I wonder how it came to that number. Google has a lot of weird algorithms... it does the same lowish numbers for most Japanese artists. Utada has "29", Namie has "17".

Was looking up some old links and found this again! It's so weird that she did an English interview for a Japanese site during A ONE but it was so nice seeing some of the insights officially like that. Now if only they did that more often or even did interviews at all lately...

What does the album's title, “A ONE”, mean?
ayu: The word “one" implies starting from scratch, uniqueness, a sense of self, and at the moment what I would call my best.
This is what I eventually arrived at. All those aspects are there.
This album is the result of a long process of whittling down from a much wider selection of songs I wrote. The cream of the crop, if you like!
