Thoughts on 'talkin' 2 myself' full version

IMO: This song ROX!! I thought I wouldn't get to hear it because I'm leaving for college in 2 days, but I was wrong...I read masa's translations for this song and I love that Ayumi is into rock-tempos now....You can listen to "Talkin' 2 Myself" on Youtube:

Is an awsome song! So powerfull, and her voice is stronger!!! *______*

I´ll be a sucess! = D!!!!

[ExodusUK]

I think it's great

[hiroshi_ben]

its awesome!!!fans from japan are liking it too!!

[URANUS]

This song is wicked and amazing. The best rock song i heard from Ayu since...2001. I hope the sales of this single will do great so she'll sing more of these.

[spookshow]

i loooove it! i love ayu's rockier songs!

so far i've only listened to that streamed version -- think i'll try hold out for a real good HQ version

[AyUmIXx]

i love ayu doing rocks songs..
and this one is the greater!
her voice totally suits to rock songs!

i think she has done variations on her songs for the year 2007
first, glitter catchy poppish then fated rock ballad and now the strongest ballad, talkin' 2 myself then there will come the decision, hopefully it's a strong rock ballad~

[ayu_ready?]

I say-I like it
I like depressive Ayu the most

BUT BUT BUT

I agree with Dustie the most completely!!!Good Gurl!
I'm already getting sick of this rock,yes,it's getting so much boring,realli
it's just smth...well,I mean,if Ayu started her career with such sounding,without a doubt I wouldn't become her fan
she's been making this rock sound for far away too long...no,no,it's not for me

though,I luv "kiss o' kill"....
& I don't love "1LOVE"

I prefer her pop & always will
I will be with Dustie !

besides,it doesn't sound that different-just another rock ballad from "Secret"...
well,okay,variation of one of ballad from Secret...but nothing that new,fresh & astonishing
I mean...well,more these hard sounds & that's all...

secondly...I think you need't come up to rock to show up your vocal capabilities-you can show em in every type of music

if saying what rock do I prefer,I say-gimme "Memorial adress back!",because I can't stand these light-rock awesome ballads with beautiful compo!


...and I expected a new start after "A BEST2"...

[truehappiness]

Isn't this a drastic change for her?

This is her first rock headed single, after all.

[Raleigh]

What new start? She has experimented with a load of genres and I think there's a little to have "a new start". Seriously sometimes I wonder if people just don't go and find a new artist so they won't be "bored".

[ayu_ready?]

first...mmm...well...what bout 'STEP you/is this LOVE?'-was it the 1st rock headed single...or not?

she experimented a lot of genres,but took only 2 for a long...'use'

I don't think such rock will do good for Ayumi,that's all

I thought maybe,at least, she would be trying smth like "Ladies Night" & "until that Day..." more...I mean,I hoped so-I like that sound more-it sounds different for me

Rock is something which probably started with "Duty" era and evolved from then. I think she uses more than one genre. If one is careful and examines her albums, several genres will come up.

Rock will do good for Ayumi because rock music is popular. Most of her rock singles were a success.

Those types of songs are not single material, more fitting to be album material. If an artist gets too experimental most fans won't like it and the single won't sell well in Japan.

i agree with this too.

but maybe tht means its time for ayu to make risks and release more rock singles (like she's doing with "talkin' 2 myself")?

[ayu_ready?]

then,we should consider "STEP you' single as a POP single?

[freedreamer]

i think STEP you is pop-rock..

WADEVA!

arnt we commenting on THIS song...and if u dun really like rock, then u really wont appreciate this song very much. that said, i think most of us here love her dark and/or rock songs

[ayumisrael]

I love any genre ayu does (that's why she is my most fav) but rock/dark/ballad/dance/pop-rock (Fly high)/trance (Connected) songs are my most fav of her XD.
The only pop songs genre I like less but I don't think I don't like her pop songs, the only song of ayu I never listen to is Two of us, and that's all ^_^.
I can't wait for decision!! Is it 100% that it will be the same genre as talkin' 2 myself?

[andre2907]

I don't agree it's different from everything she done... actually, I think it's a typical Ayu song. But a very good one.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

i LOVE it that's all there is to say it's a good welcome home present after being away on vacation haha

[v3lun420]

OMG, gone for several days and i been missed all this.... ANd my thought is this talkin' 2 myself is so d4mn AWESOME. The song ROCKS. I am pretty sure that the sales will top her glitter/fated
Kudis to Ayumi.... AYUMI ALL THE WAYYYYYY
