I don't know the meaning of it, but just so you know it's supposed to be pronounced

Ura = Tadashi Ura. He did all the illustration in the book, the dragon on the special edition cover, the speech baloons, the special effects & editing, all that. He does alot of ayu illustration & effects (the drawing-look on the vogue cover, all the TeamAyu magazine covers, the cartoony-looking ayus in the Concert Tour 2000 pamphlet, all that sort of stuff.)

And of course ayu = Ayumi Hamasaki. ^_^

LOL... Oh, stop.

I will admit, this stuff gives me one heck of an ego boost... then I realize WHY I know all this stuff (that is, I have no life :P~) and I wonder if there's a paying job for crazy insane ayu fanatics x_x

that would be so cool if they do. for now on when I have a question I should just put "A Question for Delirium-Zer0" at the top Lol.its really true like what immel says your words are law.

Uraayu literally means "Inside Ayu"
but my interpretation is that the "Ura" part is MatsuURA max, while ayu is AYUmi.

so it is could be a combination of max matsuura and ayumi hamasaki.

^It was shot in Hong Kong.

Could be a pun there then. But tadashi ura DID do the illustration, and the kanji used is the same kanji as his name.

I think the MatsuURA is a coincidence, possibly they noticed it before the release and just thought it made the name even better.

I remembered URAAYU means 裏歩 which means 'inside' ayu as extepan said.
I remember think this was introduce by the media during the release of the photobook.

I was told by a Japanese friend that it means "The other side of Ayu" because I wasn't quite sure what the "ura" meant either. As in, it's a side of Ayu that we hadn't seen before or that she wanted to show.

"The other side of Ayu", that's how I remember it being explained at the time as well.
