LOVEppears title track

Does anyone know what the official title track of LOVEppears is? Is it one or the other or is it assumed to be both LOVE ~Destiny~/~refrain~ and appears?

Judging from what Ayu said about the title, I'd say "appears" is more like the "official" title track, although there really isn't one, obviously.

"The title "LOVEppears" has two meanings to it, 'thing that seems like love' and 'discrepancy between what we see and what's really there.' ... Before starting my trip to New York for the Jacket photo shoot, when I looked out the window from inside the car, there was a couple that looked SO happy, but I personally was thinking, maybe they're in the middle of a serious crisis. Or maybe they're actually talking about separating. So I thought of the meaning 'Seems to be' for the word 'appears' and stuck it on there. We give ourselves certain outward appearances and images, trying to make it look like things are good or bad, whatever we want to show people, but really things aren't as we're showing."

That's from the LOVEppears beatfreak interview. REALLY rough translation, but you get the gist of it.

Hm... so interesting o.o. Thank you for the quote.

Oh that's really cool! Thanks for that!

oh that's so cool....wonder if those two people will ever know they were the muse for ayu XD

Very interesting. Thanks zero :).

I would think it's "appears" simply because it was released in conjunction with the album. (Nearly identical covers and all)

i thought so too, reading from the appears lyrics, it seem to be saying the same thing

Interesting article!
Thanks for sharing Deli!

Thanks :) So the title has nothing to do with LOVE ~Destiny~?

^ Nah, LOVE ~Destiny~ itself is already a single track. Besides, it's not even in the album. :P

Thanks deli!

LOVE ~refrain~ was on the album though, so it would have been a possibility. But the plot of the LOVE songs doesn't really match up with the idea Ayu was trying to convey.

for me it's Love Appears

WoOOoo. Deli really have much more knowledge than us.

I think that the LOVEppears title track is "appears", though it could be either.

I never really thought about it! I guessed that appears was the title track simply because the cover for the single was close to the album cover! xD
