Good idea.


I like the title, I just think it should be "talking to myself" instead of "talkin' 2 myself". With the 2 in it, it seems like she's trying to hard.

I didn't understand how "talkin' 2 myself" matched the lyrics, but I think I just need to reread them. Get back to me on this.

[Coelacanth]

I'm used to it already.

[Luv ~Venus~]

It's just a surprising title coming from "Ayumi".

I like the title as how it is. To me, I think Ayu chose "talkin' 2 myself" as the title instead of "talking to myself" is just styling it up the title a bit to make it a little bit interesting.

Well to me it sounds more of a stream of consciousness. Trying to figure out what she wants in life and trying to find answers. That's why the writing style is informal, to me.

Seriously, I guess it's called 'talkin' 2 myself' as the lyrics say about how frustrated we tend to be becouse of all the hardship the world brings and how we literally start talking to ourselves in our thoughts in an attempt to expres our anger, disappointment and bitter, and to try to figure out reasons and answers.

Looking at the song that way, it's hard for me to come up with a more suitable title.

Perhaps, 'INSIDE'.
Or 'INTERNALLY'.

i agreee... that's what i first thought Ayu was trying to bring across

[panda87]

i was thinkin "remove 'talkin' and keep the '2 myself' part... then i thought, hey, that's too reminiscent of "1love" you know??? and "to myself" would be too reminiscent of "to be"... so i gave up... then i thought, how about "mirror" or "reflect" or "self"? aaaah my brain hurts. let's keep it the way it is shall we?

[Kikaru]

Talking to myself just looks really awkward to me. I don't know why, it just look really stiff and not fitting at all.

I'm used to the title by now.

[ayu99persen]

i bet this is a stupid thread.we really dont need to replace anything from ayu!

[everlastingRAINBOW]

I thought it should be called:

DUMPED c/w forgotten

I agree. I like the title, but I hate that she put 2 instead of 'to'.

[YumeHamasaki]

the 2 in the title is probably just to catch the eye, they do that all the time for songs and movies these days. like..well, it's old but 40year old virgin is a title that makes someone wanna watch it, and it really wasn't as much of that type of tone in the movie.

[hiroshi_ben]

After watching the video for a few times,i think it should be renamed with "PEACE" instead..

[extepan]

i will just keep it as it is
