02.Beautiful Fighters - 4/10. This song is just plain wrong. At least with songs like BLUE BIRD, the awkward transition leads to a good chorus, whereas this song's awkward transition leads to one of the WORST things to ever hit my ears. Just plain bad. The only thing that saves it are the semi-good verses and "refreshing" vibes.

03.Ladies Night ~Another Night~ - 5/10. How unnecessary. Rearranging a song that was perfectly fine as a pop song. The rock sound is just awkward and doesn't work well with this song. The chorus just doesn't sound good without the pop arrangment. Ayu should have just given us a real B-side or something to make the single worth buying.

04.BLUE BIRD Harderground Remix - 6/10. It's not any better than the original song, so I gave it the same score. It's alright, but nothing amazing like that WILL -Wall5- remix from last year.

05.BLUE BIRD Instrumental - 7/10. The music was pretty nice, and it actually sounds a lot better without Ayumi's vocals. But who buys a single for instrumentals only? Not me.

06.Beautiful Fighters Instrumental - 7/10. Just like BLUE BIRD, this one sounds a lot better without vocals, and way better without that poor excuse of a chorus, vocally.

Overall, it gets a 35/70, which is a 50% (F). So as much as I would be a fool for not buying A, I'd be just as much of a fool if I wasted money on this poor excuse for a 40th anniversary maxi-single. I'm so glad that Koda Kumi's got her big summer single to keep me happy this summer.

(off topic) Just through curiosity BanFan, where did you get the 70? there are only 6 tracks in the album and since they are all out of 10 shouldn't it be 35/60?
