[2016.04.27] ANGERME - Tsugitsugi Zokuzoku / Itoshima Distance / Koi nara Tokku ni Hajimatteru

[MejraThea]

I like it! Kamikokuryou sounded good, it was nice to hear a good line from her.

[Anderei]

I like it too. If anything, Tsugi is probably my least favorite of the three.

[momoirosaya]

I really like all the songs a lot, but TsugiTsugi is still my top.
This single is so good though, I''m excited for the MV's and studio recordings. Honestly ANGERME is back above MM for me, for the first time since 2011.

[showraniy]

TsugiTsugi is a jam for sure. Can't wait to see the music videos for all these! Angerme has definitely surprised me since the name change. Hell, I don't even hear Anger Me in my head when I think of their name anymore!
 
Murota is so awesome, and I really like Akari and Rikako as well.

You have great tastes ;).

[showraniy]

Thanks! I hope to see lots of them in the future. :D

[JPope]

I like that they resisted giving "Itoshima Distance" the full Spanish treatment, despite how much the chord progression lends itself to it (although the first five sung notes are a direct rip-off of "La Isla Bonita".) Another really strong single for the best current group in all of H!P

Very first thing I thought LOL I'm into it though!

[Revangelis]

Here are the covers
 


Lim A
 


Lim B
 

Lim C
 

Reg A
 

Reg B
 

Reg C

[MejraThea]

Getting some Hadaka no Kiss vibes... but wow, I didn't realize Kamikokuryou would be that pretty.
 
 
 
Also HaroSute edit of TsugiZoku!

[DonJuan]

I see that they're keeping that style they've had since Taiki Bansei (the one similar to Lim B). It's okay I guess.
Kind of sad to see Meimi mostly in the background or at the side, but on the other hand, Moe already looks so good. She looks less awkward than Maho.
 
Also, same goes for the MV preview. Of course there's still some new-ness to Moe but she's not deer-in-headlights-awkward.

[Elpis]

TsugiZoku is a very fun song. The MV is typical H!P with dance and close up in a room. The camera angle with the flashing lights at times made things jarring. Moe seems to be fitting into the group fairly well and Maho is getting better as well.

[JPope]

I like all of the covers, except for Reg B, as the girls look awkward and uncomfortable in that photo. The others are great, though. I especially like Reg C, although it would be even better with the photos from Lim C.

Agree. And she wasn't late or not at ease with her dance (unlike Maho).


Meimi hair's length suits her perfectly. I prefered when Take had a lighter hair color, she rocked it.

The song is fun and cool and I really like the dance. I'll wait Monday to voice my opinion about the MV.



I like A editions the best but none of them are bad.

I agree.

[TicTacAnyone]

I feel like they're having Wada be Moe's tutor, almost... Or at least having Wada be her example. She's always next to Wada, talking with Wada, etc. I know she has no gen-mates, but it seems they almost skipped 3rd and 2nd gen and are having leader do most of the work lol. Which is fine, just interesting.
 
Personally, I prefer Moe's solo talking line in the live ver. vs the MV. The lyrics are sooo nice, though. Tough sounding and the way they flow is rugged... But it's about telling your ex to continue on and make others happy--all while growing up, yourself.

[Anderei]

Wade probably likes her and it's easy to send the two gens of only one person to do interviews and shoots and stuff. She was spending a lot of time with Maho too when 3rd gen joined.

Fuck, this video would be so hot if they had processed the close-up shots to match the dance shots, because the dance shots are so good. They fit the song perfectly, but the close-ups are so basic and break up the flow of the video. Such a wasted opportunity.

[Anderei]

Part of Itoshima's MV is at the end:

Enjoy the outfits lol

[DonJuan]

...Harlekins?!


I kind of like it haha.

[MejraThea]

I don't think I like it.

[Anderei]

I think it might be art and you just don't get it Thea.

[yuzuriha]

The worst.

[DonJuan]

These hats are a national treasure.

Art.

[TicTacAnyone]

POOR AIAI.
 
Some of the smaller hats/crowns aren't THAT bad. But the MV looks boring as shit.... Like they thought "we've got these big ass hats, that'll be the entertainment for the video."

[DonJuan]

I guess the lightshow in Tsugitsugi was mindblowing enough for them.

[JPope]

Is there something in the lyrics that these clown/jester outfits allude to? Lord knows they could have been made to look cuter.
