The song "Will"

#1 10th July 2006, 11:50 PM

Has this song never been performed live before? Even at the tour? Anyone know why?

I was listening to the song and just thought, "Hey, I've never seen this performed live...nor was there a PV.", so I was just wondering.

Also, are there any other songs that have never been performed live, other than kanariya?

Will was never performed live, I don't know why.

Interesting questions, I'd also like to know which songs has never been performed live.

I'm quite sure ever free has never been performed live. From (miss)understood I think, in addition to Will, In The Corner and Criminal was never performed. From MY STORY I think the only track that was never performed live is Liar, or is my mind playing tricks on me?

^HOPE or PAIN hasnt been performed. I really love that song too : (

^Ah, true.

I can't understand why she chose to not include Will, In The Corner, criminal, HOPE or PAIN or Liar in any of her tours.

I belive those songs would sound just too awesome when sung live, so she chose to exclude them in order to reduce the fatality rate of her performances.

No, but seriously, wouldn't Liar make one of the best live songs ever? I can't help but to think that.

While I enjoy all her non-live tracks as much, I do have preferences among her live ones, hehe.

What about Connected? Or I am...?

immel · #6 11th July 2006, 12:43 AM

Connected was performed as the opening song of COUNTDOWN LIVE 2001-2002, after opening run which was the intro.

I am... was the opening track for ARENA TOUR 2002, it was also included again later on in the same performance.

"still alone" wasn't ever performed either. ;_;

^ Damn shame, that. That would have been great to see/hear live.

Every non single song minus A Song For Xx, off of her first album has not been performed live. (well they were, but there is no video that exists.)

Same thing with Scar, it was performed but not recorded.

And yes, Liar would be a great live song.

Are You Wake Up? is the opening of Arena Tour 2006. It wasn't played with live instruments so I don't know if it counts.

Kaleidoscope was the opening of Arena Tour 2005, the same goes for this one as Are You Wake Up?.

Catcher In The Light was played right before HONEY in Arena Tour 2005 - with live instruments & "song".

I don't know about opening run, if it's something only for the DVD, like WONDERLAND at AT2k5 DVD. I'll check that now.

SunshineSlayer · #12 11th July 2006, 02:15 AM

Wonderland should also be counted as having been played. It was the intro for Arena 05

immel · #13 11th July 2006, 02:21 AM

I thought WONDERLAND was only for the DVD, and Kaleidoscope what the intro when the actual show started? I got it wrong it seems.

Just came to think about something completely random. I went into the arena like 30-40 minutes before the show started at AT2k6, all the time they played Madonna, at quite low volume, up untill the lights went out and Are You Wake Up? started, at both days

. Was it the same at Saitama?

opening RUN which is played right after I am... in AT02 is performed with live instruments, just watched it.

AyUmIXx · #14 11th July 2006, 04:38 AM

woww..lots of songs that ayu've performed..
it will be great if she can sing all the songs completely...
that'll be awesome!

Yep, I remember Madonna too. And nope, Wonderland wasn't just played on the DVD, it played it in the Arena at all the shows before the concerts began. What you see on the DVD is how the show actually was.
