Are You Wake Up is the title, the title is engrish

To be correct it would be Are You Awake but that would not go to the music and dosent sound good

Luckily it's only an interlude. She doesen't have a lot of engrish other than that has she? STEP you is the only other example I can think of, and it's really not that grave. In Real Me it was alright and also in Heartplace.

yeah Are you Wake Up was a weird title because I'm not sure what they mean... Are You Awake is the biggest possible scenerio... but the Engrish is funny!

i like STEP you title, it is so creative it needs interpretation, i think the idea was "next step: you" but it was so lon... "STEP you" is more simple

I think STEP you refers to like...the steps of loving and getting to know someone. You could say it's talking about human relationships in general.

ROFL when I read "next step: you" hahahaha kudos to you slowmoth
it's like some kind of horrible pick up line from hell hhahahah

I thought she just meant stepping on you. Like instead of 'damn you' or 'f... you', she'd say 'step you' i.e. wishing that somebody would step on that person as a form of punishment.

Are you wake up? is a mistranslation/interpretation, Ayu has that on some songs like TO BE, which is a mistraslation/interpreation of "iroyo" supposed to be "was there" makes sense with the chorus of the song.

^"iro yo" or "iru yo"?

I've heard evolution cited as a mistranslation of "era" at least twice on AHS.

I wonder if that's what it was supposed to be, she just thought it'd be too [Ayu] original. I wonder...
