Question about lyrics
 
Sometimes I notice that Ayu uses an extra word(??) in her lyrics when she repeats a chorus, although the translation is the same. For example, Memorial address:

sayonara ne mou nidoto aenai basho e itta none

However, the repeat of this chorus reads,

sayonara ne mou nidoto wa aenai basho e itta none

Something tells me that the "wa" is sort of just thrown in there, almost like an extra "la." (Unless I'm not hearing a "wa" at all, but rather an "ah." Just like the line kikasete hoshikatta uso de kamawanai kara where it sounds like a "no" was thrown in after "hoshikatta," but I guess that could be like a "whoa?") But then I was reading the lyrics to everywhere nowhere:

dokoemo ikezuni

But the final chorus is,

dokoemo ikezuniita

Here, it almost seems as if the "ita" isn't just thrown in (because of the way the music flows), although I guess it could've been thrown in.

I only wonder if these are thrown in because I once read that "nee" is sometimes thrown in as like a "hey" or "yeah," and that it doesn't necessarily mean a particular word. Just throwing in my background knowledge, there. :P

I hope I was clear on my question. ^^''

*is actually bumping a topic =O*

No one knows? Do I need to restate or reword the question? :P

I don't know if this is the case with Japanese as well, but I know for a fact that in German there are such "filler words" that you can throw into a sentence to either make it sound more polite or more forceful/commanding. Perhaps this is the case here? Not that Ayu is trying to sound more >:O or anything, but she could be putting some kind of emotional tweak to the statement?
