"Mirror Ball" (typeset as MIRROR BALL) is a single by Alice Nine, released on March 26, 2008. The title track is the theme song of the live-action adaption of collectible card game and anime ''Aquarian Age'' (specifically, one of the stories, ''Juvenile Orion''), in which the band also appears. The single was released in three versions: two limited editions and one regular edition. The limited editions contain a second B-side, "Kiseki," and an additional DVD with a single music video. The DVD for Type A includes the music video for "Mirror Ball," and the DVD for Type B includes the music video for "Eraser -Memoire d'une Fleur-."〔 〕 The song "Eraser -Memoire d'une Fleur-" is a remade version of the song "Eraser" (イレイザー) from the band's ''Alpha'' album. The song "Mirror Ball" was later rearranged with piano accompaniment for the band's third album, ''Vandalize.'' The single reached #6 on the Oricon weekly rankings, selling 13,801 copies in its first week. ==Development history== The song "Mirror Ball" came into conception before the release of Alice Nine's second album, ''Alpha''. However, it did not become a full-fledged single until the director of the ''Aquarian Age'' film, who also directed the music video for the band's "Jewels" single, approached the band in request of a theme song for the movie. After reading the film's script, the band decided that the theme for the song would be "human's light and shadow." The base concept for the song was then adjusted in accordance with this theme, and it reflects in the song's lyrics and title, as vocalist Shou stated, "The title, 'Mirror Ball,' is also one of my expressions of 'human’s light and shadow'. A mirror ball can’t shine by itself, it needs shadows to shine. I compared that to life."〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=jhouserock.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mirror Ball (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
