^Absolutely!

I love love love the song so far, I think I'll be listening to this one for a long time!

I don't mind the cover but the font and the way the title is angled on her finger look like a ten minute job

Similar to My All, but this one sounds more powerful.
Interestingly all the anniversary songs are rockish songs.

Took me a while to understand your message because I forgot Tell all existed, and I was really struggling to find the connection with MY ALL

It's true, all the anniversary songs have that 'angry' feeling about them! So far I'd say: 23rd Monster > Mirrorcle World > Tell All, and that's coming from a big MW fan!

Mirrorcle World will always have a special place on my heart because it was one of the songs that made me fall in love with her and everything about it is iconic: the music, single cover, MV, live performance at AT2008...
Probably 23rd Monster won't caught the spot but it certainly sparkles to me hahaha
Tell All is a compilation of all the rhythms she played along her life to me, I love the concept but I have mixed feelings about it

MW is a such a mythical song at this point you're right, if only for that AT 2008 performance! I'll have to reeavaluate when I'm not on my 'new song high' anymore ahaha

Well simple: now they can remaster it for A BEST 3

I don’t like the font placement either. It really gives me Live Journal icon design contests circa 2005 ahah.

They could have used at least some overlay filter

THE FLASHBACKS FROM THESE THINGS

I love the song though. If there is going to be a PV I sure can't wait to see it.

After few more listens imo the song had this Secret/GUILTY vibe but with a modern take (?) not sure if that makes sense lol I love it!

Japanese netizens are gonna go mad that she's 'got ANOTHER new voice' hahaha. I like the song but it does sound kinda flat, if they're remastering A BALLADS 2 why couldn't they pay attention to the mixing of her current music?

I like the fact that there are 3 spotlights reflecting in her eyes - is it on purpose, maybe not, but goes well with the 23rd anniversary theme

Listened to 23rd Monster as it became available where I am. I really like it, while recognising that it does have flaws (the arrangement does feel flat at times, and if it was richer and more nuanced in its layering, it would be a convincing MY STORY - Secret era reject imo), there is an 'aliveness' to this track that I haven't heard from Ayu in a while (the Haru Yo Koi cover aside). This feels like a return to form - I'm looking forward to listening to what comes next!

Ugh so much better! Thank you!

Shimomura mentioned René Gruau on his insta in regards to the hat and red lip pictures so it seems that was his inspiration?

Well, I really liked the whole thing. I'm glad that this is a rockish song and not a ballad. The photos look stunning.
