All three songs are great, each in its own way -- this just seems like such a triple-home-run single. And I love everything about Mikaeri Bijin -- it seems like one of those rare songs that's an instant sentimental favorite from the moment that you hear the first notes.
Between the PV itself and the color theory that avanpiper posted, I get the feeling that Mikaeri Bijin isn't just about Sayu (although I don't want to take anything away from how much it is about her) -- she's the last Morning Musume member who was in the group with any of the original members, so in a way, this marks the end of an era as much as Kaori's graduation (and the end of the Hello!Morning/Haromoni era as well).
The end of an era -- but (it goes without saying these days) hardly the end of the new/reborn Morning Musume...
If madness made us strong, we would all be invincible.
