or maybe it's cause her live singing sucks...

Hey her live singing is good, I think the vocals in this song are just fine.

[Unimatrix Prime™]

Her live vocals are normally quite nice... sure, not like what she sings on her CDs, but it's a lot better than some singers out there

Not That her LIVE Singing sucks... Her LIVE Singing is good.... It is Just how often she stressed her coice... also how heavy is her workloads... u know what... if u often stressed ur vocal, you dun sound nice...also u will tend to go off tune.. heavy workload also affect her voice... coz heavy workload will cause her to sleep lesser and have maybe greater pressure... thus this affect her voice too... so dun blame her for her singing for LIVE performance sometimes... I know ayu dun wan it to happen...

i am sorry if i offended anyone....

it sounds nice... ^_^ i just heard it...

[syntherella]

I think No way to say sounds like a song a band or group would sing... Not really the work of a solo singer, and much less Ayu. Nonetheless, she pulls it off with style, skill and soul!~ As always... (*v*) Thanks to kawai for the preview and pictures!~ I enjoyed them a lot.

Does anyone else think that the last part, when she sang, 'wo wo wo...', sounded a lot like the beginning of forgiveness? It sounded so familiar somehow... I like this song! An unexpected surprise...~

[kawai]

Video download is now available at download forum, thanks a lot!

[HanabiChick]

I wish I could download the performance video, but I don't know what program was used to split it, so I can't download it... I'll have to wait until someone uploads it in another format.

[depend_ayu]

"No way to say" will be title of the new single??? I feel it very differ from her previous single/album's title!!! Normally, title of both single and album of Ayu are noun in 1 word... As I know,never have using sentence on any single or album of AYU

However.....this song is very great....much better than forgiveness

[gakkun]

Why is everyone so critical? ?_? This song is GREAT!!! It's on repeat for me.

Did anybody else notice that this's song's very old school? You hear this sort of stuff alot like 10 years ago. *shrug*

[ruixiong89]

I think it's still a good job. The title kind of reminds me like "Close to You", I don't know. But I do suppose it's not really as good perhaps. To think of it, yar, Ayu should really just stop Ayu Ready and concentrate on her music. Her I am ... album was just fantastic with all the music composed by herself. Simply Excellent so I hope really that Ayumi will concentrate much more on her music. I still that this song is really nice and nice job!

strange, i thought more of "no more words" when i saw the title.

[Larisa-chan]

yeah the title reminds me of "no more words" too! I wonder what the lyrics are. I hope it's nothing like "there's no way to say how much I love you/feel for you/etc"

[joeylam]

Hmmz.. The song is rather okay.. But I expected something more uptempo! haha.. Hmmz.. The song sounds a little "ELT" feel.. Esp the chorus part.. But then whatever Ayu sings.. I'll like!!

[jerms]

I hope it's nothing like "there's no way to say how much I love you/feel for you/etc"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA foreal! i'd be urms. dissapointed.

Sorry for being late but I just wanted to add that this doesn't sound like a ballad at all (though it reminded me of forgiveness on 2:51 when she sang lala..lalala). It's normal paced and full of emotions, as usual. I like this song since #1) She doesn't overuse vibrato and #2) No English.

Personally, it sounds like a perfect farewell song.. again (I thought forgiveness was a farewell song too). The title also concerns me since it IS the longest title of an Ayu song, I believe. Lastly, it seems like you can fill in the song like A Song for XX.. this time it's No Way To Say XX.. sub a word like "Goodbye" for the XX and you get No Way To Say Goodbye

As I explained, vibrato=good. Vibrato shows that someone has a full voice. If there's no vibrato, it sounds strained. Ask any vocal performance student/professional singer, they'll tell you, vibrato is a VERY good thing. Plus since it's live, the studio recording will sound much different. I'm hoping she will use vibrato.

And "End of the World" is the longest title Ayumi's ever had.

Oh and yes, everytime I think of this song, I start thinking of "Sure" by ELT. They sound too much alike, but they're both good!

And L

[nmskalmn]

Isn't just a matter of taste? For some styles of music I prefer voices with a very narrow vibrato and a "white" sound. I like it when Ayu tends toward this way of singing. For other singers and types of music a wide vibrato is preferable to me.

I'm not dissapointed with "No way to say" at all.

[AfanforXX]

:2laugh it's actually a tie, word wise, between "End of the World" and "No way to Say".

[jerms]

..but if you count the "eternal tie. ver." of key..that kinda outbeats it eh?


Key ~eternal tie. ver~

[Larisa-chan]

isn't A Song is Born sort of a long title too? But maybe that song doesn't really count ^.^*
