Hamasaki Ayumi: Guilty - decision

As true as the song title 'decision', 'decision' is a song about the 'decision' that Ayumi made when she was young and she will never regret this 'decision' of hers. It's clear that there's no return on this 'decision' as this is what Ayumi decided and she can see this future. Therefore, whatever she may face on this road, Ayumi will walk on with her chin up without looking back nor running away. Not everyone will understand how tough this road of hers is. All she has to do is remain as herself and actions speak louder than words. This is also why Ayumi said that words are sometimes so powerless. Don't ask Ayumi if she's right or wrong. You have to make the judgment yourself. Whatever ‘decision’ you made, don’t look back look forward.

多くを語りすぎてしまえば 真実はぼやけてしまう
言葉は時にとても無力で 想いを邪魔してしまうから
ooku wo katari sugite shimaeba shinjitsu wa boyake te shimau
kotoba wa toki ni totemo muryoku de omoi wo jama shite shimau kara
If we tell too much
The truth becomes blurred
Because words are sometimes so powerless
And disturb our thoughts


ねえ 正しい方のかなんで
ねえ どうか聞かないでいて
nee tadashii kata no kana n de
nee douka kikanai de ite
You see? Please don't ask me
You see? If I was right


そう僕は行く この先が例えこんなにも 理不尽な場所だったとしても
僕はもう僕であり続けるしかないことが 君の胸に悲しく響こうとも
sou boku wa iku kono saki ga tatoe konna ni mo rifujin na basho datta toshite mo
boku wa mou boku de ari tsudukeru shika nai koto ga
kimi no mune ni kanashiku hibikou tomo
Yes, I go
Whatever unreasonable place may be waiting for me
And even if it may sound sadly to your heart
That I'll just have to remain myself


幼き僕が選んだ道は 二度とは引き返せない道
あれは最初で最後の覚悟 遠くで未来が叫んでた
osanaki boku ga eranda michi wa nidoto wa hikikaesenai michi
are wa saisho de saigo no kakugo tooku de mirai ga sakendeta
The road I chose when I was young
Was that of no turning back
That was the first and the last resolution
The future was yelling in the distance


ねえ あの日の僕がほら
ねえ 背中で頷いている
nee ano hi no boku ga hora
nee senaka de unazuite iru
You see? I on the day
You see? Is nodding behind me


そう僕は行く振り返らずに 逃げ出さずに 顔を上げて歩いていくんだ
僕はもう僕であり続けるしかないことを 君はいつか分かってくれるだろう
sou boku wa iku furikaerazu ni nigedasazu ni kao wo agete aruite iku n da
boku wa mou boku de ari tsudukeru shika nai koto wo
kimi wa itsuka wakatte kureru darou
Yes, I go
I walk on with my chin up without looking back nor running away
Some day you will understand
That I'll just have to remain myself


強い向かい風が 吹いている
冷たさが やけに肌に染みてくる
凍えそうに悴む手を今 真っ直ぐに向こう側に 伸ばすんだ
tsuyoi mukai kaze ga fuite iru
tsumeta sa ga yake ni hada ni shimite kuru
kogoe sou ni kajikamute wo ima massugu ni mukougawa ni nobasu n da
The wind is blowing strongly against me
The cold is piercing me unusually
Now I reach out straight and forward
With my hand numbed with freezing cold


そう僕は行く この先が例えこんなにも 理不尽な場所だったとしても
僕はもう僕であり続けるしかないことを 僕自身が受け止めなきゃならない
sou boku wa iku kono saki ga tatoe konna ni mo rifujin na basho datta toshite mo
boku wa mou boku de ari tsudukeru shika nai koto wo boku jishin ga uketome nakya nara nai
Yes, I go
Whatever unreasonable place may be waiting for me
I must accept myself
That I'll just have to remain myself
