Missing lyrics in TODAY

Not sure if anyone has asked about it here, but it’s bugging me for years and I still haven’t figure it out.

Before TODAY goes into the chorus part, Ayu will sing a “いび” (Yee-Bee) which non of the official lyric has mentioned about, I tried to convince myself it doesn’t mean anything, just like WOW WOW YEAH YEAH in her other songs, but the more I listen to the song, the more I’m curious and certain it’s not just some meaningless words, but I just don’t know what it is.

Anyone got the answer to this?

Oh I never knew this wasn’t in the official lyrics haha.

I’ve always heard it as “with you” so that’s what I convinced myself it was, but now I’m curious too! Haha

I think it sounds like it could be 日々 (hibi), which means "days". It fits the title, I guess. But we'll probably never know for sure! For all we know, it could just be an adlib-like sound, and not an actual word haha

Oh, I always heard it as "uh-uuuh" or some other ad-lib, but I guess it's another "Beautiful Fighters" all over again for us hahahah

It’s an ad lib, if you if you make an “ooh ooh” sound yourself with your lips slightly rounded you’ll make the exact same sound.

It sounds like an "eeh-hee" or something. Yes, I think it's an ad-lib too.
