Thoughts on talkin' 2 myself single!

[pop909]

Talkin' 2 Myself:
I liked the song the first time i hear it but it came to my mind that ive kinda heard this kinda tune before. It didnt really work for me as much as decision did. I think that it wasnt strong enough to be the a-side.
7/10

Decision:
O_O WOW. This song amazed me so much. Usually a song takes a few days to get into my head but this one came in instantly. The chorus isnt too long and boring and fits amazingly. I also like that little short at the beginning where its soft. I also liked the ending alot
9/10

Fated -orchestra Version-
WOW. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ORIGINAL VERSION. The vocals seem so much more clear and the intruments are so soothing although thats what you can expect from an orchestra version XD). I guess it took out all of the Shawn yue and made me happy.
10/10

Overall, I think this single will sell as much as Startin'. Seemed to almost go the same way for me

[IYFreak]

woah startin' thats bad...

Stupid name, weird video, but good song IMO. It didn't sound like the kind of thing I would have expected out of Ayu Chan, but I did enjoy it nonetheless. I would be quite satisfied if she made a few more songs like this (though hopefully without the stupid title!).

[Olw---A]

1 word : AMAZING

[Partino]

I wan't Step you sales but & sales would be even better

[ayumisrael]

talkin' 2 myself - 10/10
decision 10/10
fated "Orchestra Version" - 10/10

The best single of 2007 yet.

[pop909]

^But that means it only has to beat out glitter/fated XDD

[Nu-NRG]

t2m: GREAT...this is like the most "rock" song that ayu has ever done
decision: OMG this song is so epic once the guitar/bass kicks in, to me this is better than t2m a whole lot

[Halla]

I find the new single to be really good, both the new songs are great and I'm enjoying the remix as well.

Talkin' 2 Myself
the deep bassline sounds fresh for Ayu & the strings and the overall mood of the song is very interesting, and I really like the flow & energy of the chorus. 4/5

Decision
the strong guitar sound really suits the song, and I'm really captured by the emotion in her singing. especially in the chorus. the song suffers from being a bit too similar to Talkin' 2 Myself tho.
3,5/5

Fated -orchestra version-
very beatiful new rendetition of the emotional song. the simplistic strings really bring out her voice. one of the better orchestra versions of ayu out there.
4/5

overall: an excellent single, but I would have hoped for 2 songs with different styles/moods, and maybe saved "decision" for the next album or something.
overall grade: 4/5

still, & >>>> T2M. & or A will probably remain as the best Ayu singles ever (& = three great songs with awesome PVs + one unique & interesting extra b-side track. not to mention a great single cover <3).unless she releases a new maxi-single with 4 new awesome songs with contrasting styles. I like variety

[Foxxy_Fuyumi]

I love fated, the original mix, and this orchestra version is simply.....arhhggg AMAZING!
Decision, is not that much, is just >"good"< You know.
Talkin 2 myself....well without words!! One of her BEST Songs!

9.5/10

[s1012h]

never really loved fated
so the orchestra didn't do anything for me

i already said my opinion of t2m various times: one of her best rock songs... ever
and now it's got competition: decision
decision is incredible, from piano to pounding drums and guitar
AND a lyric-style bridge
what more could a rock listener ask for?

[balladesque]

I think it's a pretty decent single, I really like "talkin' 2 myself" and the orchestra version of "fated", I think I need to give "decision" a few more listens, I like everything about the song but the chorus.

[heartplace83]

i actually really like the ending of decision.
the woo woo yeah part. it really gives me chills. loves it.

[Sweet_Ai]

At first I didn't like t2m but when I saw the video I started liking it. Now I listen to it over and over. I also like decision a lot and the orchestra version of fated (I think I like it more than the original). Anyways, I will be listening to those 3 songs in a row for a few days.

[Kenshi]

Please be gentle to my comments. OK here we go!

01. talkin' to myself
I didn't like the "2" in the title, but now it's fine now since it's such nice rock song. I love the intense chorus which makes you shake your head to.
Rating: 8/10

02. decision
This song is amazing in terms of contrast! However, the style of the song resembles the first track. It might be better to leave it for the next single or in the album.
Rating: 7/10

03. fated "Orchestra Version"
fated has never been my favourite as the original mix lacks something to grab my interest. However, the orchestra version totally gets me addicted and allows me to enjoy the song to the maximum. The song is just beautiful. Thumb up for the arrangement!
Rating: 8/10

04. talkin' 2 myself -Instrumental-
05. decision -Instrumental-
The instrumental version of decision gives me another view to appreciate the original mix. A very nice instrumental I would say.

Overall rating: 8/10
I'm happy with all the songs in this single. However, it gets a bit tiring to decision right after talkin' 2 myself 'cause both are of serious rock tones.

[Neo Daydream]

I LOVE T2M and I just listened to all of decision and I can't tell which I love more. decision really jumped up a notch!

[spookshow]

whoa -- how beautiful is Fated orchestral!? in the right mood, that version would make me cry, the orchestral music just makes the song even more emotional (if that's possible)

decision -- a brilliant rock song! i'm loving the chorus!

overall, i'm very very happy with this single! and i'm loving ayu's return to rockier music (as compared to other recent stuff)

[norain]

talkin' 2 myself 3/5 (decent song, but I don't think I'd listen to it anymore than a few times...)
decision 4/5 (good song! hopefully this gets an aov too if anything! I like it, though comparing to her other works, I can't call this a 5/5 song)
fated 2/5 (not as good as her original aov)

The single is definitely better than the last one...I hope she releases a winter ballad...reminiscent of carols or etc.

I wouldn't say they "sucked", but I still don't think anything has matched "STEP you/is this LOVE?" yet, not even "talkin' 2 myself". I love the new single, but STEP you and is this LOVE? are both GOLD. But if we are talking album tracks, I think JEWEL is the masterpiece that is just as amazing as STEP you and is this LOVE?

[jasjasss]

WTH .. decision is so crap !! jokesss










Decision is the BEST ! its better than Talkin' 2 Myself .. i mean
i keep getting the chill when listening to the song
i like that "bug" noise during the verse .. i tot that was cool
this song is PERFECTT
the lead single should be DECISION instead of talkin' 2 myself
