Ookina ai de Motenashite by Hoshizora (KonichibaProject) / This song is so catchy, and the H!P girls look SO adorable! All of the "ooki na ai de motenashite"s in this are pretty fabulous!! Though sometimes the 'te' doesn't sound right. It's 'mo te na shite' and in the first set of the dub, the second and last line sound more like 'mo ka na shite' - But!! For some reason, this is also how C-ute sounds in the original PV, which I don't get. So I give Konichiba props for accuracy in that sense, even though the lyrics tell me it should be otherwise.
Eva makes a wonderful Airi; her sweet voice really suits her and she did a good job taking on her part. She has the first solo, and hits all of the higher notes well, though at 0:27 her "koto yo" sounds funky. She adds a little spunk to it that's not exactly bad, but noticable. Following right after is Veri, who sounds marvelous as well; her high notes aren't strained, but I can't figure out the word to describe them. Anyhow, I like the first part of her solo at 0:28.
0:34 to 0:43 is all duets, going, in order; Am/Na, Na/St, Am/Ma. They all sound really good! This dub has nice overall blending. I love love the "OH YEAH OH YEAH" at 0:45!! Then it's more Airi lines, ugh. Don't get me wrong, Eva is awesome. But this is another of C-ute's songs where only a few people actually get solos. Usually it's just Maimi and Airi, but Megumi was still around for this one, so she has solos too, though already she is being pushed back by the other two.
I really like how Eva sings very clearly, her parts always sound very crisp and clean. Veri's 0:58 line is kind of shakey; her notes aren't very strong / steady. I am loving Ayaka on Megumi's part!!! - her first solo is at 1:10. Her voice is a bit more mature, but she sounds lovely. I think it's her tone or line delivery or something that makes me like her on Megumi's parts, idk. It's been a little while since I've heard her, so I'm glad that I got to hear her in this. Her 1:34 solo is also fantastic!!
I don't really want to carry on about the same three girls, so I won't. All of their solos (Eva, Veri & Ayaka) are very well done and were most certainly pleasant to listen to. The same duet-pairings occur at 1:40 (Am/Na, Na/St, Am/Ma), and I give all of these girls props; even if they didn't get solos, they sound darling on everything they did sing. I mentioned them before, but the epic "OH YEAH OH YEAH"s in this dub rock, and they are all by those four girls. One of my fave parts overall.
I don't think there is anything about this dub that I actually dislike. I think this group of gals did a fairly fabulous job on this cute song. The blending and energy are snazzy and I like the "FU"s too. I look foward to more from them!
