Butterfly

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Omy, yeah.. I think this thing is really... yeah, but okay.

My friend A. loves J-music.
Yesterday we had a break and she told me which music she likes.
I said: Oh! I love J-pop & J-rock too...
A: Do you have a favorite?
I: Yeah, I really love Ayumi Hamasaki
A.: Ah! Ayumi! I have a song of her, would you like to hear it?
I: Course

> Ai Ai Ai, I'm your little butterfly <

I: A. Ehm, Ayumi never had a song called butterfly. This is DDR's song.
A: Well, Ayumi covered it once...

Ehm yeah.. is what she said true?

[Nukaru]

Ayumi never covered 'Butterfly'.
The orginal version was just tagged incorectly in filesharing-programs like Kazaa or Emule and then all this rumors came up, that it's Ayu's song.

But she never sung this song and definately never covered it.

[koumori]

No way! @-@

It's all been a liiiieeee....?! LOL!

I feel betrayed..XD

[jiarongisme]

Some people always have this misconception saying that Butterfly is covered/sang by Ayu. So nope, not true.

[Hachimitsu]

Will this annoying rumour ever die?

[chloeM]

oh well, someone must have mistaken it

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Thanks guys, I tought I became crazy xD

This songs belongs to Smile DK (DDR is the composer, right?), I heard it alot just before I began to listen to Ayumi, and then I found a song with the tittle "Ayumi Hamasaki - Butterfly". And I actually found it many places on the web. Then I looked in the description of the song, and I gone endless mad.

"This song in no way belongs to me. It belongs to the original artist who is written in the title. This song is for sample purposes only, if you like the song please obtain it legally by buying it at a local store to show graditude to the artist who made it. I do not give out copies of any songs uploaded. Wallpaper also belongs to the orignal artist."

WHAT? This is a big, fat lie, as this uploader obviously haven't bought the album/single himself. I have the Smile DK album, that the son belongs to, so I know this isn't true. I got so mad!

I don't know where the rumor started, or why, but it isn't Ayu's song, and she hasn't covered it. It doesn't even sound like her, and there is CLEARLY 2 voices!

And it's really annoying, look at this:

[ayu is startin]

It's amazing how many people still get fooled by this song!

The voice is too high pitched even for Ayu xDD

I think the only covers she's done are: Sotsugyu Shashin, Bold & Delicious, Pride, rainy day, teens, In the Corner, Beautiful Day and Someday my Prince will come.
She might have a 1-2 other covers but I can't think of them right now and they're the main ones of her career.

Although I do wonder if NEXT LEVEL's tracks will make this rumor sound more authentic?

[koumori]

My friends all think that Ayu sung Butterfly, and they feel happy that they can listen to my favourite singer without having to know Japanese. I'm not going to pop their bubble; it's not like they're really that bothered XD

They always thought they couldn't get involved with my Ayu music love-love, so I think they would be disappointed if I told them now that it's not her. ^__^;

[AyuHamasaki01]

some people are too ignorant .... (-_-'') Luckily we know better

[zyoeru]

This rumour about Butterfly really really annoys me...even someone who isn't a fan should recognise that it's not her voice.
Also all you'd have to do is scan down her discography at wikipedia to know it isn't her song.

But it's really irritating, I remember ranting to Jpopasia about how Butterfly wasn't her song, and they said that google said it was. Pfft, it really annoys me. :p

I totaly thought the same, when I read the question.

When I first listend to the song... there also stand's that Ayu is the singer. And.. I listen to it.. and thought... "This is not Ayu... it is not her voice".

Sure was. I didn't know til I heard a Sweetbox best album and it was on there, it was so weird because I knew I'd already heard the tune before but couldn't place it was Ayu! xDD

The chorus is something like "In the corners of my mind/you're standing at the door/In the corners of my mind/you're asking me for more/In the corners of my mind/lalalalalalala(some lyrics I can't remember/In the corners of my mind/I'm still in love"

Not as deep as Ayu's lyrics
