I would guess ANEKI passed on very close to GUILTY's release, possibly during planning for CDL. It must have been hell to perform that song with her death having happened so soon. (on top of the hearing loss too)
Just checked, and yeah... it was fall of 2007 not too long after Ayu's birthday that she was told. So sad. This would also mean that untitled was probably produced for the album last.
From the entry translated by Deli:
Quote:
Having these kinds of feelings, the end of the year was a blur for me.
With a feeling of nothingness, I went through a number of events, and I ended up building a bigger & bigger wall around me.
That was how Countdown Live was.
The show Aneki was looking forward to.
After the show on the 31st finished, my heart was ruled by huge anxiety, something I haven't felt since then until now.
...
Anyway... even if you just watch the DVD, since there was alot of crying during the show, so you can probably understand.
One way or another New Year's Day arrived, thanks to the love of all the guests there, and the many wonderful staff & band members and dancers, but I was still always thinking.
Can I never sing again like I used to?
Would that concert become my last?
