Just noticed her voice is going from left, to right the first part of the verses.

Also, do you guys know if Shimizu and Sato usually work with her on arrangements?

I see W popping out few times in the conversation. I think I prefer it over this new song. It's much more rock (still a pop song) and the arrangements are more interesting (even if it's mostly electric guitar) and laid out. I wouldn't call 23rd Monster rock, it's more (dark) synth pop.

I love the guitar and bass during the first notes of the intro on 23rd Monster.
The song overall is growing on me. I think I will end up enjoying it more than DaD which didn't grab my attention for more than a few days.

You may know Sato as "ats-"

He did this mix of Dreamed a Dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hrgr...b_channel=ats-
