Plus, 24 out of 150 isn't so bad. XD Minus the songs that she has performed but we haven't seen: 18.

18/150 -> 12% of all her songs? :O

She's performed Close to you, and HANABI ~episode II~. I don't have them anymore, but I had live perfomance mp3s of them. I actually got them from some thread on this site, but I don't remember where.

Hanabi ~episode II~ was performed on AYUREADY, Heyx3 and Namahousou wa Tomaranai. It wasn't performed at a concert though.

[truehappiness]

Yes, the list was meant for concert performances only.

I mean, she's had plenty of random TV performances of things, but concerts are really what matters. XD

A lot of the listed songs weren't performed on tv either, it's a shame.

[truehappiness]

For the most part, it's album tracks that don't get the TV-time, which is understandable.

[Aga-chan]

But a-nation is technically a concert, too, no? Because she had performed "HANABI ~episode II~" during one. (Probably in 2003.)

But there's still a chance that she will perform some older, not-yet-performed song during some of her concerts... Like CDL.

[truehappiness]

The list I made was for Ayu-solo concerts, and she has yet to do HANABI ~episode II~ at one of them.

The concerts that feature her as well tend to usually feature only single songs [a-nation '07 was an exception] that she ends up doing at the CDL that year anyway :/

[Rebirthia]

I don't think P.S. II is difficult to sing, i mean, for Ayu. But sometimes its difficult tos ing a song because of the feeling it produces. I like this song... hey - including it in my nano

wow 18 out for 150...
that IS QUITE A LOT
but i want her to perform kanariya ="(

Aga-chan already brought up that point, and truehappiness explained that he didn't include it in the list because it was only songs she never performed at a solo concert. It's on this page, just read the other posts before posting what someone already said :\

But yeah, I wish she would have performed P.S. II or kanariya live at some point in her career. I think criminal would have been amazing as well. Hopefully someday she'll perform the songs we haven't seen her do live at a concert or somewhere we can see the performance.

[Aga-chan]

^I know this is OT, but thank you. (It's Aga though. ^^)

I wish ayu would perform "criminal" along with "Liar".
It would be interesting to know the reason why she chooses not to perform certain songs. I kinda doubt that it's because she can't perform them live. Maybe she doesn't have a vision for the performance or doesn't have any more to tell us about the song?

Just edited it, haha. And no problem

But yeah, it would be interesting to know why she chooses to sing what she does. I always thought she would sing criminal at AT06 but she never did. I'm also sure it has little to do with the vocals. She can only sing so many songs at one concert, and I guess certain ones just don't fit into her image. She is very particular after all.

[waterballoon]

^ Perhaps these songs are too personal?

Liar and criminal seem to be extremely sentimental songs... the lyrics are extremely deep and it seemed as though Ayu has gone through/was going through tough patches of life while writing those songs...

[truehappiness]

My guess is that they don't fit into the themes of the show that she's planning, so they're scrapped indefinitely.

I mean, I don't think I could see Will in AT06..

And with HAPPY ENDING opening AT05, I don't think there was much room for Liar or HOPE OR PAIN. :[

A lot would actually be like 30-40 unperformed songs..

I mean she's had 10 albums... so its only understandable that a bunch would not be performed.

Me niether, it would fit into the part of Me/Secret part of AT07, but AT06 didn't have any Asian theme.

Well, I was thinking of how to fit Liar in and I think I got it... Seems cohesive enough too.


01 Kaleidoscope
02 HAPPY ENDING
03 INSPIRE
04 SURREAL
05 UNITE!
06 GAME
07 my name's WOMEN
08 About You
09 WONDERLAND
10 Liar
11 Moments
12 walking proud
13 CAROLS
14 Catcher In The Light
15 HONEY
16 evolution
17 Boys & Girls

Not much of a change to the setlist with just Liar added in, WONDERLAND could be moved just before Liar to give her time for costume changes etc...
