At first, I am.
I just realize that BRILLANTE is differ from Brilliant after... 1 month after the announcement of the album :innocent

i hope BRILLANTE helps increase the album sales!!

I think BRILLANTE is going to be one of those songs that Western fans love. I doubt she will use that song to promote FIVE at all.

Anyone who live in Japan, please steal this poster on any shop T__T

FIVE is a great release from her as usual to me.
BRILLANTE and progress made my day and the PVs are quite well too.
Spotlight to beloved and BRILLANTE

you're not crazy, I think (miss) and Duty are the most cohesive albums of her. Followed by RAINBOW.

lol I was so excited about BRILLANTE yesterday, my bf had to calm down me :laugh
now I can't wait to see PVs.

BRILLANTE is the song of this year imo.

Out of 4 other songs she released this year, that's not saying a whole lot. Lol.

^ I didn't mean only ayu's songs. It's the best I've heard from all the new stuff which was released this year ;)

Let's hope the next release has something upbeat and happy. This mini album seems a bit dark (trying to learn lyrics!) and sad in its overall tone. Still excited though!

I still want a CM to be officially teased even more. HAHAH! this is so ridiculous on avex's part. SERIOUSLY!

Lets make BRILLANTE trend on twitter!!

#BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE #BRILLANTE

haha let's spam Tim and Ayu to show our gratitude and etc. :D I think ayu will be happy to see it (only if she doesn't mind that it leaked XD)

"How did you all manage to get a hold of it so early?" is what I imagine them to say if we did that at this point, lol.

I just listened to the album, it is excellent. I can't wait for my physical copy to get here!

Haha well Timmy already know we've heard it~ He thanked everyone for our 'kind comments' yesterday :laugh

^I know! he said it early too. I had barely listened to the song lol

we just spammed the crap out when the song leaked lol

^^ Haha but then I love that he also tweeted "Please show your support for Ayu and make sure you buy FIVE when it's released - with the videos AND the makings, it's really worth it!" after thanking everyone...He probably figured out we heard the leaked version :laugh

What's meaning word of 'BRILLANTE' ???
What is it?

I can not get translate 'BRILLANTE' to my language, Indonesian.
There is NOT on dictionary.com!
Can somebody help me ???

#I LOVE 'BRILLANTE' song XD)

Mirror + miracle + World = Mirorcle World

BRILLIANT --> BRILLANTE ???

0__o ???

What is it?
Ayu's world (hamasaki republic) language again ???
#giggle#

BRILLANTE is italian and also spanish!

the meaning is bright, brilliant etc...

Huh? Is the collab in the hidden track not Juno but Naoya?

Sadly, yes.

Whoa... Why... feat. JUNO, and now, Why... feat. URATA NAOYA??? Let's try this...

I really love this album, wait for my country version to come out with my language subtitle in the making of ^^

Sadly, Brillante is

Bril`lan´te
adv. 1. (Mus.) In a gay, showy, and sparkling style :innocent

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/brillante

I dunno about that...

Well, that explains a lot. lol

I want to know what's being said in the chants now.

brillante = brilliant

Stop pushing the gay thing lol

It's better than Lady Dynamite anyway lol

I think beloved PV is the present for those in Ayumi Project Under The Same Sky T_T
Cant stop crying now~ T_T
Love you, ayu!!!!

And gay in this context means "Brightly colored; showy; brilliant"

Who said that this is her worst album???
FIVE is AMAZING *____* I love every single track in it ans also the pv's (except for the progress one). It' s a great mini album!! Couldn't expect more!
Ayu is a GODDESS!!

I've got a question. How do you pronounce BRILLANTE correctly? Because have no idea about neither Italian nor Spanish pronunciation ^^'

BREE (like from breeze) LAN/LU+N (like from lust) TE (like hand in Japanese)

^ Thank you so much! And where do I put the stress?

BREE YAN TE in Spanish.

CDJapan still has my copy of FIVE in shipping process >.< This will be the first Ayu album I've pre ordered that I'll recieve late O.O

I think BRILLANTE shot my excitement up considerably :P

LAN is more like LHAN (LEEAN) . u dont have that english sound... but we have it in portuguese, italian and spanish

BREE LEEAN TE.

They don't update shipping process status until Monday.

As far as I can recall it from my spanish lessons, more like this --> BRILL + YAN + TE.

shiseido that's the form to pronounce brillante!

I think that FIVE is just amazing,I love all the songs especially beloved.~ ♥ Is such a sweet and precious album.

Ditto!! :yes

i feel the same way.. all five songs have very different type of music. that's why i love this album. even though all the songs are not arranged in epic music arrangement, but still i love how easy listening of some songs (in this ANother song and beloved)

Then I should expect a change this afternoon when it's Monday in Japan and still Sunday in my area... if I have that right. Makes me even more excited!

In italian is easier!
You have to read it as it's written!
It's simple...BRILLANTE, with double L!

http://translate.google.it/#it|en|brillante%0A
Play the sound XD

I personally say it with a French accent... someone should ask her on Twitter.

^Some Japanese fan did before, I think she wrote that it was pronounced "burirante" romanized from Japanese

My friends say it sounds like Latin. Actually, I never studied it so I can't say anything ç_ç

Made a progress Instrumental for those who wanna singalong :)
did it to my best effort..so..enjoy! ^^

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...27#post2744127

^ thanks freedreamer for sharing! =))

i studied latin last year but i can't understand anything xD but i saw on twitter something related with good bye

We should ask to Tim!

Yeah someone heard them chanting good bye in both german and polish.

I'm not toally superexcited over this album. I'm totally in love with progress and BRILLANTE. They are pretty much 10/10 for me. But the other songs... Why... is quite good. Maybe a 7/10. Beloved is very much so-so (imo). It's simple and nice but not really my coup of tea. 4/10 And ANother Song is REALLY not my coup of tea! Nothing, really nothing exciting happends in that song. It's not really happening alot between the bridge and the chours. Well... 3/10. Beloved orchestra version is not better than the original version so no big change.

And I feel totally trolled with the hidden track.... I'm really not enjoying that "thing" at all.

For me, this album contains two and ½ truly freaky-crazy-ass-amazing songs but the others are nothing speciall at all. I will probably skip all of them but progress, BRILLANTE and Why...

Naturally, please don't get offended anyone! I just expressed my oppinions and I'm not forcing anyone to think the same. I'm actually really happy to see so many of you pleased with this album! :D That's great for Ayu! ^^ I'm just picky. :P And I'm stilling living on the thrill after the Rock 'n' Roll Circus album so it's hard for any following album to follow that. xD

So I did hear "dasvidania!" I know it's good-bye in russian but polish and russian have some similar words. xD

But it's just in the ending I think they say different stuff on the beginning/choruses

Today at a-nation Ayu stated that ANother song is really important to her and she started to almost cry just talking about it... so there's some type of importance attached to it for her... *shrug* She held herself back from crying during the performance as well

Reli? your post makes me want to read the lyric translation~~and makes me appreciate the song~~maybe I should give "ANother song" a chance~~ :yes

^^Really? How cute is that? :heart

So it should be Italian .__. Spanish should be "buriyante" and I don't actually know how they write the French version in katakana... maybe "buriranto"? ò_O

so...that makes me love a bit more ANother song :)

The "official" way to read the title is, accoring to Ayu, is Burirante, just to clarify.

Nor really.. she say "burirante" just because she's Japanese and it's difficult for her to say just "brillante", which is the official way to read it :D

Yes, but its her song, so the way she wants it to be pronounced thats the correct way. :D
And if you know the phonetic alphabet it is /brɪlʌnte/ according to what she meant with the word.

I will not start using the engrish way to say her songs names just cuz she does xD

No buruu buradu or suupakuru for me xD

I think Why feat Urata it's a real lack of respect to Juno, why make the same song with the other feat guy?!?!?!?! the worst HT ever :(

Yeah, I agree that it feels like a little bit of a disrespect to JUNO. It's Ayu's song of course, but it just doesn't rub me the right way. It reminds me of Fergie giving Kuu That Ain't Cool as a (birthday?) present or something and then singing 95% of the song lol.

She doesn't want it to be pronounced like that, she just can't pronounce it correctly. ^^; She also say "puroguresu" for progress, "shikuretto" for secret, "baraado" for BALLAD but we don't pronounce it like that ^^

She actually prounces her song and album titles quite correctly. I find your post to be incredibly insulting and conceding to Japanese ESL speakers.

I didn't want to be insulting.. I was just explaining the Japanese way to read foreign words. Yes, Ayu's English is quite good, but still she pronounce her title songs in engrish 'cause it's easier to understand in Japan. ^^;;

Poor Mami-chan. There was nothing insulting or condescending (I think that's the word he was looking for with "conceding") about your post. I dunno what he's overreacting about.

I find your post correcting me to be incredibly condescending to dyslexics.

^ lol

is this really that important how to pronounce it? I say BREE-LA-NTE, i don't care with the rest cause I'm mostly talking with Ayu fans by writing...

English speaking natives always have such funny problems with pronounciation :D

I feel very ashamed, I LOVE remix of Why. It gives me goosebumps -_-

I love Ayu's engrish, its amazing. :)

wooot? :O I speak Russian and I didn't hear that! Need to listen to it once more!

And I think "good bye" in Polish is "do widzenia", not "do svidania" ;)

That's why she should use japanese symbols instead of ENGRISH, because it sounds and it looks dumb if you can't pronounce your own songs' titles correctly.

We say do vidjenja here which is similar to what Polish people say then and I didn't here that. I am pretty sure I can here Adios though.

"Correctly?"

I think that's just the way that they pronounce English titles because they're Japanese and don't speak English fluently. It doesn't really make it any less correct imo though.

And as for Why... with Urata, does it count as a remix if it's probably the original Why...?

Instead of Engrish people should think about it as a form of Japanese slang.

well, it's sort of difficult...cause there's a way that, I guess, spanish speakers move their tongues...and the LLs come out like a y/j...

lol I find it very difficult to perfectly mimic if you arent a native speaker.

idk why her title pronunciations are so important...

I'm surprised that people don't realize that BRILLANTE is an actual word... this isn't a Greatful or Mirrorcle going on here, lol.

BS... if it's not japanese nor english, of course it's a word she made up!

:P

Has anyone seen these? They are previews of the booklet scans!! :heart

oh but @njan: I'm glad you said that...cause I think the whole "Japanese slang" isn't really identified with enough for us overseas people.

If its spanish, for your sake take a look: brillante [breel-lyahn’-tay]

Yeah haven't we had this discussion on what BRILLANTE means over and over and over again? My goodness. We have pages and pages of discussion on it in the old news threads.
