Does Ayu come up with song titles?
Well I was scrolling through my ipod when I begin wondering, does Ayu come up with the song titles, like Mirrorcle World, A Song for XX, etc. cause some titles are really unique~so does ayu make up the titles or there's a special person that does that?

Most likely, yes, since (like zoomzoom said) she writes the lyrics.
I once read someone's idea that she might have the title in Japanese and then looks up a translation of it in English and uses that. I'M NOT SAYING THAT THIS IS THE TRUTH! Someone once made an ASSUMPTION that that's what she does. Just to clarify so no one jumps down my throat.

I also think she comes up with them in English primarily, the words don't seem like something she'd find from a translation of a Japanese word/phrase. e.g. talkin' 2 myself, Together When..., Endless sorrow, etc. But, I guess we don't really know her exact method... someone should ask at her concert! haha.

She probably either writes the lyrics, then comes up with a title that fit them or she has an idea of a subject she wants to write about, writes down some possible titles and then write lyrics for it.
She could also get titles from the composers. They might call the track they've made something, before they pass it on to ayu and she could go with that title if she likes it. I think this might be the case for some of the interludes.

I think I read somewhere that she does come up with the titles. Sometimes she comes up with the title first, and sometimes she writes the lyrics first.

I think it depends .
Sometimes she can come up with the song title & then write the lyrics & vice versa I think

 but i think most probably the case will be like ayu write her feelings down in her diary or something ( perhaps a small notebook ) so that she can refer to her diary book for writing lyrics? ( i think most of the movie director did that.. ) or perhaps, she went around places to search for "lyrics feeling" to write lyrics ( like Hyde went to London to produce music.. )but i remember ayu said in a TV interview in CCTV, she says that her current mood = her current album, so i assume that she use her mood to write her lyrics?

if my English Teacher saw that(wad if she's a ayu fan.. lol), perhaps she'll ask us to do EL literature in class for artist  ( i hate literature -.- ) lol.PS sorry for the double post.

Omg these are the kind of questions that should be asked in the "Ask Ayu A Question" section in her concert encores...
Anyway, it's most likely that she thought of the lyrics herself. After all, Ayu is brushing up on her English, so it's of little wonder to me.

I'm quite sure ayu comes up with the titles herself. Whether she looks them up in a dictionary or not isn't really important, is it? And I still wonder why people say "Greatful days" is Engrish. It's a play on words - like "Mirrorcle World". I think that playing with words like this shows a rather high level of knowledge.
As for the titles for the intros and interludes ayu probably comes up with most of them, too. I don't know about her earlier albums, but I think that since "RAINBOW" (if not earlier) she picks them herself. Because the interludes started to have an image that fits into the album. For "RAINBOW" it was "everlasting dream", "taskinillusion" and "neverending dream".

^ I guess you are right. Greatful days is play on great+grateful. Interesting... okay my apologies for labeling Greatful days as Engrish...
Anyway, she must have came up with all her song titles, seeing as how her trademark total English + capitalization has already happened ever since A Song For XX.

^ Well, her nil Japanese titled songs (excluding Hana/HANABI/HANABI ~episode II~) are kind of like one of the things that made her stood out, am I right?
And some of these titles I find are really nice... like Moments, Liar, kiss o' kill etc
