yea yea..tats wad im getting too...but its better than both!
she shud begin experimenting hybrid-ing her own songs...haha.

of coz ensuring that the end result is gd...haha

*listened to the previews*

At last something new this year!!! Except for hikki no one of my fav artists gave anything new!! now ayu joined to the list!!

WOW it sounds so different... this song will rock. Sounds so new and different in the good way.

The song reminds me of "1 LOVE". I wouldn't be surprised, if H/\L arranged the song.

I love the preview so far!!! The chorus is amazing. I really was worried that it was going to be another startin'... but it's amazing like kiss o' kill. I still might have to get a bit used to the intro, but the song sounds very rich instrumentally.

It's about damn time I get this hyped up for an Ayu single. I don't even know when I was this hyped up before.. maybe when she released alterna o.o

ive always been super excited for ayu's singles but this sounds so fresh and... maybe not to some but mature for me that i cant help but feel even more impossibly excited to hear this song:thud

omg that was REAKING AWSOME!!!!! i can tell that i am going to love that song

omg wowowowowow!

I'm loving it, finally unpredictable hard to learn after first hearing lyrics and melody, together with Ayu's new style it's gonna be a good promise for future songs. I feel the GAME era spirit, I'm happy :]

The chorus sounded great, until the "tsuzu...", because she's ended chorus' like that 100 times!

Thanks for the previews matt!! The song is awesome! I love the chorus. :D

WOW! It's great!!!! Can't wait for the full thing :D

Sounds great :D

OMG YESSSSSS AMAZING

the intro kinda remind me of kiss 'o kill, but in a different way. can't wait for the full song!!

OMG thanks so much!

i'll edit my post with thoughts once my download is done.

edit: one word: AWESOME! i love it already.

sounds like a pretty good song i cant wait ^^

This song is sick. So intense. I can't wait to hear the full song and to see live perfs and the PV!

-is trying to imagine Music Station performance-

This is killing me not being able to listen to the whole thing :(

I'm loving it as well!Kinda feels as if 1LOVE was merged with GAME ^^

That is exactly what i was thinking the first time i heard it. It sounds very refreshing to me. it has a new quality to it...but at the same time, it takes me back to Because of You and GAME eras which is very nice.

I feel she's trying to give more that she knows people will like but putting a little bit of a new twist on them rather than experimenting with something completely outlandish.

So hard and rock song with soft moments, I love it. Thanks.

If it's bad quality then I guess I'll hold up for a while. Thanks nevertheless.

:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:thud

Uh mazing! THIS is why kiss'o'kill should've been an A-side. OMG!!!!

It's really THAT good. :o

edit: and oh thank you for shring this!

woo yay!!thanks!

I have very high expectations for this song, and I think it's safe to say she has made up for that glitter ****.

i want the full song OMG!

:irked

It wasn't that bad. :\

It wasn't bad, just normal ^_^
fated was awesome though it deserved so much better.

to me, this song its better than glitter or fated!!

talkin 2 myself its the best song from ayu in this year ! :P

the song didnt even come out yet lol

decision still has to come out.. so.. XD

Wait till that CM comes out. Or chaku-uta thing.. D:

thanks for the previews...i think its freaking great. i wasn't expecting something that sounded this good at all. i'm really happy from what i can tell of the previews!

woow ... very dark ... I love it already ... it sounds a lot like the songs Within Temptation are doin but in japanese ... I love it so much already without hearing the full song ... that's something that happened the last time with About you and the chocolate cm she was doin ... pre my story era ... can't wait till september .... KISEKI ... we need you now more than ever ... please help us you great good god of music leaks ...

okay the preview of talkin' 2 myself beats out the whole glitter/fated single by leaps and bounds
this stuff is amazing

Well.. That's something. But I am going to wait for the whole thing before I decide whether I like this song or not.

It reminds me a bit of kiss'o'kill at the moment. Not a bad thing actually, since I love kiss'o'kill.

It's good this song is getting good reactions, but I can't really agree... The verse reminds me of Kiss o' Kill, the arrangement remind me of taskinst/tasking and the end of the chorus reminds me of the part of Me.... the only partly refreshing part of the song is the bridge...

My biggest problem with the previews so far is the arrangement and her unattractive vocals, but i'll probably grow to love this song anyhow :P

This song sounds NOTHING like Within Temptation. Are you kidding me? You must be a new fan....

wow i love this song...1 million times better than glitter, and its even better than fated.

Are you trying to find stuff that's similar to it? XDD

I knew it. The title is lame, but the song rocks!

^ Yeah that's what I was trying to say earlier. Weird song titles seem to give really awesome songs.

this song is awesome.

wow, this song is really getting a LOT of good criticisms, and it's not even the best quality yet XD

thats what I thought too!
maybe this will be this years WOW single

^Obviously it already is! :P

i cant wait to listen the song, and CM, one person say it to me, that he see CM in the Premier ? I dont know if that true :S

Am I wrong or talkin' 2 myself will have another version as the 3rd track of the single? (bold part).

Oh wow, I agree, lame title, but the song sounds like it rocks.. now I am going to be sitting here itching for more..!!
Thanks much for the previews! really appreciated!

evolusean translated it as "remix[es] will be included for a total of three songs" or something.

GREAT!
I hope it's It was' or glitter's. thanks!

And the bottom part you wanted to know more about is just the chaku uta version that we already have released at noon on August 12. :\

I wish Matt knew how to convert the whole song into mp3 TToTT
I'm dying here~

lol I saw there ver. so I jumped.

oooooooooooh sounds really good, thanks a lot for the preview hun!

WOW, thanks, it seems it's going to be an amazing song and comeback single, unlike glitter!

Tru: That was a different part of the announcement. The part Ayumisrael is wondering about says:

Whether this means that what is different is the song itself or way it is presented as a Chaku-Uta, I'm not sure; I don't know enough about Chaku-Uta itself. What makes me question it is their phrasing; it says "alternate ver." in Japanese after the quoted title, rather than sticking a specific subtitle (i.e. "HAL's mix", etc.) directly to the title. So this preview we are hearing may or may not be the single mix.

Awesome! Thanks, I really like it ^_^

the chorus rocks my socks!!

sounds good! can't wait to hear the whole song. it does remind me of "1 LOVE" in terms of her vocals.

That frightens me because I really want this to be the single mix

Wow this sounds great! Thanks.

I think what it means in this case is that there is the free version available for download, as well as the other chorus and verse which need to be paid for.

Because the main body of the download message is refering to the free download version, this part ※「talkin' 2 myself」別ver.着うた®も先行配信予定です。
says that "Other versions of talkin' 2 myself will also be available."

So while nobody can be 100% sure until the single is out, I think it's pretty safe to assume that this is how the final product will sound (unless for some reason they re-edit it)

hey matt can post the full song please, or a preview from Decision song ?? please T_T ??

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't expect such an early preview....
The song rocks, really....this song's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe it'll be like glitter and leak early...not so that it hurts sales but so that we get to hear it!!! :)

-crosses fingers-

OK, really? It's been said several times that the FULL SONG IS NOT OUT. If it was, I or somebody else would have posted it.

mu-mo released several clips as chaku-uta (chaku-uta literally means "arrival song" ie. ringtones!). A full version is not available.

Can't wait for the full thing :D

Oh ok!! sorry jeje :P

Lol I know. Yesterday when I logged off at night this thread had 2 pages and I don't go on for a day and now there's 9 XD

I agree with the "epic" feel though...I don't think this'll be just another regular rock song. I consider "kiss o' kill" another epic one since it was different from anything Ayu did before...I guess the intro sounds a tad urban, but it's a little too early to tell...

it is even better than glitter X_X omg awesome song...can't wait for this single

I love it !!!
It sounds different! I can't wait to hear more!!!

thank you for the previews!

Wow! its like not even a single expessing much dislike for this song..this is amazing!

i hope this really does well...and if this is the alternate version...(duh hope not), then i would expect the single version to be as gd..hopefully...

this song is just THUNDERING...and for some reason, i see much CG coming... :S

I'm really liking this .. I love the guitar bit, kind of reminds me of Gackt's style, which is a good thing. Go Ayu, top the charts again!

WOW! WOW! WOW! THE SONG IS GREAT! I really love it. Ayu back to origins. I'm desperate to listen the full version.

The covers need to be released NOW!

Plus... I refuse to pre-order until I see the covers and I choose my favorite lol

oh, i didnt know a second chorus was uploaded, lucky i checked, thanks! :D

this one is great!!!
muuuuuuuuch better than glitter

can this song be classified as jrock-influenced?

wow thank you so much!! this song is very awesome

I read this as "Ayu organs." XD

I like it! It definetly has that familiar sound (is this LOVE?) and yet, it feels very new! :) Thank you for the file.

I hope they won't give up on releasing a promo CD... they released it for Koda's upcoming single, despite her previous one had it's promo versions leaked - meaning they don't seem to be bothered by the leaks.

Great!
thanks for sharing, I loved the 2nd chorus!

i agree she does sound a little like gackt here
but to me its the way she sings instead of her actual voice

anyways i like it .... intro sounds good gives me a hip hop feel which is good since im a hip hop head

^ Ew.

L O L.


Anyways, BoA's single just leaked via promo CD and it comes out the same day as Ayu's. However, I think that it was recorded waaay before.

Hopefully we don't get it for a while..

I am loving the tune!

Just judging by the name I bet that we'll get to see the "other Ayu" once again. As I read somewhere else, now that she has left Tomoya she has lots of things going through her heart and mind and she definitely ha some good material!

Let's wait for the full version!

*+D.N.A.+*

oh my god~ it will be my favorite ayu's song for 2007~!!! cant wait till 19th of september >_<

from the previews... i think it is one of her best songs in a long time:)
so excited!!!

OMG!!! I like that song!!!

I LOVE THIS SONG!! but i must say its some sort not very ayu-ish huh? first thought that came to my mind is namie amuro.. :P

thanks for the preview!

Huh? Namie is really deep into the J-urban movement right now; this preview sounds more rock/pop than urbanish...I really don't see the Namie connection XDD

Hopefully we get it ASAP!

It doesn't matter when it's leaked, people will find out how does the song sound before the release date anyway - if it's a bad song/a song people won't like, nobody can hide it, no matter what. I think only keeping the song a secret until the day of release could make any change - so that people would buy the single just to find out what the song is like in the first place. Other than that, it's up to people's tastes if they like the single or not, not up to when it leaks.

Some songs can actually grow on with time, thus earlier exposure can lead to a song's likeness reaching its peek just in time for the release date.

That certainly wasn't the case with glitter / fated. :/
