how beautiful you are was filmed a little less than a month ago in Japan.

There MIGHT be a way to remove the chanting using Audacity and inverting the waveform of the song in that section. It's a method usually used to make quick karaoke tracks out of normal song mixes.

You can try it and see if it works?

Someone please tell me where Ayu said that these tracks/PVs/whatever were not related to her marriage. I am fairly certain she NEVER SAID THAT. In fact, she was very honest about some of the songs being related to her divorce and what she felt because of it.

I don't think she's ever said that. She only said that people are free to feel whatever they want from her songs, if I remember?

Yeah, that's exactly what she said.

However, it seems that before we got that interview, we just knew that "Return Road and Virgin Road are not related to each other." Virgin Road was not about her marriage to Mannie. Or if it was, she must have foreseen it because she hadn't met him until after she wrote the song and was filming the PV.

Return Road is heavily hinted to be about her divorce/marriage but that's obvious to anyone who knows she recently went through a divorce. (The same goes for call and Letter and reminds me and Tell me why)

You know, since she recorded all of these tracks in November/December... she must have been already thinking about splitting up with him for months before it actually happened. (Even during FIVE, I imagine.)

I actually really liked RR PV. It breathed the old Ayu for me. Alot of with symbolism and nice scenes. Also I have always been a fan of Masashi Muto's work. I loved loved loved what he did for Microphone, SLT and my fav You were... He have a very nice understanding on how to convey a special feeling to his work.

Haha yeah... I kind of want to keep the smashing piano part though. I want the song exactly as it just just without that darn chanting. Both in the middle eight and in the last chours.

Thx! I'll try that one and see how it turns out!

I think that people started these speculations about Ayu denying is when we got some key words from tokyoxjapanxfan when he translated the SCawaii interview and wrote "Return Road and Virgin Road have no relation, even though many people have asked her.". I think it was after that people started saying that she denied the relation with the divorce.

just my speculation.

Yeah this is what I'm thinking too. Also the whole thing "only the two of us will know what really happend" kind of thing gets quite clear imo.

I'll buy regular version when I come to Japan.

Haha ikr. xD Lucky for me I didn't have to choose since I went to the dentist this month and it was waaaay expensive so I had to cancel my box order. I'm actually more and more happy that I did though. The covers/size of the box/overprized goods would have made me cancel the order either way so. I'm gonna do just like you. Buy the regular edition of the album when I move back to Tokyo this summer instead.
