so.. your explaination of why the title (miss)understood doesn't make sense is because others have used the same wordplay before?.. now THAT doesn't make sense :p

the title (miss)understood is very logical, considering the lyrics. It's about people thinking that they're treating her right, but in fact she just smiles and says "yea, Im alright", while she actually isn't. It's about that people missunderstand her as a person..

I think all Ayu titles make sense. Even humming 7/4 (ok maybe not the 7/4-part, but humming.. it's a song you can easily hum along to). +, since it's a bonus song. Life, since it's a light song that talks about life and it's ups and downs. Poker face, since she is often laughing on the outside, but actually wanting to cry. So you can't see through her pokerface (she even says: my true personality is disappearing!). (don't)leave me alone is ALL about that she wants someone to get lost, but in the end she actually doesn't want him/her to abandon her. Girlish talks about that she doesn't want to think about stuff too much, she just wants to be happy and be in the here and now. so she wants to stay a girl.

yea.. ayu wouldn't use a title if it didn't make sense... Although in some songs, it may be difficult to trace back the original idea (catcher in the light, for instance)
