Reasons behind titles of songs? :o

[truehappiness]

Does anyone know if Ayu makes the titles to her songs after writing them? Or does she do them afterwards?

On another note, I wondered about how the songs get their melodies and sounds.. does Ayu write lyrics and have a general idea on how she wants it to sound? Or no?

I'm just wondering..
Zeo

i wonder too

I'm pretty sure she writes the lyrics to fit the melody. Then the title probably comes along after that.

I think she works in both ways. That's my guess.

I think it's probably a give and take sorta thing... it changes between thinking of the title first and then the lyrics. Creative-ness. Can't stay the same, ne?

My theory's always been she has a song, then she picks a word or phrase that she thinks would be a cool name and then breaks out her Japanese-English dictionary and slaps it all together and there ya go

I like how most of her titles can be interpreted different ways,specifically : M and CAROLS.

I am sure there is a reason behind every song she writes.
I am not sure if she writes to fit the melody.. unless she listens to the melody first and writes the lyrics.

Yup, i agree.

i remember reading from somewhere that she writes the lyrics first and then chooses the music to go with the melody she has in mind. i have no idea where i read it though

[ImpactBreaker]

I think it depends...sometimes she'll think of the title first, sometimes she'll work under a melody first and sometimes she'll work over the lyrics first. No need to follow an exact order at all.

she writes the lyrics, picks the melody (they give her 40 or 50) and then she forms the lyrics to fit with the music ^^ that's what i heard

but i dont know about title!
