Manakan's first solo track and video -- "Attouteki LØVE" -- just dropped on YT. It's very pink.

Wow, they really went full out with the effects. The MV is on the level or even better than some of the main groups' MVs.
The song fits Manakan really well imo. I like it. Sounds somewhat retro even?

You know how we often refer to some H!P songs as sounding "very H!P"? This song sounds very M-line. I could see literally any M-line soloist from Risamaru to Airi singing this one.

PV for "Pink Temperature" is live.



This has a turn-of-the-century Jpop vibe to it. Give it a hard eurobeat rhythm and it could've been a Hinoi Team single.

Oof, this reminds me of the songs from the samplers I used to buy as a teenager and skip. It's a real nothing song to me. But at least Manakan has charisma, or otherwise this wouldn't work at all.
