A ONE and CDL 2014-2015 covers

I'm not gonna lie to myself and believe that there's actually a meaning behind the title of this album. I mean, that's not going to make me feel less excited about it either.

Ayu usually doesn't lie about stuff like that. Like the LOVE/HOPE thing in FIVE.

Of course I hope someone do prove the real meaning behind the title. I'm just not buying the idea for now.

I hate the title but I think there's at least a little bit more meaning behind it than behind FIVE's title. I don't care what Ayu said. There is no way anyone or anything will ever convince me the "hope" contrivance was anything more than a last-minute afterthought. And even if it wasn't, which is totally was, it's still stupid because five and hope are in no way related or symbolic of each other otherwise. lmao

I'm sure she probably is just legit going for the "A ONE -> ALONE" thing. It is super cheesy but it is what it is.

5 was released 5 months after the tsunami, and this is where hope and 5 connect with it other... As people need hope to go through a major disaster that will affect them for years to come.

But I'm not surprised you didn't get that... Why do I always feel like I'm reading a post written by The Grinch everytime you reply a thread?

The way FIVE is designed, it's H<3PE.

As of right now, FIVE is the only logo she's had a hand in designing. It had to do with LOVE&HOPE post-tsunami. IMO, this is probably the most ignorant post you've made here...

I recognize that the TEXT on the cover is somehow supposed to look like the word "hope," but I don't believe for a second that she conceived the title "FIVE" with the MEANING of "hope" remotely in mind. At all. Like, I remember there even being an interview where she said she didn't know what to call it and Leslie Kee suggested "FIVE" literally because there were five tracks.

There was no magical symbolism behind the word until the typography/logo design came into play. Just because the title text can spell out "HOPE" if you look really closely doesn't mean the title is meaningful or that its "meaning" is any less an afterthought.

I'm not ignorant of the story behind the title. I just don't buy it.

is her hair forming the letter L in both CD ONLY and CD+Blu Ray cover? Lol
