Ayumi Lyrics Word Clouds

[dartsofpleasure]

So guys, I thought it would be interesting to see which words Ayumi uses most often in each album! I made these on Wordle.

What is Wordle you ask?
(from the website): Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.

Also I used masa's translations... I think it would be really cool (and definitely more accurate) to use the original Japanese for the clouds but unfortunately Wordle doesn't support Japanese characters

[chocopockymaster]

omg I LOVE THIS.

[U-GO-BOY]

wow they look soo cool

[kendelle]

They look pretty impressive! This must have taken a while to do!

TBH I was expecting words like 'forever', 'heart', 'feeling', 'dream' and 'tears' to be HUGE in the last one, since they're themes/feelings she uses a lot but I guess those exact words aren't used directly so often, huh?

I also was expecting 'ya', 'ga', 'da' and 'wo' to be big on the (m)u one but I guess they don't get picked up because they're not really words xD

'want' is often there, isn't it an unusual word to appear so many times?

[rusuke]

Wow!! This is really nice!!! I don't really expect this.

The words of each album are what the album is all about...

[prussian blue]

this is really cool! you can really tell about the words behind the theme in each album! thanks for the thread, this is really interesting

[LydenLeaf]

Really nice find. Interesting indeed.

[AngelSenshi]

That is soooo freakin' cool; I'll look at it in loads more detail later!

Lol I am... had so much Please in it; I suppose a song is born counts for most of that

[keikeiaznqueen]

I love how I am... has the word "born" as common. Must be 'A song is born', but then, I am... is very much an album about rebirth.

[sanzo2011]

THanks a lot ! they look so cool ! i never notice about that thing !

[gallowsCalibrator]

That is so cool!! I was expecting "tender" to be in there a lot, because I noticed that in most of the lyrics I've looked up, she says it a lot

[Misa-chan]

beautiful!!!

I love how dreamin'startin' dominated Secret.

And pretty meaningless words like "yura" "kira" "kura" in m(u)~

[waterballoon]

coolness!

Her dark/personal albums seem to have "please" alot... take a look at I am..., MY STORY and GUILTY

[y_nathz]

Big thanks for you
That was so amazing

[Mintkisses]

The RAINBOW album is very accurate! I expected to see "surely" in the last one with all of Ayu songs. I see that a lot. I also see profile commonly in her songs.
The Secret one made me laugh~ "dreamin' starin" in big letters :

[mobius]

Pretty neat!

[kiseki]

This is a very interesting topic. Though I didn't read all the words but between me and myself I always think of the common phrases that Ayu uses in her lyrics. I do the same with other artists too

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Veri nice!!!!
Love is very used000000000000

[dartsofpleasure]

@kendelle Haha I tried to filter out the nonsense words like "lala" and "wow yeah" because there are a LOT of those! I kept in things like "kira" and "dreamin'startin" because they do carry some meaning.

I like being able to see the overall mood of the albums. More positive words like "beautiful" and "wish" and "strong" don't show up until later. ASFXX is so sad!

And I'm glad "surely" showed up on the final one. Even before I knew Japanese, I knew "kitto" because she sings it so much!

[AyUta]

Wow, this is really cool *.*
