The (in)famous Ladies Night lines

Remember people trying to figure out what is exactly is being said during Ladies Night? If you listen to Ladies Night x AFRA & INCREDIBLE BEATBOX BAND remix, you can hear the lines pretty clearly...

I guess the mystery is solved ;)

I think the line was figured out about 3 years ago and the clarity of the remix has already been mentioned.

Didn't people figure it out from the Sweebox version?

So what is she really saying, then? Because I still don't get it.

It was called............................ Ladies Night!

It's the part when she's like speaking. She goes "If you lose them, can't replace them.." bla bla and so on.

As to what she is actually saying, Delirium-Zer0 at ayunite made this post, which makes a lot of sense.

Actually, it's not Jade in ayu's version of Ladies Night. It's ayu. If you listen to Jade's version, there are entire syllables that Jade said that ayu didn't... ayu's version sounds oh-so-suspiciously like a Japanese speaker trying to imitate something an English speaker says. The reason why you can't understand Ayu is because she's missing syllables and accenting things awkwardly. It's really only in there for effect, and they aren't ayu's lyrics, but it is ayu singing that part.

Listen to JUST the rap part of the Sweetbox version, and then JUST the rap part of ayu's version, and you can plainly hear the differences.

Plus, no one but ayu is credited for vocals in that song, aside from "vocoder voice" which is an entirely different part of the song (the vocoder voice barely sounds human at all).

I'll post up sound clips later to demonstrate.

In the meantime, I don't think even the Sweetbox album included the lyrics to that section of "Ladies Night", because every sweetbox site or lyrics site has everything else but that part.

In the sweetbox version, I hear this:
"Leave him, lose him
Cut, replace him (danger)
Hate him then erase him
You don't ever (need to)
Think it can't beat him (need to)"

It sounds to me like Ayu's just imitating that, not reading off any lyrics. Since ayu was going to write her own japanese lyrics, why would GEO include Jade's lyrics with the demos he gave her? Honestly, Ayu probably doesn't quite know what the words are herself, which would explain why she didn't sing that part in concert (not to mention the distortion effect on her voice is necessary for this part to really work towards the atmosphere of the song).

So she sounds kinda like this:

"If you lose them
can't place them (danger)
Hate him, then even so
You don't ever (need to)
Think you can't beat him (need to)"

Pretty close but you can tell factors like japanese accent & not quite understanding the words have come into play here.

So anyway. It IS ayu doing the rap, but no one quite knows for sure what the lyrics are, is my point.

^:laugh That does make sense. I'm listening to it now and I can actually hear Ayu say all of those lines. Tbh, I didn't even know you guys were talking about that part for some reason. When I first heard the song I could hear her say "can't place them" <~Although, I thought she said replace instead of place. It's just a matter of you listening really carefully to the song to hear what she's actually saying. :yes

I thought it went like...

"Danger, wisdom.
Can't place them (danger)
Hating them, then even so
You don't ever (need to)
Think you can't beat him (need to)"

^ O_O i hear something like

if you need him, cant replace him,
than you hate him, than even so
you dont ever need to
think you can date him

>_> well it makes sense to me i guess :innocent :D

i guess that on the remix version of Ladies Night...
i heard a guy added some new rap on the song... sound different from Ayu's original of Ladies Night which only got this part only:

Quote:

"If you lose them
can't place them (danger)
Hate him, then even so
You don't ever (need to)
Think you can't beat him (need to)"

ZOMG zoomzoom, that post totally makes ense. Now i can't even remember what was "my version" of it: "Think you loathe him? Gotta replace him...." lol

Quote:

"If you lose them
can't place them (danger)
Hate him, then even so
You don't ever (need to)
Think you can't beat him (need to)"

I'm not hearing the "If" or the "can't beat him" at all :no ... The only parts I hear are in bold. And that's from listening to the remix and the original.

It sounds like it starts with a 'd', like in the word 'did' :shrug

Hmm... it's like how many licks it will take to get to the center of a tootsie pop... the world may never know :laugh

oww..thanks for the info...i will try to hear it again

my god... what I think that the lyrics says is so diferent... in fact... my version doesn't is coherent XD

thanks for that guys!

Oh boy~. Here we go again :bsigh

Anywayz: here is what I hear:
Did you loathe him?
Gotta (re)place him, hate him then even so
you don't ever think you can fail (And I guess she pronounces "fail" as "failu" on a Japanese way)

I don't know for sure if it's "place" or "replace"

Leave him? lose him?
Cant replace him? (danger)
You dont even (need to)
Think you can beat him

???? :| Thats what i think i like skimmed the sweetbox version 2 days ago lol so yeah

I dare someone to post to Ayu and ask her! Ayu ayu ayu ayu, what on earth are you saying in Ladies Night? : D

^Yeah, I thought many time befores: Can't we just ask Ayu?
