Hamasaki Ayumi Last Summer Cruise

An announcement for the end of a short, liberal summer. Baring the body she has worked hard for everyday, putting on make-up to colour match with the strong sunlight… Such a summer makes one wish to taste a little more of its lingering memory. This issue’s cover girl is Hamasaki Ayumi-san. We tagged along as she did the photoshoot for her summer best album, released a few days ago. We chased after her summer.

“Summer is my image. I want to fully enjoy this season I’m in right now.”

——

“I want to do the things that I want to do, in a good way, because I don’t wish to regret”

As a summer girl, I wish to enjoy the present with all my might

At the beginning of 2012’s summer, whilst juggling the tight schedule of her nationwide tour, pop princess Hamasaki Ayumi was spotted at Minaminoshima. The reason for her presence was not for vacation or private matters, but to do filming for the summer best album, much-anticipated among fans. After 7 long years, we managed to tag along for a photoshoot. There, we chased after ayu’s summer beauty.

What is summer to ayu?

“I guess summer is me. (laugh) I have lots of summer releases, and people often tell me that I look like the summerish type. When summer comes, I often start to get busy, so I guess my own image of myself as a summer girl is strong too.”

For this issue, she utilized yellows, greens and other tropical colours for her make-up look. These few years, browns and beiges have dominated her look, so we enquired the reason behind such a choice.

“It’s the mood of the colours. Plus, my skin is darker now too. I guess tanned skin makes me want to use colours which I don’t normally use. I’ll probably go through the rest of summer with dark skin too. I don’t wish to become as tanned as I used to be, so there’ll be no suntan oil. But young girls who like to wear long-sleeved gloves and large hats, sit under umbrellas, or place cardigans over their shoulders, even at resorts; is that enjoying summer? (laugh) I may regret this someday, but I still want to enjoy summer. I feel that there’s no need to be so sensitive to the season.”

How do you take care of your body after suntanning?

“Of course, protection against UV rays is most basic, but I also take care to keep my skin moist. For example, when I get exposed to strong sunlight, I will put myself on a Vitamin C drip. I also suffer from skin irritation.”

Also, the live tour “~POWER OF MUSIC~”, which delivered her music and words after the disaster last year, seemed to have changed ayu too.

“I want to treasure the present and do the things that I want to do, in a good way, because I don’t wish to regret. All this while, whenever I go shopping in town or to Kanto’s beaches during summer, I sometimes do so alone so as not to inconvenience those friends who accompany me, or have them fuss over me. But now, I’m all “Let’s go!” (laugh) Sort of like worrying about a sunburn after you get one, not before.”

This time, ayu has released a huge summer collection.

“I’ve been thinking about doing a summer album since 10 years ago, but with the schedule of lives and normal album releases, the idea never materialized. However, I wish to create some memories of summer with the fans this time. So I got everyone to do a vote, and this album was created solely from those results. The staff and myself made new disoveries too, such as how everyone felt that “MOON” and “ANother song” are summer songs too, so it was really fun. I hope that when everyone listens to this album next summer or during any summer, they will remember this as the album they created together with ayu.”

Now, ayu’s nationwide tour, spanning 13 cities and 34 shows, is coming to an end. When asked about her future plans, she replied with a smile, “I’ll think about that when this tour has ended”.

Ayu’s Deji Deji Diary Vol. 145 October

This month’s Deji Deji Diary is a special version!!!!
It’s about the making of “Ayu HEART NAIL BOOK”,
finally released this month!!
Full of precious off-shots from the photoshoot.
Do check it out!!!

Ayu in different poses for the various scenes. Each set, make-up, and hairstyle is totally unique to match with the mood of the heart nail designs. Heart nails are not limited to cute designs, but also have many other types, perfect for Ayu!!!

With a change in costume, the photoshoot mood changes as well. A smile for POP cute heart nails! A super sexy expression for chic adult heart nails! etc… Get the book for more details on these nails.

——

Careful scrutiny throughout the photoshoot. Taking in stride the hard schedule of 30 different shots in a day and the huge amount of trouble taken, Ayu herself plays a large role with her perfect direction!!

Even the shots which feature only the hand are modelled by Ayu herself!! Ayu’s passion can be discerned from her comment, “It’s my nail book, so having someone else’s hand inside is a little strange, right?”

To add a personal and realistic touch to the photoshoot, Ayu’s various personal belongings also make an appearance. The familiar Pino, Papiko, as well as Choco and Cocoa from the “Ayu FAMILY” also take part in the shoot! Everyone gets to try a kiss scene with Ayu, but look forward to finding out who made the cut and appeared in the book itself!

Bad Flower – TOKYO GIRLS’ STYLE

29 Thursday Nov 2012

Posted by Misa-chan in lyrics, TOKYO GIRLS' STYLE

≈ 1 Comment

from ROAD TO BUDOKAN 2012 〜Bad Flower〜 single.

——

Like whirling petals
The echoes of goodbye melt and disappear in the blue sky
Towards somewhere other than here
Endless irritation from unwavering escape

I’ve given up on everything long ago
I always say such courageous things
But I was really stifling myself to death

On the edge
I can’t be an angel anymore
If I throw out my naked love
Will you embrace me gently?
Ring ring
The alarm is sounding
Someone stop it, now
The secret feelings locked inside
Are blooming wildly at the back of my heart

Like a dream, the dazzling season
Is like an imprint slipping through the cracks between my fingers
Like this, without anyone knowing
I want to break into pieces like stardust, and rain down

I’ve realized everything long ago
But I pretended not to know anything
And trampled on my innocent self

Still some ways
Yes, the devil is whispering
If I throw away my torn up love
Will it disappear without a trace?
In pieces
Flowing from the wounds
Of my torn up heart
Waiting impatiently for that last drop
The trembling flower at the back of my heart

I’ve given up on everything long ago
I always say such courageous things
But I was really stifling myself to death

On the edge
I can’t be an angel anymore
If I throw out my naked love
Will you embrace me gently?
Ring ring
The alarm is sounding
Someone stop it, now
The secret feelings locked inside
Are blooming wildly at the back of my heart

夏の終りにあなたへの手紙書きとめています (Natsu no owari ni anata he no tegami kakitometeimasu) – Writing a letter to you at the end of summer

from Natsu no owari ni anata he no tegami kakitometeimasu single + U-ka saegusa IN db IV ~Crystal na kisetsu ni miserarete~ album.

——

A single white bird is flying to the blue sky where you are
Just like someone who has lost his goal

I loved with all my heart, so I have no regrets, but
God, we were not compatible
That’s why I don’t say anything

Writing a letter to you at the end of summer
The blue ink is just so so sad

I will set out alone on a journey at the end of summer to forget these memories
Until the day when I can forget

I thought I would never feel this kind of sorrow again
Because I believed that you were my last one

I never could speak those words from that night
Even now, they are sleeping at the bottom of my heart

Writing a letter to you at the end of summer
Only time is flowing, that’s how I’ve been living

I will quietly open the door to tomorrow alone at the end of summer
Until the day when I can smile

Writing a letter to you at the end of summer
The blue ink is just so so sad

I will set out alone on a journey at the end of summer to forget these memories
Until the day when I can forget

Until the day when I can forget

もう君をひとりにさせない (Mou kimi wo hitori ni sasenai) – Won’t leave you alone again

from Mou kimi wo hitori ni sasenai single + U-ka saegusa IN db IV ~Crystal na kisetsu ni miserarete~ album.

——

Unable to discuss with anyone, brooding over my problems
Stopping and unable to move on
When was it that I felt that way?

Surely, when someone has hurt me
That someone must have been hurt himself too, but I didn’t realize that
It must have been painful for you too

In the midst of the same days repeating
You remain unchanging
So that I can accept myself for who I am too

Won’t leave you alone again
Gently touching my trembling heart
I’ve realized that I’m not the only one who was lonely

Embraced by the soft sunshine
The too long winter has ended
Having known loneliness, we have surely become strong

Like that bird, embracing the blue sky
Flying towards freedom
I pierced through the grey skies
And have reached you again

Without doubt, reality is soaring high
Even if I can’t fly as well as I thought
The things which trouble me with their loss are few

The kindness I can’t speak of, as time draws too near
There are times when we hope too much and miss out on something
But I don’t want to run from sorrow anymore

Won’t leave you alone again
We have always taken the long road, but
This heart can’t stand that others were lonely too

Time has passed in a flash
Even if today becomes a memory someday
I’ve realized that the one thing I don’t want to lose is “you”

Won’t leave you alone again
Embracing your profile as you cast your eyes down
Because I know that our warmth is our loneliness

I won’t let go of your held hand again
I don’t want anything else anymore
Because I’ve realized that the one thing I really want to protect is “you”

2スピリッツ (2 Supirittsu) – 2 Spirits

from 2 Spirits/Legend single.

Whole body! Whole soul! My soul is burning
Absolute! Progress! No reason to look back
Total! Burning! Won’t stop until then
Chase that faraway dream many thousand light years away!

Should I go right or left?
A endless journey full of wrong turns

There is no guidepost nor a map
Searching for light in this dream-coloured labyrinth

If you can feel
In this wide universe
Then you have a soul
And you don’t have to be afraid anymore

Whole body! Whole soul! My soul is burning
Absolute! Progress! No reason to look back
Total! Burning! Won’t stop until then
Chase that faraway dream many thousand light years away!

Planets and satellites
They are apart, but they are still connected by gravity

The power of unseen dreams
Are the energy that moves us now

If you believe in yourself
When you are caught in a dilemma
Then you have an answer
And you won’t be lost anymore

Full strength! Full throttle! Let’s continue to burn
Desperate! Situation! But no reason to give up
Fair! And square! Let’s fight and win this way
Let’s break the limits of speed and capture it!

Whole body! Whole soul! My soul is burning
Absolute! Progress! No reason to look back
Total! Burning! Won’t stop until then
A dream that grants all creation

Full strength! Full throttle! Let’s continue to burn
Desperate! Situation! But no reason to give up
Fair! And square! Let’s fight and win this way
Let’s break the limits of speed and capture it!

Until bedtime, GOOD DAY!

Tomorrow too, GOOD DAY!
I’ve been waiting, always
From you, an SOS

I will go
Like Superman
Anywhere

From the day I met you
I feel like I can fly to the sky
Everything in the world is mine

Seeing your smile
I can forget about time
My time is yours

When you are feeling down
I wish you will call me

What a bodyguard
Only your bodyguard
Jumping towards you
Out of the illuminated city

What a bodyguard
Crossing any mountain and valley
Protecting you with my all

Always beside you, your bodyguard
A fearless Mazinger
Once a secret NAKED LOVE
My BODY for your LIFE, it changes form…

Even so, feelings of “I want to see you”
Feelings of laughing together with you
Come round to me as power
YOUR SMILE is MY POWER

When you are feeling down
I wish you will call me

What a bodyguard
Only your bodyguard
Jumping towards you
Out of the illuminated city

What a bodyguard
Crossing any mountain and valley
Protecting you with my all

Wrap yourself in my arms
Your sleeping face is so precious…
Salang e

What a bodyguard
Only your bodyguard
Jumping towards you
Out of the illuminated city

What a bodyguard
Crossing any mountain and valley
Protecting you with my all

What a bodyguard
Only your bodyguard
Jumping towards you
Out of the illuminated city

What a bodyguard
Crossing any mountain and valley
Protecting you with my all

Protecting you with my all

Won’t U try?
Take my hand, Run run run with me
I promise you won’t regret… Let’s go. Run run run with me

Loveless, blending in the midst of brilliance Solitude night
I was attracted to you, within the ring of smiles. But can’t say “Hi”

Counting down to 12:00
It’s looming, The End brings a closure

Won’t U try?
Take my hand, Run run run with me
I promise you won’t regret… Let’s go.
Run run run with me
If I’m with you, I can feel love even for an empty world

Given up on something, your tightly held Tiny Shoulder
I was half waiting for that. Rely on me from now on

You won’t agree so easily. I know, I’m like this too

Won’t U try?
It’s alright. Come, Run run run with me
I will shoulder the past you cannot erase
Run run run with me
I won’t let lonely thoughts come again. Don’t be afraid, Run with me

There is nobody here. The moon is watching over us
Don’t be flustered. I will continue waiting for you

Won’t U try?
Take my hand, Run run run with me
I promise you won’t regret… Let’s go.
Run run run with me

Won’t U try?
It’s alright. Come, Run run run with me
I will shoulder the past you cannot erase
Run run run with me
If I’m with you, I will love even an empty world
Run with me

[RAP]
Won’t U try?
Just holding my hand
Connected hands, like this, come together
Run run run with me
Now, Count to one two three
A future with love
I’ll make you see
Run run run with me

Head hung in shame, rainy day

If I can dream of you, so happy

This feeling is swelling again
So that nobody can stop it
It is so painful, what can I do?
Like it’s becoming something
