[Info] "humming 7/4" PV and MY STORY tracklist from ayu.livedoor.biz

[jerms]

I don't think it is. I whipped out my conducting skills (yay for band in high school!) and conducted Surreal in 4/4 time throughout the ENTIRE song. The tempo didn't change either.

really? i thought surreal was a 5/4 song.

It's very unlike to place 3 ballads in a row, especially for ayu. Cmon' this wolud be so boring, so i guess the tracklist is fake

a) walking proud sounds like a decently fast song to me.
b) i think she's had 3 "slow" songs in a row on every album so far..even memorial address!

How do I know this? Well, in Japanese, like most Asian languages, in most cases there's no difference between singular and plural so you use the same word for both 'woman' and 'women'. My theory is that Ayu probably thought she wanted the title to represent all of women but that went in conflict with 'My' which should've been 'Our', for it to make sense.

I have actually gotten used to the title "my name's WOMEN". After re-repeating it several times it actually makes some sense now and isn't as incorrect as I was shocked in the start. It actually is sounding sorta natural now, I don't feel the title is weird anymore.
As for "WE WISH" and "appears", wow those titles seem completely fine, I see no mistakes in them at all.
The only song I still think has a wrong title is "Greatful days", however I have to sorta agree that it sounds much cooler than if it were just "Great days", it seems to have much more emphasis. So in that part I would agree with lolo66, about an artist having the ability to play with words and create neologism. the lyterature is full of it

OHMEHGOSHER! "HAPPY ENDING" sounded like Avril. Hahaha... 'Bout " humming 7/4" this title for a song is kinda interestin'...

[ohsixthirty]

^LOL, you're so right! "So much for my Happy Ending!"

[Ayu_desu]

I don't think it is. I whipped out my conducting skills (yay for band in high school!) and conducted Surreal in 4/4 time throughout the ENTIRE song. The tempo didn't change either.

I thinks it's 6/8 time...

Ayu's time signatures are constantly changing in her songs. "Surreal" is a perfect example.

The time signature doesn't change... in the middle of the song, it's a matter of different rhythms...

[CREATE]

i dunno.... everything seems so FAKE to me! all...the tracklist, the song titles, well, ayu WOULDN'T put a song with another silly title right?

my name's WOMEN, for example
love the song
loath the title

no please, this isn't true i hope

If Uou would have a pet and name it "WOMEN" and the pet could talk, woouldn't it say: "my name's WOMEN"? So, GRAMATICALLY, it IS ok...

And the meaning of the title is a different story...

Odd, when I opened the song in Sound Forge, it changed from 3/4, to... um... 6/4 (I think), then back to 4/4. I counted the beats in those perameters, and it worked (though I can't remember if it was really 6/4), so yeah. Then again, Sound Forge isn't ment persay for pop MP3s, so yeah. You could very well be right, cause I'm cosntantly wrong.

[Delirium-Zer0]

SURREAL is definitely 4/4 the whole way through. SoundForge listens for accentuated beats but doesn't count to make sure it fits within the context of the whole song. Only a human can do that.

The only song where ayu actually changes TIME signature, as in the sheet music actually changes and the song doesn't just suddenly change mood (which can be done with arrangement only, not the time actually changing), is HANABI ~episode II~.

=x I love you all, but seriously? ..time signatures and beats, 4/4 =x enjoy the music and get out of your houses! Your going to end up going crazy and marring a blow up doll you named hamasaki =\ and you'll spend all day making/kniting it clothes, and feeding it, and bathing it, and walking through the park with it and going to the movies, and picnics...

=o sorry.

hahaha.

I agree about the titles though, this tracklist is fun and semi-believable compared to the others floating around. I sort of hope this tracklist is real because I actually like most of the titles. And it will be great to have a 17-track album.

I actually love the title "my name's WOMEN".

Or she is personifying women, like saying my name is WOMEN and then she talks about herself, being WOMEN...I dunno, that'd make sense...

I agree... I think it's sort of an "I'm every woman" deal (who sings that again?) Like, she's relating all women to herself... wow, that's REALLY hard to put into words.
