New Single 「talkin' 2 myself」

[truehappiness]

Probably because of the replacement of a three-letter word with a single letter/number? D: I dunno.

You know, all artists have a point where they abbreviate.. look at Beyonce and Upgrade U. LOL

According to this official statement on the website (which says the single will only be comprised of 3 tracks), it seems like the only song of the two which will have an instrumental is talkin' 2 myself.

If avex gave 'decision' a PV, chances are (I think) that it will also be on the album. And I think it's 3 songs and not 3 tracks? no? (The 3rd track might be the glitter remix)

Weird names for titles, but I don't mind if the songs are good!

[evolutionricky]

already!

[Coelacanth]

It would be cool if 'decision' is treated a b-side, it would give the single some added value. Seeing as it has a PV however...

[truehappiness]

We probably won't see B-sides from Ayu until 2010. XD

Ayu needs a clever marketing campaign for this single. Posters please? D:

"the SPEED STAR" had a PV, and it was an A-side, and it was still left out of Namie "Queen of Hip-Pop" cd...so it's possible, haha

[truehappiness]

Yeah, but this is Ayu, not Namie. LOL

Namie left out White Light probably because it didn't fit the album as well..


You know, many people consider HEAVEN and BLUE BIRD to be single A-side CDs. Is that just something for fans to debate over or is it "canon"? D:

Yes but Namie isn't completely controlled by Max/avex, she has her own management.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

^huh? namie and ayu are both under the same management

and all i was saying is that it is possible for songs to be left out, even if they have a PV

[ayu_fan929]

^No. Namie is under Vision Factory; Ayu isn't. Also, Vision Factory is not part of avex.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

seriosuly? oh, thats news to me! haha, why is she under avex websites then?? o_O

[ayu_fan929]

^Well it's just like V6 and Tackey & Tsubasa. They both have avex sites (since avex releases their CDs) but both of the groups are controlled by Johnny's.

[pinapnut]

I'm excited for this!

[Coelacanth]

I hope neither PV's have any sort of headbanging nonsense. t2m sounds like it could be the next Humming.

Ew, imagine if it was Hummin' 7/4.

Well, you know I think it's absurd.

I think when she leaves the the second song out of the title, she does so for a reason.

First reason: The two tracks aren't going to receive an equal level of promotion.

Second reason: There's no correlation/connection between the two songs on the single; For instance, STEP you/is this LOVE? was supposed to portray two different sides of a woman, glitter/fated had a connecting short film, and Startin'/Born to Be... had a similar theme lyrically. On the other hand, fairyland/alterna, BLUE BIRD/Beautiful Fighters, HEAVEN/Will had nothing to do with each other.

So people really consider 'Will' and 'Beautiful Fighters' to be B-sides, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Now that generally music singles are published on CD format, or digital download, a B-side is a term simply to refer to a song that is not seen on any LP, or EP.

coelacanth i like the rockish songs of ayus i really love 1 love and, until that day, because of you, kiss o kill, alterna, about you, and game and i hope it is some "headbanding nonsense" i really like that style for ayu because in my opinion the live preformances and PV are better are better not to say that her other preformances and PV are not good because all of hers are GREAT but when preformed 1 love and until that day live her preformance was WONDERFUL she came up on the stage traped in a cage the she pole dances just look at my avatar and in kiss o kill she came up on a cross and one time when she was preforming alterna she was in a huge metal ball suspended in mid air dressed in a zebra looking costume and in one part she was literally hanging out of the metal ball and in about you she was in a chain cage thing that she pulled down with her human power strenght how can it get any better i mean i just love that style for ayu!

[veggie]

oh and thanks for the news i love the title

[~X2RADialbomber~]

I thought people realised already that Ayu doesn't have 'b-sides'. The correct term for a 'b-side' is as Coelacanth stated, so that means that Ayu doesn't have any b-sides (except for theme of a-nation, Two of Us and those few other songs)

BTW... translation please... ^^

[truehappiness]

Translation of what? D:?
