So yeah, I dunno if I believe that it's really supposed to spell out "HOPE."
The whole concept is 5 different views on something. And that is just what the album is. What these views are on is up for discussion but every song shows a different view on something loved, probably her fans. That's more concept than what the vast majority of pop albums have. And it IS a coherent release, not musically but lyrically and that's always the thing Ayu's albums have ben coherent in. (And the only way to make a 5 track EP musically coherent is by being boring and basically doing one genre for 5 songs or having random intros and outros to songs) They've always told stories, if the songs fit together musically came after that.
