is this true? - Page 2

I think SEPIA implies something about the song that we don't get otherwise.... the color is usually used to make something look or feel older (like an old movie), which makes the song seem more nostalgic. There's no feeling of reminiscence we get from the lyrics on their own, although the title implies that the sadness might be in the past and is still going today. It's kind of a stretch, though, compared to the obvious implications of "SEPIA". "BLISS" Would have been a very interesting and ironic title for M though, don't you think?

I think UNITE! 's title used to be Survivor. I stumbled upon this a long time ago and wonder what happened to the Survivor single, but then I saw this thread and I think I know what happened. i got this from Hamasaki Republic http://www.hamasaki-republic.org/news_0501.shtml

i think it was a fan made title
i prefer the real one
except for the theme of a-nation 03 - precious summer is pretty nice too. but from i know
precious summer is the title of the them of a-nation 04 and it isn't ayu that sing the song

The only songs i can tell you had titles that were changed were "M" (Originally "BLISS", confirmed by avex as a new single released and then the title changed) and "Endless sorrow" (changed from "SEPIA" because shela had a single of the same name being released around the same time).

oh wow i didnt know that, SEPIA is a kool song title and i also relli love endless sorrow as well! so i dun mind, whereas "M" i'd much prefer "Bliss" instead

ame-no-koe: UNITE! was always UNITE!, 'Survivor' was just a rumored song title that showed up a bit before that. Although, UNITE! did go through some transformations. have you ever noticed the vocals in the bridge are different in EVERY remix on the single? They're all using an earlier vocal track, ayu decided to switch two lines at the last minute. Also, four of the remixes used to have different names, which are reflected on the promo cassette of the single.

No, i just used frequent clubayu.com, back when it existed (later i ran the site when webmaster Censations lost interest)

I dont' think i'd remember alot of this old news if i hadn't just had NO LIFE back in 2001, when i was at the peak of my ayu fandom...

That and I... well... STILL have no life.

I doubt that's true. They're probably just rumor titles that were made before teh songs came out. Where did you hear about this?

I always thought that Ayu's Dearest song was similar to the song Dream Away by Babyface and Lisa Steinfeld (sp?). It could just sound the same to me, but I always wondered if Ayu heard the song before because one of her favorite singers is Babyface, and he sang in Dream Away.

As for a note on the other songs like M and Endless sorrow: That's pretty interesting!

Jennie Mae: unfortunately the info isn't anywhere now, but "BLISS" was at several ordering sites and then removed completely, then put back up as "M" a bit later. "SEPIA" also, and I read an old news article about it at not the official avex site, but one that only has official info... like oricon or something, or maybe yesasia cuz this was back when they had more news articles there. I think a few older ayu fans can probably back me up on both.

'Survivor' is fan-made just like 'Immaculate', 'SURROUND' etc.

And I can back Zer0 up on "SEPIA", I'm pretty sure cdjapan listed it before the title was changed. Considering they also confirmed the 2CD 'A Best' until Avex changed their mind to cut it down to 1CD.

I'm pretty sure you're right.
