[12/19] Berryz Kobo 30th single : WANT!

[Rm88]

A lot of those songs had anime tie ins which is why I mentioned that in the second part of my post.

And plus, what would they've followed cha cha sing with? Another Thai cover? Or another 17K first weeker like superhero girls?

Maji Bomber (AKA my favorite H!P release ever) and Shining Power also were Inazuma endings. So the double a-side thing was probably a bigger factor (we also know Kitahara Sayaka's Inazuma tie in was rather flop-ish). And it's pretty evident crazy Berryz singles tend to sell better (Jingisukan, Monkey Dance, Otakebi, cha cha SING). Be Genki is not crazy, and it had zero momentum since it took place ages after Yoga Flame which itself was their lowest selling single in 6 years.

Someone explain to me "Aa yoga flame" please lol and "Help Dangerous Ass" while you're at it

[resop2]

Aa yoga flame == Aa, Yo ga Akeru by Berryz Kobo
Help Dangerous Ass == Help Dangerous Earth by EcoMoni

[Starra]

The title is just Help!! . But the lyrics sound like HELP HELP DANGEROUS ASS.

My dissection of WANT!, by now I've listened to it a ton and I think this is my final opinion:

Intro: This is amazing. Seriously, the instrumental is superb.
Chorus: It's okay. Not very strong and a bit repetitive, but the song is just starting.
I I I WANT IT: Ugh. I'll remove this with Audacity.
Verses: No, not very good. This is way too repetitive and not catchy at all. It's slow and unremarkable.
Chorus: Yeah, well. It's not awful I guess.
I I I WANT IT: No.
Verses: Here we go again. Gosh, repetitive is not enough to describe it. Momo and Yurina goodness, though
Chorus:
Instrumental break: Yes. Yes, this is good.
Chorus: Just end already, honestly.
Ending: The I WANT IT parts ruining the instrumental. Will also remove with Aduacity.

6/10 - Would be an okay b-side.

What I'd do to improve it? The verses are abysmal, they need to be shorter and more memorable. The chorus needs to go somewhere, it's very plain and it has no "high point", the first time I listened to the song I thought they were the verses actually. For the kind of song it is it's rather slow, I made it a bit faster and it automatically sounded much better. It also should end right after the instrumental break. And no cheesy I I I WANT IT parts, yeah. I just feel this song is deliberately tame and K-Pop-ish and it just failed to resonate with me. Again - it feels incredibly watered down compared to Help Me, Wakuteka and One Two Three which are also recent "cool" H!P songs.

^My niece would not like your edited version becoz she loves the "I I I WANT IT" parts LOL

[Jessi]

I still don't care what you all say.

I love this song!

Let me restate that.

I value all of your opinions, but I still disagree with most of the criticism.

[Rm88]

That's fine considering my opinion (or anyone's) is not supposed to prevent anyone from liking Different strokes and all.

My niece is only 1 year 5 months and she sings along at the "I I I WANT IT" parts LOL

She also likes Jingisukan, Chou Happy Song and Cha Cha Sing.
