[2014.07.30] Juice=Juice - Kaze ni Fukarete / Black Butterfly

[Shoujo Q]

New Juice=Juice single next month. 

｢風に吹かれて｣ ｢ブラックバタフライ｣ Kaze ni Fukarete / Black Butterfly
 
Fan recording of Kaze ni Fukarete

[Kalle]

I'm kinda getting a late 80s / early 90s dance vibe from this.
Overall it's not bad, I can't wait to see the outfits for this! And a name like Black Butterfly for the second half makes me curious.

[Shoujo Q]

I wonder if they'll continue their black/red theme? Though I would prefer black with a splash of color to make it seem butterfly like.

[momoirosaya]

I feel like this should be a black and blue theme. I like the sound of Black Butterfly.

Something like this. The name makes me think of black and blue or black and purple.
I usually hate fan recordings but this one isn't bad. I really love this mature style that J=J has and I hope they continue with it.

I want a black and white theme, actually. And Kaze ni Fukarete sounds great. I wonder if this is the cuter or the cooler song out of the two. I hope it is the cuter song, because I don't want Black Butterfly to be another Are Kore shitai, which gave me false hope.

[star]

I don't think Kaze ni Fukarete is meant to be a cute song based on the fan recording. Black Butterfly doesn't sound like its intended to be cute either.

[smtmissin]

Do you think a song titled "I want to do this and that" (Are kore shitai) was intended to be a cute song? I didn't, I was tricked by the title, I was expecting something totally sexy and was disillusioned :(

[TicTacAnyone]

Sounds decent to me.... From what I can hear not too impressed with the lyrics but whatever lol. Hopefully their performance of this single is good.

[Solarblade]

So it's official that the A-sides are switched around and Kaze ni Fukarete isn't a Moritaka cover

[NekoKaiSai]

There are some parts of this song that remind me of Give me Ai, but overall I like it.  It's cool and I like the Gaelic feel of the faster part of the music.  When the music's slower/less prominent it sounds mature and dramatic, which I love.
 
Black Butterfly speculation: I don't think it'll be cute per se, but I think it'll be more up-beat/active yet still "dark" in a way.  And I'm thinking violins or maybe some Japanese stringed instrument.

I definitely heard Give Me Ai too. 

[Shoujo Q]

Here's a radio rip of Kaze ni Fukarete.

[ShiroiChanUK]

The girls vocals sound so good here and I love the instrumental :) According to some fans the outfits that were worn during the performance were pastel coloured "normal" clothes. I don't know if they're the clothes for the single but I thought I'd mention it just incase :) I agree with others in that Black Butterfly seems like the title of a song TGS would release :) I love them though so I'm happy :)

Outifts

Everyone/thing looks nice except for Karin's damn old lady hair (her skirt's also my least favorite).  Yuka's and Akari's dresses are my favorite, and I love the detailing on the right glove.

[MejraThea]

I love them..... except for Karin's skirt. And I agree about the hair, it wouldn't hurt her to style it. She needs to go under Kudo's tutelage. 

[pandapanda]

Ditch the gloves and I kinda like the outfits.
 
I would have loved the dresses to be a black version of this dress, but that would blow H!P costume budget for the year...

[JPope]

I don't mind Karin's hair at all -- I think it's quite stylish -- but that skirt is ridic. In an attempt to be "fashion forward" they've just made it appear to be poorly constructed.

[arcobaleno]

These outfit's are really good, but I agree with everyone about the disaster that is Karin's skirt.
 
I really like the little butterflies they have on the boots, too, and yay, Akari center, exciting~

[ShiroiChanUK]

That dress is freaking gorgeous Sam :)

[star]

Black Butterfly is nice and all, but there's just something about it that puts me off of it. I can't decide what it is, but maybe it'll grow on me more when we get a PV.

[ShiroiChanUK]

I like Black Butterfly so far :) I'll wait for the MV to come out so I can hear the HQ version :)

Uemuu center always for the win in my book.

Limited A, for me. The other ones are too busy or too plain.

Regular A and limited B & D are ny favorites.

[rallyleo]

Regular A… Why couldn't they just go to a real outdoor environment? Such a tacky photoshop job.
 
Limited D, too.
Horrendous. 

[star]

I didnt even notice the shitty photoshopping on their feet in Limited D.
