P.S II

Just a question as to why this really underrated song has not ever been performed live. Well, thePPN says so anyways. It's probably my favourite LOVEppears album track after Fly high and Who... Is it because to song is depressing? It it because Ayu just doesn't like it? I want to know, plz.

Oh, and if I'm wrong and it has been performed live - give me links!

Hmm, it's like a lot of other songs that weren't performed live. Maybe she just didnt' like it as much as others? Liar and Will weren't performed either, I wish they would be.

Finally someone else who loves this song! It's my favorite LOVEppears track, and I don't understand why everyone else seems to be so indifferent to it.

[hayasaki]

Yeah...it's a great track for me as well. It has that power and i Like it better than the first PS. XD

Lol P.S II sounded like POWDER SNOW in a techno remix to me... are they like the exact same song, just with different arrangements or something?

[TITANIC]

yaaawhh she never sing P.S.II?
umm but POWDER SNOW is better IMO

"P.S II" is like a continuation or conclusion to "POWDER SNOW". The melody is only the same during the chorus, the verses and bridge are different. So I wouldn't say it's only a different arrangement, but a new composition with elements of "POWDER SNOW".

By the way, "P.S II" is also one of my favourites off "LOVEppears". ^^

PSII > PS

It's kinda difficult to perform live, I think.

Why's that? Artists should only record songs that they can sing live. Well, sort of. Like, if you can sing it in the studio, why can't you sing it live?

Anyway, this song is really great. I like the beat a lot. Ayu should do more R&B styled tracks ....

[Queen Bee]

^That's true but look at kanariya. If she tried to perform that song live the way it was recorded she might run into a few problems.

I know. That's why I'm saying artists shouldn't record songs they can't sing live. But they still do.

[Queen Bee]

You're right, they do and they always will...but then again they also record songs they can sing live but never do. *cough*cough*It was, GUILTY, HOPE or PAIN, still alone, Lair, criminal*cough*cough*

[Ayumi_lover]

i think she can sing this live, it just not so popular, or they couldn't make any show for this, so it doesn't fit any of her concert tours. And maybe people want to hear another songs more

Well, that's when there's a line between a recording artist and a singer. Some people (recording artists) prefer to produce records as a sort of sonic artistic experience. Others (singers) want their focus to be live entertainment.

Ayu has tendencies for both, and they're both valid.

I see. Informative. But I still stand by my opinion.

Enough with the off-topicness though. *plays P.SII*

EDIT - I think this song would be perfectly fine to sing live. As in, Ayu would be able to pull it off. She could pull off "appears", and that's just as high.

[Ayumi_lover]

i think it was sung at Secret Live 1999 or maybe origianl version of Powder Snow

[kirei_ayumi]

I like this song as well. I wish ayu could've performed it live also...

I think for the most part, the songs she hasn't performed are the songs that she don't fit her vision for the concerts.. :/

Plus, 24 out of 150 isn't so bad. XD Minus the songs that she has performed but we haven't seen: 18.

18/150 -> 12% of all her songs? :O

Thanks for the list. In the end I decided to "ask Ayu" this question actually. So if she performs it at her next tour it means she read my question. Maybe one day she'll perform some kind of medley between PS and P.S II. (I asked her that too!)
