I love The Vision so much, it's probably up there with Koi wa Magnet in terms of my top 2016 H!P songs so far.

Still hate the dance team gimmick but I get it. I think what I don't like about it is that it makes them feel less like a group as a whole, or something. Like, during live performances it'd be fine if the dance team didn't sing or whatever but during the MV/the actual recording they could have at least sung during the chorus...

I think this single makes up for everything else since Wagamama (all three songs)

Omg I can't stop laughing. It's straight out of Golden Era and could easily go big in Japan if promoted well. Just the perfect brand of silly.

So it's super hard to take that "do it do it dance" part seriously because of the dance move. *^* (reminds me of Massara Blue Jeans)
Also, I didn't notice they were going "OOOOHHHHHHH.....takata"!

^Honestly, I don't think we're supposed to take any part of this song/video/dance seriously. That's what's so much fun about it. It's that trying to make you smile, mood-making feeling that Zukki always tried to bring to the table. It's the perfect tribute to her.

The last time I remember seeing the girls just enjoy themselves freely in a video was in Wagamama Ki no Mama.

Utakata feels like the sort of fun dance song Japan could get behind. Hopefully they market it right, it's damn catchy.

I don't care about Katasumi much but The Vision and Utakata more than make up for it since they're both perfect songs. Well, they're different kinds of perfect, but I love them both a lot.
