[News] 16.10.2010 Ayumi Hamasaki's 50th Single "L" Cover Similar To Taiwanese Artist's Book Cover?

What do you guys think of this?
It's quite similar, except for the expressions

(Some parts are omitted because not related to Ayu)

Despite not being able to write or even hold a pair of chopsticks, Da S is still working hard on updating her blog with her left hand. One of her new entries caused quite a stir as she uploaded an old photo that looked strikingly similar to the cover of Ayumi Hamasaki’s new album “L”. She commented, “Isn’t this the cover picture of 美容大王 (literally translates to ‘Beauty King’, released in 2007)?” Despite the similarities, fans of the singer quickly came to their idol's defence saying Da S was intentionally creating commotion. Other netizens pointed out that the idea has also been used by other stars over a decade ago.

[Article] 16.09.2010 Ayu Heads For Breaking Seiko Matsuda's Record, Having Her Song Composed By Noriyuki Makihara

Singer Ayumi Hamasaki(31), she has her songs that will be concluded in a total of 50th single 「L」 (on sale 29th) composed by Noriyuki Makihara(41). This news was announced on 15th. Since July, 2003, this is a triple A-side maxi single in 7 years, and she had 「Sweet Season」 written by him.


Ayu aiming to set the new record got encouraging cooperation from the hit maker. If 49th single 「crossroad」 that composed by Tetsuya Komuro and released on 22nd and this 50th single 「L」 get the firts place at the Oricon weekly chart, she's going to break the record of Seiko Matsuda's record (the first place for 24 singles running in women artist) in 22 years.


Hamasaki, producer max matsuura (President Masato Matsuura) and director talked, so they asked Makihara to compose the song. The reason why they looked for "Mr.Makihara to compose warmly medium ballad song fitting for 50th memorial." Ayu and Makihara, they just greeted each other on FNS popular song festival several years ago, They didn't got contact especially.


Ayu said "Mr.Makihara is releasing many wonderful songs ever, I'm so glad. it was impressive that so warmly softly melody, so I could made-up image soon when I heard it fot the first time." Makihara said "This song is quite different feeling from previous Ms.Hamasaki's songs. Theme is 『Country Girl.』 I composed this song that eveyone has in their heart and obedient thoughts. In Ms.Hamasaki's eloquent singing voice, I'm looking for what expression will appear."


The result of weekly chart is going to announce on October 5th. Ayu is just going to hold the first of 7 days concert at her home ground, Yoyogi first gymnasium in her 12th years of debut.

On both CD selling and concert, we should notice whether she reach a women singers' milestone.

[Lyric] 15.09.2010 "Virgin Road" Lyric Kanji + Romaji + Translation

This lyric of "Virgin Road" should be official since it's from Recochoku official site :)

The meaning of this song is really beautiful!

it's totally a LOVE SONG :)

Kanji

ねぇ今までの 孤独や痛みや罪
愛 その全てに心からありがとう

ねぇ今まで ちゃんと言えずにいた
uh-言葉がある この命をありがとう

自分を大事に出来なかったあの日
傷ついたのは私なんかじゃなかった

いつでも明るく振る舞ってきたその
横顔に初めて涙見た日忘れない

こんな私の事を愛し 守りたいと言ってくれる
人に出逢いました これからふたり共に歩き出します
どんな悲しみが襲っても どんな喜びに出逢っても
どんな瞬間も分かち合い 生きて行くと誓いました
どうか 見守ってて

ねぇこれから 起きて行く全てにも
uh-感謝してくよ これからもずっとありがとう

言い争って泣いたままで叫んだり
家を飛び出して行った夜もあったね

それでも結局いつでも誰よりも
理解してきてくれた事わかってるから

貴女がいつかのその昔 出逢い愛したあの人と
私が愛している人は どこか似てる様な気がします

貴女がいつかのその昔 出逢い愛したあの人と
私が愛している人は どこか似てる様な気がします
例えばふとしたしぐさに どこか面影感じる
そこに気付いたとき涙が 一粒頬をつたいました
とても温かい

ねぇ今までの 孤独や痛みや罪
愛 その全てに心からありがとう

Translation:

Hey, all this while, the loneliness, the pain, the guilt
And love. For all these, with my heart, "Thank you"

Hey, all this while, the things which I could not say
uh- If I had the words, for this life, "Thank you"

That day, when I didn't treasure myself
The one who got hurt, was not me

I can't forget the day when
I first saw tears on that always cheerful profile

I met someone who said "I love you, and want to protect you"
From now on, the two of us will set off together
No matter what sadness we'll face, what happiness we'll meet
No matter if we're apart, we promised to live on together
So please watch over me

Hey, from now on, everything which may happen
uh- I'll be grateful for it, from now till forever, "Thank you"

There were also nights when we argued, cried, yelled
And ran away from home

Even so, in the end, someday,
I will be understood by someone. I know that

I realized that, someone I met and loved a long time ago,
is so much like the you, whom I love now

I realized that, someone I met and loved a long time ago,
is so much like the you, whom I love now
Like that impulsive behaviour, I feel like I've known it before
When I noticed that, a single tear, so very warm,
Traced down my cheek

Hey, all this while, the loneliness, the pain, the guilt
And love. For all these, with my heart, "Thank you"
