[8/20] S/mileage 17th single "Aa Susukino / Chikyuu wa Kyou mo Ai wo Hagukumu"

[Obsidian]

Chikyuu is my favourite too, I think I prefer the MV for it too even though it looks like they just reused the remains of the TokiSora set.

Aa Susukino really does have a lot of similarities to Platinum Musume and for the most part I think that's really positive.

Susukino definitely has its electro-aspects to it that most H!P currently has but in the background you hear a faint piano(?-esque) instrument that's really reminiscent of Shouganai and Nanchatte.

Furthermore the song is a duo lead between Kanon and Meimi that gives me strong AiReina vibes (refreshing that it's not AyaKanon) but there's still enough lines strewn about it to the other girls that they still get camera time.

The PV itself, like many pointed out has the blue saturation of Shouganai.

I'm definitely super in love with Aa Susukino. It might easily become my favorite S/mileage song. Chikyuu has its own strong points and under any other release I would've called it a strong A-side but it just pales in comparison to Susukino.

DUUUU LAMEEE?!?!
DUUUU LAMEEE?!?!

.........

They don't even say the "you".
Forget that "love me" becomes "lamee", but there's no "you".
Oh, H!P.

[esm]

I just imagine that the "do" and "you" blend in together.

[BerryzCelebration]

Well, English isn't their first language so you can't blame them.

I always knew it was "Do you love me?" because "Do love me?" doesn't sound right, even if that is what it sounds like they are saying.

[otaku_blue]

I like the interpretation that the "Do you love me?" is actually Dawa talking to Duu.

"Duu, love me.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

^ lol it makes it easier to bear

And yeah, when Kanon's closeup is shown, you can kinda see her mouth a slight "you" after the "do", but it's slight.

[esm]

"Do love me" works too, actually. Like, "please do love me".

Anyway, J-Pop English has never been perfect, and I think the girls were instructed how to pronounce those words, so it's not necessarily a reflection of their English skills (or lack thereof).

DUUUU LAMEEE?!?!

Lol at first I thought you were calling Duu lame for some reason!
