Panasonic FX66/ZX3 CM song "Don't look back"

[freedreamer]

^LOl o yeah Will!! omg. Don't look back really doesn't feel like it'll have a PV but o well, she's even made a PV for NEXT LEVEL..so i guess

[krazeyo]

Mmm I think that Don't look back would be a good name for her next album D: NEXT LEVEL-->Don't look back would be cool.

Don't know about this song getting a music video though. The photo in the her Feb 20th blog post doesn't really mesh well with this song's feeling, but who knows.

[YuriChan]

I'm beginning to think that it's... "MAGIC"! (I don't know if I'm right, though! )

Someone's attempt to transcribe Don't look back.

進みたい 進めない
そうやって迷って
いるって事はもう
迷ってない

そこでとどまるなら
いくらから光るね<--?
だけど胸を焦がす(閉ざす?)
指示(<--?)もなく

戻りたい 戻れない
帰る場所はもうない
(ここで?)振り返っても

susumitai susumenai
souyatte mayotte
irutte koto hamou
mayotte nai

soko de todomaru nara
ikurakara hikaru ne (kigou?)
dakedo mune wo koga su (toza su?)
shiji ((kigou)<-? ) monaku

modoritai modorenai
kaerubasho wa mounai
(kokode?) furikaette mo

Here's another one:

進みたい進めない
そうやって迷って　いるってこともなくせない
ここでとどまるなら　いくら悲しくったって
だけども迷わず　自分の中
戻れない戻れない　帰る場所はもうない
傷ついてても

susumitai susumenai
souyatte mayotte irutte koto mo nakusenai
koko de todomarunara ikura kanashikuttatte
dakedo mo mayowazu jibun no naka
modorenai modorenai kaerubasho wa mounai
kizutsu itetemo

Rough translation from online translators:
Someone wants to proceed
What is not lost without it that way.
No matter how sad it is if you stay here
But even in his hesitation
You can not go back home do not turn back now
Even if it hurts...

Yeah, the translation makes like... no sense, haha.

[zyoeru]

So...it doesn't sound SO depressing...maybe.

[Aderianu]

I like the lyrics more than the song itself

[jimex289]

This song didn't impress me that much...it's not anything great but not anything horrible either. Hopefully the full version will wow.

[nEwly]

I like what I heard
Go Ayu ^.^

[gallowsCalibrator]

I'm okay with the song and the lyrics are nice too! ^_^

[AyUta]

Thanks for the attempt .

she looks gorgeous in the cm the dogs looks adorable however i hate the music in the backgroud it doesnt sounds like jpop or ayumi at all .... what happen to her music ??????!!!! what are they trying to do ??? it doesnt suit her at all ( not to mention what she is wearing that look completly out of style)

i love her new hairstyle though , somebody should do a tutorial on how to make your hair looks like ayu in this cm

It changes and evolves instead of just being stuck in the evolution era?

I think it suits her perfectly ^^ I can't think of a song this sounds like in her discography but it has this ayu feel to it to me, what do you think it sounds like? Western pop? o_o

It's vogue+In The Corner. Listen to it, and you'll get it.

Plus, that's essentially an outfit from CDL

i tried to listen to it i just can't get addicted to it . i really dont like the background sounds .

i like the lyrics though. i just wish she or avex did put those lyrics on a better background music.

yes i also notice it was taking from the cdl .i dont really like that outfit . it just looks to big .ayu have a beautiful body , i prefer her with tight ,womenly ,elegant or cute outfit

jbrat ---->i dont mean ayu should stay stuck in the evolution era ( +my favorit is a song for xx era ) anyway ... all i meant is i know she is evolving discovering new sounds and new style . i just dont like this one .
( look at madonna for exemple she's been singing for A WHILE and i love the way she renew herself everytime .she didnt stay stuck with the 80's and i love it her msuic adapt to our time and i loved and own each single of her album exerpt for the last one hard candy i just couldnt stand her "rap " "hip hop" turn . i love ayu music but i hope she won't take an oriental turn that all and im SO GLAD ayu have not take the rap/hip hop turn , i dont think it would sounds good with ayu voice )

identity --->i never said it sounds like western people . i just said if i close my eyes and remove ayu voice it doesnt sounds like an ayu song .
she usually have somewhat like a signature and you can tell its ayu ( even though her music changed ) this one sounds to me like a weird transition. its more oriental than jpop .
i like her voice in the song and they should have play with it maybe with an electro-techno or something like that in the back instead maybe it would have suit her voice and lyrics better .

like jimex said i m not that impress either ... i just have that weird feeling but thats all .

i know each ayu album have tons of songs with different souns ..so i will wait for the full album to judge maybe they will be more " impressive tracks " in it .

That's cool. You just asked what happened, I stated a reason.

vogue > Don't look back (preview)

[R_Hikki]

The first thing that came to mind when it started playing was "vogue 2.0"

[Ayu_no_tenshi]

i want to go forward　　　i don't go forward
i lose my way like that
being here
i can't hesitate anymore

if i remain there
i will somewhat shine
however, my heart will be scorched (closed)*
i have no directions

i want to return　　　i can't return
even if i look back from here
i no longer have a place to return to


*[胸 = chest (but sometimes interpreted as 'heart') - 焦がす = scorch/burn - 閉ざす = shut/lock/close]
