So, this isn't going to be a long entry, and I'll probably just talk about the 5 main singers, because I don't feel particularly talkative today. Kinda icky actually, I just spent 5 hours cleaning tile grout and watching 'Glee'. YAY. Okay, enough about me, let's get started!
First solo is by Lily, I haven't really heard her sing before, maybe once or twice, but she has a really nice tone to her voice. She adds a little 'umph' to her lines, but I wish she would have elongated the "itsu na nooooooo", but that's 'cause I'm a cow that likes listening to stretched out notes. Hah. Then we have Miyazu singing as Risa. And I have never heard her voice before, but she sounds really great! There's so much strength and power! I think she pulled off Risa's solo really well.
Then Stella with Eri's short solo, I've said this before about others, but I remember hearing Stella a while ago, and she has really improved too! Or maybe I was thinking about someone else? I'm not sure, but she sounds great. And then we have Valen as Sayumi, and she sounds so so cute! She really has that Sayumi tone down. (This is a compliment, just to clarify.) Oh, and Mari and Lucy's voices blend so well; their voices really match JunJun and LinLin's tone.
Then it's the chorus! Blending wise I think it sounds pretty good. But there's something in there that makes it a tad bit sloppy. I can't put my finger on it, but the chorus could be a bit tighter and sharper. But the mixing is still pretty good! I'm in no position to judge because I can't mix anything to save my life. Everyone blends really well together though. Anyway, now we have Lily's second solo, I can really hear that her added style to her lines. It's not bad or anything, it gives her solos more personality.
Then it's Eva! I've heard her voice before and I still find it incredible. I think Eva's voice is easily distinguishable with her microphone. It's not BAD, but it has that effect on her voice, that makes it stand out. Like, I could hear her quite well during some of the duet lines and even the chorus. Nonetheless, she still has a great tone, and her pitching is spot on. The timing for this solo was a bit off at one part, but that's just me picking again.
Okay, side note. PV, IF RISA HAS A SOLO. DON'T SHOW ERI'S FACE DURING HER LINES, IT CONFUSES ME. Back on topic, back on topic! Now, we have more strength from Miyazu! A voice that I definitely need to listen more too! Stella and Mari's voice blend EPICALLY in the next duet line at 2:25, just letting y'all know. Then there's more awesome solos. I'm not gonna talk more about it, because it's gonna be a repetition of what I have said above.
Whoo, another chorus with epic voice blendage. Miyazu's solo at 3:15 was amazing! I LOVED LOVED LOOOOVED that vibrato she had in there (at "futari shite"). And then more awesome singing! (Ahaa, vague). Lily's long solo was sung really well, no pitching problems I could hear. And I love the last part at 4:41 ("Sore nano ni anata ga suki"), the blending and mixing was great, and Lily's harmony was wonderful as well!
Overall, great job to everyone! I know I only focused on the 5 solo singers, but everyone else did a good job in the duet lines, and no one stood out, so you guys did awesome too! Which is something more dubbers should care about, because I know there are people who are like: "Oh, I have no solos in this, so I can just send in crap lines." which is totally not the attitude a dubber should have, but I admit, I've done this before, hee hee ^ ^;;; Anyway, a great release by Konichiba! I'll definitely look out for more of your singles!
HUGE thanks to Hikki ;w; Iloveher~ Cause I was (er, am) in a crappy mood and getting this review from her made me happy. It sucks that her internet was so mean, but super sweet of her to keep on trying so that she could review this dub!
*What put me in a crappy mood* KHRKL JM;LMY;LHKLD KLHERKLHMRTK !! Why does this happen to me? ;w; I had typed up a review on Kakyokuu Project's C/C and I decided not to put finishing touches on it tonight, since it's already pretty late. And I just put it in a wordpad, titled it when I went to save it, but I hit some key in the process too quickly, and closed it. Then I got the dreading feeling that I'd screwed something up.
So I opened it again real quick, and I freaking somehow deleted more than HALF OF IT. Now I'm pissed. And sadly, when I do something like this I lose the inspiration to go back and finish it later. Cause it bothers me that I can't remember what I wrote before. So, sorrry Kakyokuu. If I try, it'll just be lame. I'll see if one of the other girls will review it for y'all. I can tack on the paragraph that I do have to the end of it. [/rant]
I'm going to bed on this sucky note. But ILY'ALL~
