Kuu should have performed if not posed together with The Minions , that would have been fun

Not at home yet, but maaaaaaybe we're getting another version on an upcoming album?

[Gustavopc]

I thought of an album version, but then it'd be a completly different video lol There's not much to change from what we got hahaha

Since there's no DVD for this release I guess we'll have to wait till her next release to find out indeed

[Corvina]

I am curious what that means.

Ai no Uta today was ( at least) a live collaboration with a pianist and a cellist.
But it is getting ridiculous. Just sing your new release. How the hell should the public know about it.... And you have more hit songs than this one...

Her FC announced today, that not only her new single and her tour audio was released today, but also this:
https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/id...pp=itunes&ls=1

What is this?
The original recordings of the songs from the tour setlist this year?
But ...why?

Akiko Wada posted this photo after the performance on her Instagram:

[Gustavopc]

ayu has also done this with her CDLs, it's just a playlist with the setlist, but I don't get the point either hahahahah

They look lovely together

[Corvina]

Yeah, totally pointless as you can do that yourself as a playlist.

Alekunwashere on Instagram translated some part of the lyrics from NEVER ENOUGH by ear:

Wonder when I will be able to go
Over the hill
Where I can see the stars
But every time I lose the way
Even if I scream, I can't reach it
And walk the hard way
It's never, never enough

I will stay true

There could be mistakes as it's by ear, but I hear mostly the same.

That dress is gooorgeous! Love seeing her wearing an outfit that it's not black for a TV show.

NEVER ENOUGH gives me Beyonce's 1+1 in 1991 with Can't Let Go from Mariah Carey, because of the over-the-topness. Love the song and the PV, it's simple but the fact that is one single shot makes it more interesting.

About FNS, I wasn't expecting her to sing NEVER ENOUGH, this is not a place for her to sing her brand new song, bu gurl... Give Ai no Uta a rest. This is the fourth time she performs Ai no Uta there, we know it's your signature song, but you do have some other hits like you, Moon Crying, Suki de Suki de Suki de. I'm just not that upset because she also sang another song.

I still hate the way she sings Ai no Uta since 2012, dragging the notes. Nowadays it's like she doesn't know how to sing this song without doing it.

[melissalove]

Ai no uta yet again :/. Don’t get why kuu and ayu won’t give their over performed hits a rest.. I guess that’s who they are.

[se7entheaven]

^ can’t agree more. Especially when she doesn’t sound that good singing that way. She should stop.

[chocopockymaster]

Seriously, the way she lags behind the music when she sings Ai no Uta nowadays DRIVES ME UP THE FRRAKING WALL

[Corvina]

W FACE Tour charted at #3 yesterday and went up to #1 today for DVDs!



Official lyrics for NEVER ENOUGH are out:

Spoiler:

NEVER ENOUGH

Lyrics by KODA KUMI, MATTHEW TISHLER, PHILIP BENTLEY, AIMEE PROAL
Composed by MATTHEW TISHLER, PHILIP BENTLEY, AIMEE PROAL

何気ない 言葉が
私の 心を
One touch, one look
震わす my mind

人生は one time
演じる 鬱ぎ込む
not like that そう生きたくはない
1秒1秒立ち止まり
問いかけては going my way


星が見える 場所（ところ）へ
いつか行ける over the hill
But every time 迷って
I can't go,,, 叫んでも
Walk the hard way
It's never, NEVER ENOUGH

本当は 信じたい
守りたい 叶えたい
未来 夢
I just can't let go

裏切り 後悔
So when I get it
抱きしめて
涙も 心に刻まれてく

1秒1秒 紡ぐ fantasy
A thousand years
先も give my way

光が差す 場所（ところ）へ
願い込めて over the hill
But every time 迷って
I can't go,,, 叫んでも
Walk the hard way
It's never, NEVER ENOUGH

まだ見ぬ 世界を
I want it, I want it all

生きる意味を 答えを
もっと先の over the hill
優しい光が I can go 照らすの
I'll stay true

It's never, NEVER ENOUGH
It's never, NEVER ENOUGH

I made a quick translation:

Spoiler:

Casual words
Touch my heart
One touch, one look
Shakes my mind

I only live once
So I don’t want to feel down
I don’t want to live like that

I stop for a second
And then, wondering, I’m going my way

To the place where I can see the stars
Someday I will be able to go over the hill
But because every time I get lost
I can’t go …even if I shout
And walk the hard way
It’s never, never enough

I really want to believe
I want to protect, I want to achieve
My future dreams
I just can’t let go

There are betrayals and regrets
So when I get it
I embrace it
While tears are carved in my heart

A fantasy that spins for a second
For a thousand years
Gives my way the direction to the future

To the place which is drowning in light
Treasuring my wishes, over the hill
But because every time I get lost
I can’t go …even if I shout
And walk the hard way
It’s never, never enough

A world I haven’t seen yet
I want it, I want it all

The answer to the meaning of life
Will also be over the hill
The gentle light I can go (to) shines
I will stay true
It’s never, never enough
It’s never, never enough

This is Random but the Pantone Color of the year 2018 is Ultraviolet. Giddy giddy now..

[maze]

thanks for the lyrics, those are really great

[freedreamer]

NEVER ENOUGH is very simply and minimal and I think it really does what it intended to do. Simple is beautiful.
