weird title
 

Anyone know the meaning of these titles? because it makes me confused
1. Walking proud = walking proudly?
2. Everywhere nowhere
3. Heartplace = Place for heart?
:tipsy

1. Yes you are correct!
2. After you read the lyric, you'll understand what's 'everywhere nowhere'
3. I don't understand it either

I think Heartplace might mean a place where your heart belongs, like to a person - something or somewhere you belong/fit in. The lyrics suggest that she's trying to find that place or person. That's how I interpret the song.

I agree with Hanabi chick on Heartplace... The song is about freedom... It's one of my favs!

What's wrong with Walking proud? seems good to me...

Yeah, walking proud seems normal as you can read the lyrics it is stated that "to walk like you..." or sort of thing

One of the most confusing lyric for me is WHATEVER and vogue
As I try to interpret I got all confused with it

Vogue is fashion or style. I think Hamasaki might have been using it as "beauty" when talking about the person the song is about. It could have even been about how she felt maybe her career and she was in style and how it might just end quietly.

With WHATEVER I think we get the impression that it's like "Okay, yeah yeah whatever." But it might be something along the lines of, "whatever might happen..."

How about ' end roll ' n 'momentum' ?

the only songs that I don't really understand the meaning of are.



Humming 7/4
kiss o'kill
Memorial address

end roll is a refrence to the ending credits? when she wrote that she thought her career was going to end soon (or had reached it's end?). i think someone else can elborate on that.

momentum is movement, hamasaki talks alot about the paths we are on and walking them. i think when she says in the song "my love for you is my last courage," it's like her love and the courage are letting her move. she's got momentum? i hope i explained that right.

and ' a song is born '? it mean one song is born or Ayumi song is born? ^^;

o__o; The song title for A song is born... I think just means... Look! A song is born.

I dunno. CS? =/

a song is born was a tribute to the 9-11 attack...that might be partly the name reason

memorial address was also rumoured to be her 'last' album, so the 'address', or speech, so it's supposed to be memorable (hence, memorial address)

haha!! this is a very interesting thread!!! it enlightened me about ayu's song titles and its lyrics.. :D

Humming, i think she means "24/7" as in all the time... cos she says she'll keep on humming or something like that in the song....

and kiss o' kill is kiss or kill i'd say, lyrics:

The more you pretend to be strong, I see your weakness
The more you bare your fangs, I see your pain
You can be yourself, I'll accept you
You don't have to be afraid, because I know you
We shed tears as if we were laughing
And laugh as if we were crying

(the last chorus)...

so it's like she's saying "kiss (fix...) [what we have] or kill(it)"

Never understand Humming 7/4 myself

I always thought is was like: Kiss or kill

Memoriall Address: a name to remember or something... an address to remember

Yeah, the song is about her Grandmother's death. A memorial is something in memory of someone or something. Someone else on here kept saying it was about her farthers death but from what I've heard we know nothing about her father and it's presumed he's still alive?

Just look at the lyrics and you can tell it's not about her grandmother. They were supposedly very close, so I DEFINITELY tend to do with the dad theory. But only Ayu knows for sure.

Humming 7/4 ... isn't that a time signature?

what about HANABI, is it a japanese? what the word 'HANABI' means in english?
