Ayu's song titles in japanese
 

I just was curious about that 9.9?

something like:

+ (more than) = Ijou / purasu
1 LOVE = 1 AI / 1 KOI
A Song is born = Kyoku ga umareru / Uta ga umareru
And then = Soshitara
ANGEL'S SONG = TENSHI NO UTA
AUDIENCE = OkYAKUSAN
Beautiful Day = Utsukushii Hi
BLUE BIRD = AOI TORI
Close to you = Kimi no soba ni
Dolls = Ningyou
Endless sorrow = Owaranai fukou
End of the World = Sekai no Owari / Chikyuu no Owari
everlasting dream = hateshinai yume / taemanai yume
evolution = shinka / hatten)
forgiveness = yurushi / yousha
Free & Easy = Rairai Rakuraku
FRIEND = TOMODACHI
GAME = GEEMU
GUILTY = YAMASHII
Hana = Hana (...)
HANABI = HANABI (lol)
HAPPY ENDING = kOUFUKU NA KETSUMATSU
Heartplace = Shinjyo
HEAVEN = TEN / TENGOKU
HOE or PAIN = KITAI soretomo ITAMI
I am... = Watashi wa.... / Atashi wa... (in formal form)
INSPIRE = INSUPIPREESHON O ATAERU
independent = jishuteki
JEWEL = HOSEKI
July 1st = Shichigatsu Tsuitachi
Liar = Usotsuki
LOVE ~Destiny~ = Ai ~Unmei~
MY ALL = WATASHI NO SUBETE
my name's WOMEN = boku no namae wa ONNA-TACHI
Marionette = Marionetto
Not yet = Mada mada
ourselves = watashi-tachi jishin
Present = Okurimono
RAINBOW = NIJI
rainy day = ame no hi
Real me = Honshoku
SEASONS = KISETSU
Secret = Himitsu
too late = ososugiru
Trust = Shinrai
UNITE! = HITOTSU NI SHIMASU
until that Day = sono hi Made...
Voyage = Tabi
WE WISH = BOKU-TACHI GA NEGAU
YOU = KIMI / ANATA (is she felt formal)


plz help me with some more n__n

I believe threads like this where created before.

YOU = kimi (or "anata" is she felt formal)
HANABI = HANABI (:P)
I am... = watashi wa.... (?, or "atashi wa..." in formal form)
Dolls = Ningyou (though I don't know the plural)
GAME = GEEMU
1 LOVE = 1 AI (or "1 KOI")
Secret = Himitsu

Here's my two cents:

Secret= himitsu
Rainbow = niji
Friend = tomodachi
Heaven = tengoku
Liar = usotsuki (?)

^There's no plural in Japanese.
So it's just ningyou :P

LOVE ~Destiny~ - Ai ~Unmei~
Endless sorrow - Owaranai fukou
RAINBOW - Niji
MY ALL - watashi no subete
GUILTY - Yamashii
Marionette - Marionetto
BLUE BIRD - aoi tori
HEAVEN - ten
Liar - usotsuki
rainy day - ame no hi
forgiveness - kaiyou (not sure)

Thanks for these!!

thanks I will add them to the first post =D

I translated some:

Real me: 本当な僕 Hontou na Boku
everlasting dream: きえない夢 Kienai Yume
WE WISH: 僕達が願う Boku-tachi ga Negau
Heartplace: 心所 Shinjyo
July 1st: 七月一日 Shichigatsu Tsuitachi
Voyage: 旅 Tabi
SEASONS: 季節 Kisetsu
my name's WOMEN: 僕の名前は女達 Boku no Namae wa Onna-tachi
HAPPY ENDING: 幸せな終わり Shiawase na Owari

Boku would be Watashi, Atashi, etc.

^thanks !

adding some more (:

Jewel = Hoseki

I would say yurushi or yousha before kaiyou.
許し・赦し〜ゆるし〜Yurushi
容赦〜ようしゃ〜Yousha

Both have meaning of forgiveness or mercy sort of thing..
Kaiyou, first meaning of it I thought was... "oceans? >_>"
海洋〜かいよう〜Oceans.
although there is kanji that can be said Kaiyou to mean mercy or forgiveness,
I would suggest to not confuse it. Ahaha.

Real Me: I think 本色 is best. Honshoku. It means The Real Me, Real Colour. Etc.
everlasting dream: (I'm so sorry to correct you -o- ~Matt~)果てしない夢(hateshinai yume)、or 絶え間ない夢(Taemanai Yume)、both which mean endless or everlasting dream.
Free & Easy: 磊々落々(rairai rakuraku)。LOL actually I had to look up if it truly meant free & easy, or did I imagine it, but it does.
Independent: 自主的(Jishuteki) or Independent in katakana.
End of the World: 世界の終わり(Sekai no owari)・地球の終わり(chikyuu no owari)。
And then: そしたら (Soshitara)
Too Late: 遅すぎる (Ososugiru)
Audience: お客さん〜(Okyakusan)
A Song is Born: 曲が生まれる(Kyoku ga umareru)。歌が生まれる(Uta ga umareru)。
Close to you: 君のそばに、君の近くに。

and there's much more~
I think they are sounding better in english! LOL
Okyakusan or Ososugiru or Rairai Rakuraku sound so lame!

not sure if these are right but i got them from an english to japanese dictionary

evolution - shinka (or hatten)
UNITE! - HITOTSU NI SHIMASU
ourselves - watashi-tachi jishin
INSPIRE - INSUPIPREESHON O ATAERU

青い空 （Ａｏｉ Ｓｏｒａ） means "blue sky". "Blue bird" would be 青い鳥 （Ａｏｉ Ｔｏｒｉ）.

ＬＩＭＩＴ - 制限 （Ｓｅｉｇｅｎ）
ＨＯＰＥ ｏｒ ＰＡＩＮ - 期待それとも痛み （Ｋｉｔａｉ Ｓｏｒｅｔｏｍｏ Ｉｔａｍｉ）
＋ （ｍｏｒｅ ｔｈａｎ） - 以上 （Ｉｊｏｕ）
Ｐｒｅｓｅｎｔ - 贈り物 （Ｏｋｕｒｉｍｏｎｏ）
Ｔｒｕｓｔ - 信頼 （Ｓｈｉｎｒａｉ）

Those are the simple ones. I did them using a dictionary which means that they might not be true at all. x_x

Would "Beautiful Day" be "utsukushii no hi?"

That's about all I can pull out of the air. :laugh

I would think it's "素晴らしいな日" "subarashii na hi". Utsukushii is used more to describe tangible objects I believe.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I think I am on the grammar haha.

I think there's a site that has like all of her titles in Japanese.

http://www.ii-park.net/~surf_romance...u/meaning.html

All of them until MY STORY / CAROLS.

In both those two, な(Na) and の(No) are incorrect...
since すばらしい(Subarashii) and うつくしい(Utsukushii) are adjective,
Na and No are not needed... they could be added right before the noun.
In either way, it could make sense... but subarashii does mean "Wonderful"
And in basically, Utsukushii means beautiful. Anything beautiful..
雨は美しいでしょう〜(Ame ha utsukushii deshou~)~ The rain is beautiful, right?~
Even abstract thoughts... you could see in Hanabi Episode 2, where she is saying..
思い出はそう美しいままそっとかぎかけしまっておこう。
Omoide wa sou utsukushii mama sotto kagi kake shimatte okou.
I will lock those thoughts away quietly in their beautiful ways.

-_- I become such a lecture... maybe I should be a teacher LOL

But any which one you wanna to use is fine!

You are absolutely right about the happy ending..
Since she were talking about that happy ending you find in a book, or story,
幸福な結末 (koufuku na ketsumatsu~) is more appropriate I believe.

You got it right about Not Yet, you should say it mada mada.

Startin', also in the right track... it will be maybe...
I don't know really what Startin' means...
If it means, "I am starting," then you could say... hajimaridasu.
unless she is starting something, which then would be hajimedasu.
So confusing!!! ahhh. LOL

Fated~ this one is tricky, right?
You could say... unmei no koto. Or you could become more abstract about that...
And say Akai ito, which means the red string, or more abstract,
Connected by Fate.
I am sorry that I can't make such coherent suggestions... T T

ahh what did I miss?

well I will re-edit my post again 9.9U

@_@~

kanariya = kanariya

I was confused about LOVEppears title, too, until the opening lines to "appears" hit me - two lovers, seemingly happy, walk hand in hand [...] but only they know the truth.

Wow maikaru thx for that one! ^^

Really? I never would've guessed!!!! :D

Have fun with alterna! lol

It means that ayu made the words herself... I looked up 造語 (zougo) in the dictionary,
And it means in english "coined."
So there's no actual words or phrase like that in japanese so it's hard to make a connection from the english one to japanese one.
I dont know that song at all... I hated vogue, so I didnt listen to that single..
Ever free is that one on the single, right?
So maybe it is about forever sleep or so... I dont know...
Just the title doesn't give such impression. LOL sorry!!

and yeah, apparently LOVEPPEARS means that..
that it is the thing that appears in love, but it could or could not be...
Like that song, appears!~ which was stated already~

I always thought 'canary' was カナリー in katakana. I must be wrong bcz Ayu has it as kanariya（カナリヤ）

Ka-na-ri-ya doesn't sound right when compared to カナリー to me. :/

LOL.

This is really interesting!

Some sort of Latin. :o~

AND THEN = Sore kara
Secret = Himitsu

Hahahaha XD

About "kanariya".

In the lyrics Ayu sings
So, I always assumed it was about the bird "canarie" (because there are also birds shown in the PV) but that Ayu changed the title from "canarie" into "kanariya". or something like that.

I could be wrong though.

i thought that Kisetsu = Miracle

WOW...VERY USEfull~
is that official song name in japanese?

Miracle is "kiseki" （奇跡）.

Kisetsu = SEASON(S)...

And the birds are called canaries [singular: canary]~ D:

such an interesting thread, thanks

acccording to the Japanese wikipedia in Japanese they call the canaries "kanaria" (カナリア) AND also "kanariya" (カナリヤ)

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/カナリア

SURREAL=超現実　（Chogenjitsu）ちょうげんじつ

Also~　Yes, カナリヤ has two spellings. Both カナリヤ and カナリア are correct (since people mostly say them the same...)

This is really interesting. I wish I can contribute though. :(

LOL! It'll be fun. HAHA

i like how I am... sounds in japanese
and also JEWEL, RAINBOW & SEASONS
