Today I listen to the songs by Ayumi Hamasaki, yeah, the famous Japanese singer, my goddess that I like her for nearly 16 years. Although I often listen to her songs, today the feeling is special.
The new album A Best the 15th Anniversary Edition is so amazing. All of it are old songs, like A Song for XX, Depend On You, To Be, Seasons, M, Appears, Far Away, Surreal,etc. When old melody start, I am totally moved, so that is her voices company me more than ten years. Regardless of the black middle school ages, sour senior high school ages, Ayu and Elva, their songs, voices, even if languages barrier, I still love their tones, their melody.
Their music encourages me. Their music gives some light,hope and joy to my dim moments.
I remember one of Ayu's old albums is named Idol's Duty. It is my first time to buy her album, in that time I still listen to the cassettes. The back of the cassette writes some words about what is the duty of idol. For individuals, the duty is the model, the spiritual pillar, the power...
In the latest album A Best, the last three songs are acappella versions, they are more moving.
