I'm not striking you down, it's just that it doesn't seem too plausible now. I'm sure before her I am... era she might have had helped from a translator, but as for now, I think she's getting it on her own...

The other thing we can consider in these titles is the capitalization. How would she decide the "STEP" in "STEP you", or the "LOVE" in "is this LOVE?", or keep it with "independent", or "No way to say"? All with translations?
You do make a very good point.

I guess our little Ayu knows English a whole lot more than we think?

brilliant!!!!

I think Shunkan for Moments is good. THo shunkan is "moment" or so o.o

Maybe these can be added to the first post But Ningyoutachi? I thought Ningyou was mermaid.

LOL. I read the title wrong, too. I thought it wanted us to translate them into katakana then write it in romanji. XD Like...(I dunno...) ブルーバード=buluu baado=BLUE BIRD. XD

I always thought she just takes a Japanese to English dictionary and chooses words that match meanings that she's trying to get across..

[and probably she also just makes them up sometimes [STEP you.. D:?]

Far away - Tooi

I learned "Sore kara" as "And then".

And I'm not too sure about the "tooi", cause by itself it does mean "far", but is there a way to make it "Far away", as like "tooi tokoro" or such? >.<

Endless sorrow... I was thinking something with "Owaranai", so like "Owaranai kanashimi"?

And as for nouns, by itself it could be plural. Plus, I don't think you'd use "watashi", so it could be "Namae wa ONNA". :/

I wondered about the "away", too. Well "tokoro" could be an option. (Like in "ever free".)

Well, in some cases there's no right or wrong, I think. "Owaranai kanashimi" would be right, as would be "Eien no kanashimi".
I tried to stay true to the English that's why I added "watashi no" and "-TACHI". I feel both of them to be rather necessary, because "namae wa ONNA" could mean "my name's WOMAN", "our name's WOMEN" etc.

"to" is "and". I'm not sure how to say "or" the best in Japanese, but ayu likes to use "soretomo", so maybe "KIBOU soretomo ITAMI"?

PAIN is ITAMI? I see.
Hmm, I think "or" is "ka"?
KIBOU ka ITAMI?

^Yes, "pain" is "itami". You can also use "kurushimi", but that is quite often translated as "suffering".
And if you use "ka", you have to use it with both words, as far as I know. So it would be "KIBOU ka ITAMI ka". I think "ka ... ka" translates to "either... or", but I'm not sure.
