[Question & Discussion] Opening of ASIA TOUR 2008

[alternarist]

Everybody knows that ayu broke the tradition by starting a concert with the "acapella version" of talkin' 2 myself. She only sang 2 lines of the 2nd chorus.

破壊する　事により　創造は　生まれる　と　いう　事を
君は　知ってる

which translates to

"You know that creation comes after destruction"

Does anybody know the meaning behind ayu singing this phrase? I mean what's so special? Not too sure about it though.

Was it that ayu felt that there is too much destruction going on in the world such that she decided to make a statement?

I know it's impossible to get a correct answer, but what are your view. It is open for discussion!

[love in music]

maybe because it's the best line in the song?

[pommy48]

I never really wondered about why she sang it acapella at first, i just thought it added to the effect~

[mcluva420]

maybe its lik the theme of the concert, and its probably the most meaningful/main line in the song

there are many other lines that are good in the song too!

I am not sure about you guys, but i feel that this "acapella" segment after The Judgement Day kinda killed the opening. It sorta make the whole song sounds disconnected.

well thats my opinion.

I second this.

[alternarist]

ayu never start a concert with some acapella before. so she broke the tradition by doing it in 2008.

[zyoeru]

^ Oh...that's such a random tradition.

[alternarist]

its not my tradition either. Do you have any comments?

[Andrenekoi]

She started a concert with a capella on A-Museum

[JackieRos]

she wanted to do something different and IMO it was good that way
I also love it that she consumed her audience by looking aroung
Didn't she do a RULE acapella in NEXT LEVEL tour?

Exactly, she sang A Song For XX, which was a very impressive concert opener, I think.

[alternarist]

"You should know creation comes after destruction"

talkin' 2 myself - ayumi hamasaki

"Did I imagine this kind of future?
Did you imagine this kind of future?

Did I wish for this kind of future?
Did you wish for this kind of future?

Is this the beginning? Is this the end?
Did you give up? Are you holding on?”
Are you shrugging off? Are you in despair?
You tell me just to go forward"

Mirrorcle World - ayumi hamasaki

I've always thought the first and last song of the main concert as a question and answer kind of thing.

[jean-baptiste]

i always thought, since its her anniversary, that line means something like "no matter what mistakes/hardships i've been through these past 10 years, im starting anew" or something.
well, i dont know if im wording it correctly, but i think it ties in with her 10th anniversary.
i also got this idea because of the reBIRTH opening video.

[maikaru]

Yeah, since the main line of Talkin' 2 Myself seems to be that very line,
It sounded really nice too, it's a very powerful line, and a great way to make a statement, don't you think???

[chloeM]

erm.... it opens the acapella nicely... it's weird to have sang... genjitsu wa... itsu datte~
