Favorite Song~ayumi hamasaki~

My favorite song is "LIFE".

This song is recorded "Mirrocle World". This is about the value of life. What would you feel when your significant other dies? I want you to read this song lyric with sound. If our significant others die, there is no change in our real life. The weather is changing, people work, students go to school etc. Our world is constantly changing in spite of our precious one isn't there. It’s too sad and strange for words. She sings about these feelings. Also she writes things that she noticed only after her significant other died.

I want you to think about how nice we live now through this song.

How are you today? I want to tell you about my favorite Utada's songs.
My 5th favorite song is COLORS. This song compares life to colors. By such point, I like this song.
And, my 4th favorite song is SAKURA drops. The reason why I like this song is that compares cherry blossom to love. Japanese people like cherry blossom!!
Next, my 3rd favorite song is Prisoner Of Love. I like this song's words and especially I like the part of 'my life suddenly changed from bored days to shining days when you appeared'.
And, my 2nd favorite song is Can You Keep A Secret? This song's promotion video is very nice. Utada and a robot appear and drive a car in this promotion video.
And, my best favorite song is...Flavor Of Life -Ballard Version-. I love this song. Because I sympathize with this song's words and this song's music is wonderful!!

＊my favorite song＊

My favorite her song is "SWEET 19 BLUES". She released this single in August, 21 1996. She sings about 19's feeling. 19 years is the borderline of adult and child. They are impatient about reality. So this song strikes a chord with many young people. And I am one of the young people. Also sound is very nice. This song is covered by Miriya Kato in 2008. This single's title is "19 memories". This song strikes a chord with many young people too.
