No text needed.


Oh yeah, the sample is too short for me to really say anything about the song. :P

Alright, who the hell let Kaoru Okubo near the strings again? XD Sounds like this is gonna be "Nanchatte Renai" part 3 ("Seishun Collection" was part 2).

Yeah, this is definitely a wait-for-the-whole-song-before-judging thing for me as well, because right now it's not looking as exciting as the previous two singles so far. But hey, we'll finally get to hear how Crazy Arm Sakura fits in with everyone else!

I like how they use Sakura's broader sound to offset Reina's and especially Riho's more piercing sound. I definitely hear more Reina and Riho solo lines, but I assume Reina's lines will pretty much all be inherited by Sakura after she graduates. I think I heard a really short bit of Daaishi right before Fukuchan before the break. Good to hear them getting at least secondary attention in the second verse.

I think you can really hear how closely Tsunku and the arrangers listen to popular trends in music. The riff you hear in the intro and after the choruses reminds me a lot of stuff I've heard from LMFAO and Gangnam Style. If you're going for a popular sound nowadays, I suppose that would be your best bet, eh?

That brick wall cover is as ugly as a brick. :lol: The rest seem nice, though...the Sayu/Mizuki one in particular looks good, and yeah, the Riho/Sakura one definitely stands out.

Tsunku's comments on the new song and it's b-sides:

Kinda looking forward to how the Reina/Haruna/Ayumi song turns out with Ayumi doing some rap parts.

Preview of the music video and dance!

Few seconds of song still sounds kinda bland. ;)

Dance looks cool/promising. 8)

That comment at the end. After recording the PV, all the members had muscle pains. :rofl:

That was my first impression when only hearing the chorus preview at first, but just like the recent Berryz single I'm liking this more after hearing the whole thing. My comparison to certain past singles wasn't meant to be completely negative, especially considering I liked the songs in question, but the string patterns just sounded a bit too familiar for me. But hearing the rest of the song and all of the pieces come together left a better impression on me.

Speaking of which, Dance Shot time!

I gotta say, and I do so with no bias/disrespect intended whatsoever at all.......but even in their "prime", I don't think that there would've been any way in hell that the 1st-4th gen members could have/would have been able to pull off a dance routine that intense and intricate.

JPH!P :heart:'s kuro808, Fushigidane, ChrNo, Jab & marimari. Always.

Wow this is kinda awesome not gonna lie. I love all the intricacies of the dance and how crisply they dance to it. Not only is the dance really good but the girls pull it off so excellently. It makes you really proud of the girls who struggled so much with dance when they first joined.

^THIS.  :) After listening to the whole song, other than wishing that chorus end bit be more catchy, I actually thought it overall sounded really great. Very nice beat, and liking it much more after a few listens.

Dance definitely wins. :thumbup
The whole PV had around 4-5 cuts though. Normal PVs they only need 1-2 cuts. Making me wonder if a perfect run of this dance is even humanly possible. :nervous
I'd gladly be proved wrong again by them though. haha~ :D

It seems common that a group just learned the choreography shortly before shooting an MV.  Sometimes, they even make changes practically on the set. In the case of C-ute's Aitai Aitai Aitai na, there was a decision made at the very last minute to switch Chisato and Airi for the intro. 

In addition, the fact that only clips of dance shots are used in the final MV means that they aren't going to be picky about having everything in one clean take.  It's not that they can't do a perfect take after sufficient practice, it's that they haven't had tons of practice and don't have to do it perfectly for the MV anyway.  By the time they perform on stage, they've usually ironed out all the rough spots and usually perform even better than what you see in the MV.

I love how there's lots of wing-flapping moves that match the lyrics. I think this may be the most intricate dance I've seen them ever do!
