Non-Album Songs and Versions

[Uemarasan]

Hey guys!

I was wondering if anyone might help me complete a list of all the Ayu songs and song versions (not including remixes) that never found their way to albums. The reason I ask is because Ayu could almost put out a B-sides and rare tracks compilation album, especially if we include her pre-Avex stuff. These are what I have so far:

1. Two of Us - found only in Depend on You single
2. LOVE ~since 1999~ - found only in LOVE ~destiny~ single
3. ever free - found only in Vogue single
4. theme of a-nation '03 - found only in & single
5. teens - found only in Startin' single
6. Someday My Prince Will Come - found only in Japanese DVD of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
7. BOSS CM song - found only in BOSS CM

These are what I am unsure about:

1. alterna (in fairyland single) - I've read somewhere that the version in the single is different from the version in the (miss)understood album

2. A Song is Born (in A Song is Born single) - I'm not certain but I don't think the version with Keiko has ever been released on an Ayu album (as far as I know it's only been released on the song-nation compilation album)

3. A Song is Born (TV mix) - how different is this version from the original mix?

4. Ladies Night ~another night~ - should this count in the same way that LOVE ~since 1999~ is a different version of LOVE ~destiny~? Maybe not in the same way as the vocals are the same as in the original

5. WHATEVER Version J - again, is this version almost like a whole different song from Version M?

6. YOU, Depend on You, TO BE, LOVE ~destiny~ (10th Anniversary versions) - new versions of old favorites

[TakaSama]

Life is also now a B-side only song. I don't think Ladies Night ~another night~ counts, although it is awesome.

[PinkShinigami]

I'll try! I do only include other "original" versions, not remixes and so on ^^

01. Two of Us - found only in Depend on You single
02. LOVE ~since 1999~ - found only in LOVE ~destiny~ single
03. ever free - found only in Vogue single
04. theme of a-nation '03 - found only in & single
05. teens - found only in Startin' single
06. Someday My Prince Will Come - found only in Japanese DVD of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
07. BOSS CM song - found only in BOSS CM
08. Life - found on Mirrorcle World single
09. Sotsugyou Shashin - found on A BALLADS
10. part of Me - found on A BEST 2 -BLACK-
11. Endless sorrow - found on Endless sorrow single (This is not like the album version (gone with the wind version), this is much better!)
12. Mirrorcle World - found on Mirrorcle World single
13. A - this is some kind of duet, I don't really remember. It is in a "Avex best" album or something.
14. RAINBOW - found on A BALLADS
15. LOVE ~Destiny~ - found on LOVE ~Destiny~ single
16. a song is born - found on a song is born single, a duet of Ayu and Keiko for "song-nation". Notice that the duet is named "a song is born", and Ayu's solo version is named "A Song is born".

I think it's all. And re-record version:

A BEST:
A Song for XX
Trust
Depend on you
End roll

A BALLADS:
A Song for XX - 030213 Session take 2

Mirrorcle World:
YOU (10th anniversary ver.)
Depend on you (10th anniversary ver.)

Days/GREEN:
TO BE (10th anniversary ver.)
LOVE ~Destiny~ (10th anniversary ver.)

A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~
Who... (10th anniversary ver.) - found on the japanese version only
Who... (Chinese ver.) - found on the overseas version only


Oh, and some songs has "special" versions for PVs, such as GREEN (It has a longer instrumental in the middle), my name's WOMEN (A "unknown" instrumental in the start), and so on, But those are ofcourse only avaiable if you rip the audio. Then there is SEASONS - H-H remix, which is the "ayu-ready" song (only the start).

And don't forget NOTHING FROM NOTHING tracks:

NOTHING FROM NOTHING - single version
LIMIT
PAPER DOLL
Gut it-pez
NOTHING FROM NOTHING - album version

Guess this is complete!

[Keiichi_JPU]

"A Song is born" is on the I am... album
ayu solo version of course

Love ~Destiny~, Endless Sorrow -single version- and Mirrorcle World are on A COMPLETE, but pinkshinigami doesn't seem to include Best Of albums (since you included RAINBOW and stuff as well)

[PinkShinigami]

^ No, I don't, as it took a long time for me to find all the songs of the BEST albums as well xD It took like.. a year, before I figured out that the A BEST tracks weren't just the normal, and I downloaded it >.< So i include it as well xD Oh! You got me remember Who...!

I really dont like the rerecord for end roll, but yeah, it was~

[GRACE]

Life is a b-side, A Song is born on the single features KEIKO, the album version on I am... and A BEST 2-White- does not, the TV Mix is the instrumental iirc

[Uemarasan]

Thanks for the help so far, guys! I included Ayu compilation albums when I made my list, though.

And I completely forgot about Life! My brain must have wandered away for a bit.

I never knew there was an original version of teens! Now THAT is one rare track, and a nice little discovery for the day.

Does an Ayu song called "A" really exist? It's not the A single, right?

There's a song called A featuring Ayumi by an avex band called M・CAT or so..
They are a very old band, and were popular in 1990s.
But if you mean in her own discography, then no, there is not.

[Evolution7/4]

Yeah the teens original mix isn't much different but theres some obvious differences, its a bit more ethereal.

And I am rushing off to listen to A Best End roll!!!!!!! Why isn't t listed as rerecorded??

Because it didn't get a New Mix. Boys & Girls got a New Mix but that didn't list as New Mix either. I guess avex only listed it because A Song for XX, Trust, and Depend on you got a new mix AND new vocal difference.

iirc Secret in glitter/fated single is a bit different than the version on the Secret album.

You mean the "Original mix" is the original, not Ayumi's version, right?

nah, it's exactly the same

[jiarongisme]

Just to add on, the "hey" parts are different. The "hey"s in the album version are more muffled.

Actually, the "hey"s in alterna are more plastic sounding in the album version. O.o

Nope it is Ayu's version. Disc 2 of lif-e-motions were all TRF songs sung by other artists. Ayumi sang teens, and later made an acoustic version for the Startin single.

Thanks for the additional info!

I found the song: it's included in the avex 10th anniversary presents compilation album.

It's fun playing treasure hunter of sorts

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

thanks a lot for the info, i was searching this list of songs to collect them in a mp3 disc
