More Aimer is never a bad thing. Also huh, triple A-side again. Covers are pretty cool too. I believe there's been some samples released of the tracks but I'll probably ignore them until the actual songs are out.
Not particularly happy that the amazarashi x Aimer footage is seemingly exclusive to the fanclub version, I'm interested in seeing that as I like amazarashi. Guess I'll just have to scour the aftermarket for a copy if I want it.

Must admit I wasn't expecting Black Bird to be a harder rock song, but I'm ok with that. Sounds promising on initial listen and should sound amazing live. How long it'll take before we get a live release is a different question entirely.
Tiny Dancers reminds me a bit of ONE, albeit better. Kind of makes me think of ONE's drive and flow but mixed with some of Aimer's earlier works (After Rain/Sleepless Nights era) in regards to the melodies and vocal style. It's a pretty upbeat song. She also sounds like she's having a lot of fun singing it.
思い出は奇麗で is probably the most Aimer-esque song on here, nothing overly standout about it. It's a really nice song though.
今日から思い出 Evergreen ver. is actually not that different from the original, as far as I can tell. Sounds a bit cleaner and more balanced I guess? I don't really listen to the original much, more likely to listen to the Live in Church ver. from After Dark than anything. I wonder where she's going with all these coloured remakes. Are we going to get a rainbow EP with all of them on or something? They seem to be lesser known songs she's redoing so maybe.
Overall the first listen is pretty positive, but it'll probably take a while to get used to it. Most songs take a while to grow on me and Aimer is generally no exception (unless it's something like 'us') so I'll give it time. Ref:rain has grown to be one of my favourite songs so I have good expectations.

The Tiny Dancers video has been released on Youtube! (this is a reupload since in my country isn't available)

I like how now Aimer is starting to show more on the stage by walking and moving. When I watched her firsts concerts the atmosphere it was quite dark and mysterious but in blacn et noit where she performed ONE I've noticed a big change and it happen the same in Tiny dancers, I love seeing her so excited and happy :')
Also, I'm pretty happy with this song and Blackbird, since most of Aimer's songs are pretty chill and gloomy it's nice to listen to more lively songs.

BLACK BIRD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
SO AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE
Srsly though... Black Bird is likely to get into my top 5 easily. I love the rock and strings in it, plus our always badass Aimer on vocals ^w^
In terms of the other songs, I thought Omoi wa Kirei de was pretty relaxing of a song. Tiny Dancers tbh just seemed like ONE ver. 2 (which is a bit ironic with the name). Kyou Kara Omoi de to me also showed its age a little. It felt a bit out of place, a song from an old era that was brought forth. That said it's still a nice song ^w^

I'm expecting the same energy like her other previous singles for Black Bird, but I couldn't find it. I still enjoy the song a lot though.
Tiny Dancers is basically softer and mid-tempo version of ONE.
Omoide wa Kirei de turned out to become my favorite track for this single. It's just really heartwarming.
After the Magic Blue and Scarlet, now it's the Evergreen one. Not much different compared to her previous self-cover but it sounds better.
I like this single as much as Ref:rain. Can we hope for an album after this release? It's been 3 multiple singles so far but I'm not sure which song will be placed on the album.
