Full PV~



Yossie cameo, nice! Her voice has gotten a lot better since Milky Way - she actually sounds quite nice in a lower range and this song is fun. Kind of makes me think of maho shojo anime.

I'm so glad that Sayaka actually has a solo song (even though it doesn't really mean she's going to debut any time soon). I thought it seemed unfair that Kikka got to make a solo debut and Sayaka didn't, but this makes up for it a bit.



For the PV itself, I really like it. I love Yossie's appearance and the many sports she's trying to teach Sayaka in. (My favorite part is when Sayaka is trying to flip Yossie, but Yossie stands there like a statue, grinning. XD) Sayaka's casual look definitely goes well with her deep voice. Her idol outfit is adorable, but doesn't exactly go with her voice.



So, is the idol outfit an ode to her days as part of Milky Way? (I first thought it had something to do with the character she was seiyuu for, but Sorano Aoi is just a manager for a soccer team. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /happy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='^_^' />")

Hm. After finally watching the PV and hearing her debut song, I'm not sure what it is, but I love everything about this: her look, her voice, and her Yossi <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /heart.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':heart:' /> PV. Not sure what the song is talking about, but I'm guessing the usual believe in yourself stuff given the PV's collection of sport fails with an eventual success at the end. Ah, seeing all this win with Sayaka and Kikka makes me realize how absolutely amazing Milky Way would've been if Koharu hadn't been allowed within a mile of it. ):

Eh....I'm not feeling the love for this. She's certainly improved over her Milky Way days, but her voice still sounds pretty strained in general. The song itself is catchy, but I find her voice difficult to listen to. I really kind of wanted to just stop watching the PV halfway through. I also really dislike the way they purposefully made the lighting/backdrop edges/camera equipment part of the set. It doesn't fit at all with the sports theme and just makes it look like they're doing staged sports photos. Why not have those parts out in a field, or even in front of a field backdrop (that we couldn't see the edges of)?



I can't see her at all as on the same plane as Kikka right now, but I could see her improving a lot. On the lower notes in the beginning she does sound a lot better. It would be cool if they gave her low songs to sing, like Yamaguchi Momoe in the past. But that's unlikely to happen in UFAverse.

The single debuted at 47, but I don't know how well it did on the following days.

The choruses are kind painful but I think the verses sound somewhat pleasant o: Like you said, I think they just need to figure out what kinds of songs to give her, not that that will ever happen :( If you don't have a high voice, you're kind of screwed in UFA/H!P.
