The GIFT music video

Through an introduction from a mutual friend last fall, Ayumi made a request to JJ to compose a song. A heartwarming wedding ballad, combined with a beautiful melody and tender lyrics, was thus born. With JJ starring alongside Ayumi as hero and heroine to bring the feelings of “Love” to life, JJ memorized the Japanese lyrics to “The GIFT” upon filming of the MV in Japan. There’s even a scene in the video where JJ and Ayumi sings a duet!

On “The GIFT”, Ayumi commented “JJ isn’t just amazing as an artist but he is also a wonderful person, you can just tell, it exudes his personality and it’s a beautiful song. The demo that he made with humming the lyrics was just amazing – I wanted to realize the song while staying faithful to the perspective that he had. I personally really love the song, it would make me really happy if this song would grow to become something that reminded you of the most important moments in your life.”
“The music video really matches the atmosphere JJ created, one that expresses the “purity” of the concept in its entirety. I’m really happy to have collaborated with JJ on both the song and music video.”

JJ Lin left a message saying “Before actually meeting Ayu, to me she was Asia’s J-pop queen. For someone who has challenged various song genres, this song is a ‘GIFT’ to her, as well as a ‘GIFT’ to her fans.”

Again, MR stands for media reporter.


Spoiler:
MR: Your recent music video with Ayumi Hamasaki has created a lot of buzz. How do you feel about the whole experience.
JJ: It's really beautiful; very dream-like. Ever since I've met Ayu (no more Ayumi Hamasaki haha) till her guest appearance at my concert, it already feels like a dream come true. And yet after that I got invited to Japan to be the male lead in the music video, it all really feels like I'm still dreaming. And I feel that the end result is really great. I'm very glad that I can be part of this process and also play the piano accompaniment for The GIFT. I hope we can collaborate and create more magic in the future. I heard she's interested in making a Chinese version so we're now in the process of writing the lyrics.

MR: The fans find it a shame that you didn't sing with her in the song. So will you be singing in the Chinese version?
JJ: A duet version? Well I can consider that! Maybe a different version, a duet version.
