Thoughts on BLUE BIRD as a whole?

[truehappiness]

I think that this is a very solid single with really outstanding remixes.

Despite all that many have said.. it's quite a piece of work from Ayu.

I think its worthy of being the 40th anniversary single :] It seems like they really pulled a lot of stops despite the whole cover issue. ~_~ Different DVDs, different OBIs, semi-different covers, different CD-art-gradients..posters..

BLUE BIRD - 10/10
I like the beginning melody.. it's so.. 'dollhouse-y' :p The chorus makes me want to get up and like, spin around or something. Seriously. Summer is definitely the season she's trying to portray here, and it's even more evident in the PV, which I think fits this song perfectly~ PERFECTLY. /grawr


Beautiful Fighters - 9/10
Mm. I love this song. It makes me want to smile xD Whenever I listen to it, I want to sing along or something.. I need lyrics /death. This does seem like a song that would totally fit some sort of shoujo anime though [not that it's an anime song.. but it has this.. feeling.. something to do with the arrangement..] The message that the lyrics send is really inspiring as well~ <3 <3 The PV could've used some work, but.. yeah. xD It is what it is, you know? This is a good song if you want to be enlightened after a bad day, as is BLUE BIRD.

Ladies Night ~another night~ - 100000/10
...oh my god. This song was quite a surprise. It's a LOT better than I expected. A LOT better. The guitar in the background is quite amazing. I envy tasuku. He probably was the one who played it and stuff /AGH AGH AGH. This is truly the rock essence of Ayu.. too bad it's a rearrangement. :[ :[ :[ I wanna headbang or something because of this song. :p I love the part at like 3:10 when she's singing to only this acoustic guitar sound xD

BLUE BIRD [Harderground Mix] - 10/10
WOAH~ I usually don't like trance mixes from Ayu, but.. woahwai. This one isn't as '...oh. It's just like, the chorus over and over again.' or something. It really sounds like something worthy of playing inside of a club or something. Great job, NISH~ :p THE CHORUS IS MADE INTO LIKE.. OMG /DIES OF THE AMAZING SOUNDS

Now for an Ayumix-thing to come out again.. Until then, this single should hold us off. XD

10/10 whee!
