Interesting observation on L single.
I know L is 50 in Roman numerals

Well, for the meaning of it, I had few possible answers to it.

LETHAL
LOVING
Letter

I didn't think of this at all XD But yup, now that you point it out, it's really seeming that it would be what it means (^_^)

.... yeah, because AVEX and Ayu TOTALLY aren't intelligent enough to know that the letter "L" also means "50" (something a lot of people on this forum and probably others had known) and just happened to use it out of all the rest of the 23 letters of the alphabet she hasn't used yet for the 50th single title.

L is 50.... wow, why didn't I see that before? But on the other hand, it MUST stand for my name, since it's released on my birthday. *activate delusion mode*

I think it's a very clever title, 50th single = L meaning 50 in roman numerals.

I do have to say, I hope that L does not also stand for Love. That would be too cheesy... and she's already done songs/albums with LOVE in the title.

who knows maybe her next single will be titled " ◊ " -- which happens to be the symbol for soap according to alechemy. maybe she will even title another single as
" A/S " which is the abreviation of "Aktieselskab, the Danish name for a stock-based corporation. (AVEX TRAX)
I actually do think they chose it specifically because it is Roman Numeral 50.

It's either 50 or Love, since it has to be something really obvious. A and H were both obvious, so she wouldn't just pick a random word like "lonely" for L. It might be "Left" for her left ear, but I doubt it.

At this point I'm really curious for the 3 song titles!!

I never understand why you come into the Ayu threads anymore, all you do is talk down on her like she's an idiot. Personally I don't think it's a coincidence that this single is called "L" and it just happens to be her 50th single, I'm sure she planned it this way.

this is good too but it depends on what alphabet do you use for reference (for example the english and italian ones are different, the it one doesn't include letters like j or k) but it could be.. L for 12th anniversary and L for 50th single yay

assuming ayu doesn't speak italian, and doesn't happen to know the italian alphabet. I think it's safe to assume she is going with the English alphabet.

The meaning of 'L'

Hi guys, I searched but couldn't find anything similar.

I wanted to know if other people had picked up on anything to do with the meaning of 'L'.

One thing I wanted to point out (sorry if it's already been mentioned) is that L is the roman numeral for 50. seeing as this is her 50th single, I thought this must be part of the reason for the choice.

Does anybody else have any more insight into the choice of L?

It probably just IS the roman numeral meaning 50, but it could stand for anything!

Ayu is quite passionate about:

Life
Love
Lady
Language

That's all I have for now. haha
