Random question, but... How is "A Song for XX" pronounced?

Are the X's pronounced at all, to make it pronounced as "a song for eks, eks"? Or is it just as "as song for...". Thanks

It's pronounced "A Song For"

A good question for an Ayu FAQ.

I had this question a while back, but just assumed it was A Song For ekks ekks until I heard the Complete Clip Box with all the CMs.

It's supposed to be like A Song For (insert name here)?

I've heard Ayu speak it that way, and in the CM for it, that's how the announcer said it. I'll see if I can find any of those, if I have them...

That's one of the ads, thanks! It was too late for me to power up the desktop last night, but still, you saved me trouble.

^ You're welcome! I was surprised to find it on YouTube tbh with the way Avex like to crack down on things.

I've been saying it wrong also!!!! I really believed it was a song for ex ex. Now if I ever I go see her I won't look stupid in front of all the Japanese fans saying "omg it's a Song for ex ex!!!"

Don't worry, it took me a while to get the "right" way to say it too. ^_^

Hahaha, I feel like there are so many ways to mispronounce it, we should just call it "The Song formerly known as A Song for xx". xD

AHH! Why do I put It's? I mean to put Is it. I've got to watch my Ipod!

Anyway, what I meant to ask is is it supposed to be like A Song For (insert name here)? Or are the XX things there for fun? Or do they have some other meaning?

Sorry!

^ I think it means "insert name here". I really like the name of this song, because it's so open ended. I think the lyrics are soooo easy to relate to, that this song could really be for anyone. Maybe Ayu knew this and that's what she called it that.

On the other hand, the "xx" could represent the person she was singing the song for--so instead of doing something like "A Song for my Dad" or "A Song for my best friend", she left it anonymous. But who really knows for sure?

This brought back memories... I think this was my first question at AHO. It might've been here... *goes to look*
