Woah woah no no la la?

^ For will there's also: kira and kura.
Which (correct me if I'm wrong) are:
Kurakura: something that is dizzying, like the dizzying brightness of the sun.
Kirakira: something that is sparkling.

They aren't fillers. Proper..."words" haha.

But I like it when Ayu adlibs.

kira kira, hira hira etc are onomatopoeias...

for example kira kira is the onomatopoeia for shining..

I actually really like most of Ayu's empty lyrics.

LOVE 'n' HATE's "Haihaihaihai" sound was new. XD Has Ayu ever used "hai hai"s before?

Also, I'm a big fan of Bold & Delicious' "yagadawo" so no complaints there.

Sometimes, Ayu uses these filler lyrics to set the mood for the song, such as that in Who... and Free & Easy. Even SEASONS' "lai lai" just before the chorus. It's quite beautiful I think.

Oh yes, how can I forget to throw in Moments?

Thanks for that Best reply I've read in a long time!

I feel the same way about movies. Why do people complain when there is no "story" or "plot" or "dialogue"? The purest form of film is the image. Story, plot, and dialogue are literary not cinematic qualities, and even then the purest form of literature is the word.

And like Kendelle said, I never found those words in Ayu's songs "empty" (if I understand correctly what the original poster means by empty = empty of meaning) and thus "filler". Exactly the opposite. The meaning of these words is not found in any literary meaning but in the sound they create and the emotion they convey.

You can't honestly be telling me you love it every single time she does it. -_-
Yes I mean filler. Like a "let me not keep atleast 10 seconds of just instrumental in any song"
Yes it does work in some songs, like B&D, but in other songs, I feel like she could have left it out like in sparkle or Moments.

I've already told you what I think about it. I'm not going to change your mind.

It's not a question of whether or not I love it, but whether or not it works in the song. I feel it's necessary in Moments. Instead of using some other instrument to, as you say, "fill in the void" in the song, they use Ayu's voice as that instrument. I think any other instrument would sound incongruous, too heavy (an electric guitar, for example) or too light (like a flute) in something so midtempo. The voice strikes a good balance, especially since Moments is a song with the vocals as the centerpiece. The instrumentation in the song is really only a guide for Ayu's vocals, which determine the movement and texture here, unlike, say, Free & Easy, wherein it's the instrumentation that moves the song forward. Without Ayu's voice in those parts, Moments would just sound weaker. Ayu's voice adds texture, and if she had put lyrics instead of la la la, then that would really be filler. What else can be added to the words she's trying to convey? It's enough as it is.

[koumori]

It adds to the song, in my opinion! ^^ Also, it's easy to sing along to when you're just getting used to the song~~ ^_~

[noidea]

^ yeah, memorizing yayayayagagagagadadadadawowowowo was easy, so i was able to siong big parts of Bold & Delicious after the first listen xD

[taskinillusion]

It doesn't bother me at all. It works for her. As long as it fits in the song and doesn't seem out of place, I think it's fine!

and all the "yeah yeah yeah" she alread has?!

[zyoeru]

^ Can you imagine how awkward evolution would be:
WHOA YES WHOA YES WHOA WHOA YES YES YES.

'nough said. xD

Well, I think the fillers work, our singing voice is what a chirp is to a bird. It's just an instrument, and it should be used. Not really empty.
Plus the ad libbing for B&D is so~ catchy.

People just find whatever they can to complain about Ayu imo. xD

[gogoayu]

I for one LOVE those parts. they are the BEST!!

Sparkle's NO NO NO is so damn catchy and sexy. everytime i hear it i just go "no no no"

i prefer that over words. what she gonna say? ya-me-te!! ya-me-te!!! ???

you're right. she should just have a song with nothing but adlibbing, why the hell would she ever need lyrics? Why not just instrumentals and adlibbing the whole time?

^ I SEE HER LATEST COMPILATION NOW:

Avex trax: A AD LIB.
