What happened to "Life"?

Hi, it has been bothering me for some time now...
why isn't there a PV of Life or why hasn't there been any TV performance of it YET???
If any on you guys can provide ANY information on that, I'will be very grateful.

It was a b-side, they usually don't get any promotion at all.

Life was on the Mirrorocle World single, I don't think she had time to make a PV before the single came out.

Firstly most of us don't really know the reason why Life doesn't have a PV, and secondly Mirrorcle World is not a double a-side single, so Life can be considered as a b-side to this, and for the record Ayu doesn't perform her b-sides on TV.

i realise that singles whose titles only contains one song, ayu will perform that song. But for singles whose titles contains 2 songs, ayu performs both songs. examples.

1) STEP you / is this LOVE? - Both songs were performed on TV promos
2) fairyland - only fairyland was performed on TV promos. alterna wasnt until AT 2006.
3) HEAVEN - HEAVEN was heavily promoted, but Will got nothing.
4) Bold & Delicious/Pride - both songs were promoted equally.

5) Startin'/Born To Be... - both songs were sung on TV promos
6) BLUE BIRD - Only BLUE BIRD was sung on TV promos. Beautiful Fighters wasnt until BEST of CDL 0607)

7) glitter/fated - both songs were sung on TV promos.
8) talkin' 2 myself - only t2m was performed. decision wasnt until CDL 0708 Anniversary

9) Mirrorcle World - only MW was performed on TV promos. Life wasnt until AT2008.
10) GREEN/DAYS - both songs will probably be performed

thats my logic. haha

^ decision of cos was performed but wasnt promoted as heavily as talkin' 2 myself.

My logic is to see the title of the single to determine which song gets promoted. a lame logic though.

But there are also a lot other songs that doesnt have a PV!! Songs like until that Day..., Secret, MY ALL didnt have a PV. So i feel that asking why Life doesnt have a PV is like why I am born a male. It's the way it is.

well I don't think life really deserved a PV. it's not a very good song so i'm glad she didn't bother with one

Life is a good song, imo. Itīs simple and nothing new, but itīs a nice song with nice lyrics. Everything that ayu releases doesnīt have to be masterpieces, you know. And I donīt think life was to PV-ish... If there had been a PV, it would probably be Ayu performing with her band, ala decision. And that was already made.

Yeah, but the difference is Life is an actual b-side on a single, until that day..., Secret and MY ALL aren't.
So these songs aren't really good examples.


I think Life dind't get a PV, 'couse there was simply no time for a PV. Asia Tour, a-nation... all that had to be planned.

The song is beautiful and good lyrics too. But something makes it pretty forgettable, probably the melody. Who knows, Ayu probably forgot about it too. Maybe she's going to perform it this CDL, in encore at least?

I guess Life just isn't a PV-ish song.
i think it's a beautifull song, but somehow it never got to me like her other songs, i kinda forget about it easily....

Until we see an album tracklist, we won't know if Life is a b-side ala Two of Us or teens, or if it's just an unnamed a-side, like alterna. I'm betting it's a b-side though.
