first, i disliked the song (well i heard it in the middle of the night, almost morning around 3 AM, so i didn't dare to put my volume up) haha..
then, i watched the PV Preview, i love itt..
and nowww..saw the whole PV even though it's LQ..
it's just full of mysterious sound on the song, it's sooooo mystic...woah~~
i'm soooooooo so so so so loving it..
it's simple but totally unexpected that the other half of Ayu is the messed up Ayu..
woww..
awesomeness!!

It's INTENSE. I love it. The part where she finally lost it -> awesomeness. It's kind of sad how it does reflect her thoughts, but I'm glad she has the guts to express herself like that. And the editing definitely was top notch like SURREAL_RAINBOW said. I'm loving it.

THE PV is the best PV I have ever seen (), it's dramatic, powerful, and the part where you see Ayumi's face mangled and scarred and imperfect, I gasped. It was perfect. The song is amazing as well. But the PV is amazing. The best.

Love the song and the PV!
Seriously one of the best Ayu has ever done.
The song is something different for her and even if some vocals in it sound a bit weak it works grandiose.
And the PV is so deep and full of emotion. She isn't forcing it in the video, it looks real and touching. Reminds me of ourselves at some points.
This is the Ayu I love!

idk if it's just me but i've been over Microphone the day after it leaked. =x and i didn't even hear it much.

for me, Don't look back beats Microphone by a long shot. i'm dying to keep listening to it but i don't wanna wear it out before the album is even out.

i really didn't like don't look back... but the video was so beautiful from the previews that it was slowly turning me towards it.

THEN THE FULL VIDEO CAME OUT.

now i'm a convert. so beautiful. for me the video itself is so much better than microphone or slt. they are just TOO busy, where as don't look back has an elegant minimalism to it. LOVES.

Dont look back saves the album for me now.. i hated all the other songs and videos so far.. Don't look back has changed my opinion of this being the worst album.. the song and PV is clearly about her going deaf in one ear, hence the imperfect side of her face.. one side being perfect and the other messed up represents the deaf side.

Sexy little things is terrible in my opinion, i can see she took a risk with it but it was just too much in my opinion. Microphone would have been much much better if she had cut out all those different people taking up half the pv, just looked stupid having that cleaner breakdancing wtf lol.. she should have kept it dark and focused on her .. i liked how she moved the screen with her finger or crushed them like paper.. but it should have been all about her not those other people.

I really really like it.

I keep seeing posts that says its boring but I dont' think that. I think its different and shows variety. So I really like it. I like the PV too!

I wasn't terribly impressed with the PV until all the twists, and then I was just floored. I was like...'She's absolutely so cute in front of her ABestII cover but I'm so bored with just seeing her profile in the other scene' and then all of a sudden it was like she was Two Face/The Joker from Batman or Eric from The Phantom of the Opera! I was so impressed! And I absolutely loved when they cut her face in half during the other scenes to show half happy, half sad Ayu or whatever.

Needless to say, I was thoroughly surprised and pleased by the end of the PV.
