It's from Best of CDL documentary! Just watched it again. And actually it was during rehersal, so it's not really a stage fail. That documentary is so good. I loved to see how the outfit change happens during the concert.

I know it's a commonly accepted fact that untitled ~for her~ is about her friend who committed suicide, but has it ever been confirmed officially? I found a TA post where she said that she lost someone important in November 2007.

I also have seen a post (in the Party Queen discussion thread) that says that the exact date of her friend's death is October 25. Is it true or is it just an assumption?

I'd appreciate all the details and info that you could provide. As in, not just the facts, but also evidence and the reasoning why you think it's true. I have read around 30 pages of posts from around that time, but haven't found anything yet.

Edit: Okay, I found a thread that says it's mentioned on the dedication page in the booklet. No info about the suicide though, was it just a speculation because of the lyrics?

^ your post made me remember how much i love untitled for her... story 2, it's such a masterpiece

[Ryusei]

I guess it's just because of the lyrics "you decided that day..." like it was her choice so it must've been suicide..

[truehappiness]

I think her emotional state at the time of CDL07-08 said quite a bit too. We've had no real hard confirmation, much like for teddy bear/Memorial address.

We know that around the time that it happened, her staff hid it from her until she was nearly done with GUILTY in LA. I think untitled was never originally part of GUILTY until she found out.

Now that's an interesting bit of information! Where did it come from?

[truehappiness]

I think it was mentioned in one of the really long blog entries that her staff hid it from her.

Oh, I see. I'll try to find it tomorrow then, because the only post about it I found on her TA blog is this one:

無題

2007-11-05 15:52(JST) | ayu

つい先日、とても大切な人が亡くなった。

正直に言うと、昨日の私は、とてもじゃないけど歌えない。。。
と収録直前までビクビクしていた。

けれど、控え室にあるモニターで、みんなが少し緊張した顔や、
とても嬉しそうな顔をしてスタジオに入って来る様子を眺めて
いたら、しっかりしなければ、と思った。

そしたら、なんとか最後まで歌いきる事ができた。

だから、みんな、本当にありがとう。
いつも、ありがとう。

私がステージにあがれるよう、背中を押してくれた
ミカジョンも、ありがとう。

Btw, the title of this post also means "untitled"

[truehappiness]

I think it was posted about a year later. Let me find it.

I LOVE CDL 07-08! You have to watch it! She looks phenomenal in it and I really adore the performance of untitled 〜for her〜. It's so emotional.

I never watched CDL 07-08 either but i did watch untitled ~for her~ on youtube multiple times and it always makes me cry

After more digging, there are some people that thought it was Ogata Ayumi at the time... Which one of them was Aneki? Or could she refer to both of them like that?

[Ryusei]

Who are bancho and ohji? There's a ** and *** after their names but no explanation

I guess the OP forgot to copy and paste the ending part:

**Bancho refers to Kanako Miura, ayu's nail artist

***Ouji her Chief Manager who is always with her~~

Aneki is Ayumi Ogata. It's a nickname. They also costarred with Ayu in Twins Teacher, a drama from the early 90s when she was an idol. A good amount thought it could be Natsuki, but we know she's still around.

[rainbow_smile]

So the person who died in 2007 is actually Ayumi Ogata? And how do we know that Natsuki is still around? Sorry for all these questions, I wasn't around at that time ^^;

[truehappiness]

Natsuki still posts on Instagram and Twitter under the name Natsukikey usually.
