Ayu demos or unreleased?
 

Are there any? I never see this for any Asian artist except for some 2NE1 demo, Bommerang =p

I've heard mp3 leaks of demos by Do As Infinity, B'z, Shiina Ringo, and L'arc... never Ayu though. It's upsetting! Many of us would LOVE full versions of some of her songs as they appeared in old CMs, especially the raw rock version of "still alone" and the slowed-down version of "STEP you". But alas, it has not happened. :(

They're probably locked in some A Vault, which stinks. I bet her demos from way back when are amazing... and even the recent ones. I want to hear the CREA that was going to happen before Rule and Sparkle outdid it.

Sweet season, the version of the leaked 1st version of the video could be a demo of the song, sounds different, but I don't know if that version was released before or was leaked because of the video too :)

Wasn't there some controversy about GREEN too? Something about how the version on the CM was more rock-ish than the version we have now.

Wasn't the CM version of GREEN more subtle?

I don't need that trash version of STEP you - it sounds horrible. But I wouldn't mind the other songs in their CM format.

And funny, 'cause I was just thinking about that CREA track today and when Ayu blogged she had submitted one. Alas, it never saw the light of day...

The CM version of Step You sounds brain dead. Its so slow and sounds like it had a stroke.
But I'd LOVE to hear the still alone demo!

don't forget the CM version of Beatiful Fighters...

That could actually be a great 5th release, but it will not happen til Ayu retires or dies probably :(

It would be amazing to know just how many songs she actually recorded at points in her career though......and see how many CREA songs exist after all. She sometimes mentions recording and composing but it comes to nothing!

Beautiful Fighters' rock mix was amazing.

:yes It would be amazing !!!!

I would love to see this happening too, and was actually talking about this, how so many artists must record soooooo many songs that never see any kind of release. I also remember Crystal Kay, by the time the ALL YOURS cd came out how she said in an interview a lot of songs are recorded but it is never her who picks them it was Sony at the time, so in the end a lot of maybe so many goos songs are locked for good...

As much as I love Beautiful Fighters I've always loved the version in the CM more even though it's only 15s.

I miss so much the Panasonic CMs....

It's a bit strange considering north american artists, such as Lana Del Rey as an example, have hundreds of leaked demos. Lana Del Rey seems like not a very long-time artist, yet she has over a hundred leaked demos and songs on the internet.

There's a poker face demo I saw online

Is it real? I'm dying to hear those CM demos full <3 Please Ayu (or avex) release an album with rarities and demos.

I would die for the original CM versions of those tracks (specially "still alone").

At least we have the "poker face" demo and the "Sweet Season" demo :D

The CM version of Naturally was better IMO not particulary the music but her voice was softer like the original Still Alone ^^

The way that they distributed Western demos vs. Eastern ones (a lot of K-Pop demos are done by European producers) could have to do with it... so we get leaks from certain channels here while things are behind more closed doors in Japan.

I'd like to hear the full version of INSPIRE orchestra version in the Guggenheim Japan CM.
