Every time we meet with a crossroads
We choose one path and progress down it, but
The other unchosen path always
Seems awfully dazzling to us
Why is that?

What’s a Beautiful Day?
What’s a Beautiful Day?
When you’re lost, surely (You know)
What’s a Beautiful Day?
What’s a Beautiful Day?
You already know
That even though you chose the answer you wanted, you still hesitate

It’s a Beautiful Day
It’s a Beautiful Day
That’s nothing to be afraid of

The reason why we’re afraid of tomorrow
Is because of anxiety of things we can’t see, that can’t be helped
But let’s say, if tomorrow comes
And it’s totally what we expected, then that’s too boring
Isn’t it?

What’s a Beautiful Day?
What’s a Beautiful Day?
It’s simple in a moment (You know)
What’s a Beautiful Day?
What’s a Beautiful Day?
You already know
That being beautiful doesn’t mean you will attain beautiful things

It’s a Beautiful Day
It’s a Beautiful Day
That’s nothing to be afraid of

In this limited time
What kind of journey will you embark on?

It’s a Beautiful Day
It’s a Beautiful Day
That’s nothing to be afraid of

Hello Hello Hello…

oh, in just a blink of an eye
Work is done, and I’m at Shibuya at 8
It’s all-girls’ night today
All the various stories accumulated inside
Come out in an endless Girl’s Talk
Let’s drive away stress
Not worry about the last train
Can’t be a good girl

A phone that doesn’t ring, oh
Used to control me
Until yesterday, then it’s Goodbye

I say hello to a brand new me
Now is the best time
Nobody, not even the boyfriend, can stop me
I’m not the girl who I used to be
We can never return to this moment
So let’s not regret it
Today’s a new beginning

Hello Hello Hello…

No special plans
Sometimes, being alone is unexpectedly fun
A time of true bliss
All the various feelings stored up inside
Are detoxed away at the beauty salon
For now, my hair and nails too
So many things, I’m so busy
Can’t be a good person

Anxiety and loneliness, oh
Used to control me
Until yesterday, then it’s Goodbye

I know I got to go now
Good to go
Here we go girls yeah
Everyday is a Brand New Day
It’s never too late
Let’s start it right now
Until yesterday, then it’s Goodbye

I say hello to a brand new me
I look in a mirror and I can see a brand new smile,
a brand new style and brand new days
I’m not the girl who I used to be
Hello baby, can’t you see?
It’s me, the brand new me
Today’s a new beginning

Hello Hello Hello…

AYU’s Message

And so, it has begun.
Ayu’s pola pola¹ Diary.
Well, let’s not take it too seriously, and we’ll do this in a relaxed way, ok?
By the way, as the title suggests, this feature will be about Ayu’s daily life captured on polaroids, with things like “I bought this recently and it’s a big hit!” and “This was delicious!”, and then…
Well, basically I’d like to show off the honest Ayu which is different from the “artiste Hamasaki Ayumi” everyone sees on TV.
To show that I’m not a robot.
To show that I’m a human. Ok?
