Never Say Die is one of the tracks from Yui's 5th double A-side single, It's All Too Much/Never Say Die. Both songs are used as theme songs for the movie, Kaiji. The single was released on October 7, 2009 and debuted as #1 on the Oricon charts.
What I like about this song is its catchy melody. But, of course, Yui is perhaps the only Jpop artist who never seems to go wrong with melody. Even when she's belting out rock songs, she always manages to catch me off guard with the melody. This, I think, is the reason why I find myself listening to her more than I do other Jpop artists with the possible exception of Nakashima Mika (she wins by default since she's my fave).Anyway, the pv for Never Say Die, like most of Yui's music videos, is set in school. Two girls are apparently dating the same guy and decide to settle matters through a game of soccer. Interpersed among these clips of the school girls is Yui rocking out with her backup band. It's not one of the best videos I've seen but I wasn't expecting anything super. I've never known Yui to release really interesting pvs so this wasn't a surprise.
