my question is what does it bring to the movie?
I havent read the manga so i might be missing something, but from what I have read the song just doesnt fit.
And usually when it comes to music they try to fit to a theme.
Thats why a lot of soundtracks are INSPIRED from the movie and the OST is made for the movie...
evolution is neither of those.

It has to do more with AYU then the song itself. Its about the fact that its one of the most famous songs by one of the most famous pop idol. Its a movie about a woman surviving the business in Tokyo, as Ayu has (this was stated in the interview with the director.)It mirrors the theme of fame. So it fits perfectly.

So its not really the song, but what was going on at the time that the song was released??
So say if Ayumi released Born to Be... around that time you think they would of picked that song too, because it was what ayumi released during that time in her career...

Interesting thought process. So i wonder if they are trying to make illusions to ayumi throughtout the movie?
Ill have to read the manga.

The film kinda sounds like the character could be ayu and evolution is one of her signature songs
