a song for xx meaning

[sora2522]

wat does the xx in a song for xx mean? like, mi friend says it's about her dad, and i can see why, since he ran away...but if anybody REALLY knows wat it means...please tell mi

[Corybobory]

my guess is they have 2 kanji in their name ^^

I think it refers to various people. Not just one staple person. Or possibly even the listener.

[sora2522]

the only reason i suspect that it's about her dad is because if u look in the translations in the 2nd verse it sayz why are u here? why r u by my side? why r u running away?....any other ideas?

No, it is about her mother. She has stated so herself. Any new Ayumi fans should click on the link at the top of this page that says "Masa's translations" and read them.

Ayumi meant for the Xx part to be filled in with whosever name that you want. In Ayu's case though it was, A Song For Mother. One of the other reasons for the Xx though was that Ayumi was too afraid to directly say that it is about her Mother. Which is why a few years later, she changed some of the lyrics to what she originally intended. Originally in the song she always refers to "They". In the later performances of the song she changed all the "They"s to "You." Thus no longer being afraid to specifically pinpoint her Mother.

hmm there is many theories for this but I thought that the "XX" stood for "female" cause the chromosome stuff XY means male or the opposite something like that maybe?

[PickleCookies]

Ayumi's Song for Mother.

She made it "XX," so anyone can make it referencable to whomever they wish. It's like "..."

[elepop]

"XX" basically means to "x" person. Like example... "I did this for "x" reason."

In this case, I think the "XX" is refering to either her mother or father.

[Delirium-Zer0]

It's her mother. It's ABOUT what happened with her father, but the message is to her mother.

She said in an interview or one of those talks before performing that the song was titled XX so people could dedicate to whoever they wanted to when listening to it by replacing the XX with the person's last name and their given name.
Like .. "A Song for Bob Smith."

Like a variable! Yay for math - .-;;

Yeah, I remember her saying something like this.

no, u got it mixed...XX is male chromasone (sp?), XY is female

[Calico]

Actually, XX IS female, and XY is male. I'm pretty sure.

Anyway, I honestly didn't know that it was for her mother...just that the XX probably was a variable. I don't know why I didn't guess, though, seeing as how Ayu dedicates a lot of her songs to people she knows.

I wonder how her mother feels about that.

Oh, so it's kind of like she's telling her mother what happened with her father. That makes sense.

[sora2522]

^ but...wouldn't her mom already kno this info?? cuz her dad ran away from the mom...at least...i think that's wat happened....

[Yarumi]

Okay... yeah XX stands for female... and XY stands for male... the easiest way to remember that is that the man decides the sex of the baby... therefor he has to have 2 different variables


anyways... another question similar to the one asked first... are ayu and her mother on speaking terms? Whats her relationship to her? What happened... I have been a ayu fan for a long time, but I never understood about ayu's mother...

[Catzi]

I think I've read somewhere that she's on good terms with her mother. I'm not sure where.

[[AHS]MortalSex]

they´re on good terms ^^ haven´t u seen the backstage @ a-nation 2005 when she was walking with her mother laughing and smiling together =) well at least I hope they have a good relationship together

[jeffycue]

hahaha! this is crazy... i thought its was "A Song for ME".... hehehe... it makes sense though... two X for ME... ü
