[2015.10.28] °C-ute - Arigatou～Mugen no Yell～ / Arashi wo Okosunda Exciting Fight！

[Meikochi]

°C-ute 28th single's release date has been announced. It will be a double A-side.
 
The single itself has been announced last day of H!P summer concert. Both songs will be the official cheer songs for the Japan Wrestling Federation.
 
So they'll likely only get 2 singles this year.. Well, at least they're getting a 2nd one and I was waiting for it ! Hoping both songs will be better than Kimi no Kawari (which I like but find a bit too repetitive).
 

[Elpis]

I'm glad a new single has finally been announced. It's been too long.

Here is a preview of both songs.
Arigatou~starting at 6:23
Arashi starting at 9:03

[WonderBuono]

I already love Exciting Fight!

[Elpis]

Exciting fight is definitely my favorite out of the two of them. But both songs are strong.

[Farrah]

These clips make me so happy Chisato has replaced Maimi as Airi's counterpart LOL her voice has done nothing but get gradually worse over the years.
 
I think I like Exciting Fight more, but largely because I don't really enjoy songs like Arigatou when they have unison parts, it just takes me out of the song's mood.  I'm eager to hear fuller previews.

Radio rip of Arigatou~ 
I really don't like Maimi's voice in this, it sounds more like shouting than singing, and that's just no-no...

[JPope]

Pretty conventional song and recording. 

[Shoujo Q]

Not feeling this single. I'm hoping for stellar music videos considering the long break between singles. They've been pretty good the last few times as far as that's concerned so I hope it keeps up.

[Meikochi]

Arigatou isn't a bad song at all but it's not stellar either.. Maybe it just needs to grow on me. At least, if the oufits they were wearing was Arigatou's ones, everyone look nice (and Airi great but I'm biased).

[Elpis]

Here's the full version of Exciting Fight.

[JPope]

Pretty conventional idol pop-rock, but it's well done. I like it.

[smtmissin]

Maimi got worse at singing. Now even Mai and Nacky are easier on the ears than she is. I'm not Airi's fan but she's magical. I'm glad C-ute has her. I don't dig Arigatou, but Arashi sounds good.

[Meikochi]

I like Arashi better than Arigatou but I'm not keen on it. I like both dances though. Maybe the MV will make me like both songs a lot.

[MejraThea]

Covers are up.

[Noa]

Those are all incredibly boring.

[WonderBuono]

The outfits are just so... white...

[JPope]

Jesus, it's amateur night at the H!P graphic design studio. Those are inexcusably poor.

[Elpis]

I kind of wish there was some bad photo shopped cover, because it'd at least look sort of interesting among the blandness.

[Revangelis]

Okay... I am quite disappointed with those covers, there is simply nothing special (at least not to me) °C-ute has had some good covers in the past, so I guess that's why the disappointment hits harder...

[Meikochi]

All that white make just this covers bland.. Quite disappointing but at least no really bad cover (I'm not fan of the Limited A one though).

[yuzuriha]

It makes me sad I just can't get excited about C-ute anymore.

[Elpis]

The Hello! Station edit of the MV actually wasn't that terrible for once. I'll still reserve my judgement once they release the full one.

[Revangelis]

The full PV of Arigatou is out

[Elpis]

I'm not that impressed with it. They did do something a bit different by having all those wrestlers and other people in it, but different isn't always good. The song is also pretty boring, (especially compared to the ANGERME songs).

[momoirosaya]

I don't why everyone is shitting on this song, I think it's great!


I don't care for all the athletes in the PV, but I really like the shots with the sky.

[Shoujo Q]

Full PV for Arashi wo Okosunda Exciting Fight！ aired on M-ON. But it'll be up tomorrow Youtube as well. 
 
I'll just exchange the links tomorrow. xD

[Mariko]

Arashi isn't horrible as a song, but what an incredibly underwhelming MV. C-ute normally gets shorted on the MV front, but this is bad even for them...
Arigatou had me hating it about 10 seconds in. Yet another C-ute ballad that doesn't stand out in any way whatsoever, huzzah!
And the covers are so generic, blech... My hopes are often not very high for C-ute because they almost always get the short end of the H!P stick, but they've been doing so much better lately that this is like five steps backwards.

[MejraThea]

I haven't even brought myself to listen to these.

[Elpis]

Exciting Fight is way better than Arigatou but its still underwhelming. Exciting Fight sounded way better in the concert rip. The MV was overall fairly similar to Arigatou's with the wrestlers. There weren't really any outdoor shots. The cool part was at the end when they each had those flames in their hands of their member color. 
 
Overall this single disappointed me. We had to wait several months for it, and pretty much nothing on it is good. It also doesn't help that Angerme's songs are just so much more exciting to listen to.
