[11/12] Berryz Kobo 36th single - Romance wo Katatte / Towa no Uta (61k first day sales)

Damn it, that radio rip got me. ;-;
Towa no Uta is mad better than Romance wo Katatte.
(and, it is quite a good song. )

"Say 'yay'... YAAAAYYYY!" <-awesome part of the song.

I really like Towa no Uta, it is definately the better A side (But I still like Romance wo Katatte alot.). It has that "Berryz" feel to it and that's what I love about it. For me, this is the perfect graduation single for them.

Omg I just realized that Towa no Uta... is the type of song that works with Berryz. xD (Berryz has always been the one that works with that rock-y feel, like Maji Bomber, Icchome Rock, etc.)
Well, more like that Buono feel to it. (I feel like this has that Buono feel to it.)

Wow, Towa no Uta is cool! And, I liked Romance wo Katatte also

Both of the songs definitely are graduation-esque songs imo.
I have no idea what the lyrics mean for Towa no Uta, but the sound of the song itself gave me a "we're graduating" "it's graduation" vibe. Like, the music sounds like something i'd hear in some anime/j-drama when people are celebrating the end of the school year or something along the lines in a really happy, cool way.
Romance wo Kattate definitely has that winter/Christmas feel to it. While I noticed that most winter/Christmas songs in Japanese tend to be sad/sappy, this one sounded quite cheery and cute, and I really find the chorus and the prechorus/bridge (is that what it's called?) part of the song catchy and nice. The verses are alright, it just sounded kinda off for me for some reason, but it's still ok. The song really sounds goodbye-ish, most likely will get you emotional, but not in a completely sad way.

Tbh, i'm not really the biggest BK fan, and I've only really liked mostly their old songs after entering the H!P fandom a year and a half ago, but I think this single is the one that I didn't really have to grow into the songs to actually like. I liked these songs from the first listen. While I don't think I completely LOVE these songs or anything, nor can I say that I will have them on replay every now and then, I can say that I already have Romance wo Katatte on replay, and I might do the same now for Towa no Uta.

Considering a lot of you BK fans found this single as a "flop", I'm hoping for their hiatus that that wouldn't be the case.

I don't think this single will flop. Their last single sold 47k, and now that it has been confirmed that it's their graduation single, wotas will try to go all out on sales.

Towa no Uta does sort of sound like a buono song that never quite made it to being released.

I still believe that Berryz Kobo will have some sort of album next year.. I'm not sure, but I get that feeling, or at least I hope for one! Still, I was almost sure we'd get one more single next year, I'm surprised they're stopping with this single despite not going into hiatus until, I think, April 2015? Still, the final concert will be emotional. I agree with what others have said, I'm glad Berryz Kobo is ending on a high note with their previous single and then this one. Basically, Berryz is showing its fans they're still just as amazing and wonderful as they always have been and always will be! <3 Let's all hope that maybe they'll return one day even more amazing than we know them now.

We can hope, right?
