I just had to put this up here !

Airi Suzuki: Lilacsilk28
Maimi Yajima: ChiiAyu
Erika Umeda:RebirthOfRosa
Chisato Okai:MiyakochanX3
Kanna Arihara: Diabolicbread
Mai Hagiwara:HanniLoreee
Saki Nakajima: Airisuzuki24



I'm not exactly sure what CSS stands for, but I think it's something to do with the day-to-day cast that changes for each new group-dub put out on Chiiayu's channel. It's a cool idea, and I'm glad she sent me this one to listen to.

[*] Holy cow, Karen totally reminds me of Maimi! And Lilacsilk28 fits Airi really well. Both of them are great picks for the two leading ladies of C-ute. Strong, clear vocals and well delivered solos. I completely adore this song, I was all jamming in my seat to the opening music, lol. Karen sounds totally amazing as always, and Lilac has a super cute voice.

[*] That's Rosa (RebirthOfRosa) at 0:53, followed by Diabolicbread. Now these parts of the songs aren't very much, solo wise. But that's just how it goes, nee? Even though you don't hear them oodles and oodles, the lines you do hear are flipping awesome. Rosa has a sweet voice, and Diabolic has a pretty and mature-ish voice. Both of which I love.

[*] I am now a huge projecthello.com fan. Their color coded lyrics makes things SO easy when figuring out who is singing when (if the lines are spilt up by girl). And so, I am pleased to say that I know the first two duet lines (0:57) are by HanniLoreee and Airisuzuki24.

And in the next set of lines followed by duets (2:13) the whole thing switches between who gets the solo lines and who gets the duets. Hanni and Airisuzuki24 blend very well together on their duets, as do Rosa and Diabolic. I can't decide which set I like better, because they both sound great!

[*] While listening, I forget that it's a dub (o wo) That's how epic this is. EPIC. Karen's voice seriously confuses my head, cause I keep thinking it's really Maimi, lol. The same goes for Lilac. But it's a compliment; they're not voice-clones, just really really good singers who happen to suit their parts.

[*] Did MiyakochanX3 have backing vocals on her solo at 1:04? Same at 2:24. Cause I swear I hear someone doing a harmony thing with higher notes, and for me, it almost overpowers Mika's voice. *listens to a few times* Yes she did have some kind of backing vocals, but I don't know who it is, or if it's part of the instrumental? But yeah, it distracts me from Mika's voice, which if I listen real hard, sounds quite lovely to me.

[*] I'm sad to say that I think the My DAARIN at 1:13 could have been stronger. It's not necessarily weak, but it would have used more PAWAA! The next one was better! It kind of varied throughout the song. But in turn, the I LOVE YOU's were spot on. Totally awesome.

Maybe it's because the first part is sung higher while the second is in lower notes, and eaiser to accomplish? I know that I get a little softer sometimes when singing high, and low-middle notes are easy for me, so I can put more strength into them without thinking about it.

[*] Anyways, the chorus sounds fabulous! Karen and Lilac rocked their solos, and I really like how the group sounds together, the blending is wonderful. This is a very well put together group! OH, and the info thing says that this is the first C-ute song to be done? Nice choice! As for duets, I also liked the Karen/Lilac Aa's at the end of the chorus~

[*] 2:13 is Hanni's solo, followed by Airisuzuki24, who completely wowed me. I freaking love her super clear and cute voice. LOL, I'm so lame. I just downloaded this song just so I could hear how Mai sounds on her solo. (*adds it to playlist*)

Not that I'm all about comparing dubbers to the H!P girls; no no no. But Mai does deliver her line strongly (especially on that yo), and when I listen to Hanni, I think (even though she sounds really sweet) that she could have maybe sung a little bit stronger? Or maybe I'm just hearing the differences between their voices and nothing more. (If you read this, don't take it extremely to heart! Just my musings)

[*] Not exactly dub related, but I have always loved the guitar solo at 3:07. It blows my mind, and makes this song way better, in my opinion. But yeah! I really liked the very solo solos (LOL) at 3:22, where you can really hear the girls cause of the lack of full-on background music. 3:29, omg. Karen has a unique mature voice, but she can still really hit those high notes. Beautiful.

[*] All around EPIC-NESS ! Definitely 5 stars ~
