The Pronunciation of Some Ayu Songs (Out Loud)
 

Okay, so this has been kind of bugging me for a while. o.e

First off, "A Song for XX". How do you say that out loud? "A song for double-x" or "A song for xx (Saying the two x's)" or what?

And now, "+". Do you say, "Plus"? I don't know!!

I can't think of anymore at the moment, lol.

1. A song for
2. Plus

^ I thought that "+" was meant to be said as "more than"? That's always how I've seen it written...

Oooohh, okay, thanks. (:
(How do you guys know that? x_X)

Whenever she had tv performance of A Song for XX, it is introduced as A Song for.
Also Album name for A Song for XX in CM is also A Song for.
Also, in Japanese, the xx is batsu batsu, which is like insert here in english.. you dont say batsu batsu, just insert the word, etc.

Yup, Maikaru is right, I've no idea about more than, but I think it fits.
independent more than sounds better than independent plus...but maybe someone Japanese can explain that. XD

But then what about +? :s

^ I think some people have confirmed it's called "More Than". But I just call it Plus because, well + = Plus xDD

I think that when RAINBOW's tracklist was first released, + wasn't a 'hidden track' and was instead listed as:
xx) independent
xx) more than

As the release came closer, "more than" was removed from the list and "independent" became "independent+"

:D

yup

+ = More than

:yes :yes :yes

I pronounce A Song For XX as either A Song For Ex-ex (LOL) or A Song For. I pronounce + as plus.

i never knew the + = more than part. that's new to me :roflmao

but was the tracklist released by fans or?? since the title changed from more than to +, the pronounction should be changed as well??

i knew that for "A song for" and "More than"
but i'm still wondering how do you pronounce Humming 7/4 ? "humming seven/four" or "humming seven quarters" ?

Heavenly, I just say Hummingu...but I'm guessing it's Humming Seven Four.

The CM would say A Song for.. so this should be the actual one.
but i always say a song for xx (pronouncing it as alphabet x )~

Humming 7/4 is technically pronounced "Humming yonbun no nana" which in english is "Humming seven-fourths"

the "more than" thing is unfounded. When the song was first heard on Ayu Ready, I remember people calling it "more than..." but i never saw that title in any official source. So I dunno.
