What do you think of Mirrorcle World?

[ExodusUK]

Love it. The song is so much layered and thicker compared to the original. Best Ayu single since Fairyland/Altera for me.

[hamasaki_edwin]

it's absolutely better than original. idk if it's only my ear but the reff doesn't sound as noisy as the old one which is a good thing (at least for me). the intro part is very cool!!! first it started with orchestra then the dial-up sound appeared and there it goes

[ExodusUK]

The only part I don't like is how the first chorus ends.

[zoomzoom]

I think it's awesome and very powerful, they didn't ruin it like i feared. It really works as a full song. Only I can't imagine this in Paris.. hmm

[jeffycue]

the beginning sounded like it came from some Endless Love OST (Korean Drama if some of you dont know)

[Lumine]

really like it <3

I love the 'wowo wow yeah yeah' part !

and the guitar solo is amazing *-*!

[polka-dot-jewel]

The beginning was interesting! I really liked it. The orchestra part at the beginning reminded me of the prelude for Marionette...it's almost as if it could be it's own prelude, haha.

I like how the first chorus was re-mastered. (Actually, after listening to all of it, it sounds like all of her original singing parts were re-recorded.) It's almost as if they added more of an orchestra sound to it. (It sounds like it's not as techo-y as the original version.)

Of course, I love the new parts added. There's a lot going on, imo, but it's really amazing. It's a great arrangement, and her and her team did a great job on this. Haha, I really love this. <3 I can't wait to hear LIFE!

wow i love the last bit how the beats totally changed, the only thing i can complain about it is that somtimes she is over using her vibrato.

[benslave4u]

I really really like this song!!!!! it's soo theatrical!!! Well it's not like she hasn't had theatrical songs! but yeah it's awesome!! LOVE IT!!

[amorphose]

I seriously almost went into cardiac arrest over this.
The strings in the beginning-- brilliant.
The relayered background music-- amazing.
The re-recorded vocals-- stunning.

I'm seriously considering this one of Ayu's best releases ever.
I haven't been this in love with a track so immediately since Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru and that's the reason I started listening to JPop.

I can't wait to see the PV filmed in Paris. The strings at the beginning scream Parisian feel.

Love, love, love, love it! <3
Ayumi Hamasaki, you are genius.

[Rurutia]

I actually get a sense of paris in this song....weird...lol..like historical france + modern france. lol

anyway. The song is soooo good...the bridge is amazing. The intro is very unique. I wish she would've lessened the vibrato a teensy bit....but then again that's an ayu thing.

Amazing job on making mirror a full song.

Although one complaint is that in the chorus, the instruments seem much louder than ayu's voice. In Mirror it was the opposite.

Yea I like how they emphasized the strings a lot more.

Yea I agree...I wish she would've done less vibrato

Yeah, I hear that, too. Maybe it's a quality thing? I know these promo CD qualities are a lot different than those from the actual CD (even the video), so maybe her vocals will be louder once we receive a higher, CD quality?

[s1012h]

i thought it was okay
but after another listen, it really intrigued me
the beginning was totally unexpected - i loved it nonetheless
however, the chorus should've been WAY STRONGER. Mirror's chorus was powerful, but Mirrorcle World's was toned down when it shouldn't have been
the bridge of the song is great too

overall i'm pleased with the song, it certainly did not ruin my impression of Mirror

[Ayu_no_tenshi]

omg...i actually LOVE it. i wasn't expecting it to be this good (or strange lol). best single in a while!

NOW I'M READY FOR THE PV!!! HEHE

yeah i think it's just the quality

[Catzi]

It is okay and I can't really compare it the original Mirror.

I feel like the parts were very choppy, like the strings in the beginning and then the main part, and then the beats in the middle. Nothing was really connecting. I like the parts, just not how they connect.

Question:
Is the "c" hard or soft?

Mirrorkle World or Mirrorsle World?

I think a hard "c" would be better, but I was pronouncing a soft one until I had this thought.
