The first beginning seconds do remind me of "STEP you" intro - but I love the sort of remix feel it has. Very upbeat, and dancey - kind of reminiscent of her older, energetic hits like evolution/Trauma.

Verdict? I like it, it's a well-due change. I'm sure the album version will be more powerful.
It sounds good, but this is perhaps one of the most animé sounding song ayu did since ASFXX I think. Not that it's a bad thing.

As for the vocals, she seemed really tired.. I almost felt sorry for her listening to it.

Startin' almost = beats = INSPIRE
I think that the beatsis kind of INSPIRE-ish
the first part she sing LOW beats
The second part higher betas for the bridge
then the lat part is chorus which is exactly the same UP & DOWN beats as INSPIRE was......and I LOVE IT SO MUCH coz I LOVE INSPIRE !!!!! YEAH>>>>> teh PV will be really nice...I hope she dance again

I like the song! I think it sounds very refreshing and is unlike what Ayu has done. As mentioned, Startin' sounds a bit anime but I think it's to complement the video game!

The live version isn't really that fantastic but it's good enough! Which means the single/album/studio version would be even better! That's what I'm looking forward to!

will this even be a single? i love this song so much i'm playing it on repeat. vocals are alright but the music is awesome. but i think the song will only be released on the OST of the game and nothing more.

If you hear "B&D" when you start playing the video game, you will have "wtf" feeling......YAYAYAYAGAGAGAKAKAKAKA..The video game would become the not good selling game in 2006 if they use "B&D" style as opening music. Thats the how to choose the style not the music only. Music can inspire people to play.

I really love it when Ayumi do hard out rock things from Because of You to is this LOVE? ,they're a bunch a strong rock things like STEP you it does make meh wanna slamp my head back and foreback without knowin' . Dun't get it wrong, i'm nut a fan of hardcore rock music, but i love when Ayumi do it! I believe the original gonna kick people face when it's release...
Last time I checked, "Startin'" didn't sound rock or hard rock at all.

Based off of the live rip, I think that it sounds pretty good. I cannot wait to hear the CD version!

The live version was so boring.
It dragged on so much I turned it off before the bridge.
Even the studio recording didn't sound great.
I hope the PV or single contents are better than the song.

Not a good start for 2006.

Well, it's certainly not hard rock, but I would still consider it a rock song. Just with a very strong pop hook.

I'm in love with the song especially the effect in mid point around 2:36
when the vinyl scratching effects comes in
I love songs that have this kinds of effects

Well the studio version will definitely be better. Her vocals aren't good in this live version, sometimes her voice goes so low that she sounds like a man. O_o;; But it does definitely sounds as if the studio version will rock.

Totally agree...Like when she sang About You in AT05, I didnt like her voice in that at some parts...

I think it's so-so. Perhaps I should reserve my judgement for the actual thing..

I love it when her voice goes very low. She sounds more angry.

Sounds promising and inspiring. This year apart from STEP you there wasn't a song which made you feel lively and energetic so I'm happy about this song.

I don't find it rock at all.

what do you think about the new song "startin'"?
I have listened to "startin'" countdown live version.
It is so attractive. It can motivate my emotion.
EXCELLENT!
