[Unconfirmed] 14.09.2011 Hidden Meaning From Ayu's Mini Album's Title "FIVE"?

Japanese fans through Mixi (an ONLY Japanese online community) have been discussing about the possible hidden meaning of Ayu's latest mini album title "FIVE" and Ayu gave a hint through her recent Sweet Magazine October 2011 interview that there's a hidden message that can be found on the title "FIVE".

Japanese fans have been speculating the hidden meaning would be that "FIVE" word is designed to create another new word, "HOPE" like seen below:


It's quite make sense, isn't it?

I appreciate the mini album more now because of this message, whether it's real or not.
I know that Ayu wouldn't create the title of her albums without any meaning behind it.

[Lyric] 28.08.2011 FIVE Mini Album Songs Lyrics By masa

Here are the lyrics in Romaji + English Translation of FIVE Mini Album songs by masa

Progress

Romaji:

Tanjun na hibi o osorete ita no wa mou tooi mukashi
Fukuzatsu na hibi koso kanashii no o shitte ru

Modori tai toka ja naku te shinji tai kokoro ga hora
Senaka de sakende ru machigatte nanka i nai yo tte

* Onaji toki o kizande onaji mirai shinjite ru futari
Kinou no namida mo kyou no egao mo shinjitsu na mama

Onaji itami o shitte onaji yasashisa mochiyotte
Ashita o ikite yukeru tsuyosa ni kaete yuku kara

Ano toki ni ano basho ni ite tatakatte ita jibun ga
Subete wa ima o erabu tame datta to shita nara

Mukiae zu okizari na mama me o sorashite ita kako o
Yurushi tai to omou no wa yurusare tai kara na no kana

Bokura ga tada jiyuu de i rareta ano koro wa tooku te
Mujaki na egao dake ja kono goro wa sugose nai kedo

Bokura wa susunde yuku sore demo susumi tsuzukete ku
Nanika o shinji rareru kokoro ga nokotte ru kara

Nee, bokura wa kore made datte kore kara datte
Ooku no koto o nozon dari wa shi nai yo

* (repeat)

Onaji itami o shitte onaji yasashisa mochiyotte
Ashita o ikite yukeru tsuyosa ni kaete iketa nara kitto

wow wow wow
wow wow yeah

Translation:

I was afraid of simple days so long ago
I know now it's complicated days that are sad

I don't mean to say I want to return
My heart wants to believe, and look, it's shouting in my back, "You aren't wrong at all"

* Two of us are having the same time and believing in the same future
Our tears yesterday and our smiles today are both true

Because we know the same pain, bring along the same tenderness
And change them into the strength to live on tomorrow

I was fighting at that time, at that place
If all my deeds were to choose the way I am now

I wonder if it's because I want to be forgiven
That I want to forgive my past I couldn't face, I left behind and looked away from

The days we could just be free are far past
And though we can't spend the days with just innocent smiles now

We go forward, we continue to go forward even so
Because we still have the hearts to believe in something

You see? We haven't and will not
Want much at all

* (repeat)

If we know the same pain, bring along the same tenderness
And can change them into the strength to live on tomorrow, surely...

wow wow wow
wow wow yeah

More under the cut!

ANother song

Romaji:

Nano ni nano ni boku tachi wa
Tonari bakari urayanda
Soshite soshite watashi tachi wa
Chika sugite miushinatta

Mado ni utsutta jibun ga
Nasakenaku te aa iradatsu
Dakedo jikan wa makimodose nai
I miss you

* Kanashii kurai aishite ita yo
Dou shiyou mo naku aishite ita yo
Ano natsu no hi wa mou tooi kedo
Kimi ni todoke to utau another song

Yagate yagate boku tachi wa
Ato ni natte kizuku
Dakara dakara watashi tachi wa
Naita mama watatte ta

Magarikunetta michi no
Saki de mata deaeru kana
Nante oroka na yume o mite wa
Miss you so badly

** Kinou mo zutto aishite ita yo
Kyou mo ichinichi aishite ita yo
Ashita mo kitto aishite iru yo
Soshite kimi e to utau another song

Imagoro kimi wa dare no soba de
Donna kao o misete iru no
Kimi no i nai mainichi
Ni mada nareru koto ga deki nai mama da yo

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

Gomen ne ima mo aishite iru yo
Zurui kana demo aishite iru yo
Ano natsu no hi wa mou tooi kedo
Kimi ni todoke to utau another song

Kimi ni ...
Kimi ni todoke to ...

Translation:

"But we only envied
Our neighbor's lives"
"And we lost sight of each other
Being too near"

I see my own reflection in the mirror
And feel wretched and so irritated
But I can't rewind time
I miss you

* I loved you painfully
I loved you irresistibly
Those summer days are far past
But I sing another song, wishing it reaches you

"By and by
We notice afterward"
"So we understood
In tears"

"Can I meet you again
Down the winding road?"
I dream a foolish dream like this
Miss you so bad

** I loved you all day yesterday
I loved you all day today
I'll surely love you tomorrow
And I sing another song to you

With whom are you now?
And what expression are you showing?
I can't yet be used to the days
Without you

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

I'm sorry, I love you even now
Am I dishonest? But I love you
Those summer days are far past
But I sing another song, wishing it reaches you

To you ...
Wishing it reaches you ...

Why...

Romaji:

Are kara toki wa tachi nani ga kawatta n darou
Kyori wa nani o toozaketa n darou
Kizutsuke nai you ni sukoshi hanareta no wa
Kizutsuka nai tame datta no kana

Hanarete ite mo kikoete iru yo
Boku no namae yobu koe
Doko ni ite mo sagashite shimau yo
Kimi no ushirosugata

* Ai tai yo toka samishii yo toka
Doushite motto tsutae nakatta n darou
Yasashisa to wagamama no chigai
Sore sae wakara zu ni

Taisetsu datta no wa me o awaseru koto de
Kawasu kotoba no kazu ja nakkata

Pride nante sutete shimae ba
Ima wa chigatte ita kana

** Aishite ru tte nando ii kakete
Ie nakute tte kurikaeshita n darou
Dono kurai ato tsuyoku nare ba
Bokura wa yokatta no

Futari egaita yume wa chikai atta mirai wa
Ano hi kara sukoshizutsu boyake dashite miushinatta
Te o nobashite mita kedo doko ni mo todoka nai yo
Why... wow

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

Translation:

Time has passed since then, what has changed?
What did the distance keep away from me?
I moved a little away so as not to hurt you
But was it actually because I didn't want to be hurt?

Though we are apart, I can hear
The voice calling my name
Wherever I may be, I seek for
Your back

* Why didn't I tell you more often
Like "I want to see you" and "I feel lonely"?
I didn't even know the difference
Between tenderness and selfishness

The important thing was to meet our eyes
And not the number of the words we exchanged

If I had thrown away my pride
Are the things different now?

** How many times did I try to say, "I love you"
And couldn't I say so again and again?
How much stronger should we have been
To make it better?

The dream we pictured and the future we promised each other
Have faded little by little since that day and I lost sight of them
I try to reach out, but can reach nowhere
Why... wow

* (repeat)
** (repeat)

beloved

Romaji:

Kinou no boku wa mada umaku aruke nakute
Kotoba furimawashite dareka o kizutsuketa yo
Kyou no boku wa soshite ushiroyubi o sasarete
Tsumetai shisen sakeru you ni utsumuite iru yo

Translation:

Yesterday, I couldn't walk well yet
And I hurt someone with random words
Today, people are talking behind my back
And I'm looking down to avoid their stares

My dear, how do you see me, how do I look in your eyes?
My dear, I want you alone to tell me the truth and scold me when I'm wrong

* I want you never to change
And stay there, just there
And please let me stay by your side
Though I can never change with unnatural smile

I wonder if I can expect myself a little tomorrow
Lifting the edges of my lips
My dear, do you think I'm still laughable and not good enough?
My dear, I want you alone to show me the truth and laugh away, "You are foolish"

Do you still remember the continuation of the dream
You were talking about that night?
It's all as vivid as before without fading
And ruling my heart even now

My dear, I want you alone to praise me
Even if others may deny me

* (repeat)

My dear, I know that actually
You aren't so strong, either
I can do nothing for you
But I'm always embracing your heart

BRILLANTE

Romaji:

Anata o omotte tsuzuru no wa kore de
Saigo ni suru koto ni shita wa
Riyuu o tsuge nai sore ga saidai no
Atashi kara no okurimono

Omotta yori mo
Hito wa zutto tsuyoi mono ne

Tada moto ni modotta dake no koto yo ne

Nani mo mie naku natta
Sono ato de subete mieta
Tsuzuku michi wa sema sugite
Mou narande aruite wa ike nai no yo

Translation:

I decided that this is my last time to write
Thinking of you
I don't tell you the reason
This is the biggest present from me

A human is much stronger
Than I thought, isn't he?
I've stayed in the darkness a little longer
But it's time to go

I coundn't see anything
After that, I saw everything
The road ahead is too narrow
And I have no choice but to walk alone

When tha pain becomes
Far beyond the reach of imagination

There is no more energy left
To be able to cry or shout
A human is entirely
Caught in nothingness, isn't he?

What had been two
Became one, and became two
It's no more than that
We've just come full circle, haven't we?

I coundn't see anything
After that, I saw everything
The road ahead is too narrow
And I can no more walk on, side by side with you

[Lyric] 20.08.2011 Unconfirmed Lyric of「Why...」Kanji + English Translation

「Why...」lyric Kanji + English Translation

Kanji

あれから時は経ち 何が変わったんだろう
距離は何を遠ざけたんだろう
傷つけないように 少し離れたのは
傷つかないためだったのかな?

離れていても 聴こえているよ
僕の名前呼ぶ声
どこに居ても 探してしまうよ
君の後ろ姿

『逢いたいよ』とか『淋しいよ』とか
どうしてもっと伝えなかったんだろう
優しさとわがままの違い
それさえわからずに

大切だったのは 目を合わせる事で
交わす言葉の数じゃなかった
プライドなんて 捨ててしまえば
今は違っていたかな?

『愛してる』って何度言いかけて
言えなくてって繰り返したんだろう
どの位あと強くなれば
僕らはよかったの?

ふたり描いた夢は 誓い合った未来は
あの日から少しずつ ぼやけ出して見失った
手を伸ばしてみたけど どこにも届かないよ
Why... wow

『逢いたいよ』とか『淋しいよ』とか
どうしてもっと伝えなかったんだろう
優しさとわがままの違い
それさえわからずに

『愛してる』って何度言いかけて
言えなくてって繰り返したんだろう
どの位あと強くなれば
僕らはよかったの?

Translation:

Time has passed since then. Has something changed?
What did the distance keep away from me?
I moved away slightly so as to not hurt you
But wasn’t I actually trying to protect myself instead?

Though we’re far apart, I can still hear
A voice calling my name
No matter where I am, I search for
Your back

“I want to see you” and “I miss you”
Why didn’t I tell you those words more often?
I couldn’t even tell the difference
Between kindness and selfishness

Not the number of words we exchanged
But looking each other in the eye was important
Could things be different now
If I had thrown away my pride?

Trying to say “I love you” but being unable to
That cycle repeated itself again and again
How much stronger should I
Have been for us to be okay?

The dream we pictured together
The future we promise to each other
Faded little by little since that day and we lost sight of them
I tried to reach out my hand, but I can’t reach you
Why...?

“I want to see you” and “I miss you”
Why didn’t I tell you those words more often?
I couldn’t even tell the difference
Between kindness and selfishness

Trying to say “I love you” but being unable to
That cycle repeated itself again and again
How much stronger should I
Have been for us to be okay?
