I think she will never ever perform kanariya. She must hate that song.

I think it has to do more with the necessayr vocals for the song. Even when it was first released, it would be very difficult for her voice to be able to hit those high notes. And now with her deeper voice I find it out of the question.

She probably can't sing it anyway.

Has she ever performed Thank U? I'm afraid to know.

CDL10-11, AT11 and AT12

Maybe she'll surprise everyone and perform it at the final show.

She can do a new version for her current voice. I don't see a problem. Maybe she doesn't want to sing it for whatever reason...

If she can sing Thank U she can sing kanariya.

I agree she doesn't need to do it super high pitched if she can't. She can do the remix, or a new arrangement that is fit for her current voice. Besides doesn't she feels weird it NEVER got performed in any sort of kind unlike ever free. Maybe avex forced the single, but still there must be a reason other than that if it was chosen as a single.

I feel like she got forced to create this song but it ended up to be a hidden track in Loveppears.

^After reading your post and read kanariya's lyric, I agree with you.
I suspect they forced her to create the song, thus she wrote
Nevertheless I really love the song especially the PV version, it got nice beats she could sing a short version and has the dancer do a dance session with its rest.

i don't get the effing big deal about kanariya or ever free...

Well, in my case, they're both of my favorite songs ever (kanariya's being the PV version), and since they've never been perfomed live, I really want to hear/see them, even if Ayu voice couldn't reach some notes. :P

ever free and kanariya are two most anticipated songs in her tour all the time.

I am fine that she play ever free in A BEST Live but just not performing it. We just don't exactly know why she never performs kanariya while it is one of the most requested songs.

I imagine a deep ballad version of kanariya, matching her current voice.
Like, only her voice and a piano, slow pace and ayu almost whispering the song with our beautiful deep voice.

^Like the ayu-mi-x 7 version but with her current voice, it would be splendid! or she can do a slow jazz arrangements based on the album version. I really hope she has another live with song re-arrangements :yes

The big fuss about kanariya and ever free for me is that I really love both songs, they're beautiful but yea like kotora said. ever free was presented in 2000 and now so it's not that much of a problem, but she never perform kanariya and I wonder why.

New theory: perhaps someone who used to work in avex pushed her to write kanariya. That person got fired or no longer in avex, so ayu chooses to avoid this song. Maybe she will sing this song if she get pissed off by avex, a lot.

^If that's true then let avex pissed her off so bad she'll sing it :laugh
And yea, despite any possible theories we can think of, it's a risk for a singer songwriter like her that all of her songs have their own little history of their own it probably causes her to avoid performing some of it.

I wanted "Endless sorrow", but I'm SOOOO happy that "ever free" and "kanariya" are there! :smitten

GREAT setlist! I love it! :heart

I don't want to see Endless sorrow because it does not really fit in this tour.

Agree!!! I doubt that she will never perform live Untitled for her again and may never perform Untitled for her story 2 in the future.

By the way, just have a look at the list. All songs make sense except evolution..lol, people do not get bored with it after watching/listening to it every concert year after year? Ha ha..
