Mirror thought?
 

Mirror the full song is out.

What do you think this song?

Well can say this is a intro.

I like it... though I don't like the part that begins from 00:51 sec and that lasts till 01:23

It`s creepy at the begining ^^ I like it! And there is "lala" part which I love about Ayu :D And the last part is so lovely <3

I like this song is trying to create two different images of this song.

Myth (00:00 - 00:50) | Dark (00:51-01:23)

It sounds so suprised. I don't except this from preview.

Yeah same this "lala" fits the song

I wish it was a full song, but it sounds great even as an interlude. The beginning makes me think of creepy clowns, though. :)

^I thought it had more of a military theme, kinda like the WHATEVER CDL04-05/Ladies Night PV image.

It was a nice surprise :) Full of energy and emotion.

I love it!! Really Amazing!

Well when I first heard it I really didn't like it...
But listening to it now,I really love the part when it lasts till 50 secs.
And the rest isn't that bad,but it could've been better ^^

lol best part but WHATEVER XD

My favorite intro ever :D

Yup. Best album opener. Koda, you stand no chance against Ayu. Plain and simple. (Although Koda Kumi isn't bad at all)

AYU IS STILL EMPRESS OF J-POP SUCKAHS!

Man I really love this.
Especially the opening.

Nice =)

I like it !! But remembered to me a Remix from Russian Music XD

I haven't heard it. :yes

I loved it! Should have been a full song...

Absolutely LOVE IT!! Great beginning to the album, so mysterious and creative. Omg Im buying the album now.

I LOVE the "military" + "fantasy" theme at the beginning of the song, and how it suddenly bursts into despairing darker loud rock, and then it suddenly chills out to the fantasy theme again. Too bad it's only a prelude :no It would've been one of ayu's most unique songs....

It sounds as if ayu is going to engage into a war against her mirror LOL

I definately love Mirror. Along with Not yet, I wish they were both full songs. :( I love the grunge I hear around 0:58.

This is true! I wish it was a full song, hopefully the album tracks will be this good!!

I love it! :D So good.

Although I wonder why when some people make these threads, the titles come up all.. weird.

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.

I love it, I wish it was a full song! :D

JUst like most of ayu's intros it's !!!!!!!!!!AHMAZING!

She could've released a best of with nothing but intros IMO.

<33333333!!!!!!! I love this intro especially the crazy rock part XD!

Great start to the album!

4 words: until that day remake

Two words: Try again. :D

Until that day... is more magical.

XD!

I feel it is to bad that it is an interlude, this song would have been awsome if it was full and definitly have a great PV, I imagine it kind of a combi of alterna, Ladies Night and 1 LOVE.

I LOVE the 1st and last part..the middle part..which is rockish...isn't really into me yet

I absolutely love how it starts out a little calm then gets dark and heavy then goes back to calm! Definitely one of Ayu's best intros!

i have opinions, you have yours. stop hating me cuz i don't think like you.

The heavy rock sound in the middle of the song is really exclusive, totally unexpected. I'm really happy with this song despite of the length.
And I think it's ok to call this a full song. It really deserves that.
And it can be short but far than enough to make it a full song not just an interlude

sora excuse me. I don't even know if you are friends or not but it's well. About what truehappiness said, that doesn't means he hates you or dislike you. It's just his opinion. I hope you won't hate me for this...

The best Ayu song. It reminds me until that Day... too, but it sounds more Hide & Seek-ish for me. I would love if it would become a full song like Kumi's INTRODUCTION of Black Cherry.

AWESOME. that's all, lol.

I think it sounds like a mix between until that Day... and Free & Easy. It is pretty weird O_O.

Nice intro-prelude.
I like the rhythm(dunno if I wrote right i.i) and ayu's vocal. 4/5 because of the short lyrics(prelude, duh)

I LOVE this. I wish it were a full song...maybe she'll take a leaf from Kuu's book and make a full version for a digital single?! =]

i rleli like it!!

its so kool!

i also love Not Yet, they both should have been full songs!

Whoever said I hated you? The opinion is what I disliked.

i love it! the rock part in the middle is amazing. :yes

its darn amazing! i was so shocked by that sudden rock part....its just wild and crazy! love it

Oh like this song!!!! thanks val!!!

pretty darn awesome! i wasn't expecting an intro quite like this.

i'm kinda excited for the album now! :)

I think this is the best Ayu album opener. EVER. Followed by 'Not Yet' as a very close second. :yes

Ergh, this song is great!
Too bad it's an intro..
I really love the music.

At first (the preview) it made me dizzy...like something that never end...

But after listening to the full version...it was the most rocking Intro ever...the marching band is cool, giving a 'ready to war' feeling, and the rock was dark!

It was amazing, I really like it....

I personally don't like it that much. Her new music has kind of died down on me. I don't know why. I found the song slightly irritating, but interesting.

I love it. It makes me so jazzed about the album. Can't waaaaaaaiiiiitt!

That'd be a fun idea!

you always act like you hate me though :(

^stop spamming!

I think they lyrics are very nice + the song is catchy ahaha

I like it. it's good.

but Not yet is better :yes

Nice drum composition, but I wouldn't say that it is her best opening. I like her dreamy techno openings best.

After listening to it for a few times, I really do like it and am looking forward to hearing everything else. This album sounds like it's going to be so dark and introspective! Oooo!

I absolutely love the song~ It has a great emotional and dark feel to it, a perfect way to start off this awesome album~ :D
