If this is true then I'm more anxious to hear Decision now :D

Hope the CREA part is indeed true.

Wow CREA? I'm excited indeed :) What was the last song done by CREA? It has been awhile huh.

^ Wasn't it... err.. Will?

Or has there been a more recent one...

yeah HOPEFULLY CREA!

would be interesting, since we havent heard from crea a LONG while! :yes

if it's CREA, that's great! i missed Ayu's works....

haha, when i first heard talkin' 2 myself, the first thing i actually said was "CMJK"

OMG crea..
great..!!

When I heard the preview of "talkin' 2 myself" I thought about H/\L, but after hearing the full version, I somehow thought that a CMJK arrangement would be more likely. lol
Hope those are true... Yay for CREA! <3

CREA and HAL ...... YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I wonder if Japanese wiki is more reliable if at all. XD

^well ... they are closer to the sugar ... ;)

Well, I think whoever posted it at ILA got it from there, since the tracklisting looks the same :/

Hmm..

This was written first in a review on Yahoo, I think. http://music.yahoo.co.jp/shop/c/17/avcd31332/1

「decision」作曲 CREA:
まずは作曲者に注目ですね。何と、久々にCREAが手掛けています。
知らない方もいらっしゃると思いますので、改めてここで紹介しますが、CREAとは…浜崎あゆみの作曲者としての名義です。つまり、この曲は浜崎あゆみが作ったことになります。
勿論CREAは元来より作曲に携わったわけではないので、時折リスナーからCREAの作品はメロディーが単調という評価を受ける事もあります。
しかし、CREAは新境地を開拓してきたように思います。「evolution」という曲、あの時代にJ-POPを聞かれていた方なら御存知の方が多いと思いますが、あれはCREAの曲です。サビのメロディの並べ方、確かにぶっきらぼうな印象にも取れますが、よくよく聞くと、あれはJ-POPの中でも初めての挑戦だと思うのですが、CREAには手垢にまみれた作曲家には無い、無垢で意欲的な作家魂があります。
この曲はまだ聞けていないので、ほぼ、CREAという「人物の中の人物」の紹介になってしまいましたが、今回もそのような感性を生かした曲になっている事を期待します。

And on another site, the lyrics of 'decision' have already been posted..

「decision」

空を見上げて僕は
何を思ってたんだろ
それは多分一瞬の事だろう

だんだん速度が速くなって
大人になったようで
“自分”を持つことができたのは
いつからだったのだろうか

このままで終わらせたくない
(my decision!!)終わるまで
自分で決めたんなら
最後まで突き抜こう
La la la...........

ふと我に帰ってみると
今までにあったことが
頭の中でスローに流れる

君はうつむいて言ったよね
子供のようにいじけて
でも内心は我慢してた
僕の大きな存在を

“僕と君”君はどっちを選ぶ？
(my decision!!)決めるまで
僕はいつまでも待つよ
ずっと君を信じてるから

言葉にできない事もある
でもそれが全てじゃない
心に鍵を掛けないで
すべてをさらけ出そう

このままで終わらせたくない
(my decision!!)終わるまで
自分で決めたんなら
最後まで突き抜こう
ずっと君を信じてるから
La la la...........

Maybe someone does have a hold of the promo CD or something, but would the CD list the composers? I wouldn't get your hopes up, guys. =/

Looking at the Excite translation, it looks like that reviewer still hasn't heard decision yet. >>

"decision" Composition CREA:
First of all, it is attention of those who compose. Very, CREA handles it after a long time.
What is CREA though introduced again here because it is thought that not knowing either comes … It is a name as Ayumi's Hamasaki those who compose. In a word, Ayumi Hamasaki made this tune.
Because CREA was not of course involved from originally to the composition, the work of CREA also sometimes has the thing that the melody receives the evaluation of monotony from the listener.
However, I think that it has pushed the frontiers of CREA. It is thought that there are a lot of people who know it is to be asked J-POP in the tune and that age of "evolution", and that is a tune of CREA. The composer covered with dirt from the hand doesn't have, and there is a pure, enthusiastic writer spirit in CREA though it thinks that to be the first challenge in J-POP when hearing it very much though it is possible to take also in how to arrange the melody of the rusting and a certainly snappish impression.
The thing that is the tune that made use of such a sensibility this time is expected though it has almost become introductory of "Person in the person" named CREA because this tune cannot be heard yet.

i want to ask something..
CREA = AYU herself?

Yes. It's her penname as a composer / arranger. It's also the name of one of her dogs, so it's some sort of psuedonym for her [nickname/fake name]~
