Great song, but the title was copied from the sweetbox's one! And it doesn't make sense to the lyrics... other than sounding/looking cool.

4) girlish
The song isn't even about girls!

5) Are You Wake Up?
LOL.
Whoa, theres a song by Ayu called "+" ? I thought I heard all her songs before...but I def haven't heard of "+" lol.

I'm just writing the songs that doesn't make sense to me

1) In the corner. what the fock does the title has to do with the song? ¬¬?

2) Never ever

3) Alterna (i'm still unsure if this is a latin word, i hope someone can clear this up)

4) Will (will what?)

5) immature

And about Step you, Mai (i think it was Maikaru) explained that step you is a game word. Somehow step and ayumi can be written or interpreted the same way in japanese, so when ayu says "step you" that means also "ayumi you"

make sense
1. Fairyland as beauty as the PV
2. NEXT LEVEL the title drawed by the song and PV
3. Endless sorrow
love the lyric and cover
4. Daybreak HAL's mix
it's the best wake up song ever... it always give me new spirit in the morning to fight

Non sense
1. Trauma
the title likes very emo and depress but it's totally different. she always sing happily
2. Mirrorcle world
still doesnt get the connection of the song and PV
3. humming 7/4 dunno what that mean
4. for my dear...
in my mind this song should be sweet because for my dear so it must be the best but the song sounds sad

Trauma - The song is about passing by bad situations and getting stronger... surviving to traumas

alterna - in both portuguese and spanish, means "alterno adj. alternating; alternate" in the feminine form... So, this means she is saying she is a "alternating person" maybe

will - will can means "wish"

FRIEND II - she explain why "friend 2" on asfxx interviews

Replace - She is leaving and replacing her with a song^^

Forgiveness - well... it's a song about forgiveness xD first "Sometimes/ We make/ Terrible mistakes" and then "Maybe everyone did so to protect love"

HANABI - hanabi means "fireworks", in Japan fireworks are very common in the end of summer^^ And the song as she said once, is meant to have a "end of summer sad feeling" (there may be something more specific about the use of the fireworks, but I don't know very much is aspect of japanese people)

heartplace - It's a song about searching for your heartplace, if I'm not wrong

free & easy - I think here again she is singing about wanting something, this time, about being free & easy "Sometimes I ask myself, how much farther will I have to go?"

=)

Never got the boys & girls thing either...

Oh yeah Humming 7/4's 7/4 represents the 7/4 time signature the song was composed to.

I just didn't like it cos the song sucks. Omg I'm biased.

No sense:

Humming 7/4(doesnt the song begin as 3/4 and then change to 4/4? or am i thinking about another song? maybe it humming 3/4(first part)+4/4(last part)? xD)

much sense:
alterna
(if you are afraid of change, then stay at a distance)
NEXT LEVEL
(We start to move for the next stage
We keep on walking
On this endless, straight road
We keep on shining)

rollin'
(The world is rolling around at the speed of rebirth)
GREEN is the color of hope
(The brilliant trees standing in the cool air
Are losing the colors as if hiding themselves)

identity
(It's not important how I'm viewed
What I need is how I should be)

Rule
(I don't need the Rules
Decided by someone else
Because we are the Rules
I can't give way in that matter)

LOVE 'n' HATE
(Just because I love you
It would be the best way for me to disappear
If I could hate you
I would rather be better off)

Pieces of SEVEN
(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,0, the relationship with Nagase lasted 7 years)
Days is describing a "normal" day for her in some parts i think
(I want to see you, I want to see you
I want to hear your voice at least
And I sometimes call you with no special reason)

Curtain Call
(the curtain in the PV, its also a good ending song from the lyrics)
Mirrorcle World
(all the questions shes asking describe a weird future, a "mirrorcle" world, horrible and fantastic at the same time)
Life describes that even if something happens in your life, the life around you will just go on like nothing happened
(The city is active again today
As if nothing had happened)

(don't)Leave me Alone, the last two lines are the shortest way to say it
(Leave me alone now
But don't leave me alone)

talkin' 2 myself
(Listen to the voice in your heart)
decision
(You see? Please don't ask me
You see? If I was right

The road I chose when I was young
Was that of no turning back)

GUILTY
Ayu doesn't want to say why she's guilty or what she's guilty of, but she thinks it will chase her forever
fated
(Do you believe in fate?)

Ill stop now...I think youll know by now that I think most of her songtitles make MUCH sense

lol I didn't know either!

I only found out after watching Countdown Live 2007-2008, because she performs it there

and then I bought the RAINBOW album and I was surprised to hear that song after Independent!

^ P.S.II stands for POWDER SNOW II, if I am not mistaken, hence the same melody in both songs

I think alterna means "choice" in spanish, I think. So it might makes sense
I can't really think of any titles that weren't already mentioned, but especially free & easy is one that makes no sense at all

Well she named the song Humming 7/4 because thats how she was inspired to write it.... she was HUMMING a tune that was in time signature 7/4. i remember she talked about it in an interview.....

But some that make sense are HAPPY ENDING, (don't) Leave me alone & HANABI ~Episode II~

Some that dont are Free & Easy, HANABI, & July 1st

Heartplace makes sense, but its not a real word....

Theory on Humming 7/4:
People have said about the time signature that it's in 3/4 and 4/4.
So a little simple maths: 4 + 3 = 7.

STEP you: She sings STEP you in the choruses. But STEP you makes me think of dance steps. And the song is pretty dance-y.
Also the lyrics make sense with the STEP you part, but I can't articulate. Sorry!

+ means plus, so it's just a bonus song.

girlish is about girls and just having fun. Think Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper.

In The Corner doesn't make sense partly because it's the melodies that Ayumi liked, refer to Sweetboxes lyrics for meaning?

That's it for now.
