Mugen Climax outfits:

I'll be bitter if the main a-side's outfits are just something like boring white outfits again when we've got these available.

Lol, they look like something out of "'"""gothic"""" US fashion in the early 2000s. Mature and womanly, they are not.
 
I mean, really, with the innuendo in the title as is, they might as well have gone the v-u-den route and practically do burlesque.  :rofl:

I disagree. Now that I am a GROWN and MATURE woman, I enjoy sequins, sparkles and tassels more than ever before.

There's a whole lot of stuff going on with those outfits. 
 
<div>Dual pattern corsets; (velvet?) military bolero jackets with full shoulder-board epaulettes, shiny silver breast trim, and five layers of sleeve trim that extends nearly to the elbows; short rag-skirts consisting of at least four different fabrics.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's just way too much. It's a visual assault that doesn't allow the eyes to focus on anything. The color scheme is good, but everything else is a mess.</div>

Those outfits. If Michael Jackson was a drag queen. I bet he'd have worn that. They looked so much better this morning. But now that I see them on a bigger screen. wow...
 
This single better be amazing. They are up against Kinky Kids this time. Their fans better save their coins. I expect a heated battle come November.

Kinki Kids last single sold nearly 200k and the one before that broke 150k so I don't think it'll be that heated. Even if they announced this was their final single they'd probably not hit 100k even with a sales spike.

I feel like taking off the jacket would improve the outfit greatly.

And then throw it in a fire? Yes? Good, glad we're in agreement on that subject.

A very rare miss for me I think. Idk, maybe it'll grow on me but I found it seriously lacking. I hope the other songs will be much better.

<div>I don't think this song is bad -- I quite like it, actually -- but it is disappointing. Adult C-ute was so good that it just seems pointless to have them record a song in 2016 that would have suited them perfectly in 2012. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The announcement that C-ute was disbanding bummed me out because I was excited for H!P to have an adult presence again. It seems we won't even get that with their final single.</div>

Will this necessarily be their final single? They'll still have a full 6 months next year to put one out.

Last single or not, this song is pointless for C-ute after Naze Hito/Summer Wind/Jinsei wa STEP!. Give it to Tsubaki or Kobushi.

I agree that's it's not a C-ute song. They deserve much better and I hope the other two songs are much better than this one and with good MVs

I really like the song itself (the instrumental especially), but agree it would've been good for another group. Maybe MM or Kobushi... But I do like the song.

It's Mario °Cart. Heh!



Anyway here is a radio rip of Mugen Climax.
<a class="bbc_url" href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kEJDo42OH ... e=youtu.be" title="External link">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kEJDo42OH ... outu.be</a>


What if this single is to represent the scope of C-ute and their songs? 30 singles, 3 songs that showcase who they are, where they came from and what they are leaving behind. I know, it's a deep thought that may not fit The UpFront mold but the way this single is sounding, that's how I see it.
 
And while they could possibly release one more single I don't think they will. Probably do what Berryz did (I hope anyway) and release a mega best with everything and a few new songs thrown in with music videos as their "last" hurrah. Simple and clean without any left over singles flopping around without an album for a home.

Woah, this arrangement is crazy. I think I love it. I know I love the song. They could have easily made a great track with a standard idol-rock instrumental, but they went instruMENTAL instead. And LOL at Mai getting the Sayautotune treatment! I can't wait to hear this in its entirety, because this is awesome.

Holy shit, I can't stop listening to this. This might be the best thing out of H!P in years. Who who wrote and arranged this masterpiece? Using the 3rd movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata, and slicing-and-dicing it with that nasty beat?  That violin at 1:08 kills me. This is so fucking hot. Dude...
 
I could unleash a torrent of superlatives and hyperbole that I might regret later, but suffice it to say that after a solid 3 hours of listening to this damn near non-stop, I think this might be among the very best things ever released by H!P.

So, the official Hello! Project site doesn't have the credits yet, but Maimi posted on her blog of this (minus the arranger, though):
 
Mugen Climax's lyrics and composition are done by Oomori Seiko.

I know her. She did this:

I wonder if she wrote the Beethoven references into the song, or if that's on whoever arranged it? Hell, maybe she arranged it, too. She's kind of an odd bird, which I like.
