IРІР‚в„ўm sure thereРІР‚в„ўs a market for this type of thing, otherwise it wouldnРІР‚в„ўt be done so often but I ainРІР‚в„ўt buying what theyРІР‚в„ўre selling here. I understand the need for groups to do songs like this but when IРІР‚в„ўm already lukewarm on everything else IРІР‚в„ўve heard on this release so far, itРІР‚в„ўs not really doing them any favors. Okay, positivesРІР‚В¦positivesРІР‚В¦oh yeah! EveryoneРІР‚в„ўs vocals sound really good on this song so thatРІР‚в„ўs something right? The song is also completely fine, in a totally inoffensive way. Seriously though, РІР‚СљHanabiРІР‚Сњ was the best name they could come up with for this song? Talk about generic, although if the shoe fitsРІР‚В¦ I just canРІР‚в„ўt get down with these airy instrumentals and gloomy vocals most of the time. Anything negative I say is coming from an incredibly biased position so I guess donРІР‚в„ўt take this part of the review that seriously. РІР‚СљHanabiРІР‚Сњ starts out sounding like a ballad, and I guess thatРІР‚в„ўs what it actually ended up being huh? I dunno man, you guys know how I feel about these kinds of songs. It just feels like Momoclo have found this comfort zone since РІР‚Сљgrowing upРІР‚Сњ and theyРІР‚в„ўre not really looking to venture too far outside of it. At this point IРІР‚в„ўm just crying out for a catchy chorus, a hook, anything really. РІР‚СљDECORATIONРІР‚Сњ isnРІР‚в„ўt bad, but itРІР‚в„ўs not really doing anything that we havenРІР‚в„ўt heard before, which is kinda harsh criticism but it is what it is. Honestly, Momoclo have done songs like this before, and for me those songs were a good bit better than this one. Again, the chorus isnРІР‚в„ўt really doing too much, which is unfortunate considering Momoclo used to be known for their infectious choruses that really got their hooks into you. TheyРІР‚в„ўre doing the whole РІР‚Сљfaux-rappingРІР‚Сњ thing over the top of it, which I guess is okay even if I think rapping idols has been done to death at this point. Up next we have РІР‚СљDECORATIONРІР‚Сњ which sports a pretty funky instrumental arrangement which is quite enjoyable to be fair. Overall, this song doesnРІР‚в„ўt really leave much of an impression on me and IРІР‚в„ўm not really in a hurry to revisit it in the future. It doesnРІР‚в„ўt really help that the song feels directionless and I guess they just forgot to write a chorus or something because I canРІР‚в„ўt find one in there anyway. The vocals have the same great flow that Momoclo vocals are known for, although that does mean they pretty much sound the same as a lot of other songs in the Momoclo discography. Anyway, the song kinda turns into this jazzy number after that, itРІР‚в„ўs fairly typical of whatРІР‚в„ўs out there in the genre currently so not too much to remark on. If you want to find out what that means, just look up old H!P PVs on Youtube or something. If that doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean anything to you then good, get out while you still can. РІР‚СљThe Golden HistoryРІР‚Сњ opens with what I can only describe as an old school sounding Hello! Project instrumental. ThereРІР‚в„ўs 4 songs on the single though, so maybe one or two will leave me feeling pleasantly surprised. I thought they were okay but they didnРІР‚в„ўt really leave much of an impression on me, which is probably why IРІР‚в„ўm coming into РІР‚СљThe Golden HistoryРІР‚Сњ not really expecting much of anything. If you want to read my thoughts on РІР‚Сљ AMARANTHUSРІР‚Сњ or РІР‚Сљ Hakkin no YoakeРІР‚Сњ just click the links and theyРІР‚в„ўll take you right there. I reviewed their album double-header back in March. After that, theyРІР‚в„ўve kinda off the boil for me but the music is still okay and plenty of other people love it so maybe it is just me. I really liked Momoclo up to and including their РІР‚Сљ5th DIMENSIONРІР‚Сњ album. That being said, thereРІР‚в„ўs a ton of people who have followed the site Twitter recently who look pretty new to me so hereРІР‚в„ўs a brief recap. IРІР‚в„ўm running this joke into the ground? You donРІР‚в„ўt say.Р”Р„ll joking aside, most of you are probably aware of my love of early Momoclo. IРІР‚в„ўm pretty sure IРІР‚в„ўm in the clear here, unless you donРІР‚в„ўt like Momoclo either in which case I guess thereРІР‚в„ўs just no pleasing some people. Momoiro Clover Z, are they variety enough for you guys? TheyРІР‚в„ўre not related to Brand-new Idol Society as far as IРІР‚в„ўm aware and I would be amazed if any of you could find a link between them and either Zenbu Kimi no Sei da or Yukueshirezutsurezure. My thoughts on the latest single from USA-bound Momoiro Clover Z.
