Hidden line in Pride?
 

I don't know if anyone else ever noticed this or if it was ever discussed, but after Ayu sings "yuu shoujo ni" in the first verse, I hear her whispering something. I turned up the music loud at that one part, but still can't make it out. Anyone else know about this or am I going crazy?

Hey, I've been wondering the EXACT SAME THING!!
I can't make it out either.. You can hardly hear it! >__o
I'm not sure if it's in the same place as you, but it's in the beggining parts of the song.

I wonder what Ayu says..

Sounds kind of like "Listen."
I dunno, I've been wondering since I've first heard the song too.

It sounds more like the chorus cue that they do, and they're saying "son", as in "sonzai".

I always thought it was LISTEN too LOL

i'm also hearing listen but maybe we're wrong

I hear "listen" in the beginning as well but I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about.

That's what I thought, but it didn't sound completely sound like that.

Okay, since you all said it's [possibly] "listen"... *picks Pride on iTunes*

Zomg it DOES sound like "listen"! XD

Is it in the instrumental too? I only have the instrumental on my computer, and I'm too lazy to get my CDs out.
(Even though they're only 3 feet away. :shrug )

It's on the instrumental!!!! She IS saying listen!

Never noticed this before...yup. I hear "Listen" too.

yeah I never considered that hidden ._.

me neither, lol.

I always thought it was "Listen". *shrug*

Just for this, I got open my player and turned on Pride. ^^;

I've noticed this before as well. I just thought it was a musical thing, but now that I pay attention, it DOES sound like Listen. And yes, it is on the instrumental.

I'm waiting for some creepy person to say "I think hamasaki is telling us to listen to our pride"

I think hamasaki is telling us to listen to our pride

I think hamasaki is telling us to listen to our pride.

Edit: Shoot. I lose.

[offtopic]I just peed my self laughing HAHAHAHA <3[/offtopic]

^ Haha we got two people battling out the "I think Ayu wants us to LISTEN" :P

Welcome to the world of me pwning you/people.

I'm hearing "listen" as well.

I luv the way she says LISTEN! It's like PAY ATTENTION to my song NOW! Yes Miss Hamasaki :D

I've heard it too, but never really thought anything of it. Maybe she knew the single wouldn't sell well and people might not like it, so she wants people to LISTEN to it anyway. XD

Sweetbox says listen..so its probably listen

Wow, I actually guessed at what might have been English, and got it right? This is strangely bizarre.
I'd hate to say it, but... I think Hamasaki is telling us to listen to our pride. :yes

lol! Yep it does sound like Listen. yes yes listen to pride! its a gd song

Wow, I never knew she could put in English words that makes sense for once! :D It makes me happy. She might be the next to produce and English album under IDJ and flop.

Seriously though, I would love it if it was "listen". It shows that Ayu is learning or has learnt or is curious about English. She might just pull an Exodus wxcept with success.

Eh.

Ayu has no interest in foreign markets though, hm? :p

I'd rather only see her in Japan than see idiots badmouth her in America ;-;

Yeah, I always thought it was Listen.

a) it's definately listen. It is on sweetboxes version. Jade clearly singles "listen"
b) I thought it was really obvious...
c) she also sings "I want my pride". She does it in the live version, but if you listen carefully when she starts to sing "lalalala" you hear one where she goes "Iwama praaaaaaaaaaa".

By the way, she didn't make it up... she copied Jade.

Yeah, she says "Listen...", like "Listen to my story".

yeah i didnt even notice at all.. perhaps check from SWEETBOX's version?

I think it´s LISTEN^^

It's definitely "Listen", and I never considered it "hidden".

wow..i never notice that since i don't like that song

I always thought that it was "listen" as well.

Yeah, I just checked now... I never noticed before, but I don't listen to this song too much... it sure does sound like Listen (before I notice what you all said)

Mm..I think we got enough people confirming that it's "Listen" o_O Haha..

It's Listen and I heard it and understood it the first time I listened to it...whats the mystery?

D: the mystery is why people keep saying she's saying 'listen' even though 8 other people have stated it's listen and can prove it.

yeah i've always wondered what that was and "listen" sounds about right

i noticed that too...and thought of making a thread on it, but i was too lazy. i'll have to go listen to it again as i couldn't hear any word at all when i heard it before.

^ Haha, you didn't LISTEN closely enough before. :P /pun

Wait, it's clear on ayu's version but i just checked Jade's version and when is it? I don't think I can hear it

Jade's version doesn't have it.. she has another word but I'm too lazy to check

That's what I hear.

i hear "glisten." :rolleyes

Glisten makes me think of the winter holiday...

"Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'? In the...something, snow is glistenin' " :laugh

Jade says "Tell me" :D

I listen a girl (not ayu, sounds like an american woman) who says "Listen"

But does she say "I want my pride"? I hear "Over my pride" and she also says it on forgiveness. That's one of the single lines I get when I listen to it.

I've also heard the "Listen", it's clear enough to say it's a "Listen".
But no reason to say it's hidden.
*+D.N.A.+*

yeah. she said "i want my pride". double check with her performance at FNS Music Festival.

Performance at FNS Music Festival; Pride.

Te he! :P

To future posters, we have come to the conclusion that Ayu says "listen". ( EXCUSE ME for thinking it's hidden. ^^;; It's just she's so quiet! X) )

That's weird, I never heard the "I want my pride" thing. *grumbles* SWEETBOX this, SWEETBOX that... *wants CREA back really bad*

i think it's "listen"

sorry for doule post =p

who says i want my pride?

Ayu. In both the performance and the CD. On the CD however it's blurred, you can only "Iwamapraaaaaaaaaaaa"

I' pretty sure Jade says Listen too ^o) She jsut says it normally as part of the song... Maybe it is "tell me".

Either that, or something like 'No no my pride'.

LOL ...XDD nice.

yea..it's totally Listen

Are we talking about this being sung at about 3:02 into the song?

Yeah she says "Tell me"

Anyone notice after B&D's 2nd YAGADAWO you hear something like "Feel me". It's somewhere in the first 15 seconds. It's really weird.

All I hear is "fff" lol

I heard "Listen" in Pride since the first time I heard it, and I never even wondered about it :shrug

If you've heard Sweetbox's version (Jade). She says "I wanna feel Bold & Delicious"
Ayu has "B&D" in a robotic voice o_O So I'm guessing she says "I wanna feel"

I've always thought she sang "Wasup?"XD :P Because I couldn't hear the actual words... But now I know it's "Listen" :yes

And about "I want my pride" I heard that right after I had seen the performance some discussed about earlier...

Hahaha... That'd be so wrong yet so funny! XD Anyway, i knew it all along that it's "Listen" when i first heard it. At first, i thought it was "Let's say".

I dun't know! *Shrug* Sumetime i sing it as "Let's say" sound more to it for me. Does anyone think it kinda sound like she's sayin' "Let's say" too?:(

That man behind Ayumi, playin' the volin is so annoyin' ! He kept shakin' his leg the whole time!:tired The way he sit is so HIDEOUS!!!

It always sounded like "waza" to me...not like that makes any sense.

Naw...they're left over from Sweetbox's version of Pride -- it's definitely "Listen" and "Tell me."
