I doubt this. "Brilliant" means something much different from "Brillante", I'm sure Ayu looked into the differences before she chose the name.

But the meaning of "brilliant" (in english) and "brillante" (in spanish) is the same, so we could expect anything from this song!

I'm spanish and i want her to say 1 or 2 words in spanish (that could make me laught) but I prefer the song to be GOOD instead of in spanish!

Maybe its the best song of the album, but maybe is the worst. We will know all these answers on 31/8. Lets be patient!

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

yeah, brilliant and brillante mean the same lol

[koumori]

Brilliant is usually used to mean "good" etc, its meaning has changed; brillante still holds its original meaning in most cases if my friend is correct.

EDIT: I guess what I'm trying to say is that "brillante" is more used to mean 'grandeur', but it also could be Ayu just being more impressed by how it's pronounced.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

yep, I think brilliant lost its initial meaning in English, now as you said they use it as "good" or "smart" talking about somebody.

In Spanish it can mean that but also "bright", shiny, radiant, glowing, or even "diamond", so

But in spanish "brillante" can also mean "good". Él tiene una idea brillante. (he has a brilliant idea). So I think the meaning is the same,

What really matters is that the song should be good!! XD. This title has lots of discussion!! We all hope it's a good song! haha.

Why? I want more, they stand out. Especially GREEN. Lady Dynamite wasn't as good but still really fun. And I like seeing gaythemed videos that are not completely sexualized and only for shock value a la "look, two guys making out!!!"

This. I love GREEN and it's thematic ties to Days - both videos show a reality that cannot be achieved by the persona (lack of a better word) Ayu is portraying. I also agree over Lady Dynamite just being a fun video in a different vein to her other fun videos. I feel the video would get much less crap thrown at it if it was a regular nightclub, which is really disheartening.

It's not like they're "gay themed" either, I'd put GREEN in the same category as Days, part of Me and maybe even BALLAD as an "unreachable love" video.

I second this.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

that is... odd lol

I hope ayu didn't just google it like that! xD

[Kazeyomi]

Ugh it would be italian as well actually it would be the same for every language with latin roots though lol.

Anyway it's the song I'm looking forward the most really can't wait.

I think Ayu named song Brillante instead of Brilliant because.... Oh, don't you know this song, Mirrocle World? Step you? You do. You got the anserw xD

I don't think so, because BRILLANTE is not a typo or a voluntary mistake, but REAL world that exists.
It would be about something either smart/clever or shiny/sparkling.

[Kazeyomi]

I think she use BRILLANTE because it sounded exotic to her lol.

[jiarongisme]

"Brillante" is actually a music term too, where a certain piece of music is played with brilliance and bright manner. I'm kinda expecting this song to be quite grand-sounding. And maybe with a strong orchestral backing.

[Fenio]

with BRILLANTE she will make a ~Kana Nishino~ ??? *o*!!! I will love it!
