In my opinion, this single is one of the best singles that Ayu has ever released, the 2 Rock tracks are just wonderful, I simply love decision, one of the most beautiful Ayu songs for me, and the Orchresta version of fated is really adorable, this single is for sure, a must have for every Ayu fan.
talkin' 2 myself [Jacket A / CD+DVD] Customer Reviews
Ayumi Hamasaki
talkin' 2 myself is full of energy and sounds more suitable as the theme song for that resident evil game. Decision makes me think of Pride but is nevertheless also a good track. Overall a single even non-ayu fans will enjoy.
Realmente ayu me impresiona cada vez que lanza un single. talkin' 2 myself, un single muy potente y energetico, lo que se tranmite cada vez que lo escucho. Realmente recomendable para los fans de ayu.
"talkin' 2 myself" was a unusual song title I've seen in Ayu's music. I like the arrangement and the instrumental part of this song and I like the very aggressive vocals. While "decision" was rocker than the first track. After you listen the first two hard rockin' tracks, the orchestra version of fated will relax you. OVERALL: This single was like "INSPIRE/GAME" but much more in rock genre. The cover and art was so simple unlike "glitter/fated" and all of the songs gives me a huge "WOW!" when I listened it on the very first time. Nice single... I'll give it a 9.8. points! ^^,
''talkin' 2 myself'' is a really catchy rock track, ''decision'' is even more rock than the 1st track and it's so damn good ! The PVs are not her best, I like the one for ''talkin' 2 myself'', ''decision'' is too simple there is only Ayu singin' sorrounded by a band.
For two years, I've been an Ayu fan, and I've collected albums young and old from her. I've had letdowns and upliftings, but being a fan of hers means I won't always love everything she does. Ayu vary rarely disappoints me with her rock music, and this single is no exception. Hearing the preview rip for talkin' 2 myself shows that this song not only comes out with a bang, but it does so with an amazing rockish style. This is an awesome single, and with a rumor of having decision being written by CREA and HAL, it's surely something you won't want to miss.
I can't review this entire single, but I have heard talkin' 2 myself. It's a decent rock song, but frankly I've heard alot of far better rock songs from Ayu with clearer voice and fresher vocals. Also, this year it seems as if her covers keep getting worse and worse. I've already had my mother, my cousin and 17 friends say that she looks like a street tramp on these covers for this single. In my personal opinion, Ayu has become way over to sure of herself. She thinks she can do anything and totally sell 7 million copies anyways. Honestly, I have liked the songs she's released this year, but none have wow'ed me. I am seriously very dissapointed with her releases this year, and so far I can't see myself buying her album at the end of the year, which is something I've been doing since her release of Boys&Girls back before LOVEppears.
Wow, new single already. This is great, especially as I liked her last single's "fated" so much. I've heard the preview already, and it's a rock song. It's different and refreshing, the lyrics match the song too. I recommend this single... especially as there are rumors that the second track has been composed by CREA/Ayu herself.
