[Sohee]

JIJI PRESS <3

the chorus choreography is kinda lacklustre
something I'd expect from Berryz in terms of dancing with the dj scratching and arm over the shoulder thing for a cool dance song??? the maidigi shows the dance better, but when I was watching the jijipress video the choreo fell short to their past singles for me.

I hope they release the MV soon cos this is gonna need heaps of time to grow on me.

[Sohee]

Considering it's their last single with this lineup, I find the chorus choreo really fitting. United and all together and all that. It's cute. <3

[Celedam]

Maybe they're keeping it simple because the new 12th Gen members will be expected to participate in it soon.

[Chibs]

usually it takes a few months for new members to be active, you could be right though if they want 12th gen to have some time with sayu as leader before she graduates.

[JonCC]

It was said 12th gen won't join formally until 2015 after a period of training.
So I don't think that's it.

------------------------
Having listened to the song now, I'm pretty ambivalent towards it.
Not bad, but nothing mindblowing.

And no solo lines in Mikaeri Bijin?

[otaku_blue]

Tsunku's illness influence?

I mean like even the song structure is really typical of recent HP songs. Then the chorus dance has that move from the beginning of Kimi Sae Ireba?
So Im not sure about this one.

I mean when Sakura joined the single before was Wakuteka Take a Chance, which was pretty hard, unless its suggestive that we're getting more than one member, but I doubt that the dance is indicative of 12th gen.

[Sohee]

Or they just wanted unity because it's the last single with this lineup.

[Mixi]

I thought it was for unity and to make learning easier for 12th gen. I can't see the laziness.

[Jessi]

Okay so the part I disliked the most about the song (the tikibun part) has an awesome dance...

While the part I love the most about the song (the chorus) has a lackluster dance...

So I guess I'm breaking even?

Actually seeing the song with the dance makes me like the song even more! It's definitely more of a grower. I still love the instrumental too since I'm a big fan of the EDM style.
