She made her unofficial debut in 1999 with the album Craving, with her first official single, My Eyes, following in 2000. Understatement would appear to be a common theme with Fayray as she isn't particularly well-known outside Japan. Understated also describes her style, attitude and music, the latter of which focuses on the piano (an instrument she began learning at the age 4). Her soft tone and impressive lyrical skill is complemented by the delightfully sweet and occassionally stirring music she composes. Though she regularly turns out superb ballads, Fayray is not shy of the occassional upbeat song (or even remix), demonstrating a skill for songwriting across a wide range. An oft overlooked gem, Fayray is certainly one to please those who desire a more jazz-inspired laid back feel to their music.

FEEL
Fayray Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

泣きたいなら何処まで行く
悲しいならどうほほえむ
守りたい人はいますか
幸せは競うものじゃない
つながれたくさりちぎって
飛び立つ強さを持って
Believe meまだあきらめないで
振り向かずに前だけ見つめて

逆らえない流れもある
癒しきれない痛みもある
許せない人がいますか
憎しみは分けるものじゃない
答えのない問いを捨てて
築いた壁をやぶってfeel meもう
こわがらないで
君は君のまま前だけ見つめて

つながれたくさりちぎって
飛び立つ強さを持って

Believe meまだあきらめないで
君は君のまま今だけ見つめて
