"Startin'" to like it yet?
 

Startin' was amazing to me ever since it came out!

It's so high energy! Makes you wanna get up and shake it. :O

yea, i always loved startin' too.

Yes.. Ive always liked Startin'

same here! I just loved how much fun the song was! I honestly feel powerful whenever I listen to Startin'. Although my love for it has simmer down a bit.

Startin' was one of the songs that got me hooked to ayu. Though it is #37 on my last.fm XD!

I liked "Startin'" from the beginning, too, basically. But I have to say that before/since the release of "Secret" I came to appreciate "Startin'" even more. ^^ Same goes for "Born To Be...".

Oh YES!

I hated it when it was first released, as I had only heard SURREAL and Dearest and I thought she had gone too "heavy metal", but I really liked it after... I dunno, watching the pv when it came out!

I remember everyone hated startin when the single was released (which was when I first heard ayu), but I fell in love with it since the first time :D

^really?
that was the time where I came to really know ayu!

we're bros!

Always liked it.. video is awsome too.

lol we both have Startin' avatars!

I STILL LOVING THE SONG and the video is one of my favorites i love the color, the digital FX and i love the take when ayu fall to the ground from the high

My favorite part is when she takes the mask from that guy in the videostore.
then she's just like =P

Still hate it. Hehe.

Yea, Startin' is hot! :vhot

the question is: HOW HOT?!

reeeeeallly hawt!!!

Startin' is like the most energetic song ayu has lol
So that makes it reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal hot hahaha

^ yes!

I showed it to my sis and she said "It sounds like a Britney song" XD
Britney can't match this!

I've always liked the song, but the PV is still terrible. :P

I was indifferent to it for a while, but then I put on shuffle for my ipod, and it came on, and I was totally like, OMG this is a good song.

Now it's like a top played song for me.

Oooo low blow. Thats an insult. :headache

Startin' is haaaard.

I think Startin' is awesome, I've always liked it.

I agree, since the lyrics you know, make sense :innocent

Funny thing is...She meant it well!
I think she meant the old britney tho.

I always really liked that song. It was a good song befor.. and I still like to listen to it.

ummh... old thread huh?

^ Haha
People keep comparing those two videos, just because they both have exploding motorcycles and kinda same colors. Besides that, they're really different. (Big difference: Toxic-sl*tty, Startin'-sexy)

Startin' is fu**ing amazing.

I was indifferent to it before, but it's now my #6 most played on iTunes.

It's number 4 on my extensive ipod list. I love the song. I loved it ever since it came out, and I love the extreme cheesiness of the video.

Ha, I always liked it....I even liked the video, too, because it made me laugh. Plus those butterfly glasses were hot.

Mediocre, at best.

And sorry, it can't be compared to "Toxic". Toxic is infinitely much better. :cool

But yep, the butterfly sunglasses looked cool on ayu, as well as her black outfit+hat at the graveyard. But the whole rest of the video was garbage.:dead2 The crap CG was quite unexcusable imo.

^ I dont see how that awful jump off of the motorcycle is better cgi than Startin. Plus Britneys stumbling through lasers was so poorly made. Startin doesnt have super cgi, but it's on the same level as Toxic.

i like Startin' a lot! it's full of energy when i first hear it. but now i think its pretty noisy =X

the song is strong...and hyper! haha i like it

I love the song, but yeah, the PV was just so unbelievably cheesy it was hilarious. XD

I've liked Startin' from the first listen and watching the PV had me hooked on it.

startin' and born to be is my favorite single 2006..
i love startin' upbeat song.it make me want dancing if i heard this song

startin is so incredibly high energy.....i just want to dance to it....and i hate dancing....thats how good it is Lol

It's the best song ever! My favorite Ayu song and my cell's ring tone. =D

And the PV rocks everyone's socks as well.

I really like it)

Yeah,Startin' is awesome!

i like startin', it is a really good song

I love Startin' :yes I also like the PV :yes
It's one of my favorite Ayu songs :yes

:P

Startin' is actually my favourite Ayu song. :O

Startin' was always awesome to me. I've played it so much around the house my parents and my brother used to hum it subconsciously.

at first I wasn't too crazy about "Startin" but after hearing it on "Secret" the song sorta grew on me & now it's one of the better songs on "Secret" :yes

I'm not comparing Toxic's MV with Startin' PV, just the songs. The fact toxic's MV is crap is not an excuse for Startin' PV to be crap. Utada has a much older (by older I mean a difference of years) futuristic PV that has much more tasteful CG effects. At times, Startin' PV looked like Donkey Kong Country CGs for SNES, so grotesque were the color gradations in the CGs.

i lurve Startin' & it really make me wanna dance!!!
the PV was sooooooo hilarious~~~~ XDDDD
whenever i listen to Startin', would sub-conciously think of the part when ayu "bang" those ppl in the car..the face of 'em was so hilarious too! XD

It's not my favorite rock song by Ayu, but I really love the introduction of the song. It's alright, I could listen to it once in a while.
I still haven't grown to like the PV.

Yeah, I admit ayu dancing on the graveyard by swinging her dark hat was sexy, indeed. And the "I'm going to drill this * wall by my side because I'm hella cool with these glasses" looked sexy too.

I still want those butterfly glasses.

Anyhow, watching the PV always put a smile on my face, because the cheesiness is kind of endearing.

yea my brother does that too....since i listen to ayu so much....he's become familiar with the tunes...and he'll subconciously start whistling or humming the songs.....IT'S GREAT!!

I loved Startin', I love it and I will love it^^ It's simply one of my favorite song, it's so catchy!!!!

Ah ok, I read it as if you liked the Toxic graphics much better than Startin', which was weird to me since they're so similar. :P

I tried to look for comparisons between Britney and Ayu on YouTube, but the only thing I found was a video of Britney's Gimme More with ayu's song Startin'. I dont see anything there but a sl!ttyer version of 1 LOVE and my name's WOMEN combined. :laugh

Anyway I loved Startin' since it first came out! My friend actually had a party one night and even though she was scared, she played the song. You wouldnt believe how many people got up and danced -- for fun and with their boy/girlfriends. (:lech) If you walked in or saw everyone dancing without hearing the music, youd think it was a popular song by a current-day singer!

I liked it when it came out. Then I got tired of it. Now I like it again. :)

I have always liked it, but everytime I hear it, I like it more and more LOL

:D :heart

It got trashed for its PV. It was the first song I heard from Ayu and still lovin it. *still wondering why people hated the PV* its not that bad, cheesy but not terrible.

Nice song, horrible PV.. >___<

apparently the people who like it all post here..haha...i do remember some people not realy liking it...bah o welll

Startin' does feel a lot better in Secret because it link until that Day... and 1 LOVE (which are both terrific songs)...:D

i always liked the song, and i enjoy watching the PV also. i dunno what people dislike about it so much but i think its funny

I love the song and the PV. she looks so good in it, she should do her hair that way again.

yes I have always loved that song, the music is just awesome,
the pv is maybe a little over the top, but that's what makes it fun I guess :D

At first I liked the song but then I guess I played it too much and got sick of it and started not liking the song...I would skip the track on secret till recently I listened to secret again and forgot to skip it...I started to like it again. I used to think it doesn't fit in after until that day... but it actually does. I guess now the only song I skip on secret is beautiful fighters. I never liked that song and I never will.

I began to like it..
even changed the blogskin to it.. hahaz..

I like Startin', especially when AYU sing it live. But the PV is suck
