Chotto Jouchou Fuantei Natsu is pretty good. It's the right mix of fun, cute, and goofy. Trumpet midsection goes on a bit long. Best song of the four though.
Yori Dori Me Dream sounds like a 4-nin S/mileage song to me. I just don't care for all the talking. This song needs something to standout aside from just talking. Their voices all kind of sound the same to me here.
Shekenare is fine but I'm tired of the rap and spoken parts trend. It feels extremely gratuitous and forced at this point. Overall not a huge impression from this song, it feels like a minute and a half too long, and I thought they'd put more budget in the MV since it's the animu song. Oh, I just realized why the song feels too long! Pretty much all anime OP/EDs are like that; as if they write the part for TV and repeat it with slightly different lyrics to make it a whole song.
Ocha no Ma Mahoroba...is this chasing a meme? Uh, the song is alright but Kitahara Momo's part in the middle could be cut. Just cut all the talking parts out of songs already, Jesus. This song seems like shock pop from this, without it the song would hit just the right ratio of silliness to actual song. As it is it feels like I can't take it seriously. Then again the Gen Z-Alpha kids probably like this stuff, they're in that phase where anything that seems original and ~breaks the norm~ is the best thing ever.
Ocha's got 1.5/3 food singles so far for me. I guess their thing is to be goofy? I thought that was Beyooooonds's thing. Maybe they're the TickTock generation group.
