[03/07] 「 VERY BEAUTY 」 Berryz Koubou 13th single (DL single p.16)

[Gblue]

thanks ayabie!
first listen, so far i quite like it. seems a bit shouty, but that might be the setting i put it on to calm down the tinniness my speakers make. it doesnt sound much like the usual leads though! i hope i'm right

[Kei]

I like the arrangement and the melody.

However, the key of the vocals is way too high. Yurina sounds great despite that.

[Ayabie]

So I guess the leads are Risako/Miyabi/Yurina? I'm not hearing anyone but them.

また鏡を見つめてる　ああどうしてこんな顔よ
明日の朝目が覚めたときには　美しくなってたらいいな

なぜだかケンカした　ああ大好きなあの人と
またこっちが先に謝るの　仕方のないことね

どうしてみんな　無邪気にはしゃがないのよ
どんな夢を　描いているのでしょうか

素敵な女性になりたくて　涙をガマンしても
毎日元気に生きてゆく　それが魅力よ　それが女よ


ただ一人になりたくて　ああ遠回りしてみたの
でも今度は歩こうあの人と　センチな恋してる

どうして春はドキドキしてくるのでしょう
街の中をお花のにおいがしてる

素敵な人生見つめてる　大人に近づくから
毎日元気で美しく　それが魅力よ　それが女よ


素敵な人生見つめてる　大人に近づくから
毎日元気で美しく　それが魅力よ　それが女よ

The radio rip doesn't really do it any justice, me thinks.

[sousora]

The lack of Momo is actually working for me now that I've listened to it again *hides* I can't really spot her anywhere. RisakoMiyabi is... more than nice

[jompuan]

thank you very much

Ayabie <3

suteki na jinsei mitsumeteru
otona ni chikazuku kara
mainichi genki de utsukushiku
sore ga miryoku yo
sore ga onna yo

The intro gave me hope that it'd be nice like Natsu Remember you, but it went downhill from there. This song is almost in the Nanana level to me. Why the heck does this have to happen when I decided to buy this single.

[Kyobu]

I LOVE it!  Like, fallen in love on the first listen.  Would have prefered to hear a few more voices but, it's all good, brilliant song.

EDIT:  Just read all the replies, wow, I'm quite shocked people are so dissapointed.  Considering it's a low quality radio rip, I still though the song was pretty special.

[Hitsu]

Thanx ayabie!

I was expecting something like semi or koishiteru...but i don't think this one is THAT bad. The radio rip doesn't really help too!
I think we got used to Berryz upper beat songs, so it'll just take some time to get used to this one i guess.

But yeah, it's a bit disappointing.

[freya86]

I like it, but I also liked the Munasawagi radio rip and then later hated the song, so that doesn't really say much.

The live performances of this song are gonna be fun (or hell, depends on the way you look at it)

[Ayabie]

I'm personally more interested in hearing the coupling.

Here you go tama:

Oh right, I'm so fuckin devastated that Momo got no solo lines in this Nanana. One thing that annoys me about her lack of solo lines is that it generates the talk ablout her grad again. And it always makes me paranoid.

And one word: Gag.

[d44-sugaya]

Actually, is a good song , some feel only the key of the vocals is too high

[Gblue]

no momo is definately making it odd. i dont like it as much after the 3rd listen :/

[Ahiko]

I don't like it. No Chinami, no good song:(  why Momoko has only one solo line?

[Kyobu]

I have had this on repeat for about an hour (which I shouldn't be doing since that normally kills songs) and I still adore it. I know everyone has their own opinions, but I seriously don't understand how so many people dislike this song.

[zoolander]

I'm thinking it's probably because of the radio rip, but this song is just piercing. The voices, the synth. Pretty nice song if I could get past that.

and I'm sure some of that will be cleared up once a better quality version is availible.

[mr.niigaki]

Thanks for the rip, and I guess it's an okay song... The rip is pretty painful which is ruining things quite a bit for me. Hell, I couldn't even to the whole thing because it gave me a headache. And Berryz slow songs are really hit and miss for me, and this one is really leading towards a miss. This seems like a very coupling track to me rather than title track.

The lack of Momo fills me with a terrible, terrible sadness. There is also too much Risako for me to handle at the beginning. It fills me with a lesser sadness that I'm not liking this one.

After those outfits that will probably be in the photobook and now the song don't make this cd very promising so far. Hopefully the coupling track will be filled with goodness, but after a single like Munasawagi this is a big dissapointment for me.

[Cookie]

Sounds way different from the other Berryz singles. I don't dislike this song or love it.

Thanks for the radio rip btw.

[wakaba_doll]

Hopefully the coupling track will be filled with goodness, but after a single like Munasawagi this is a big dissapointment for me.

I couldn't agree with this more But maybe since Munasawagi was full of such win, it's hard for anything to compete with it? *tries to give Berryz some credit * I really do hope the coupling track makes up for this though I really don't like it!

[ChrNo]

...


what to say...

well, first thks for the radio rip.

i'm not really disappointed as i didn't expect anything, but...
hum...
what i like in this song is the "pan pan pan " of the piano especially at the begining and those lines :

mata kagami wo mitsumeteru

nazeda ka kenka shita

mata kocchi ga saki ni ayamaru no

doushite minna mujaki ni hasha ga nai no yo
donna yume wo (outch) egaiteiru no deshou ka

after hearing it several time i think i kinda like all the chorus...

suteki na josei ni naritakute
namida wo gaman shite mo
mainichi genki ni ikiteyuku
sore ga miryoku yo


the other parts are really killing my ears...><
but i guess it's because of the mp3 quality...
the melody of the begining and that we can hear in the chorus is...meh...

i almost didn't recognize Yurina inthe second part...
and i really didn't hear momo...i heard some Captain in the doushite minna part...

the good thing is that Miya gets a lot of lines as always hehe <3

and...that song really fits their ugly outfit...i really get that feeling...about french old song...

at first i thought it was like waracchaou but with the kinda sad feeling....melancholy...
it could have been a good melancholy....but their high lines killed it...
sorry for Risako lover but the first part really is....
actually it's not only her fault, it's also the melody that i don't like....

i think the only good parts of that song is the first part of the intro and the chorus (melodies)

let's hope for a better c/w

i felt like....

Mm got a crapy song and Bk got muna awesomeness

Mm got the awesome egao and Bk...this...
