First off, I have to comment on how pretty 浜崎あゆみ looks on the cover of this single. This has to be one of the most beautiful pictures I have seen of her. Many people have had complaints about the new rock sound 浜崎あゆみ has adapted, but I really like her new sound. It’s nice to see that she changes her style and isn’t afraid to be different. “Mirrorcle World”, was originally the opening track to “Guilty”. This single is the full version of the song; to celebrate her 10th Anniversary as a recording artist. I really liked this song, I think is one of the best singles she has released. The video was also very enjoyable. This new direction that 浜崎あゆみ is taking her career in is turning out to be great. A great start to a 10th year Anniversary.

The b-side to the single is “Life”, I also really enjoyed this song; however, it didn’t really live up tot he title track which is the best track. This singles also includes either the song “YOU (10th Anniversary version)” , or “Depend on you (10th Anniversary version)” depending on which version of the single you purchase. These new versions are also good, they are updated to include her new rock sound. They practically sound like new songs. It’s nice to hear the change but, I still prefer the original versions of “You”, “Depend on You”.
