I think the problem with Talkin' 2 Myself is that both songs were way too hard for the general public to get into.(even though both songs were great) Plus, unless you really follow Ayu, you are not used to seeing her with that style of music. So imagine how much worse it may have sold if it had no promotion - I guess we will never know.

I would like to know too.
I don't know when this satellite shot was taken, but if there were any posters up and around, you would see them in this area of Tokyo -

Usually they change every billboard in the area each week or 2 weeks. I remember seeing that "Stop STD" billboard when I was there as of 2/11; so it seems like this shot should be fairly recent. It's crazy what you can see on google maps nowadays!
