I think this song was made because of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games, cause it transmits power, energy and hope.
But I also say that is not a song that plays a lot in my winamp LOL

YES!! And it deffinitely has an Olympic feeling

i can catch the feel of this song..

Exactly. That performance was great!! I'm so happy it was used instead of the fairyland performance


About the song. It's good. I don't hate it, but i really don't listen to it that much.
The PV, yes it was too "brilliant" lol, i think it kinda wanted to transmit a message through all that people, but i din't get it, cause i only saw it once.
Maybe i just didn't like how it sound along with Startin' (which i LOVE).
Maybe if it was released with another ballad or sth like that, it could have worked better

Personnaly, i absolutely LOVE this song, kinda remind me Unite! or some fest songs. But what i love more is the AT06 Perf of it, really awesome.

Now, it's true that i hate the PV. Can't see the whole thing without having a headache or half closing my eyes.

So, GREAT song, BAD pv...

The PV was a lil "AHH MY EYES" For me is all. The song is satisfactory as all of Secret was for me anyways. Startin' is an amazing song though! Shame on ye who denies that fact! xD Ah whatever, we're a diverse group here.

Okay, Born To Be... rocks! I really love the lyrics and the music. It's very awe-inspiring! The background chorus used was actually more appropriate than the one in Bold & Delicious, in my opinion. One more thing, the bongos and congos right before Ayu sings again in the middle of the song is LOVE.

On the PV, I think either lower the lights or make Ayu and every other person in the PV wear black. Actually, I think the latter will make the lights beautiful! Haha.

But that PV is one of my faves!

[Surreal]

Like, the same goes for Startin' and how cheesy the PV was. They were both extremely solid tracks, but had lacking PVs done by a lacking director.

:\

I feel bad for these songs. I wish they got a PV redo. XD

Yeah, I think it's the PVs. I like both songs, but the PVs.... no.

Born To Be... is awesome.

[summersnow]

I don't really like Born to be. perhaps cuz of the arrangement
and also the PV. Too bright. But I like the lyrics.

I prefer Startin'.

[nightlightyear]

Both are great if you ask me! Like people have said, I think its b/c of the BRIGHT! PV! LOL!

[milky_way]

Like the song. Hate the PV.

[Jason]

The song is amazing, I think.

My girlfriend doesnt favour Ayumi that much but even she likes Born to be. The PV literally bloody blinds me, though. O_O

[evolution7931]

I love the song myself I think it's one of Ayu's best

[minna]

Born to be free...ano hi kara

I really like that song!
Born to be... is so powerful! I love it! Full of hope, happiness and power

about the PV, well it was a really great Idea
like to see people from other countries and well all the things that made the PV
the only thing is that with the lights we don't see a lot ayu, only the sape of her body
but appart of that the PV was really great

But I don't really see the reason why people hate it. Can someone clue me in as to WHY?

It's inspirational, powerful, and has an awesome arrangement. What is there to hate? Is it annoying? Is the title blah? Is it because of the PV?

I actually like "Startin' " but I'm sorry...I think 'Born to be...' is a ghastly song. This is one of those songs that I have a hard time listening to the whole way through. It's just a stupid and rather cheesy song IMO. I'm sorry to smash this song but aside from 'ANGEL'S SONG' this has got to be one of Ayu's worst songs. And that's saying a lot in my case because I love all of Ayu's music (even Nothing from Nothing material) and I like all of her 'different' songs.

....And that's exactly why the PV is bad too...I couldn't see Ayu !

[truehappiness]

BTB sounds nothing like gospel.

I think you should actually listen to gospel before comparing it to such..

[CHE.R.RY]

^ Sorry O.O
And for you info. I have listened to gospel. No need to get so touchy. But if it makes you happy I'll get rid of it

[namiie]

I don't hate it...I was actually indifferent to it for a time, but I grew to like it after Ayu's amazing performance of it at AT 06.

The only thing I dislike about it is how bright the PV is. I think she could've turned down the lights there.

[truehappiness]

I totally blame the lights on Takahide Ishii.

I blame everything that happened PV-wise in 2006 on Takahide Ishii.
