Thoughts on 'talkin' 2 myself' full version - Page 7

Because he's directed so many PVs in a row that the majority of fans hated that no one really likes him, that's why.

2 singles -> 4 PVs AND an album PV. D:

Plus, before then his only work with Ayu was the UNITE! clip. And look what happened to that PV.

This is such a strong song... solid vocals, catchy arrangement. Ayu has done well.

Wonderful. An AMAZING song will have a crappy PV....Why is it that all my favorite songs she has the worst haircut ever, in?! God I hope she wears a wig or something. GAME is a freakin amazing song, and the PV concept is so good, but her hair ruined the entire thing for me....I have a feeling this will happen again...

But the song PWNS!!!!! ILU AYU

People hated BLUE BIRD, Beautiful Fighters, Born To Be..., part of Me, and Startin' PVs? ...Weird. I've always loved those PVs.

The opening is really dark and mysterious...I got goosebumps listening to it. I kept imagining a graveyard or something. XD Definitely does sound Gackt-esque, but once the vocals hit you, it definitely gives you an Ayu-esque flair. I LOVE her vocals; they are strong and confident, the way they were in "alterna" and "Pride"---I love it when she uses her voice to its full potential.

The bridge is a wonderful, emotion transition to the built-up chorus, which reminds me of a cross between "because of you" and "kiss o' kill". The multiple guitars, background strings and background beat weaving in and out give the song a really ethereal feel; I get a strong image of a really dark sky and lightening and stuff.

GUH. If this single doesn't sell lots, I will be pissed. XD

Might be a little early, but prepare to be pissed. XD

I dunno, hopefully they pull something to make this single do well, or do tons of promo.. D:

LacusClyne · #**127** 16th August 2007, 02:57 AM

i love this so much...

i was feeling a little lost again, and there comes, 'talkin' to myself'. Her lyrics and her voice help me again.....thanks ayu.

I think a really, really dynamic PV could make all the difference...but when I say "sell lots", I mean over 200k sales XD I don't really have unrealistic hopes, but I think 200k is possible

truehappiness · #**129** 16th August 2007, 03:01 AM

Well, BLUE BIRD got 260k.

Ayu needs cool covers and a free poster to entice people. Perhaps the covers of glitter/fated had people opting to simply download it? D:

SheFliesHigher · #**130** 16th August 2007, 03:03 AM

Ooooo, quite a fresh sound from Ayu. I look forward to hearing it in CD quality.

namiie · #**131** 16th August 2007, 03:04 AM

Yeah I agree, truehappiness. Free bonuses certainly always entice buyers

And I think she needs to perform the hell out of this one on TV, because I think this song is powerful enough to persuade people who aren't normally fans to invest money in it.

#**132** 16th August 2007, 03:07 AM

^Didn't she perform the hell out of JEWEL and Secret only sold like 600k? :/

edit: Nevermind, don't mind me. I'm not good at the charting stuff. lol

truehappiness · #**133** 16th August 2007, 03:07 AM

I think that the song's "free" promo [the free downloads and now the BARKS.jp streaming] might make people inch towards buying it..

Hopefully the PV seals the deal instead of destroying it. :<

Yeah, I thought about that too

But I don't think JEWEL is as visually-compelling as talkin' 2 myself could be (the PV for JEWEL was pretty much a jewelry store commercial to me...pure eyecandy and little else), and every time she performed it, it was just her singing (not that there's anything wrong with such an approach; JEWEL's a simple ballad and the lives were done in the same manner). But for these performances, I see the possibility of like...sparks coming out at the last crescendo or something.

LacusClyne · #**135** 16th August 2007, 03:10 AM

just hope that the cover and pv is brillant too. i don't want them to ruin my fav song!!!

Neo Daydream · #**136** 16th August 2007, 03:21 AM

I hope the PV is Because of you-esque. B.o.y. has always been my fav. PV. and this song kinda makes me think of it but i think itz even better! so i hope the style of the single is really hardcore to seal the deal

Nu-NRG · #**137** 16th August 2007, 03:24 AM

OK
this has top my favorite....
Because of You is awesome but this.......
I'm lost of words to describe this

I've always love ayu's rocks

#**138** 16th August 2007, 03:40 AM

^Haha! Your recently played tracks definitely show how much you love her rock songs!

Nu-NRG · #**139** 16th August 2007, 03:45 AM

^LOL I didn't realize that

now all we need is an amazing PV to go in pair with this sick song
cover...I'm not too crazy about it
