Just like a siren you lured me
With your inviting smile
So I took you in my arms and then
Just as I leaned in to kiss you
You pulled away from me
Pushed away my arms and left me longing

I just don’t know why
You make me feel this way or
If you’re getting me
Will you let me fall?
How you change your mind
Is like the sky that’s clear and
Bright til the rain starts pouring down

Yes or no?
I’ve seen it
But can I believe it?
Heaven in your perfect tempting smile
Why’d you keep me waiting?
Tell me, tell me, lady
Cos I just don’t understand it
It’s the last straw
You’re teasing
I don’t have to be this
Fool who plays your cruel games anymore
Take away your cheating
Guessing games, I’m beaten
I’m no longer knocking at your door

Spurned for the last time I stood up
And went to walk away
Thinking I had had enough of you, but
Then you were pulling me back and
You held me, crying
Wanting me to stay

I just don’t know why
You think I like the way that
You are testing me
It drive me crazy
Looking in your eyes
I don’t know what to think
I’m dizzy from the way
You change so fast

Yes or no?
I’ve seen it
But can I believe it?
Torture in your gentle teary eyes
Why’d you keep on changing?
Tell me, tell me, lady
I really can’t read you at all, girl
It’s the last straw
You’re selfish
Nothing but an actress
I don’t have to care if you will cry
No, I didn’t mean that
Please, I take it all back
Come on baby, I don’t want to fight

I don’t know why
Do you love me?
I don’t know why
Do you love me?
I don’t know why
Do you hate me?
Baby, baby… oh tell me why

Yes or no
I’ve seen it
But can I believe it?
Can I really love a girl like you?
Why can’t you just face me?
Tell me, tell me, lady
I will never understand you
It’s the last straw
It’s over
This time I am so sure
I don’t wanna hear it anymore
This isn’t the way that
Love is meant to play out
Tricks and traps have no place in true love

I saw right through your lie
While pretending to believe
Facing you in the darkest
deep midnight
The air was cold and tense
and tasted of deceit
So ashamed, you had turned your face from me

Why do I feel like holding you closely
drying your tears after all you’ve done?
Our hearts are a million miles away but
somehow they’ll never part

Cos of you
I know there’s only one reason why
Cos of you
It just a part of me I can’t deny
Cos of you
Though it’s illogical, it makes no sense
I can’t fight it
No, I just can’t deny
All the lies and excuses you carried with you
Now that they are gone it’s easy to see through you
Cos of you
I gave my heart and soul
And now it’s all in pieces
Yes, it’s all because of you

We used to shine so bright
Our love was like the sun
Memories never darken deep inside
I never knew the name
Of the flowers that you grew
But they were just like me, cos

You loved them
Gently
Gave them all the care that
They could ever need
Now they’re dying
Slowly
Wilting
Thirsty
Now you’re not there to love them

Cos of you
Even if this is the way we’ll stay
Cos of you
Even if I’m gonna wither away
Cos of you
I’ll still remember the brightest of days
So amazing
Our love was truly amazing
And now I have come to a empty existence
Any faith or hope I ever had you took with you
Cos of you
Those flowers that you left will never bloom again
And it’s all because of you

In the nights ahead when you are sleeping
Will you dream of times gone past?
Will you toss and turn and wake to find that
My shadow’s over your heart?

Cos of you
I know there’s only one reason why
Cos of you
It just a part of me I can’t deny
Cos of you
Though it’s illogical, no it just makes no sense
I can’t fight it
No, I just can’t deny
All the lies and excuses you carried with you
Now that they are gone it’s easy to see through you
Cos of you
I gave my heart and soul
And now it’s all in pieces
Yes, it’s all just…

Cos of you
Even if this is the way we’ll stay
Cos of you
Even if I’m gonna wither away
Cos of you
I’ll still remember the brightest of days
So amazing
Our love was truly amazing
And now I have come to a empty existence
Any faith or hope I ever had you took with you
Cos of you
Those flowers that you left will never bloom again
And it’s all because of you

1) w-inds – Super Lover (Take 2) – 18382 downloads

2) Gackt – Oasis – 12333 downloads

3) w-inds – Izayoi no Tsuki – 896 downloads

It’s a surprise to us, because we assumed our most popular English versions would be of Ayu songs! I guess a lot of our visitors are w-inds fans. Also, it’s nice to know that our version of “Oasis” is well liked, since we’re particularly proud of that one (*^_^*)

At the end of this year we will check the numbers to see what 2011′s most popular downloads were.

(Rap not included)
I’m taken over by all of my doubts and
I can’t even remember who I am
There are days when I can’t go on
But I gotta try
I really wanna find myself
I keep searching for miracle
Oh but I know the only way to find it
Is to reach into my heart right now

Purple line, let me set up my world
Taking a step where no one has walked this way
Making all my dreams real
I will find the way I gotta live on every day
Just being who I am, my progression
leads me to believe that I can’t fail
A passion for victory
keeps me focused on, following the purple line

Whenever all my problems plague me
My mind can’t help going crazy
Although I admit that I’m afraid
I won’t run away

Cos if this is what it will take to
give my strength a chance to grow
Then I’ll embrace all that comes at me
Shouting: “Is that all you got?” right now

Purple line, let me set up my world
Taking a step where no one has walked this way
Wishing in my own heart
I will find the future that awaits me every day
Just winning what I can, my progression
leads me to believe that I can’t fail
The truth of all my dreams
keeps me focused on, following the purple line

In my heart the clock is on countdown
Every moment moves with its own sound
Like a story it unfolds and I don’t know the end
Each day is more vital than the day before it
It’s there I see before my eyes
And I will reach the prize
Oh-oh

(Rap not included)

Ooh!
In spite of all black and white
Shadow and light, or south side, north side
Good and evil smile
Calling me to choose like there are only two ways
I can go my own way
Taking more than one thing I want
We got our “purple” like that
My time is still going on

Purple line, let me set up my world
Taking a step where no one has walked this way
Making all my dreams real
I will find the way I gotta live on every day
Just being who I am, my progression
leads me to believe that I can’t fail
A passion for victory
keeps me focused on, following the purple line

Purple line, let me set up my world
Taking a step where no one has walked this way
Wishing in my own heart
I will find the future that awaits me every day
Just winning what I can, my progression
leads me to believe that I can’t fail
The truth of all my dreams
keeps me focused on, following the purple line

Ayu must be visiting Europe! Whether it’s a publicity trip, a meet-and-greet, or video shooting, it’s definitely something to be excited about if you live in Europe. When she visited London she was greeted by many fans from Europe who had travelled to England especially to see her, so now she knows that she has a fan-base in Europe.

We are one step closer to getting an Ayu concert tour in Europe! Yay!

Yes, I know it’s afternoon
And the sun is shining in on me
While I am lying here in bed
If only days would flow
Just as I have planned them out to go
But they like to defy all my plans

If I cannot see you today
I’ll stay right here
And sleep the day away
Tomorrow and all the days beyond it
I’ll paint your picture
Inside all the dreams that I stay for

I want to bloom in the sun
Sturdy and never to fade
I want to sway in the gaze
That in my dreams shines upon me
Now my heart, oh, how it aches
About to break
With all the pain inside it
If this love is to be unrequited
At least let… me wilt away!

I can’t smile any more
Even in my dreams you answer with
Rejection like reality
Beyond the window
I imagine what the real you
Is doing and just where you are now

Some days I wander through the street
Holding a bird cage
With nothing contained
It was for you I kept the cage door open
But it’s no use
It makes no difference how long I search for

Though the blue wind flying free
Threatens to lead me astray
I will not cease after you
You, who I chase, captivated
Now the sky, so full of blue
Endlessly blue
Bends down to cover me
As I stand here beneath its splendour
I look for… a sign of you

Like a flower…
Like a flower…

Scattering seeds on the hill that you love
I will bring flowers to bloom
And they will be a bed for me
Until you come up to wake me
Hurry come and find me here
Yes, find me here
For this is where I’m waiting
So long I’ve longed
To see your face when I awake

I want to bloom in the sun
Sturdy and never to fade
I want to sway in the gaze
That in my dreams shines upon me
Now my heart, oh, how it aches
About to break
With all the pain inside it
If this love is to be unrequited
At least let… me wilt away!

No more will these tears fall
No more sadness will rule
I will cross over all of the memories
For there will be another dawn

Gently I let our story close
But if someday it must go on
There’ll be a single page
That throughout all our days
I know no words could e’er belong

No more tears for today
No more running away
Always here with me, that precious dream
That I no longer want to fade
The glow of the stardust
Bestows light upon me
I close up tight my former heart
And let it end within that glow
Because tomorrow there will be
A brand new me, born anew

Every wish I had
They’d all been granted me
Here into my hand
Piece by piece, but
When it all had changed
There’s one treasure that stayed the same
By a hidden force
There seemed no reason why, but
You and I were drawn
To eachother
And within my soul
Warmth pervaded till it overflowed

The breeze of Spring carves
Into my heart memories made with you
The days that we spent
Lasted through the seasons
So perfectly I could not
Believe that they would ever end
No matter how bright
May the sky be tomorrow
I can’t be with you any more joyful Summers
Taken from us by the far rolling waves
Our dreams have been carried away

When the morning came
After a night in your arms
Just another day
There was waiting
And back to the same mundane lives I hated to return
If there was to be
And end to this old world
You would be with me
Far beyond it
And in that belief long ago I used to be so firm

On Autumn nights
When I close my eyes to the world
I relive them
Memories of you
And those glorious seasons
Filled with the tenderness and
The pain that never will disappear
And thoughts of the words
That I spoke without kindness
And times that you cried
When I was the reason
The final memory remaining of you
In the snow were those Winter tears

So I cannot forget four seasons we’ve lived in
So I cannot forget four seasons we’ve lived in

So I cannot forget four seasons we’ve lived in
Now I must pass through again those seasons alone

So I cannot forget four seasons we’ve lived in

The breeze of Spring carves
Into my heart memories made with you
The days that we spent
Lasted through the seasons
So perfectly I could not
Believe that they would ever end
No matter how bright
May the sky be tomorrow
I can’t be with you any more joyful Summers
Taken from us by the far rolling waves
Our dreams have been carried away
