Wow, cool thread
I'll go to translate her album titles into italian language.
A Song for XX: Una canzone per XX / Una canzone per uno sconosciuto
Literaly means A Song for XX. Una (A) canzone (song) per (for) XX. But it doesn't sound that good, so it would sound more nicer Una canzone per uno sconosciuto (A song for a stranger).
LOVEppears: AMOREappare
AMORE (love) appare (appears). Lol it sounds so lame and funny in italian language.
Duty: Dovere
Nothing strange here.
I am...: Io sono...
Io (I) am (sono).
RAINBOW: Arcobaleno
Aww it is adorable even in italian lol.
Memorial Address: Discorso commemorativo
This is hard to translate, but overall would be Discorso (Address) Commemorativo (Memorial). And it sounds better in english.
MY STORY: La mia storia.
La mia (MY) storia (story). Storia can be used as story and history both in italian.
(miss)understood: Signorina Incompresa / (in)compresa
If you count the word jokes with miss + misunderstood, would be Signorina (Miss) Incompresa (misunderstood). A really cute title imo, really 50s (during '50s/60s we used to call every famous girl, Signorina + what she's famous for. For example, the woman who announce tv programs during evening was called 'Signorina Buonasera' (Miss Good-evening). And we still use it, but not so often). But if you translate without the joke it's just incompresa (feminine for misunderstood).
Secret: Segreto.
It sounds nice
GUILTY: Colpevole
Another nice title
NEXT LEVEL: Prossimo Livello / Livello Superiore.
It means Prossimo (Next) Livello (Level). But it's used for videogames most, if you reach a new level. So Livello Superiore sounds better and it means what Ayu want to express with NL album. It means something new, something different and maybe better than before.
Rock 'n' Roll Circus: Circo Rock 'n' Roll.
Lol well, nothing changes from english version. Just the word Circus -> Circo.
Love songs: Canzoni (songs) d'amore (
of love)
_________
The songs that sounds more nice in italian, for me:
HOPE or PAIN: Speranza (Hope) o (or) Dolore (Pain).
blossom: bocciolo
MOON: Luna
Bridge to the Sky: Ponte (Bridge) verso (to) il (the) Cielo (Sky).
HEAVEN: Paradiso
JEWEL: Gioiello
Pride: Orgoglio
HONEY: Miele
Dolls: Bambole
Flower Garden: Giardino (Garden) Fiorito (Flower, but we use Fiore for flower itself)
lol sorry for the very long post
