[4/1] ℃-ute 27th single : The Middle Management ~Josei Chuukan Kanrishoku~ / GamushaLIFE / Tsugi no Kado wo Magare

[JonCC]

Every MV is out.

Here's what I'm buying when (or rather if with all these different people working on all these songs) it hits iTunes.

The Middle Management ~Josei Chuukan Kanshiroku~ YES
Gamusha LIFE NO
Tsugi no Kado wo Magare NO

I personally would like SHOCK EYE to not produce any more H!P material in the future.
Gamusha LIFE to me sounds like it could have come from any of the seemingly endless generic idol groups doing the rounds these days.

I really like this. It's a good, fun 10th anniversary song. I can definitely see ℃-ute lasting a while longer.

I really like it. I really appreciate all the little things that Shock Eye considered in direction for this.
Love the song its going to so nice at concerts and the girls look so good. Its just really nice and polished.

Didn't really like the long outro, can't believe the song is 5 minutes long @_@

[Shoujo Q]

Just wanna say Tsugi no Kado wo Magare is officially my new favourite ℃-ute song.
if you didn't tell me it was ℃-ute's song i would think it was Round Table Feat Nino... ℃-ute future is bright indeed.

Edit: i just checked the credits for the song and guess what? Suzuki "Daichi" Hideyuki helped arrange the song while Takui composed it!!!
i hope he stays for good because this is good music right here.

If you watched Music+ you would already know this info. You should check it out if you haven't already.

They reuploaded the GamushaLIFE MV for some reason...

Yet they didn't do it with middle management when there is a freaking typo in the lyrics. xD

Gamusha LIFE is not good to watch in public. I kept on trying not to cry. ;a;

[Moh]

Bless this song tbh.

Maachan is everywhere these days

Back to the topic, I like this song a lot more now than originally.
I guess I kinda understand why some people say "dont be quick to judge simply on concert/radio rips/previews", since your opinion can change when a whole PV+song is out. But, of course, there might also be the whole "grower" factor being applied, where the more I hear it, the better I understand the song, both lyrics-wise and sound-wise, thus increasing its appeal and impact. Wonderful single!
