This is the official graduation single for two members. Reirae (1st gen) has graduated from Twilight Legend but will remain a member of Totally Up! Project. Mari (3rd gen) has graduated from Twilight Legend but remains a Soloist.

Ikimasshoi by Twilight Legend, third track in their 13th single, Shouganai Yume Oobito / I believe this is my first time hearing this song, and I don't like it very much. The beginning was nice; I liked the opening solo by Hinaki. The energy/umph overall was kind of spilt; some really had it, some had it, and some didn't.

And on group parts the lack-of by some was noticable as a whole. Not that everyone didn't sound good, but singing with emotion/energy makes it twice as much enjoyable to listen to. You'd rather hear "OH! YEAH!! OH! YEAH!! ikimasshoi!" than "Oh. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. ikimasshoi!"

Ugh, I feel like I'm being all negative. Part of it may stem from a dislike of the song, idk. It's not only energy; don't hesitate to just sing out, confidence is key as well. I totally give everyone who participated mega props for the effort! Even though I'm nitpicking, this is a swell dub. The "souda/nanda! DON'T STOP"s parts turned out well, and as for blending, I like how this group sounds together.

Wishing on a Star by Star!U / Ohh very pretty~ Some minor off notes, but the lovely singing by these ladies charms your ears so much it doesn't matter. I adore the group parts, and all of the solos were very well done. I'll confuse myself if I try to break it down, so I won't. But I really did enjoy this. Worth a listen. Welcome to all the new Star!U members.
