Also since it is part of the single, just putting the PV for "Konya wa Hearty Party" up.

[DonJuan]

Ah, too bad. Konya wa Hearty Party is already a bit of a lackluster.

[Shoujo Q]

It ain't gonna show up on my streaming list anyway as it's a cover. So I hope Hatsukoi no Borei is a banger.

[Solarblade]

So I had heard that they will be re-recording Kon'ya wa Hearty Party to include Risa in the song

[Shoujo Q]

Gas station chic!

It's pretty good, but I won't lie: If I didn't know the girls' faces I couldn't tell if this was Juice, Tsubaki, Anju or Morning.

My immediate reaction was that this is more faithful to mid-period J=J than anything they've released since Sayubee left. It's more laid back, but it definitely calls back to the era right after Ruru joined. I dig it.

[DonJuan]

On second listen it does sound a bit like Karada Dake and their whole Next U stuff.
