I wrote a long response to the amazing posts in this thread on my phone, pulled a classic Ayu and lost it all.

In short: I agree with jiarongisme. I feel like immature is the big show piece because it's a song about how it isn't naive or immature to wish for happiness. The original comes from a young person told this by the world/adults, in CdM Ayu is telling us/convincing herself that after everything she still believes in finding happiness.

I think Midnight Circus comes from all the references to making it to tomorrow (literally and metaphorically), holding out through the night and being alone at night. Most of the songs from this tour fit this. I think we've all sat alone at night having a worry about ourselves, it's the tour of that.

As for the title, I like Alone the most as it's what I tale from the album personally. Being alone is different to loneliness, and the exploration of when it tips to loneliness is something I love in Ayu's music. The others all work too though, if it was just meant to be alone she would've called it that. Atone, as one, Ayu going back to square one... Such a great album and tour!
