I was hoping she'd improve her English due to constantly having to talk to him. But maybe we shouldn't expect so much from him, he is human after all.

This is what I really mean in my previous message. Not just the title, but also some implications.

I think Mannie can give ayu some new idea for her songs after marriage, ie the way to look at love and life.

From time to time, ayu has changed her view of love many times and it can be seen in her songs.

Yeah, I hope so, because the only way they can communicate very efficiently is to speak English - Ayu can speak Japanese and Mannie can speak German and Italian, but NOT vice versa...

Maybe Mannie should get Japanese lessons from a community college or so?

Well it will take years for him to learn Japanese, so yeah her perfecting her English would be way easier ^^

^^it's not like she needs lessons.

She needed lessons from Subaru just last year, when posing for RnRC tour interlude screens. I found that quite amusing.

From TA.

[AyumiAi]

i hope its like nothing we've ever heard yet

[RayJason]

this is rly off topic (everyone seems to get off topic a bit now),, but I wonder how mannie and ayu are doing right now, and what they are talking about hihi .

anyway, I hope this song sounds like Rule, i absolutely love Rule .

Why does she need help on titles... her titles are fine.

[Bad Wolf]

The only title I could think of that made me go "wat" was "my name's WOMEN" but that was years ago. /shrug Haven't noticed anything "wrong" with her titles at all, besides that... in fact I always thought her song titles were pretty clever or quite blunt: Liar, Hope or Pain?, like a doll, (don't) leave me alone...

She used WOMEN instead of WOMAN for a reason. She explained it in a TA article long long ago.

I thought the same. Other songs' title (before I listen) I don't understand is Bold & Delicious, Humming 7/4, flower garden, and +.

After listening B&D, I only partly understand. It is indeed BOLD with yayayaya gagagaga... but how Delicious? (Can someone explain to me, please?)

It is no doubt that ayu song title is very creative, e.g. "talkin' 2 myself" , "criminal", "don't look back", "sexy little things".. etc, but some of them are like myths before listening the song, e.g. "kiss o' kill", "Free&Easy", "November", etc..

Bold&Delicious was a title lifted directly from Sweetbox. So I don't think ayu herself had anything to do with that title.

People always go "WTF?!" at her titles, yet they always make sense once you hear the song.

[Bad Wolf]

Thank you very much, Misa-chan and truehappiness I figured she had a reason for it, but I never knew 'til now. And if I did before, then I forgot! Ah, my mind's fun.

eta: my guess about the song's title was spot on, too! It's fun when Ayu and I hivemind.

thanks Misa-chan and truehappiness!
