Sooo anyone speculating yet about the title being something that grows in Hawaii? Max lives in Hawaii. It's coinciding with the M drama...

Ayu loves to create thinly veiled mysteries for us.

What’s to speculate? Ohia is a tree, Lehua is the flower that grows on that tree, and the song is about her child, as referenced by the opening lines, so I think it’s safe to say the Ohia/Lehua references(as well as the tale surrounding it) are just metaphor for her love & devotion for her child.

^ Yeah, I mean there is no doubt the song is for her child. But the legend is actually about two lovers being joined together forever. I think the timing of the release combined with the title being something specific to Hawaii and a legend about lovers, its meant to encourage speculation that it's Max child, whether true or not.

Didn't she went to Hawaii with Pei or whatever his name is during that time? Maybe if he's actually the baby's dad the legend is about him lol

I have no doubt in my mind that Araki Syunpei is the father of the child. Their social media accounts are so glaringly obvious. They aren’t even being coy about it. That last image on his Instagram and the lyrics for this song speak volumes.

Anyway, Ayu has always preferred her men post-Max to have good faces and no way is she letting her beloved child inherit Max Matsuura’s face. What’s the point? She doesn’t need his money.

"Ohia no Ki" is at #6 on oricon's daily digital singles chart. It seems to have sold under 5K. Looking at the competition, I think ayu can/might reach number 5 weekly, which would be very nice.

I really like this song!! I don't think I'll listen to it non-stop but I like the way she sings. It differs from all her other songs tbh. It sounds mature and it very very slightly reminds me of Seiko Matsuda's 'Bara no you ni...'

I thought I was the only one who thought of that song. The song's ok, even though that type of arrangement has been done a lot in her newest songs. I believe that The way I am has a way catcher and pleasing chorus, but her voice is slightly better here.

Oddly enough, besides the "official audio" and snippet videos, there's this 3rd one where the comments section is open.

I think it's auto-generated. All of these have open comment sections.

Sometimes there is just no explanation for who you love, and Ayu clearly loved him.

I don't know why that post would necessarily mean anything. I mean, I assume Pei has a mother.

It’s the track they upload for use with YouTube Music. They have them for most of Ayu’s discography.
