Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai is all I can think of when I hear that one line in this song and it kills me. At least wait a few singles before you rehash a melody!

I can't stand the Morimusu version of Password is 0, but I quite like the MM only version. It has a nice vibe to it, but my complaint is that it feels a little too repetitive with the vocal melodies. I know its supposed to be this way in each of the verses just with different words and I usually don't have a problem with it, but its just slightly boring this time that the verses all sound so similar.

Yeah, and I didn't really like Kimi no Kawari. Hopefully the other song is better.

[JPope]

"Password" might be the weakest of the EDMusume singles. (I mean, this is considered a double A-side, yes?) Anyway, it just sounds like the first one to be sort of phoned-in to me.

Yes, although the listing seems to indicate the other will be the main a-side. Which is weird, given that Password is 0 will probably get more airtime than any MM single has in years.

[Trinu]

And not a single (official) b-side? :/
I suppose Tsunku is taking it slow, given his condition... :(

[Shoujo Q]

This is like What is Love?, that song was released first but it got last billing on the single. In UFs mind, if your going to perform it live in public and TV, it needs to be called an ASide. Bsides only showed up in concerts and that was it.

[Elpis]

It feels like Egao no Kimi just came out. But it was over a month ago. The gap between releases doesn't seems as big this time.

[Shoujo Q]

Concert rip of Toki wo Koe

 
That opening! So very platinum era.
 
We finally got a slow song guys. It's been so long. T____T
 
I love it. This makes up for the rehashing in Password is 0 for sure. Thank you for bringing back the pianos and the violins!

[Vikitty]

yay harmoniesssssssss. whoever is doing the vocalizing at the end is amazing. Apparently it's Riho and holy crap she actually sounds halfway decent for once.

[star]

I'm in love! I just hope those outfits they were wearing were just crappy concert outfits though.

[Kalle]

oh my gosh it sounds so good. INSTA-PREORDER. ♥

[pandapanda]

Chillllls. I feel The Chills.  
harmony, harmony wonderfulness ah and I can sing along with the lower harmony and it's perfect.
 
I love how it has the Platinum violins but they sound electric because EDM.
 
Not adoring the outfits though.  

[arcobaleno]

I'm really liking this! The harmonies are great, and they pulled the slowness off without it sounded dragged out or boring.
 
Can't wait to hear the studio version~ and Riho sounded great.

[pandapanda]

If you're going to push Riho as an ace, this is the type of song you need for her.  

[arcobaleno]

That's because this song is in a lower key, which compliments her naturally lower voice~
 
I've been waiting for a song like this, because we all alreadly know Riho is fantastic on songs that are lower, like her solo in the Stacy's play.

[MejraThea]

I love it. That vocal near the end with Riho and Sakura is just 

[Anderei]

I don't think a slower song is what they should have done. They're not so popular they can just do whatever they want and they only impress people because of their dancing.

[Derby]

This sounds really good. Outfits are ugly.
That Riho-Sakura line was awesome :_)

[Anderei]

More photos of the outfits. I like Kimi Sae's outfits now.



 
They must have spent all their budget on the Password stuff.

[star]

For the love of god, please burn those outfits now!

[momoirosaya]

The shoes are too casual for the more formal looking dresses.
 
I'm really liking how to song sounds though, the instrumental is really interesting sounding and I love the piano.

[Shoujo Q]

Those are concert shoes (and probably concert version of the outfit). I doubt their single outfits will use them. They tend to break out the expensive and tailored stuff for the album and MV shoots. 

[Derby]

^ I hope so, because I'm really hating these outfits

[bxstos]

I'm absolutely LOVING the song and its Platinum Era-meets-EDM style along with the harmonies, and everyone sounds amazing, especially Riho/Oda.
 
But, I'm disappointed in the outfits. I don't know what type of fabric that is but it looks weird on all of them. 
 
 
 

[Anderei]

You can see a bit of the performance of Toki Sora here. They should have just stood still for this song.

I can already tell that both regulars are travesties.

I pike those covers. Not my favorite but I like them.

I am also starting to like these outfits a little. I think I would like them more if they didn't look so cheap.

[smtmissin]

Actually from the beginning I didn't think the outfits are that bad. I thought they look like blue faeries. But my aesthetic point of view shouldn't be relied upon so....Maybe in one way or two the outfits look ragged and cheap.
Ayumi and her red hair remind me so much of Rose in Titanic. They are both so beautiful.

[momoirosaya]

Yeah I've always thought the dresses were pretty too, glad they have different shoes though.
