[ayaka] The 7th thread - THIS IS ME ~絢香 10th anniversary BEST~ (13.07)

#8? Well, she didn't get #8 daily until Sunday...so why did she end up #8, despite most of the week #6 daily and first day #7? Hmm...any reason???

[Utena]

weekly ranking doesn't really depend on daily rankings, but on sales. People over #8 probably just sold more than her in the long run. But that's still a top 10 anyways, pretty good

[Kaiouforever]

Her single nijiiro is still in the top 30! Today it was at #24.

[Bigtop]

ayaka's new song to be used for 'Snoopy airship'

Ayaka's new song (currently untitled) has been chosen as the theme song for MetLife Life Insurance's manned airship 'Snoopy J-gou'.

To commemorate the design renewal of 'Snoopy J-gou', Ayaka wrote the new song while imagining this airship. She will perform this song for the first time on September 30 at the event 'SNOOPY J Special Night' at Maihama Amphitheater. Beside the live performance, the event will feature a 3D projection mapping show and a design contest ceremony.

A total of 500 people will be invited to the event. The event's special page will be recruiting spectators from August 11 at 1:00 pm to August 29 at 4:00 pm. In addition, Ayaka's fan club 'Room Ayaka' is currently accepting applications for viewing.

[Bigtop]

Whoa, new song already...I hope she gets a new single with this new song pretty soon! But Snoopy J-gou... That may be more of a single B-side song...

[Delicious n Bold]

waiting for ayaka's new album.
In Japan I finally bought her debut and the beginning limited edition.
I swear, the beginning is ayaka's best album.

[Bigtop]

New album? I haven't heard of any news in regards to upcoming Ayaka releases...

[Delicious n Bold]

It's really the only course of action left for her.
Anyway is there a translation for ライラライ anywhere online? Because I had to make my own and I don't trust some parts.

[chocopockymaster]

^ what parts in particular are you having issues with?

[Delicious n Bold]

眠い目をこすり今日がまた始まる
初めて目が合ったの急ぐ自転車で

And

今ここにいられるのは
一つ一つの出会いのおかげ

I translated them as:

On the speeding bicycle on which our eyes met for the first time
I rub my sleepy eyes, and today begins again

And

What is here right now is
The grace of each and every encounter

[chocopockymaster]

I think you're on the right track with the first part.

To me, the second lines read more like "I'm still here thanks to each and every person I met along the way". More literally, The reason I can be here right now is thanks to each encounter that I had.

[Delicious n Bold]

Thank you!
So I'll keep the first one and change the second one.
I was actually surprised not to find a translation for this sole song on jpopasia.

BTW one more line: チャンスは逃せない前進め！
Something like "Continue forward before you (can) lose the chance?"

[chocopockymaster]

Yeah. Like, don't let the chance slip away, keep moving forward! kinda thing.

I believe & Nijiiro have been given the musical box treatment

Ayaka shares the stage with Snoopy for her new song

On September 30, Ayaka made an appearance at the event 'SNOOPY J Special Night' at Maihama Amphitheater.

The event was held to commemorate the design renewal of MetLife Life Insurance's manned airship 'Snoopy J-gou'. For the newly designed airship, Ayaka wrote a new song called "Have fun!!".

In front of about 2,000 people, Ayaka first sang "Nijiiro" and "Gensoukoku". Then, she sang "Have fun!!" for the very first time. When the intro began to play, Snoopy took the stage, which made the all-standing audience sing along together.

Regarding the song, Ayaka commented, "Humming this song will cheer you up. Hearing this song will make you smile naturally. Hearing this song will make you want to look up at the sky. I wrote this song hoping that it will excite everyone." Finally, she expressed her gratitude to the audience, saying, "I'm glad I was able to 'Have fun!!' with everyone!"
