[romaji & translation] Last angel

[CHE.R.RY]

Omg lol I never thought dirty when I read that xD! But I DID only read it after it was changed to "merry" so that is probably why lol. Hmph Idk though, I always felt that Ayu mentioned sex in her songs but in a very subtle manner...who knows though?

[I Am... Aaron]

Couldn't the whole "merry night, lonely morning" line simply mean somehting more along the lines of dating or going out but coming home alone/waking up alone the next day? It doesn't have to mean sex necessarily.

Either way, I like it.

[HELVENEUE]

These lyrics are not as strong as ayu's lyrics usually are.

I really hope that the every so slightly sensual message of this song is what she was trying to get across because otherwise....this song is just lame.

Thank you, blue bird and masa! Your explanations brought an additional amount of depth to her lyrics here!

I LOVE this song. Number one, it is so different from her other stuff, musically. So even without understanding a significant amount of Japanese, it stole my attention immediately when I played it for the first time.
But, not only that, now after reading along with these lyrics (constantly switching between following the Japanese and reading the English translation), I've gotten such an even deeper connection to the song.

I absolutely love the way she sings this part:

If I recall correctly, she never really sings like this, in this quiet and deep/creepy-like tone, in many of her previous songs over the last ten years, if any at all, until now.

Not only that, but then she repeats it in a more audible tone.

I love the way she repeats all the really cool parts of the song (besides the awesome intro) in a louder, different tone throughout the song.

This song also is one of the few songs of hers where the instrumental/karaoke version of the song is awesome enough to be a song by itself! (Another, in my opinion, would be "WHATEVER" from long ago).

Anyway, my point is, this song is great. As well as "Virgin Road". I could do without "Sweet Season" or whatever though.


Thank you Masa, as always!!

I think maybe "ever free" and "monochrome" are the two most noticeable previous efforts where she attempted something a little similar to what you're describing? "ever free" does have its high notes, but she's also very quiet in verses, and like she's sing-talking at parts. "monochrome" has a similar, monotonous feel throughout. That might be intentional, given the nature of both songs. Still, I also noticed this shift you're describing for those particular parts of the song -- it's like what she's describing is meant to be more direct, blunt, or stronger? It's hard to describe. I just feel like those two parts of the song are more like she's talking to us instead of singing.

o_o Sense, am I making any?
