I've been thinking about ayu titles in Japanese, and I found something really cool. Lots of her recent titles, when put into Japanese, are actually the original English titles. Hard to explain in words, maybe the examples below will help. I did RnRC album~

Readings of the Japanese are given in (brackets)

Spoiler:
Rock'n'Roll Circus - ロックンロール.サーカス (RokkunRooru.Saakasu)

1. THE introduction - ぜ.イントロダクション (Ze.Intorodakushon)
2. Microphone - マイクロホン (Maikurohon)
3. Countdown - カウントダウン (KauntoDaun)
4. Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ - 夕焼け~愛は全て~ (Yuuyake ~Ai wa Subete~. another common word used is サンセット read as Sansetto)
5. BALLAD - バラッド (Baraddo)
6. Last Links - 最後のリンク (Saigo no Rinku)
7. montage - モンタージュ (Montaaju)
8. Don't look back - 見返るな (Mikaeruna)
9. Jump! - ジャンプ! (Janpu!)
10. Lady Dynamite - レディー.ダイナマイト (Ladii.Dainamaito)
11. Sexy little things - セクシー小物 (Sekushii Komono)
12. Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ - 朝焼け ~愛は全て~ (Asayake ~Ai wa Subete~. another common word used is サンライズ read as Sanraizu)
13. meaning of Love - 愛の意味 (Ai no Imi)
14. You were... - 君は... (Kimi wa...)
15. RED LINE ~for TA~ - レッドライン ~TAに~ (Reddo Lain ~TA ni~)


It's really cool, it's like she's becoming international with these titles that are identical in both Japanese and English!

That was fun, will do more if I'm bored later lol!!
