^ Even if a song is written for her, that's still a demo. If she is not part of the composing credits, she probably isn't even in the studio while the song is created, which is very normal. As far I remember, she said a couple of times that she gets her demos without lyrics and then she writes around the melody.

Also, most of her western base songs have demo (Wake Me Up, Tell Me Why) and so on. Besides those, I think the closest that you might get to an Ayu demo, besides early mixes, would be those AX_WAT_156 or whatever that were upload on AVA.

^^yeah but it is different for her most of the time. You're completely right with what you say but most of these don't get out, compared to these Kumi ones, which already have lyrics and stuff. You know what I mean?

edit: tho, to me, what has been posted for Kumi (like on the page before) aren't really demos for me, but full blown songs.

It's what's standing on the wall behind.

She finished shooting something different.
A "cold" shooting in a skyscraper.
Now shooting inside?
Probably the 2nd PV.

When composers makes a demo song they usually have a demo singers, sometimes it's one of the composers as well. All of this is marketed as a demo to potential artists to record the song.





To use few examples.

NEW AGE from FAKY probably has a version with Kumi's vocals, since she's one of the writers of the song. It doesn't mean that she recorded for her own use, as for that it can be still called a demo if it ever come out. This is just how music.

Also, this is probably her way to own her material as well. She probably doesn't get much money from POP DIVA, which wasn't written by her, but it's a different case for Lollipop where she has credits for it.

---

^ Maybe it's just Kill, either way it would "match" with the message from her jacket in the other picture.

And yeah, it gives WATCH OUT/HAIRCUT vibes for sure. The outfit is cool, and the choreo is probably from Fuko, since it seems like she's one of the dancers there.

^^yeah, but I still think that most of Ayus demos, or demos from japan, don't have that in general. The FAKY one is different because Kumi wrote it herself, as for ayu: she always said she gets some type of melody or instrumental and writes the lyrics.

Demo songs with lyrics usually sell both (as seen in cases of Kumis western demos). And I think there are more instrumentals without any lyrics then songs with guide tracks. RUN DEVIL RUN by GG was a Kesha song, but she didn't saw it fit so it had lyrics because it was in a different stage of production - as it probably is with most demos. Either they are considered a full song (and that is why they have lyrics in an unpolished stage) or they are just instrumentals. Both exist.

.. so, it still does not change my original post. Most of such demos don't exist for ayu outside of what she shared.

I hate those pants/chaps/whatever you want to call them. Like, I want to burn them. They are so insanely unflattering.

Imagine if it were Killer Money and it criticized capitalism like Rina Sawayama's XS (while the fc edition is being sold at 11k yen)

Yeah, it's the cold part of the shooting she mentioned before.
She also says she never shot in such a deep pool before in her 20 year career.
And calls herself a Kyoto Kappa.
