[truehappiness]

Screencap giving is NOT SPAMMING :>

[HELVENEUE]

I feel like i've heard it before...


It sounds pretty nice, her vocals are kinda...weird...but I'll grow on me...

[extepan]

oh the cm is beautiful! her eyes look so big and lovely!!!!
the song is nice as well!

[LacusClyne]

YES! i just decide that i WILL buy this single!!!!

BALLAD! BALLAD! BALLAD!!!!

[truehappiness]

I wonder if the verses are going to have a fuller arrangement..

Perhaps this song'll be a bit like HEAVEN?

[Axel_Grease]

I'm beginning to think those other Ayus' are gonna be part of the Lumix CMs too, just like the shakey thing.

Hmm...and Ayu's hat only looks weird because it's actually a rare breed of albino Pacman that only comes out once every 1000 years. xD

[mishidabo]

hmm come to think of it.. it sound like a song from kingdom hearts.... like dearly beloved.. kinda...

Well, they're a part of it because more Ayus would portray the amount of space you can capture with the 28mm rather than the 35mm. XD

I mean, one Ayu's fine for 28mm, but if you show that a regular 35mm can't fit 4-5 people in it, but a 28mm can, it's a really nice way of publicity XD~~

Especially with all the Ayus~ I wonder what the next LUMIX-feature will be..

[Norrel]

Was bored.

[truehappiness]

Why is one of them radiating a red light of death?

[Norrel]

Because I'm not creative enough to do anything else! XD

I wanted to make an actual icon, and not re-colors actually.

<3<3

And no. I am not implying dirty things. They're just cousins! COUSINS!

[Norrel]

The text is hard to read D=

It says "Happy Family", right?

What is to imply that is dirty?

" Gay Family "?

[truehappiness]

NO. XD Well, family of 3 ayus = ayu getting married to two ayus = ? O_O

Never mind. :p I don't even know what I'm going on about.. o_o

Hardtoread text is so trendy. Because it gives a mystery to your graphics. XD

[Norrel]

Hmm, just noticed those other girls are Ayu >_>

Err... a sentence is the same in pretty much every language, though. It is a complete thought with a start and a finish. Japanese sentences tend to be either much shorter than in English (because of no need for a subject), or much longer (because of the ease of which a person can add extra information and implications to a sentence without breaking grammatical law). In Japanese music, this means we tend to see a lot more of the longer type sentences (i.e. while a 4-line verse in an English song is popularly 4 separate sentences, it might be only 2 or 1 in a Japanese song), because it has a nicer flow. Most words in Japanese are 2, 3, or 4 syllables, whereas most words in English are 1 syllable, so instead of having 4 2-word sentences making up 4 lines, they more often create fuller, more poetic lines than we tend to in English, by making 1 big long sentence.

Does that make any sense?

Basically, in the case of JEWEL, Ayu sets up the first half of the sentence by saying "The fact that I welled up with tears...", and she finishes up the sentence in the last line by saying "...was because you were nice". The rest is all embellishments, extra information, and emotional filler, to make that sentence sound more beautiful and poetic.

I was wondering the same thing, actually! I hope it has different levels, Ayu's best songs, IMO, have several levels like that. Dearest, ever free, M, HEAVEN, CAROLS. <-- all good use of different levels of orchestration.

I'm loving this song and Ayu! The Rainbow Ayu squad is awesome!
