I'm resisting the urge to download this, because I don't want to ruin the surprise.

However, can someone tell me EXACTLY how long this is? Is it as long as "Not yet" or is it longer/shorter?

It's exactly 1:59, two seconds shorter than Not yet.

Thanks! I was just hoping it wouldn't be dramatically shorter than "Not yet."

I love it !! I wish the song was a little longer though :(

Ehhh I don't know yet... It's kinda weird.

sounds so awsome, when the heavy part in the song started it scared me XD. Love it, want to listen to the whole album already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-gasp.-

I hope she pulls a koda and makes it a full song :D I just love the weirdness in it. It just has this survival of the fittest fend for yourself feel to it. Love it <3

I love it! I let the previews sink in after a day and man I am SO psyched for her new album! It's an awesome way to start off the new year. I just hope the full album doesn't leak so soon, just the interludes lol.

I listened to it once, loved it sooo much. So I'm going to wait until the rest of the album comes out. That way it'll still be fresh.

NO.

Only twice have I heard such nonsense! :(:(:(

I love the beginning of it. Really. Wonderful idea of mixing samples.

But then, the change into some kind of "epileptic rock" isn't very pleasant for my ears. It sounds too random, too much out of nowhere. It doesn't suit Ayu.

Ending is nice.

But Ayu's voice isn't as powerful as this song would deserve. :no

Overall, it's OK. If the crazy part wouldn't be there, it might be my favorite Ayu interlude.

The crazy part imo is what makes it so unique. Had it kinda just stayed the same, it wouldn't really show the mood that she's trying to portray you know? Like when you choose certain diction to make a point in writing, with music, certain sounds invoke attitudes that people relate to..

[softness -> hardness -> softness]? XD

I get your point and I wouldn't mind some harder part in it, but I dislike the craziness of it. It sounds completely insane to me!

Well I think the crazy part is really suiting, because the first two stanzas are told slowly and they're essentially two thoughts about "did you imagine/wish this kind of future?" and then the rock part has lots of ideas flowing urgently:
"The beginning or the end?
Giving up or holding on?
?????????? or despair?
You tell me just to go forward"

From the mirror pattern, it looks like the part masa couldn't translate will be something positive, since it goes like "positive/negative, negative/positive, positive/negative" and then the final thought.

Just trying to throw an opinion out to justify the choice in moods ayu presented in this, so people don't overlook it as messy and incoherent.

I think that's her point. Things went from calm, to CRAZYASHELL. :D At least, for her.

it's an amazing opening
it's dynamic and it definitely surprises you on first listen, especially if you've heard the clip that haru posted
it's definitely one-of-a-kind, but it does kinda remind me of the offspring of a menage-a-trois: opening Run + taskinst + Not yet

I love it ! I think this an amazing intro
It's really different from the past ones

totally agree:yes
and I really love this part :heart

It's amazing! The best opening other than the intro from LOVEppears and Not Yet on Secret! I'm addicted to that song like you'd never believe xD
I just wish it was a full song >=(

Oh man I love this. So getting the album. I think the hard part completely suits the Mirror title of it as well. Like someone said before, she goes ballistic looking at herself in the mirror but then regains control. Kind of like Nikki from Heroes xD.
