Yup, my thoughts exactly ^_^

THIS!
I agree 100%!

I was thinking the same thing, after I had read the lyrics for "Don't look back" for the first time!

And this is something I've always loved about her lyrics; that these experiences and feelings would be hers, and yet she words them in such a way that you can apply them to your own situation, and these songs become dear to you for what they mean to you and about your own situations also.

I agree with this. They use the A BEST 2 cover to signify the 'past'. Its all crossed and scribbled on, which signifies something in the past that's worth forgetting, that's not worth looking back on. Also a little reference to ourselves which used the A BEST cover is a similar setting. Did anyone else find it eerie, that last shot of the A BEST 2 cover in the PV?

I think the PV also shows that those psychological/mental struggles are hidden too, behind a smile and make up. But then we see the other side that's tormented, which is the twist in the PV. Because from the onset, ayu doesn't look like she's upset. But gradually that facade fades away. There's flashes of ayu's face in 2 as well to make this point. You also see the A BEST 2 cover in scenes where only half of it has been scribbled on. Ayu covers half of her face while singing 'don't look back!'. So there's a lot of references to that in the video.

Also in the end of the song there are those lines
"The curtains fall in this way
and you?"

I think it's a question for people who want ayu to stay like in the past (which the song suggests to not look back at) if they also move on and not just she herself.

Yeah, that's a good point.

I always thought of it as; 'I'll be doing it this way, but what will you do?' It's almost like it doesn't matter what another person does, but it's of interest. Sort of like 'will this journey go forward with us together or will you stay behind?' I'm not sure what brought me thinking in this manner, but for some reason I felt like it fit.

[Cherry Dynamite]

^ Yeah that's what I thought.

Watched all of the PVs Don't Look Back in full is such an awesome song, I'm in love with it! I also really liked the PV. Everything in general was really cool, I'm super hyped for this album.

Whoa! o.O

Hahaha! I like the way you describe it. But I actually kinda like the way she mouths the lyrics. I do it now when I lipsynch to LD. Haha! It's so fun. kazu shimoko ain't so bad...

three interludes is better. I'm a bit skeptical on where they are though, I think the end of the album needed an interlude, between sunrise and the ballads.

so.. when's the full album going to leak? I'm predicting by middle of next week.
