Erina Mano - Sekai wa Summer Party

[aisasami]

After releasing her other single a week or so ago, there is a radio preview for her summer single on Youtubeland. Manopiano fans, rejoice?



After previewing the song, it sounds like a old Onyanko Club song and it's very boring. I can see the PV being really a very fun PV with some cute scenes but I just can't come to like it, maybe it's not my style. Although, the instrumentation is amazing like always and like the piano part, thanks KAN.

I love the instrumental. Good use of the eggs there. I don't think it's very boring, not at all. I'm sure I'll like it because Mano Erina's smile makes me forget I don't like her. She's evil, I just know she is! Damn her and her powers!

Kind of reminds me of Buono's "Cafe Buono." I wonder what HPE will be in the vid.

This is the closest I've ever come to liking a ManoEri song, only she's still singing it <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> However, this can be fixed. There's like. Nothing really all that original about it, but it's an unoriginal song I enjoy!

PV is here!



Actually I like the PV, it's got backup dancers, no stupid costumes and scene changes! Congratulations H!P you have made a normal PV!



The song is really cute and the single has an event tie-in (what doesn't nowadays) so it'll be interesting to see how she fares.

Okay, I actually really liked that. xD Seems like her voice has gotten somewhat better too. Are those the S/mileage girls in the back?



I nearly died of cute when she was playing with the parakeet.

I must be the only person on the planet that finds her singularly unattractive. It is that smooshed mouth thing - makes her smile seem fake. Or maybe it is just my resentment towards the way they are shoving her in my face saying, "here is the next great soloist."



That being said, the PV is really cute. I like the set and the simple dancing. I also really like how unpretentious it is (no over the top strain to be cool or cute or sexy). The song is okay - it is a good light summer song to clean the house to, or something. I think she is better suited to ballads though. She's too "lady-like" to carry off energetic pop songs.

[Tallgeese]

interesting that all of s/mileage is in the background. they should put them together on a small concert tour.

Piano parts are great, the eggs are cute bg dancers, Mano's acting in the video is much more "naturally cute" than in the past. Really liked it, until she started singing. She sounds so bored and emotionless! But she was totally cute and likeable in the video... Can H!P just have her pull a Milli Vanilli?



This is defintely better than her last venture, so if you can overlook her voice, this is pretty good.

[madlandyman]

they keep on ripping off old English pop songs for the poor lass, this one is definitely 'Reach' by S Club 7

[sshchung]

Her previous songs remind me of Japanese old country boring songs, this one is a little bit up tempo but still boring. First thing that caught my eye from the PV was Maeda Yuuka <3. I feel like maybe next PV they will only use 2 eggs as back dancers, then none to reduce resources....call me a Mano hater <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />.
