That’s one of the songs from Mr.Children’s
album, released around this time ♪

The song’s gentleness slowly permeates
and pierces into my heart! ♪
I feel healed! ♪

And then, it also encourages me de-ariyasu! （*｀・Θ・´*）

Ah!
These photos feature the fluffy, curly perm

that the people who watched “Bokura no ongaku” says fits me really well (*^Θ^*∞)

Message found in photobook “ayu”.

Let me do this properly—

Nice to meet you, I am Hamasaki Ayumi.

I have been writing lyrics and singing since the age of 19.

The first lyric I wrote as Hamasaki Ayumi was “poker face”.

At first, the idea that my thoughts would be delivered to someone through song,
gave me a really wondrous feeling.

However, since then, I learnt that songs continue to grow and live on,
due to the people who feel for them.

The fact that songs are my life
have made me happy at times, sad at others.

Being “Hamasaki Ayumi”
has also brought me joy as well as pain.

However, I have lived through 15 years this way. And now,

I am really grateful
to have lived my life as “Hamasaki Ayumi”.

Hamasaki Ayumi’s 15 years
were 15 years given by the people
who loved her songs and helped them grow.

From now on, I will continue to sing with honesty.
And I pray that my songs will continue to live on in a corner of someone’s heart and life.

I want to continue to sing and live my life, incorporating this unreasonable prayer into each and every song.

My songs, which remain alive somewhere.
To all the people who have shown unwavering love to them all this while,
and to all the poeple I may meet in the future through them,

I thank you from my heart.

Ayu

Hai to diamond – Momoiro Clover Z

灰とダイヤモンド (Hai to daiyamondo) – Ashes and diamond

from 5TH DIMENSION album.

Where is this place?
What can I do here?
Why was I born?
My mind had gone totally blank
But I started to move

I should be progressing
But why
Is the scenery repeating itself?
But once I take a closer look, it’s somehow different
It’s surely changing

As we grow older
The road goes like a spiral
After soaring up high
(Draw out an ellipse)
I drop on deep down
(Don’t sink into the zig-zag)
As if I have wings

In order to fly higher than in the past
In order to clear the high jump
I go back, then run out
A ring of dawn light

In this world where everyone gathers with a theme
Even if all sound disappears
We should be able to say that we love this place
Even if we make mistakes again

These memories which I seem to have met
Before, if I could connect them up
I wish I had the words
(I know the truth)
To surpass those words
(To the next dimension)
A new way of doing things

A dream I see even after I’ve awoken
Decorates and sways my heart
I don’t need lots of precious things
Just love, tied with a ribbon

If we’re not together, we can never
Even imagine it again
As we collide, the miracle that’s here
Is not a coincidence, but has a wonderful meaning

Breaking the thin film
These wings have sprouted
Before a high wall, not knowing how to spread them
But I knew
To fly before doubt came
Leaving behind a burning mark
As I aimed for the next sky

On the other side where the fog has lifted
It’s not all beautiful here
But I won’t lose
No matter what strong winds or sand is thrown at me

In order to fly higher than in the past
In order to clear the high jump
I have reborn countless times
A samsara of dawn light

A diamond amidst the ashes
Can’t find anything but what’s real
In order to burn up this life
I live through the present with you

5 The POWER – Momoiro Clover Z

from 5TH DIMENSION album.

——

hey, gazing around the locker room
Keeping the tension, sitting down
On the pipe chairs, Momoiro Clover Z (Z!)
Body full-set before the show
Ever ready, full of spirit
But with trembling legs and faint-heartedness
Look, take a deep breath! If not we’ll burst into tears
Don’t get lost for eternity in that labyrinth
Echoing voices coming from the Coliseum
Let’s go to those who are waiting (OH YEAH!)
Howling to slip off the limiter
Goodbye to the past, off to the future again
5 people stepping into the light
Sweeping out the gloom, getting into position
Lifting our fists together with you
AH, with a fighting pose
GO AHEAD!
(Can’t lose out to despair)
Can’t end the fight without you
(Reserve that energy for attacks)
Spread our hands and embrace it

Your fingertips reaching out to us here
Fighting power
Even our brains are at full charge
Shine and we’ll be invincible

woo, floating in empty space for a second
A high kick to the end of the galaxy
Stamina like a tiger’s
Endless. Let’s pull through
This fight and smile
One, two, punch. It’s that easy
Jumping further than anyone else
Peace sign
Upper cut, don’t sink at the finish
Calorie cut, flat feelings
With all accumulated trainings, we’re
All falling in love
To the front, to the back, from flower to flower
Like flitting butterflies, granting dreams
Stabbing with the eighth YO, disappearing somewhere
There’s always an essential time
All-weather athletes
Leading the escape down the street
Beautiful skin, crazy everyday treat
Depending on the seasons, trick or treat
Come, when it comes to concerts, it’s this five!
Greatly increasing the speed as we drive
Before the mike, the highest style
Without any tricks, entering the highest climax
(Let’s make this the greatest scene)
We truly want you to witness today
(It’s perfect, your support)
Lift our chins and embrace it

It’s always hiding at the bottom of your heart
Fighting power
put your hands up!
Reach out to me, burst it and we’ll be invincible
Your fingertips reaching out to us here
Fighting power
Even our brains are at full charge
Shine and we’ll be invincible

Guarding the breakthrough with confidence
Continuous high-fives
Not even an ounce of losing spirit
We are the strongest
Running for everyone’s sakes
Defeating every enemy that comes
Standing in the ring with a
Peace sign
Wait a little more
Victory is coming soon
Wait
Wait
wait!

It’s always hiding at the bottom of your heart
Fighting power
put your hands up!
Reach out to me, burst it and we’ll be invincible
Your fingertips reaching out to us here
Fighting power
Even our brains are at full charge
Shine and we’ll be invincible

It’s always you who give me
Fighting power
But once the battle ends, I’ll give it back to you

Reaching to your heart, with a peace sign

Bokura no century – Momoiro Clover Z

僕等のセンチュリー (Bokura no senchurii) – Our century

from Bokura no century single.

——

Pumpkin carriage, glass slippers, hey! Listen! It’s not a lie
Daddy frog, grasshopper boss, it’s not delusions
I want to meet everyone soon, yes
This, this place is love’s planetarium

In the painting on the wall, a mermaid’s berth
An endless dance, as if wrought by strange magic
Aah, ding dong, ding dong dang dong

The stars are falling tonight, baby!
If this is a dream, don’t wake me up, baby! kiss me!
Sparkling grinding holy night!
Hey!
Let’s begin! Our! Century

Plants are sleeping, midnight trip, escaping from my room
The moonlight, with bare feet, lost in the woods
Finally finding the poison apple OH!
That’s, that’s a no-no! danger! danger!

The candy house from the fairytale poses sweet temptation
An endless song, as if wrought by enchanted magic
Aah, ding dong, ding dong dang dong

The stars are falling tonight, baby!
If this is a dream, don’t wake me up, baby! kiss me!
Sparkling grinding holy night!
Hey!
A curious winter! Wonderland

Jack of hearts
King of spades
Queen of diamonds
All waiting for someone to lead the way to peace
The clubs!
The guardian is here!

Peace! Love!

Ding dong

The stars are falling tonight, baby!
If this is a dream, don’t wake me up, baby! kiss me!
Sparkling grinding hold me tight!
Hey!
Let’s begin! Our! Century
Tonight! The world will become one!

Arigatou no present – Momoiro Clover Z

Performed by Ariyasu Momoka.

ありがとうのプレゼント (Arigatou no purezento) – Thank you present

from Battle and Romance album.

——

If only I had the confidence to do it well, but I don’t
The chain of fruitless efforts brings down the rain

Please, just one more step. But even if you’d listen to me
The cold facing winds get in the way

Even if I become strong, what is essential
Is a whole lot of tears, full of negative factors

It’s alright, it’s alright, take a look around
Everyone is not alone
Thank you, that alone will change tomorrow
So I always want to say it with a smile

What is right? I don’t know anymore
Even though there’s not a single cloud in the sky

Even if I believe that dreams can come true
They are swallowed up and lost in the city’s noise

Winning and progressing may be difficult, but
My refusal to admit defeat links me to what’s next

Always, always, let’s face forward
Not down nor backward
That one step alone will change the future
So we need to move forward now

It’s alright, it’s alright, take a look around
Everyone is not alone
Thank you, that alone will change tomorrow
So I always want to say it with a smile
Forever, forever, I want to be here
I want to show you a dream
I want to send it out to you
Lots of thank yous that will change the future

Ano sora he mukatte – Momoiro Clover Z

あの空へ向かって (Ano sora he mukatte) – Towards that sky

from Iriguchi no nai deguchi album.

——

The bright big sun is always watching from above
Under the blue sky, I spend time together with you

Directing my smile at you, let’s hold hands

Towards a tomorrow sparkling with light, we progress on this road
As the gentle wind blows (always)
Towards a future overflowing with hope, we draw out a dream
Towards that sky

A sparkling dazzling light shines on my future
Heading for a shining tomorrow, moving forward step by step

Looking up at the sky with you, I remember that day

Towards a tomorrow sparkling with light, we step out
On the path of an endless dream (let’s jump out)
Towards a future overflowing with hope, we make flowers bloom
In your heart

If we move on while believing in hope, we can overcome any wall
Look, let’s face forward and start walking now

Towards a tomorrow sparkling with light, we progress on this road
As the gentle wind blows (always)
Towards a future overflowing with hope, we draw out a dream
Towards that sky

Towards a tomorrow sparkling with light, we progress on this road
As the gentle wind blows (always)
Towards a future overflowing with hope, we draw out a dream
Towards that sky, let’s fly

You’ve said no reading of manga, but…
I’m already at breaking point!
I really really love Mama! But…
I want more freedom!
I want you to believe in Aarin more!
Are you listening? Mama!!!

No to that, no to this, no to that, no to everything
Why no? Is it for Aarin’s sake?
No no no no, don’t wanna don’t wanna don’t wanna don’t wanna!

Rebel rebel rebellious age!
Aarin is functioning at a rebellious age!
I want to be a child but
I want to become an adult too

…Ai desu ka? – Momoiro Clover Z

Performed by Tamai Shiori.

…愛ですか? (…Ai desu ka?) – Is it love?

from Battle and Romance album.

——

An unreachable place no matter how tall I try to stand
Just what is over there?

If we gently hold hands in the deserted school building
Will I see the answer?
When I sometimes lose my way and cry
Please somehow stay here and watch over me

My smaller hand in your larger one
Gaining warmth as happiness overflowed
I don’t know anything, so please tell me
This strong feeling I have for you… Is it love?

Still unreachable no matter how I stretch out my hands
But I want to know soon

We kissed in secret, not letting anyone find out
That was when I knew
When I mess up and become depressed
Send me a mail to cheer me up, just one word will do

My smaller body being held by the larger you
With the embrace, my heartbeat overflowed
This emotion I feel for you doesn’t feature in my lessons
Wanting to see you everyday… Is that wrong?

My smaller hand in your larger one
Gaining warmth as happiness overflowed
When I become an adult someday, I may change
But why do I still want to stay by you… Is it love?
