Kamei Eri : Mandy (Kanna) [ tokidokihaato ]
Mitsui Aika : Giselle (Nadeshiko) [ giselledesu ]

Haru Beautiful Everyday / Even in a duet, Aika gets shorted lines in favor of Eri. I don't think H!P knows how to make a song with fair lines, tsktsk. But anyways!! As Kappa said on the Hana blog, "We’re currently on the section of the concert filled with small group songs, so individual members are getting more of a chance to shine." - And shine they do! This is a wonderful duet!!

One thing that I really like about Hana concert dubs, that I don't see a lot of other groups do, are the speaking parts! I think it's so cool that they do them! It's cool to hear the girls talking, and like, 10 times out of 10 (lol) they sound incredibly adorable / awesome. Mandy did really good on Eri's small part in the beginning, she sounds super sweet throughout the dub! She sings with great emotion, which is always a plus; it makes the dub more interesting to listen to. She sounds epic on the chorus, the first time, when she has a lot of the lines. Epic!

Giselle has such pretty low notes, her emotion is more subtle but still there. She hits a lot of lovely notes and sings so smoothly, her lines flow. I really like her singing. It's a shame Aika doesn't get a longer solo. The chorus is total love! I adore the "It's so beautiful everyday" lines. These two make a fabulous duo! The blending is so lovely! And I really like how both of them sound on the chorus; it has a nice melody that they do well on. Homg, I love the ending speaking part. FOW.



Takahashi Ai : Kappa (Sayuri) [ xmikipinkux ]
Tanaka Reina : Palla (Suiren) [ nephiminechan ]

Kioku no Meiro / Omg, this song again. LOL, sorry. It's just that I have seen so many dubs of it over the last few weeks. Don't get me wrong - this is totally a cool song, a fantastic duo and a marvelous duet! Kappa starts this off well; she has strong vocals, and most definitely does not suck (MUUUU). I love that when she sings, she sings!! Like, she doesn't hold back, at least that's what I get when I listen to her. I always really feel the energy and emotion from her.

Holycrap, Palla sounds SO much like Reina. Pwsh, let's just get rid of Reina and replace her with Palla, no? Her first solo is epic!! I've always liked the line "dakishimeta yoru" in this song, and she sings it fabulously! She's got an amazing voice and delivers well with it, like, mind blowingly so. Palla's always a delight to listen to. I love the "Ah"s that these two sing at 1:35, they're so good. And a perfect lead into the chorus! Which is spectacular!!

2:35 is super awesome, Palla shines there! And Kappa's following solo is just as rockin' - and then we get both of them together again! This dub is just chock full with pwnageness. I really like how these gals sound together, they nailed their solos, and did a killer job on this song. Props, y'all, props.
