Think of you?
Close enough
I thought her English was better though lol

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Think of... Mannie?

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

^ No, its "Think of you... my dearest Peco".

[Delicious n Bold]

^That's still funky Engrish XD

[Ayu-me]

"Think of you..." sounds like an imperative (encouraging/forcing an action), she should have used "Thinking of you...". *grammar nazi*
Lovely pictures, though. The food one looks delicious, chow mein noodles and grilled meat my translators tell me.

i'm not, but "walking proud" irks me SO much xD

[TeamAyu2004]

well, english isn't her first language...
if you dont use it everyday (and she has no reason) i'm sure she has forgotten some things since 2010/11

[Delicious n Bold]

^ I am walking proud
Seems fine to me tbh

[TeamAyu2004]

whats wrong with walking proud?
are you talking about lyrics in the song or just the title?

lyrics are beautiful, but it should be walking proudly.

I don't think "walking proud" is actually that uncommon a phrase. There's a movie called "Walk Proud" and other songs named "Walking Proud" as well.

Do you mean my names WOMEN?

I think by using "WOMEN" she just wanted to make clear that she's speaking for women in general in this song and not just specifically for herself as a woman.

Never got why some people find this one hard to understand... It always make perfect sense to me

Oh seems Timmy is in London, I hope Ayu follows him but she probably won't. O/T but I noticed he tweets a lot of nice things to AHSers that met him when Ayu was here, that's really sweet of him.

[TeamAyu2004]

really?
I took it more as I am walking proud...
you cut out the I am part and its something like a direct translation. you know its her doing it so the I am part is not needed.

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

^ really? it just sounds so off to me because it implies an action...
its so weird because i love that song to bits xD

[ExodusUK]

I think both are grammatically acceptable.

Like for example "He stood proud over the corpse of his enemy" < - the guy is feeling proud
Or "He stood proudly over the corpse of his enemy" < - the guy is standing in a proud manner..maybe with his hands on his waist and his head high~

[TeamAyu2004]

I think if its in a sentence it sounds better as proudly, but just saying walking proud is just as good.
