I love mirror, but this isn't really "new material". And Life doesn't even have a PV. Shows how important of a song it is. So we aren't getting any "New" Material really.

Wow, you're a downer. o_o;

Consider that Ayu just recorded Life, do you think there's enough time to get a PV done?

The single will release in a little more than a month. They still have covers and promotion to work out. A PV would've been crazy.

Maybe you seem to just be trying to find as many ways as you can to not like her new stuff :| I'm sure there could've been 1000 other possibilities for this single, and... you probably wouldn't have liked any of them XD~

cool... i wish i could afford it... but why does avex try to make us buy more than one of the same single just to get YOU and Depend on You?!? >.<

[Suteisi]

That sounds exciting x3~

Thanks for the info!

[fanmail]

omg this is gonna rock rock ROCK. CD+DVD version of each, please. And a CD Only too? Ooooh, a tough "decision"

[ayu_fan929]

Cool that she's using Mirrorcle World as the A-side instead of Life. I thought it would've been the other way around. Maybe Life's PV will be in an album later this year?

[Libriya]

Thanks for the news!

OMG! 4 editions???!!! It will be hard to decide, but I think I will preorder CD+DVD with Depend On You...

Eeesh 4 different versions?
I would have liked to see more change within the content. I hope the covers are really different. Not like BLUE BIRD :/

I could tell Mirrorcle World was going to be made a single though.

I'm happy with this, and I'm looking forward to it.
Nice choice of re-sung songs too. Even though a re-recorded POWDER SNOW would hae been awesome.

Thanks for posting, can't wait to pre-order ^.^

[Cyria]

Good to have some solid information about the single. I'm hoping for gorgeous covers and a nice new take on Depend on you.

[tenshi no hane]

yay Depend on you and YOU ^o^ thanks for the info

[waterballoon]

I really want to get all the versions! This 10 year anniversary seems to have ONLY JUST STARTED. Go Ayu!!!

[Melrose]

I don't get it... I'm rather disappointed. Only YOU and Depend on you get remixes, and the only real new song is Life? And it doesn't even have a PV? yay.. I also don't get the track list going on about Panasonic and random stuff on the track list? IMO, if she were to remix songs, do ones that NEED it. YOU has been remixed already for A BALLADS, and Depend on you is fine without a remix. poker face could have used a remix BADLY. And it would have been way more awesome, because then maybe the song would actually be listenable for me. Or from your letter. Or POWDER SNOW.

1 new song, and without a PV. Blargh. Why no triple A-Side single with NEW stuff. It seems like Ayu has been on a remake trip the last two years. T_T

Okay, okay, so it's better than a normal single. But still, it's her anniversary. I was hoping for something actually special.

And actually, yes, I do think there would have been enough time to get the PV done. Kelly Clarkson recorded the PV for "Never Again" in 2 days, and it has this complicated storyline thing going on with a lot of different shoots and backgrounds and special effects.

When I read the top of the first post, I was first like "omg 4 new songs AND remixes on ONE single? I am SO buying this!". Then I read that there was 1 new song, 1 long interlude and 2 remixes. T_T *shoots avex* Haven't they learned anything from GUILTY's low sales?

[Isthan]

Life is such a great title for a song, yay~

[thinkingoutloud89]

YOU? but depend on you...cool gosh i love that song ...hope it will be like one of the lives......but i would have preferd trust or poker face insted of you....maybe she will redo the A BEST?!

[Yukitora]

I can't choose between YOU and depend on you T___T

[Amai Yume]

WOW! 4 different versions?! There isn't a limited first press version is there cause I wanna get all 4 versions but better be sure which to pre-order and which to just buy at the store.

Though that post wasn't directed at me, I have to add that I would have actually been happy with about EVERY other possibility for this single, as long as it doesn't have YOU or another song that is already perfect (A Song for XX and Depend on you). IMO, if you want to listen to YOU with Ayu's mature voice get A BALLADS. XD They had better make the remixes dam good.~!

[ladytaboo]

Yay, this is exciting!! I also would've preferred that she remade poker face or some other ASFXX track, but I'm not complaining. And only a little more than a month away!

[Queen Bee]

All I can say is AWESOME! I'm definitely pre-ordering all four when they're available for pre-order.

[Tasked]

1) This is the first time ever she's releasing on a tuesday instead of a wednesday. How will that affect the first week's sales for oricon. Will the first day be week1; and the rest of the days week2; or will Ayu have an extra day in comparison to the wednesday-releases?
2) What IS the competition on that week. If i recall correctly; 4/9 was the worst date for a single 'cos Ayu wouldn't get #1 that easily.
3) Damn. YOU and Depend on You.. is that smart? those songs were good from the very start. Sure it's nice to have new vocals; but YOU was already rerecorded in A BALLADS... maybe fans would want lesser known songs (powder snow?) to be rerecorded. Plus that if for instance, powder snow got an instrumental; it'd be cooler than these instrumentals. There already are instrumentals of YOU and Depend on You..

hmm.. I dunno.. And then Life and Mirrorcle World. MW is the main song of the single, although Life is the only new song. So basically the new song gets no PV while the old/remade song gets a PV... isn't that... weird?
And multiple versions! Could that boost sales?

second hmm.. Will this be a sales-hit; or will it be a sales-flop? Could go either way. In my opinion. It seems like it's only half a single, but they just covered that up with extra's.
