[2004] "my name's WOMEN" title discussion
 
LOL I'm still intrigued with the name of the song. While I could just think it is some stupid engrish with no care for doing the proper correction, sometimes it also occurs that maybe the title was made that way mostly intentionally than wrong. First of is the fact that they use caps for the word WOMEN.

LOL I know she probably didn't read this text but by reading it it makes me more comfortable with that title since it was already used in an "correct" english text LOL: http://www.oglethorpe.edu/faculty/~j_bohart/Menotti.htm

perhaps they used women instead of woman to include all women as opposed to just ayu. or perhaps ayu feels that she is a part of all women. or something. pieces of women maybe? at any rate, women seems to include all instead of woman which only includes herself.

what's there to discuss? it's a horrible title that puts Greatful Days' engrish to shame ;) ;)

aiko_hoshi 1st November 2004 09:49 PM

the title makes me think she has like multiple personalities..who are all women o.O

lol i'm over it by now. at first i was like holy freakin hell whats up with that! but the song sounds incredible regardless of the title. and the more i think of it, the less of a deal it is to me. i can almost bet on it that the lyrics are going to have hte same message as "real me" just from the title. :shrug...and the song..i must say again ROCKS! i'm so excited. my faith in ayu has recently been renewed from taht utter dissapointment before when inspire was released. i believe in her now! :)

With the respect of "my name's woman'' = i am woman, i can safely draw the conclusion that my name's women = i am women... correct? ._.

In that case, i'm guessing by saying 'i am women' ayu's probably projecting herself as an idol or symbolism for women in general.

OUCH.

ayumi_pukka89 1st November 2004 10:05 PM

Oh, that wasn't directed towards you, it was a comment on the title.

The title pains me.

Ouch.

When I first saw the title, I was caught a bit off guard as well. It is a very strange title for an ayu song, but once I thought about it, it seems logical and it IS correct grammar. I think the meaning of the title is that she sees herself as being not just a single woman, but including herself with all women. It's highly possible the theme of lyrics will have to do with strong females and a very "girl power" oriented song. (I don't like using the term "girl power" because after the Spice Girls used it so much, it became stupid.)

wait..what?

oh ok that makes me feel better ^^;

Good. :)

bulmasman 1st November 2004 10:25 PM

yeh, i think with that title it includes all women. I am woman is too, well, self obsessed in a way for Ayu. To say that she is women is basically showing that although she's famous etc... she's still the same as all other women in the end.

maybe i'm reading too much into this though... evil medication ><

elepop 1st November 2004 10:33 PM

I have nothing to say about the song's title because i haven't read any translation of the song. I think that the lyrics will explain more about what is it about and why 'my name's WOMEN'. We'll have to wait.

Nu-NRG 1st November 2004 10:34 PM

my name's women....my name is women or my name means women? but that don't make any sense or
ayu have a strong feminism and want to let people know that she is a woman*
and can do anything(Real me?)and she represents all the women out there
or as aiko hoshi said...ayu have different "women" inside her like a multi personality
there a cute ayu....a drink and smoking going tothe bar ayu and a muiscian ayu?
x.x i dont know...

ayumi_pukka89 1st November 2004 10:43 PM

Maybe she's saying she's a woman and she's proud of it. xD
