Ayumi Hamasaki

If I write when I'm low, it will be a dark song, but I don't care. I want to be honest with myself at all times. ”

I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. I think I'd throw myself into whatever I'm doing now. It's not about abandoning what I was doing before, or giving up. It's about knowing that if I die tomorrow, I lived the way I wanted to. ”

I don't set goals. Like, that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes. ”

It sounds odd coming from me, but I realize what I say and how I look has a great impact. ”

I have trouble voicing my thoughts... I can't communicate very well that way. ”

I'd heard a lot of Asian people were rooting for me, but I had no idea. I was stunned. They were... impassioned, especially compared to Japan. I couldn't even have anticipated that kind of welcome. ”

I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams. I'm O.K. with that so long as my songs are my own. No one can take my songs away from me. ”

I don't have dreams. How can I say it? I myself am a dream. ”

I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams. ”

If there are rules and regulations, I can't help it, I want to break them. ”
