hahahaha I can understand your feeling. But I feel that sometimes it's really cute to have backstage videos between performance... Like in July 1st from STADIUM TOUR, it's so awesome to see her progress thru the making of the tour and the final project. :) But I love me some backstage after the full concert.

I love No More Words so much. I've been really hoping for it on the TA Tour.

Last year during the acoustic/unplugged segment on her birthday show, some random girl screamed out "NEVER EVER" and then she actually sang it. I kinda want to do the same thing this year with No More Words, lol.

SCREAM KANARIYA! SCREAM YOUR HEART OUT FOR KANARIYA! (sorry I had to do this but really! *-*)

Haha, I thought of it, don't worry. But I think she'd give some major side-eye lol.

"KANARIYA!"

"Oh, did I hear BLUE BIRD?"

"No, KANARIYA!"

"BLUE BIRD it is!"

:roflmao

Yeah... pretty much. xD

"NO, KANARIYA WITH K!"

"WAIT! KANARIYA?"

"YES!"

"WHERE ARE THE CANARIES? STAFF TAKE THE CANARIES OUT OF THE ZEPP PLEASE!"

If you scream "KANARIYA!" and she sings it don't forget to record sound before that somehow cuz... WE NEVER KNOW!

I wouldn't say I hate it, but I've always disliked it for this same reason.

I've always loved no more words. Always. It's so.... I don't know. Passionate? Honest? It's one of the few songs that I've over-listened to and can still stand to listen to today. Though the way the chorus is sung isn't my favorite, the lyrics are, of course, great. When I first read those lyrics in high school I actually got teary-eyed. Man, I used to identify so much with Ayu back then.

I've always loved it too

Back during A Best Tour that's what I voted for haha. And it got to the pool of results that Ayu would choose from. Unfortunately she didn't sing it though.

The atmosphere it creates is beautiful imo.

I love no more words, especially the acoustic orchestra version. That version makes the song sound somewhat haunting, which is very different from the original, which sounds more like it's meant to be inspirational.

....there's an acoustic orchestra version? Which album or single or compilation or whatever did this come from? (I feel like I should know this but I don't.)

I really like Missing! Though most of her recent discography hasn't yielded a true hit, this song is one of the gems for me.

You can find it on ayu-mi-x 4 + selection Acoustic Orchestra Version :)

I'd never dare to ask her to sing kanariya lol

^ Thank you, friend!

EDIT:

Oh my gosh, it is soooo pretty!!!! :luv2

To be honest, I've never downloaded any of the remix albums besides an occasional one if a song was recommended to me or something. I didn't realize all these orchestrated versions were even freaking here. Lord, I'm a horrible Ayu fan :laugh

Haha, why not!?:D

no more words is **everything** :love

an amazing song on an amazing album with an awesome anime tie in :luv2 *swoon* he's me every time. especially when the strings kick in <3 and the very last verse. it's so passionate I feel helpless :tipsy

does anybody have a link to the lyrics interpretation pages? I wanna re-read them especially for this song:
I don't quite understand what she means she would rather be among the losers? :o

"If this world were split into
winners and losers,
I'd rather be a loser.
I always want to be a loser"

I feel like there's a very specific reason for it. Wonder if she did any interviews about the creation. Some of her work with DAI as CREA was just.... wow.

Also regarding the winners and losers thing, I don't think she ever addressed it. Was looking at some fan discussion on Yahoo/Biglobe and there was sort of a consensus that she may have thought there was some bitterness in being a winner and that it may not necessarily bring you happiness. Meanwhile, as a 'loser', you may be working harder to protect the happiness you have and not take it for granted. They thought perhaps the themes were similar to 'Dearest' which I agree with.

I don't know, this is some kind of sad song i think she avoids singing for a certain reason (not on the same level of ever free but kind of) and i wouldn't want to hurt her feelings by asking her to sing it if she secretely doesn't want to :tipsy

Hmm... Ever Free is really sad... I still hope she sings it at least once since she plays it I think its not like she doesnt want the song to be there 'cause of being sad... But like she perfomed Untitled so... I mean it's also a very sad song...
