainly calm my mood, but if I’m not allowed to do different things, it’s just uninteresting, right? If you’re only defensive, you won’t be able to create new things.”

From the 20th century to the 21st century, in those ten years, Ayu has been leading the girls of those centuries. Whilst always showing precise answers to the doubts and problems of girls from this era, now, in her 11th year, Ayu is focusing on the tastes of certain people.

“I love the fashion of the eighties. Back then, that kind of strongly and boldly coloured patterns were widespread. Because there were no personal computers in that age, it took much time and trouble for people to make things. Now, you can easily make anything, right? For example, if it’s difficult to express one emotion with words, we convey it using pictographs, just like that right?--- But with things created in the eighties, you can feel the energy and enthusiasm of the people who made them. I think that’s a great thing.”

“When I first thought about the concept for this year’s NEXT LEVEL tour, I wanted to convey the power which people hold. That idea suddenly popped into my head.”

“When I think about organisation, up 'till now, rather than a live performance, I wanted to create an entertaining stage. But, this year, while leaving the show-like part behind, the power of the band’s performance, the liveliness of the dancers, the team, my lyrics; all those things---, I wanted to let hear and show the things which can’t be turned into machines, things which only humans can do. That feeling was very strong.”

As for this year’s 10th anniversary tour, concerning both Ayu and fans; a “thank you for these ten years” feeling of gratitude was exchanged. A feeling like some kind of ceremony beyond time. That was this year’s tour. “The people who came, laughing and crying, made me very happy; it’s a very strong feeling,” Ayu said.

A live performance with nothing but fun, happens often, but a live performance that shakes the heart, happens rarely. During the NEXT LEVEL tour, the words which Ayu created one by one, putting her entire heart into them, carried the rhythms and melodies. Especially ballads like Days became songs from the soul, as if penetrating the cells of the audience one by one. A very pure feeling.

“Lately, things like lyrics make me happy. I’m often told that it looks as if I’m pursuing a goal. I’m not conscious of it to that extent, but I can recall one thing: when I sang my lyrics in January this year, ----how should I say..?---- I can’t find a proper way to say this, but there’s a “I can do this” kind of feeling. Until now, since I’m weak in vocal range and chords, everything would disappear unnoticed----. Somehow, I feel it turned into ???. So, if it’s like that, desires will also steadily come out.”

On the 12th of August, the double A single [Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~] will be released. It’s Ayu’s new experiment, consisting of one melody but two different lyrics and arrangements.

“Sunrise is a summery, happy pop-tune, but whilst writing the lyrics I thought, “it would be nice if I turned it into a ballad, right?”. In that way, the ballad Sunset, glowing with the melancholy of the end of summer, was born.”

The subject of Sunrise is “you”, and that of Sunset is “me”. As for Sunset; I wondered if girls can sympathize with it more easily. But because I feel both songs have become each other’s ‘answer song’, I feel people can sympathize with both songs.

“Because I also wrote the songs with the theme ‘father & daughter love’ in my mind, it’s not only about romantic love, but about family love and friendship as well. I wrote the songs to fit different kinds of love.
Though I didn’t create them this way from the start, I can’t imagine them as separate anymore; both songs respond to each other.”

Ayu said, “I want to take good care of my present self”. Music, fashion, love; everything concerning Ayu is the present.
Everything continues to move forward and continues to change ---.

Information about choreography and TA Members in the PVs:

Ayu said in one message that almost 1000 people applied for participate in the PV's, but only 300 can be selected.

Also said that she has been doing a lot of dance rehearsals. The coreography of Sunrise PV is created by Zin, and the one for Sunset is created by Maro.

Ayu's comment regarding the creation of the song from Dandy Daddy's site:

It's been a long since I've written a theme song for a TV drama, this time, to be able to receive this invitation (to write Sunrise), I feel really honored.

After reading the script and carefully understanding the feelings of the role played by -the male lead's name-, and through my own understanding, I have written these lyrics.

It's a song that gets everyone to be energized and happy, I hope everyone embraces this summer's memory, and look forward to this song.

- translated from Chinese by waterballoon

Snippet of the lyrics by ear:

もっと大きな声で もっと大きな愛を
君に届くよにいつも胸に響かせたい
もっと大きな声で もっと大きな愛を叫ぶから

Rough general translation/romaji of the lyrics from an amazing friend:
The love is being carried to the other person through their voice.
And it resounds in their heart.
And that growing love will call out through that voice.

motto ooki na koe de motto ooki na ai wo
kimi ni todoku yo ni itsumo mune ni hibikasetai
motto ooki na koe de motto ooki na ai wo yobu kara

-lyricized translation-
Through this growing voice, this growing love
Will reach you and always resound in your heart
I'll call out this growing love through my growing voice

Translation from TakaSama:
"With a louder voice, a greater love
Will reach you
I always want it to ring in my heart
because a louder voice will bring forth greater love"

LOL!
Those are epic

[Ayumiko]

I'm surprised they haven't added the covers on the official website...but instead just updated the magazines. I'm still hoping they'll change the covers...but is there still time for that? there's not much time left.

[Naomi_Mikazuki]

real fans have an opinion. not stans. I don't like these covers. and no I am a fan just because I don't like some of her songs, and I don't like some over her single/album covers. if anything you're the one who believes we must like these covers. none of us have to like anything she does if we don't want to. She's done much much better single covers. and excuse us if we don't happen to like something she does. so what if a couple of us blow it out of proportion a little? so what if some of us hate the covers?

We either have an opinion about something as indifferent or extreme as it may be. or we go like the story of michael jackson and become such die hard fans that support absolutely everything she does that we commit suicide when she dies.

Re-read my post.~ I said it was fine if you didn't like the covers. But I find it absolutely ridiculous to think that these are by far the worst of her career. Isn't that exaggerating a bit..? (Seriously, STEP you...? Yeah...) Of course she's done far better covers countless times before, but these aren't her worst by any means.
I'm not saying you have to like every single thing she does in order to be a fan. That would be silly. But to start not only bashing the covers, and then not just the fans who like the covers, but then Ayu herself..? Calling her senseless? That she's ridiculous and practically moronic for letting these covers go through? These are HER covers. For whatever reasons, she liked them enough to share them with her fans. And obviously not every fan hates them. So she couldn't have made a completely wrong choice.

Holy crap I just saw the 'you are just an embarrassment to the true fans' line. What a complete biased moron.

Excuse me, but I think you need to go look up "biased" in the dictionary, because there isn't a single statement in my post that makes me biased... But aside from that nonsense...
I was speaking to the people who like the song(s) on the single, who wanted to support Ayu and were determined to buy the single, but then decided completely against ever buying it, simply because of the covers. Yes. That it flat out stupid. Sure, a big part of the singles is the covers, but it's certainly not all. The main part is, obviously, the songs, right? And I don't know about you, but the main reason I buy anything from an artist, album or single or whatever, is to support them. Because that's what a fan is, duh. So if you like the artist and the song on the single/album, yet you refuse to buy it and support them merely because you don't like the freakin' cover, then no, you aren't a true fan. I know if I were an artist and found out that my "fans" refused to buy any of my work simply because I didn't make perfect covers, I would be extremely irritated.
