Sunset ~ LOVE is ALL ~ chorus lyric kanji + romaji + translation

ねえそっとささやいてみよう 
そっと強い愛を 
あなたに届くかな 
その胸に響いてるかな 
そっとささやいてみよう 
そっと強い愛を 
いつかはちゃんと伝わるかな 
遠回りするぐらいがいい 
わかりあえることわかってるから

あなたを変える気はないし 
私だって相変わらずだけど 
そんな二人でいい そう思うんだよね 
そんな二人がいいと思わない?

Romaji 

Nee sotto sasayaite miyou
Sotto tsuyoi ai wo
Anata ni todoku ka na
Sono mune ni hibiite ru ka na
Sotto sasayaite miyou
Sotto tsuyoi ai wo
Itsuka wa chanto tsutawaru ka na
Toomawari suru gurai ga ii
Wakariaeru koto wakatte ru kara

Anata wo kaeru ki wa nai shi
Watashi da tte aikawarazu dakedo
Sonna futari de ii sou omou n da yo ne
Sonna futari ga ii to omowanai?

English translation

Hey, I want to quietly whisper a soft, strong love 
I wonder if it’ll reach you and resound in your heart
I want to quietly whisper a soft, strong love 
I wonder if it’ll someday be send out clearly
It’s okay to take the roundabout way
because I know we can understand each other

I don’t want to change you
I’m also the same as ever,
but I think it’ll be okay if it’s us
It’s alright if it’s just us, right?

[Report] Fanccount at HEY! HEY! HEY! Music Show 26.07.09 shooting

Argh, i didn't check on AHS Forum since 2 days ago, that one of the lucky AHS members, tokyoxjapanxfan was selected to shoot  one of the HEY! HEY! HEY! episodes where Ayu performed Sunrise ~ LOVE is ALL ~ How lucky he is!!

Here's the fanaccount

I'm back from my day in Odaiba...aka the location of Fuji Television Studio...aka where HEY!x3 was filmed 

So basically here's the run down (and since i'm ridiculously tired it's not going to be in depth paragraphs filled with "fluff" *i'd make my high school English teacher's proud right there haha*)

-I arrived outside the studio at around 3:30 and had to wait until 4:30 to line up.

-There were a bunch of those ayu fan's cars with pictures of her on it and lots of people who were there that weren't able to go inside. I waited around the entrance to try and see Ayu when she was getting out of her car, but she was taking too long and so I went and sat under a tree in the shade.

-We lined up *all 200 people selected, though I was number 87 * in the ordinary Japanese fashion--very slowly--at 4:30 as the mail said. However, today was 32 degrees celsius/89 degrees fahrenheit and we were standing next to a glass building, which reflected all the heat onto us, in the hot, hot, hot sun, for around 45 minutes.

-Then we moved inside and stuff, not much to see, we went through all the back entrances and it was all stage setup stuff, boring. We got into a dance practice room and had to sit down. Prior to sitting down, we here handed a little HEY!x3 cellphone cleaner strap and the a-nation 09 towel. WHICH ISN'T FREE.

-They taught us how to use the towel, we had to spin it in the air when the first and third chorus is played. They take the towels back at the end of everything, but how nice--we got to keep cheap little cellphone straps haha...though, not gunna lie, they are helpful 

-We got into the stage/performance area and I was shocked...it was a really different looking stage than I had imaged...Everyone was like... "huh? Sunrise? this stage? I don't see it." haha But I think it was going for an Atlantis feel or something. It was strange, hard to describe. But the lights were really pretty when they lit up and stuff.

-We waited for a little bit and then ayu and her male dancers walked in. I couldn't believe how close I was to her. I was in the 4th-ish row and I was like 12-15 feet away from her (i don't really know exactly...but I was closer than you can get at her concerts haha) and she was wearing an orange version of her already posted outfits and she was soooooo cute! She said a little bit like do your best and be happy and then she started singing.

-Her vocals were really good, I must say. They were strong and clear! No lipsync here And we did as we were told...but not very well. We were all basically going off the person next to us haha. And so the song finished after like 3 minuts which went so fast, ayu left and then we were told that we were going to do it a 2nd time, but to be better at it haha. So we did, and then that was it...We left and ayu left and then that's it... haha

The little strips of shiny plastic were shot out during the final chorus and it was really exciting. I had a great time and it is a once in a lifetime opertunity... How many people can say they've been to a HEY!x3 filming with ayu?! hehe~~~

BTW, during the 2nd filming, I dropped my towel on the floor and couldn't spin it during the last chorus with the confetti and stuff and that's the version they're using I hope I won't be visible on tv during that part >_<

[Ayu's Diary] 23.07.09

It does not end ... 
24-07-2009 05H02 


Must deliver the PV before the end of the morning! 
It still works § 
Directed to me through the whole staff "images", everybody is doing its best to offer you an even better work, even the best one! 
Aah, the dawn arrives ... Wait two seconds. 
I CAN BREAK THE CLOCK? 
Oh, this morning I found this in san Choko position.Genre, there seems to swim ... 
Genre, the tabs are not folded in reverse? 
Is it therefore onfortable for him, this position ...?

diary_240709_1.jpg (11 KB)

Bon, allez, a last effort! ! !
But today is also the general buttie a-nation ...
Finally ...
I CAN BREAK THE CLOCK?

It does not end (part 2)
24-07-2009 07h01


Yes. Just. I am still.
Apart from the fact that I feel my brain react a little slower, so good. Finally, I think.
Courage us! ! ! ! ! ! !
In fact, I have a lot of time waiting.
Hey, you're awake ☆ come play with Chon chan ...!
CALL ME ....!
or by mail as well.

It does not end (part 3)
24-07-2009 15h24


... yeah, it's not funny.
it becomes serious. (sweat)
If I relache even a second, I think my eyelids stick to one another without effort.
At this moment: "Ayu san, Ayu san!"
a voice name is magic and wakes me up! lol
Good! The screen begins to blur m'apparaître, sucks ... lol
Anyway, with a staff that makes so many so much effort and without taking rest or sleep, I want to give me the best way! !
I have the impression that it was still less than an hour ...
Well, I go directly to the dress rehearsal (^ 0 ^;)
Not worry, I'm still young in their thirties! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I WANT TO SEE

As I no longer have any concerns, hesitations, suspicion or fear ...
I just think about it, so pure.
And I believe that this is not one.
Yet, I like a shadow that hangs in my heart ...

IS WHAT WE LOVE ♪
