BLUE BIRD - 7/10. It's okay, not the best, but it's a nice song, best track of the two new tracks.

Beautiful Fighters - 3/10. Too cutesy, the electronic part is repeated too heavily, and I just don't like the pep-rally cheers. Didn't think that part was actually on the track, but it is - which explains the idea behind the PV.

Ladies Night ~another night~ - 9/10. A good rearrangement, the best thing on the single.

BLUE BIRD Harderground Remix - 2/10. Not a fan of these types of remixes, so it doesn't appeal to me.

PVs - 4/10. Just too much of the dancers. As an Ayu fan, I want to see more of her and less of the dancers. BLUE BIRD was okay, looked spectacular but too much like a holiday promo ad. Beautiful Fighers was just too mixed up with two different ideas that had no connection. After hearing the track, though, it seems the pep-rally part came from that, and the scenes of Ayu and women dancers making mistakes was just thrown in as something more interesting to watch. Just not a good mix of ideas for me, and made it seem like a rushed job.


Overall - 6/10. Above average. BLUE BIRD and Ladies Night ~another night~ save it from being another mediocre single. Bit disappointing for 40th single, but a bit of an improvement from the previous single.
