I really like the song, but the editing on that video is... a lot. I'll be glad when a dance practice video comes out.

DOOM PA has reached over 120K views and continues to climb I have rewatched myself quite a few times. I like a song with a strong fireworks theme haha (the moment I realized that doom pa was an onomatopoeia for fireworks launching and exploding I was pretty sold). But also because there's something very polished about Riho in the video. She carries the same confidence she had when she was an ace in Morning, she pulls so much focus and has so much charisma.

Also, two more of Sayashi's songs are available:


MERGE which is very dance/hiphop influenced like the others.

and


Melancholic Blvd. which is still a dance number, but more low key than the others.

I personally really like this EP's direction (though I really liked her first stuff too) It sounds fresh to me. It's got elements of western music, k-pop, and Riho's jpop idol roots. STUPID might be my other favourite (I love the way the English/Japanese lyrics flow) along with DOOM PA.

A familiar name makes an appearance in the booklet for UNISON.

I wonder if it made a difference if Sayashi released her "EP" under the singles chart instead of the album charts. Ogata Risa release her 1st "EP" under the singles chart and sold more.

I listened to the EP last night and she's 3 for 3 so far with the quality. She's really coming into her own as a solo artist imo.
