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.

Scary? I thought it was so funny like how her expression was so constipated and like she's saying/thinking "wtf?!"...

Anyway, back on topic: I just remembered that the song titles are definitely thought by Ayu... I mean Are You Wake Up?/Greatful days; Engrish titles as such... yeah it's Ayu.

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 love the title in RAINBOW too~

its so illusionic and surreal... i love it~ (actually i love the word "illusion" very much )

and some of the title, is the word suits the lyrics?

can someone gives an example? IMO i didnt see the connection alot of time except some of them like voyage, seasons etc

^I think that every songtitle connects to the lyrics in some way. I at least haven't found one where it isn't possible to draw a connection so far. Though at times it might only be apparent with extra informations from ayu herself.
Sometimes the titles even add an image that the song wouldn't have otherwise. Like "talkin' 2 myself" and "Mirror" for example.
