a song for xx meaning

[Delirium-Zer0]

sora2522: it isn't "info" though, the song is "this is how i feel". Of course her mom knows her dad left.

And they are on good terms but it took awhile... ayu's mom has a store called hanabi that sells things like candlabras and windchimes and stained glass and stuff and they used some stuff from that store for the bedroom photoshoot in the MY STORY booklet

whoa, i never knew that! how'd you learn that!? is that tied to ayu's song hanabi at all or vice versa i wonder?

[Delirium-Zer0]

I actually don't know. From what i gathered, it opened up a little bit after the song was released, but i could have misread something. I heard alot about it in summer '02 but almost nothing afterwards! After alot of searching last week i found a picture of the storefront though. I saw the name of the store in the MY STORY credits when i was typing them up for my site, so i was like "omg the store is still around!!"... I remember thinking "hey ayu and her mom both have stores, MTRLG and hanabi ". Anyway, here's that picture... you can see a person working there and a fan on the wall behind them:

Yep, she changed it from mawari to anata for the A Ballads version. Also if you watch lives she has been saying anata instead of mawari since 2000.

I said all that in my post, here... it has a side-by-side comparison of the lyrics too:

anyone have a pic of ayu's mom from backstage 2005?? Or is that on the 2005 whole ayu performance I dl?? ^^;;; goes and looks

[Mad_Cactuar]

wow, all the information here is too much.. i didnt know Ayu's mother existed in the first place, i thought it was her grandmother.. and i didnt realise the lyrics change.. But why would she ask her mother "why are you running away?" though.

[Delirium-Zer0]

I think that's ayu asking herself why she's running away, and where she's trying to go. (It's hard to say really since it doesn't say "you" or "me" there, it just says "why running?").. then again she could be asking her mother why she avoids talking about what happened, why is she running away from it. And where does she plan on it getting her ("doko made hashiru no").

[Rebirthia]

reviving this thread, perhaps is for her parents, bith mother and father, because they divorced, and in Japan...

[...]by the way. "batsu-ichi" = once divorced. In Japanese "koseki," your family register, the spouse's name goes on it, and when you get divorced, they "cross it out" with a big "X." "X" = "batsu" in Japanese, and "ichi" is "one," so "divorced once."

so it could be the X of her father and the X of her mother


but if she daid that it could be for anyone, it would be that...

this was tip for everyone's mind ^^
