I find the new single to be really good, both the new songs are great and I'm enjoying the remix as well.
Talkin' 2 Myself
the deep bassline sounds fresh for Ayu & the strings and the overall mood of the song is very interesting, and I really like the flow & energy of the chorus.
4/5
Decision
the strong guitar sound really suits the song, and I'm really captured by the emotion in her singing. especially in the chorus. the song suffers from being a bit too similar to Talkin' 2 Myself tho.
3,5/5
Fated -orchestra version-
very beatiful new rendetition of the emotional song. the simplistic strings really bring out her voice. one of the better orchestra versions of ayu out there.
4/5
overall: an excellent single, but I would have hoped for 2 songs with different styles/moods, and maybe saved "decision" for the next album or something.
overall grade:
4/5
still, & >>>> T2M. & or A will probably remain as the best Ayu singles ever (& = three great songs with awesome PVs + one unique & interesting extra b-side track. not to mention a great single cover <3).unless she releases a new maxi-single with 4 new awesome songs with contrasting styles. I like variety
