Massara Blue Jeans by °Amai-Koubou / Yoku Project's most recent release is Lady Panther, but I'm not a big fan of that song. So I shall link you, but not talk about it. Now on to this dub; the volumes are a little iffy - the group parts too loud and the general volume a bit loud. I had to turn it down from the start. The loudness in group parts caused some fuzziness.

Belly (lovely as ever), Hanni (sweet voice, good job on Erika's line) and Lucy (I really like her "waratte LET'S GO") all did wonderfully on their solos in the first verse! On the Ha/Na duet at 0:34ish there is discord; one or both of them are kind of pitchy which throws off the blending of the duet. The next duet by Be/Eu is fabulous! I love how the "kaketara" sounds, the blending is awesome. But, though it's hard to tell, I think one girl is heard a little more than the other.

0:40ish is Ku/Li, and I picked out Kuri's voice right away. I don't know how to explain the way she sounds, it's very different and a little bit funky / pitchy. She dominates the duet, it's hard to hear Liz. lol, the last duet is Lu/Lu, Lucy with herself and she's swell. The "massara pin no BURUU JIINZU" (and similar lyrics) in this dub are great, but again the volume and fuzziness makes me wince.

0:51ish is Natsumi, her solo is short but she sounds splendid! Belly and Lucy both do good on their parts, but many of the high notes in the chorus are iffy. The "mechakucha" etc & "love me do" parts turned out pretty cool. Listening to the second chorus, it almost sounds like Lucy makes her voice sound different when singing as Airi and Megumi. It's not bad, but I'm not one much for vocal imitation. She sounds marvelous, so do Belly and Hanni.

The duets the second time are all pretty nice, this Ha/Na duet sounding much better. Belly's solo at 2:55 is terrific, her high notes are still a little strained, and her timing at 3:10 is really off. Overall the things that could use work are the fuzziness (whether due to volumes or something else) and pitching. The energy level is good and all these gals did a nice job.
