Sunrise / Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～ information and covers [V]

[SunshineSlayer]

@truehappiness lol. Yeah, thats exactly what I was thinking. haha, such a weird thing to discuss in detail anyways.

[polka-dot-jewel]

I think if Sunset were for Daddy Dandy?, we would have known about it. It would probably be an insert song if it were part of the dorama.

lol I love how we're now talking about Ayu's boobs... I, personally, think they've always been a bit bigger than some other Japanese stars. Let's view a few photos, shall we?

Well, the lyrics seem to deal with Dandy Daddy? in Sunrise, and perhaps they loosely sort of talk about things from the girl's point of view in the show and how she doesn't get freedom from her dad to love..

THE BOOBS!!!

^ The only thing is, I would pretty much only trust candid shots because its pretty obvious in a lot of those shots that she is wearing some heavy duty padding imo and then in a few of those pics, I wouldn't even say her chest is that big.(at least not like its been looking this year) Fairyland in particular I remember thinking her chest looked very normal and even on the small side in that PV.

Ayu has pretty normal-sized breasts for an Asian. But I like how they're firm and well-shaped. I think that's what makes them look great. Some big breasts are just floppy and look terrible.

I think the reason why she looks a tad bigger in the bikini top (in the Bali pictures) is due to: a) airbrushing and b) clingy fabric of the bikini top. Anything used to emphasize the outline of breasts helps make them look larger than usual. Plus the contrast of the brown with Ayu's skin tone adds to the illusion.

ayu really has some great boobs, however she got them i don't really care. they look awesome
/boob love

Nice translation of the article by tenshi no hane@AHS:

ViVi, September 2009.


“Because we’re in this kind of era, I want to send out sparkling, cheerful and powerful things. I believe that’s my duty.”

Dressed in an flashy eighties dress, Ayu smiles, “I feel happy when I’m dressed like this”. She confidently says that her music, fashion etc. express her real essence. “If I wear basic clothes, it’ll certainly calm my mood, but if I’m not allowed to do different things, it’s just uninteresting, right? If you’re only defensive, you won’t be able to create new things.”

From the 20th century to the 21st century, in those ten years, Ayu has been leading the girls of those centuries. Whilst always showing precise answers to the doubts and problems of girls from this era, now, in her 11th year, Ayu is focusing on the tastes of certain people.

“I love the fashion of the eighties. Back then, that kind of strongly and boldly coloured patterns were widespread. Because there were no personal computers in that age, it took much time and trouble for people to make things. Now, you can easily make anything, right? For example, if it’s difficult to express one emotion with words, we convey it using pictographs, just like that right?--- But with things created in the eighties, you can feel the energy and enthusiasm of the people who made them. I think that’s a great thing.”

“When I first thought about the concept for this year’s NEXT LEVEL tour, I wanted to convey the power which people hold. That idea suddenly popped into my head.”

“When I think about organisation, up 'till now, rather than a live performance, I wanted to create an entertaining stage. But, this year, while leaving the show-like part behind, the power of the band’s performance, the liveliness of the dancers, the team, my lyrics; all those things---, I wanted to let hear and show the things which can’t be turned into machines, things which only humans can do. That feeling was very strong.”

As for this year’s 10th anniversary tour, concerning both Ayu and fans; a “thank you for these ten years” feeling of gratitude was exchanged. A feeling like some kind of ceremony beyond time. That was this year’s tour. “The people who came, laughing and crying, made me very happy; it’s a very strong feeling,” Ayu said.

A live performance with nothing but fun, happens often, but a live performance that shakes the heart, happens rarely. During the NEXT LEVEL tour, the words which Ayu created one by one, putting her entire heart into them, carried the rhythms and melodies. Especially ballads like Days became songs from the soul, as if penetrating the cells of the audience one by one. A very pure feeling.

“Lately, things like lyrics make me happy. I’m often told that it looks as if I’m pursuing a goal. I’m not conscious of it to that extent, but I can recall one thing: when I sang my lyrics in January this year, ----how should I say..?---- I can’t find a proper way to say this, but there’s a “I can do this” kind of feeling. Until now, since I’m weak in vocal range and chords, everything would disappear unnoticed----. Somehow, I feel it turned into ???. So, if it’s like that, desires will also steadily come out.”

On the 12th of August, the double A single [Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~] will be released. It’s Ayu’s new experiment, consisting of one melody but two different lyrics and arrangements.

“Sunrise is a summery, happy pop-tune, but whilst writing the lyrics I thought, “it would be nice if I turned it into a ballad, right?”. In that way, the ballad Sunset, glowing with the melancholy of the end of summer, was born.”

The subject of Sunrise is “you”, and that of Sunset is “me”. As for Sunset; I wondered if girls can sympathize with it more easily. But because I feel both songs have become each other’s ‘answer song’, I feel people can sympathize with both songs.

“Because I also wrote the songs with the theme ‘father & daughter love’ in my mind, it’s not only about romantic love, but about family love and friendship as well. I wrote the songs to fit different kinds of love.
Though I didn’t create them this way from the start, I can’t imagine them as separate anymore; both songs respond to each other.”

Ayu said, “I want to take good care of my present self”. Music, fashion, love; everything concerning Ayu is the present.
Everything continues to move forward and continues to change ---.

You're right; like you said, Sunset was written based on Daddy Dandy?, but I doubt it'll be used in the dorama. It'll just happen to be based on it as well.

^
^wow I love how she explains all the concept of the single and also of her new style/tour this year... now I think I understand more the lyrics of rollin'...

So it's like... after doing Sunrise... she decided tot turn it into a ballad... so it's based in the same melody, diffrent lyrics and different arrangement (I think it doesn't mean is a different person who makes it, but it can be of course...)

thanks for tranlsation!

[aqua_crystal]

I've seen ones... and in a shop here in Spain called "WOMAN's secret" (they sell really nice and cute pijamas, underwear and bikinis) I was surprised because I've seen bikinis that not only are stuffed (I don'r know how to explain...) but also are wonderbra like some bras... O.O

I love those outfits!! I would soooo dress like that if i was that thin!!!

[naxxo.licious™]

Okay, WOW. That interview was amazing. I think that now i can understand why ayu calls this her "next level".

I think we all love her concerts full of special effects and stuff, but if she's changing them for even more emotional performances, then i'm all for it.

I can't wait to hear Sunset. The fact that Sunrise and Sunset are REALLY connected and share similar stuff (apart from being in the same single) is just amazing.

So...i guess Sunrise is that girl singing to her dad, and Sunset is his response to her. Gorgeous. If that's the case, it's gonna be a very touching ballad.

Thank u so much for the translation tenshi no hane. It made my day .
