After watching the news footage which reveals more of the PV, I'm sold! The part where Mayuyu sings to the camera in the virtual world is just what I'm looking for. There's that eye contact with the viewer that every idol PV needs to make it complete (in my opinion at least).
While I agree with SomethingWild about electropop being one market that AKB48 has yet to conquer, I would like to see Mayuyu try more music styles for her future solo releases as she still has a lot of room and time for experiments. I love her CG character but I want her to develop further as she has the potential to be an all-rounded entertainer. Aside from her usual cute image, she can do pure & innocent (Sayonara no Hashi), cool (UZA), eccentric (Saba Dol) and beautiful (Team A's Kodoku na Hoshizora). I'm so excited just thinking about the possibilities!
Mayu is the future and the future is now.
Quote of the Day!
First impressions of the other songs on the single based on the previewsChiheisen no kanata wa doko ni aru? - Beyond the horizon -: Based on the title alone, I was expecting an emotional ballad but I guess we have that covered with Sayonara no Hashi (which I simply adore). Not bad. I am hearing hopefulness in the song. An easy listening track, I would say.
Heart no Soup: The obligatory upbeat song
2-ri no Yoake: My favourite of the bunch. Curious, young love is in the air~ The song has an old-school vibe with the brass instruments which I really appreciate. Makes me want to fall in love again
Koio fun Jatta: I like the playful feel of this one. Looking forward to the full song!
