[DonJuan]

Man, it's been some time since we had a non-grad single from the generational groups. Looking forward to this.

[JPope]

This is great, of course, but why is Anju jumping the queue in front of Beyo?

[DonJuan]

To be fair they're doing a stage play in November. As much as this sucks but I think this kind of seals the deal of Biyo not getting another single this year. Hoping for an early 2024 single so they can get at least two next year.

[JPope]

Sounds like 1st gen Angerme.

[Solarblade]

Yeah, this is giving me Otome no Gyakushuu and Kisoku Tadashiku Utsukushiku and I'm 100% for it, can't wait for the MV XD

[AquaChan]

MV is out!

[DonJuan]

What is it with the music shift during songs in the latest H!P songs? I'm pretty pissed by now because if it wasn't for that weird chorus it could be a great song.

[JPope]

I dig this. I remember lamenting Hashi-Rin's entire existence in Anju not that long ago, but she's come a long way since then. Her solo line leading into the 2nd chorus was a "wow" moment for me, even if it is tuned all to hell. (Every H!P line is tuned all to hell now, sadly.) Anyway, it's wild how Anju is such a well-oiled machine that they can lose Takeuchi, add two n00bs and still not miss a beat.

[Shoujo Q]

I hope Life is Beautiful has a fun MV. The covers give off that vibe. But I’ve been burned before so I shouldn’t take too much stock in it just yet.

[JPope]

Hana Goto is like a puppy that's constantly surprised by new things in this Red Line MV reaction video. She's basically the anti-Wakana in the way she's not reserved at all, lol. It's super adorbs.

[Shoujo Q]

Hana moves her head around like she’s in the middle of the Brady Bunch opening.

I like the Life Is Beautiful covers a lot more than the Red Line covers.

[JPope]

Life is Beautiful! preview.

[DonJuan]

Completely different from the MV I had in mind (thanks to the latest trends in H!P i connect outdoor MVs to ballads), but still very fun.

[JPope]

This feels like an OCHA song to me. It's fun, but not all that memorable.

[Shoujo Q]

I listened to a smidge. But I'll wait for the music video. It makes or breaks a song for me. At least in terms of H!P.

[Solarblade]

Didn't take long for that to come out, but here's the PV for "Life is Beautiful!"

[JPope]

This is like a less memorable welfare version of Aisubeki Beki Human Life.

[DonJuan]

Lmao, exactly my thoughts, Jpope!

The MV is a lot of fun though. And of course, the Anju newbies are already perfectly integrated.
