[10/2] Berryz Kobo 33rd Single - Motto Zutto Isshoni Itakatta / ROCK Erotic

[Rm88]

Overall this is lazy and forgettable. A shame because I really, really loved Golden Chinatown and I thought it was a return to form. And yes, I'm not counting on "ROCK Erotic" to be any good anything-wise

Tsunku really wants me to go full-S/mileage mode.

[wotakubrandon]

But what are those outfits about?

"Rm88, come to the shortest skirts side!" - Darth Wota

These kind of look like the things from their own wardrobe maybe. Hopefully it's just a test and they try and make the outfits more cohesive for the actual release. Remember when fan reaction was bad toward Say Yeah Motto Miracle Night, so they changed it? lol I wonder what the wota are saying.

When they have the other groups dress in normal clothing, at least there is always one recurring color or accessory that signifies that this is a group together. Like how JuJu have the black/white going throughout, despite having different outfits. Or how C-ute was in all pastels for Aitaix3, and that they all had something black within their outfit on the Queen of Jpop covers. The only unifying factor I can see is that the dresses are long and flowing, save for Captain and Momo. And how on earth did they manage to make Miya look frumpy? She looks good in everything but the outfit that they put her in here.

It's just, right now anyway, an unrefined effort all around. The dance is weird and needs some work and the outfits don't match. I do love the song though. It's like Nanchuu's mature older sister imo. Please please please let this shape up in time for release~

[Rm88]

It's an eyesore

And the song would be one of my favorite b-sides ever. But it really can't carry this single for me. Also, Maasa is really giving me late Hikki vibes

[Denki]

Listened to it again, and it pretty much sounds like an OP/ED from some 80s/early 90s anime or drama.

It's an okay song in general, but lives won't work this time.

[wotakubrandon]

It really is just EXTREMELY okay. Truthfully I think that bad performance is clouding my judgement though.

[UreChiissa]

I actually really liked the song, I don't find it that bad.
The stylist needs to be fired sure but other than that, with a good PV and alternative outfits, I feel like this could turn out to be a positive single for Berryz.

[danzarely]

Meh, I like Maasa's voice.

But that shouldn't really surprise anyone .

I've long accepted the fact that we are the sole members of Maasa Nation.

But what a glorious nation it is.

[danzarely]

And for the record I actually love Maasa's dress.

Just whoever said "..this needs a crocheted sweater on top!" needs to be shot in the face with camel spunk and sent to a tower to be forgotten.
