"Letter" lyrics
Thanks to tokyoxjapanxfan for the kanji!!
Love this song, and now knowing the lyrics, I love it even more, esp the second set of verses, so so true!! I think this fits as a song for Max Matsuura more than Tell me why~ Or maybe both are for him.. ^^ Quote:

They do both sound like Max Matsuura-related tracks. The songs could probably also be interpreted as Mannie-ish too though imo. Thanks Misa-chan!

I think it's kind of because of the huge backlash he'd gone through on Twitter... so much that his Twitter is practically invisible now even though Ayu still follows it.

For me, it's mostly about the language patterns she uses, it's really casual, like talking to a close friend.
Also, the part which reads about characters in books groveling on the ground and snot dripping from their nose is very typical Japanese manga, so it just made me feel that this song was written for a friend of hers who understands the context, ie a Japanese. And both choruses just reminds me so much of Max's drunken tweet incidents. In S Cawa, she said that she wrote this song while on the plane to London, so it was around the time frame when that twitter war thing happened. She also said that she wrote this song together with "Return Road", and called it a strange combination. Since (imo) Return Road reeks of Mannie/divorce, what she said in S Cawa makes sense. Like, writing a song about your divorce, then the next one about your favorite boss would seem mighty strange. ^^; Anyways, it's all just my speculation, so do take with a pinch of salt.

Thank you for sharing. Its a nice lyric, and I agree that this one is for Max....somehow I felt the different feelings than the trilogy lyrics.

To me it seens to be the dark side of the party queen... someone who lonely drinks the night way and try to have fun for not worring about their own problems...

I don't care about Max... so prefer to think it's about Mannie

I thought her magazine interviewer guessed right and the letter was written to herself.

There was something that Letter was written after Return Road on the plane right??
some parts sound a bit funny lol..but i get the feeling. the opening gets to me the most. It's like speaking to an ex for sure |
