Well, that actually isn't what singles are for. Singles are usually created to promote song for the albums. In japanese music scene, the singles usually comes before an album in order to give a preview of what the album will feature. In US, singles are usually released in order to promote a certain popular song of the album, and provide extra features like remixes and an instrumental track (a lot of them seem to be album cuts).

I'm really glad it was none of those. I don't quite dig (miss)understood that much, but it was better than yuck Freedom or CARNIVAL

[Brittany]

Reminds me of .. Kelly Clarkson

[Ayane]

The title is not what I expected from Ayu....

Aww, I'm late to chime in, but I'll add my $.02.

I know I'm beating a partially dead horse, but I also thought of P!nk's album "M!ssundaztood" (great album btw) when I saw the title. It's just. . . I really can't see it as an Ayu title. "STEP you," "fairyland," and "Bold & Delicious" weren't totally out there, but "(Miss) Understood" is poor. Perhaps the lyrics of the album will support the title. Even "Bold & Delicious" is a more fitting album title, lol.

^my name's WOMEN was totally out there though. I still don't understand why it wouldn't be an ayu title? She created things like LOVEppears, she loves to make those sorts of playing around with english words. Be it poor or not, ayu is not a native english speaker like probably a lot of people have created a false image that she actually is fluent. Bold & Delicious, Free & Easy sound really weird, Heartplace, as a word, doesn't really exist. Ayu loves to create titles like that, which makes it indeed an ayu title, as worse as it might sound.
What I would not consider to be an ayu title would be swearing/cursing, titles written in japanese words, or very long titles like the ones Britney Spears had for most of her songs at the beginning of her career.

I still think "my name's WOMEN" is a typo, hehe. I didn't think of "Free & Easy," "LOVEppears," and "Heartplace" as being odd. In fact I think they're very creative, especially "LOVEppears."

For some reason it really hurts to say "(miss) understood." Honest. The only other time I've cringed at a title was Britney Spears' "I'm A Slave 4 U" because I also don't like numbers and shorthand (you = u) in song titles.

yep I don't like numbers and letters either, which is why I hope the rumoured tracklist out there is fake since it actually has a songwith "4".

Well now I can't wait to see the covers

[Echiko]

wow..ayu's going crazy. XDD That's a REALLY strange title.

[R@INBOW]

Well about the title, I believe ayumi got a reason to use (miss) understood and I think we should wait for her explanation before saying it's boring, unoriginial, etc.

[Raleigh]

Probably it shall be explained in some magazine when she does her photoshoots ^_^

i hope so!

[Ryoko]

It is a very Ayu-ish title, I think, and I hope the booklet and cover contain pictures of her with black hair. The Vivi photoshoot was really really nice, even some of those pictures would be great in the album. Oh yes, the photobook as well! I forgot about that. I wonder if she's done the photoshoot already?

Cli... ché. :-/ She's such a burikko now.

Probably the photoshoot is already done but you never know... guess we must wait and see.

[drewbilation]

I don't hate the title, but I think Ayu could've come up with something a little more originalblahblahblah~~
