Don't rip off your earrings like that lol.


The fishlense (?) thing was pretty weird, but overall I like it. Obvious Karin/Manaka center.

Ooh man I actually loved that. I feel like they purposefully featured Nanami and Yuka less so that it will be easy to give their parts to other girls. I’m sure they’re also the focus of Good Bye and Good Luck.

Apparently Yuka said this single is only Nanami's grad single and not hers, so we should expect another one before she leaves.

That was enjoyable. It was a typical h!p mv but at the same time it was still decent. I still really like the song.

I still prefer Vivid Midnight, but this was a decent, classic H!P pv.

I'm already in love with this song after one listen. Akari and Ruru's solos killed me. I can no longer function because they were so good. Especially Ruru's line at the end oml
 
I thought the pv was nice too! There's been better but it wasn't outright terrible, which is saying quite a bit.

Ah ha ha!
 
This is seriously fantastic, though. The song is the best thing to come out of H!P since the one-two punch of "Shuukatsu Sensation" and "Waratte", and while the video is standard fare H!P, it's done very well. I especially loved those near-silhouette solo shots during the instrumental part. Ruru continues to crush everything she gets her vocal chords around. I would love it if 2019 was for J=J what 2016 was for Angerme. I really love this group.

Just pop in to say how much I love the song, the lyrics and the plot/atmostphere of the MV. I couldn’t keep my eyes off Akari. She can pull off such a mature look in an innocent way. I also like her voice the most out of all the current J=J girls. It has been a long while since J=J release something that makes me go back to have a second look. Just when HP was starting to bore me with their mediocre release.

Two good PVs in a row? And both songs were really good as well?? What witchcraft is this?!? :eekrun:
 
I will say I really liked the visual effects in the dance shot portion, but they got to be a bit much at times. Ending the PV with one of those effects was perfect, though!
 
If Good bye & Good luck is as good as the other two songs, then this single is shaping up to be one hell of a high bar to pass later on.

I really liked the song and MV as well. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed multiple songs on a Juice=Juice single this much.

I don't LOVE the song yet, but I can subjectively recognize its quality. It's kind of like a faster-paced "Synchro." IMO, which has yet to stick with me.

Yeah it was okay. I watched like half of it and was kind of distracted, but it didn’t pull me in. I liked Bitansan a lot more.

Me too. I think the video is really pretty but the song just doesn't stick.

I like Potsurito better than Bitansan, especially the chorus that I find very pretty. (I don't pay much attention to MVs so it is only about the songs themselves.)

<div>The song didn't catch me the first time through, but today little things started to click for me. I like the chorus a lot, and especially the one coming out of the instrumental break where Kanatomo and Sayuki solo over just the piano. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And speaking of the instrumental break, hot damn is it good. I mean, really goddamned good. That open fourth (I think -- I'm happy to be correct on this) synth thing that follows the snare drum isn't technically a pedal point, but it kind of works like one here, and it's so fucking cool. Paired with the driving strings, the half-time piano stuff and wonderfully 80s lead synth, it builds a whole lot of tension for the final chorus to release. Having Kanatomo and Sayuki singing over the piano actually extends the tension into the chorus itself, making the second half of the chorus the actual release. This is pro-level arranging, guys. Sitting here breaking it down like this makes it even more impressive to me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Overall, this is a clinic in how to carry a narrative, set a mood and build tension via artful and adroit arrangement. The harmonies in the 2nd verse are subtle and a bit dark because the notes sit under the melody notes. Just a lot of very good decision-making went into this recording, right down to the abrupt ending.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As for the video, it's pretty cool. The video effects are quality and add just enough to keep the dance parts interesting. It reminds me of MMs "Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa" video in the way the effects fit with the music so well. I also like how the cafe scenes are choreographed with the non-singers frozen like mannequins.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I can't say if I like "Potsurito" more than "Bitansan" or not; they're totally different styles, and they're both great. If I had to rank them, I'd probably give the edge to "Potsurito" just for that killer instrumental part. This is almost certainly their best single, though.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And it appears I have written a full blog post, but I haven't updated my blog in months, so no one reads it anymore.  :lol:</div>

I'm the exact opposite.  :lol:  I don't hate it, but I won't be skipping anything to get to it. This is a really good single regardless, though.

Potsurito has an instrumental I would usually like--but I think the chorus isn't catchy enough so it hasn't stuck on me yet. But I do like how grand the chorus does sound. Bitansan has much more memorable lyrics for me, so that currently has #1 spot from this single.
 
I feel like Kanatomo's voice has been sounding better and better when it comes to her lines on the recordings... I can't explain exactly what, but it feels even richer than before. I'm still not 100% on Manaka being in the group. Yanagawa and Danbara were perfect additions, but Manaka just doesn't fit well in my mind... and I quite liked Manaka in Country Girls/Dance club.

The Pv for Good Luck went up! It’s super cute, and the quality of music video is much better than the standard H!P dancing in front a green screen.


This releases while I’m in Japan so hopefully I can see them perform at Ikebukuro Sunshine City.
