^I'm not a fan of odd time sigs... you can never go wrong with the old 4/4.

I had a horrible experience with a 5/4.

Why are people surprised? If it happens to be true, well, Ayu has been using technical terms in some of her last songs lately: Memorial adress, A Song for XX.

I highly doubt it is a date though.

Actually guys it's probablly a july 4th song. If in fact, it is even true. I just realized we are all assuming that this is going to be an actual song. It may be fake.

Why would she make a July 4th song? That doesn't make much sense lol She made July 1st because it is the day after June 30th, an important date to her. (That reminds me of the people who thinks the }{ single was made as a US independency commemoration just because of the song "independent" and "July 1st", which is completely nonsense imo LOL )

In june 30th she joins together with her best friends and they party all night (they probably go to a gay bar and get drunk LOL just kidding ) until the sun sets the next day, being the next day, July 1st. That's why she made the song.

Yep! Seems like she really goes to a gay bar on June 30th indeed O_o;;;; (being independent the song about her party with friends and July 1st the day after). I went to masa's site and read his article on the RAINBOW album and he talks about the "H" songs.

Quote:
As "independent" was made for the opening song of a baseball game broadcast on TV, it's thought to have been made in March, the earliest among the three songs. It was for the first time for her to make such a lively and speedy song. (Though the content of the lyrics is not so lively.) The intertwined sounds of the twin guitars like two gliders flying low charm me. As this song was bright and associated with summer, she had a plan to make a single with summer as its theme and wrote the other two. And I hear she did it in the quite short period between ARENA TOUR and OPEN AIR LIVE --- surprising.
    There are two usual summer events to me. One is the party held
  every year on June 30, the birthday of the owner of this bar (in Tokyo),
  when many old friends of mine I can't usually see gather here. To me,
  that is the one and only unhealthy night of the year, from June 30 to
  July 1st. (Laugh) ... (omission) ... And the other is the event of watching
  fireworks after gathering at the shop of my acquaintance near the sea
  in August every year ...                 ("Zappy" Aug. 2002)
  This article makes it clear why the second song is titled strangely as "July 1st." But the scene sung about in this song is not the party place at night but the sea in the daytime. Why? --- In fact, there was one more thing which lead her to make this song. In the interview of "Hamasaki Republic", she and the interviewer were talking as below, looking at a photo of the sea in a magazine.
  O: How do you think about the sentence? ("If it's fine tomorrow, let's
   go to the sea.")
  A: Nice. I'm glad to hear someone tell me so, for example. A family
   member or a friend or a boyfriend. Because if someone tell me so,
   I'm in his or her future. I'm in his or her tomorrow. I'm glad of that.
                             ("Hamasaki Republic")
  The sensitiveness of her heart to feel the human warmth in a commonplace sentence. Maybe the photo and the sentence remained in her memory then, and revived when she was going to make "July 1st", a song of friendship. When the two things which apparently have no relation but are substantially close link together, a poem is born. This is what many poets have related as their own experience of making poems, though she doesn't know it maybe. Her poetic quality is seen well here, too. It can be said that "July 1st" is the type of song she made for the first time as well as "independent." As she herself described it suitably as "though the lyrics are bright, there are some minor parts in the melody, but never lacking in released feelings", I think it's a beautiful song with a thread of sadness in the brightness.

Even with all the explanation I still don't understand that. I'm to silly to understand technical music stuff (I never even had any musical classes)
