OTOKO NO KO

. . . OTOKO NO KO can be tricky to say LOL I sit here slowly sounding it out in my head, inhale, exhale, and trip over my tongue when I try and say it fast. My mind kept wanting to say something else. But after a few tries I got it right. It makes me think of Risa's "otoko no ko demo" solo in Mikan. OTOKO NO KO is PA-FE Kyuuto's third album~

Cast: Awai / Ami / Zarah
Malice / Sachiko / Michi

Ryuusei Boy by PA-FE Kyuuto / I don't know if I've ever watched the beginning to this PV before (*o*) It's so cool, I LOVE that Yurina is the last one in *fangirlsmadly* Props to this project for including it. The dance to this song has always made me giggle, lol. Anyways, it's been a while since I listened to a dub of this by anyone, so here we go;

This makes me smile hardcore. Michi has an awesome first solo at 0:39 - I love it!! Not super long, but definitely super good. There is a tiny bit of strain on the first few higher notes, but she managed them well and I really like her "boku shidai." The next solo (0:46) is Zarah, her whole "Shouri wa chikai" is awesome! Her 'ri' is pretty and I adore the small vibrato on her ending 'i'

Sometimes I am such a dork. On the smaller group parts, the ".... Ryuusei BOOI" lines, you often hear Aw/Am/Mi in them, though the rest of the girls each partake in at least three of them. I bet it can be tricky sometimes when your dividing up lines and you've got X amount of dubbers and X amount of lines or whatever, and then duets and solos and trios to spilt between. But yeah, all of the those parts in this dub are magnificent!

Frick!! Ami's 0:57 solo wowed me, she has such a sweet voice! And I adore her light vibrato on her "mo" - she sounds fantastic! 1:04 is Awai, sounding crazy adorable!! Her solos are like, the equivalent of a chocolate cupcake to my ears. Sweet and something I immensely enjoy. I like her "Sou darou." The melody of the pre-chorus is catchy, and throughout the dub, it's all duets! Aw/Ma have the two lines starting at 1:18, and ohmygosh, they blend epically! I adore how they sound together!

Sachiko's 1:32 solo is a little on the quiet side, and could have maybe used a little more umph! but she sounds delightful. Malice at 1:50, ohhh lovely. I like her mature voice, though I'd like to hear her on a bigger solo, the ones in this song are kind of small. More wonderful duets; 2:05 is Am/Ma and following is Aw/Mi. Aw, Sachiko at 2:26, but she has the exact same line - she's another girl I'd like to hear on a different song, but!! "...this is Sachiko's last dub with us, so everyone please wish her luck in the rest of her dubbing career!! We will miss you"

Wow, Michi's "CHANSU" at 2:33 is so powerful, so BAM! I like her energy! And then we the little instrumental break where we get to watch the Berryz girls be all shooting-star like in the vid, lol. 3:10 is Awai! Gah, I adore her singing and the umph she sings with! She always puts a lot of pep and emotion into her lines, which makes her fun to listen to. She has one of the two longest solos in the song, and she pwned it! Following is Zarah ~ I really like her "BOOI" it's great and has this cute edge to it.

Inbetween the last set of "Ryuusei BOOI"s is Ami's "Tsuyoku nareru kara" (3:28), which is very lovely; I like her other solos more though. And freaking WAO, Malice ends the dub spectacularly! Her "CHANSU ga kuruze" solo is made of win!! So energetic and UWAH. I definitely had fun listening to this dub ~ totally worth a listen.

*note* I've been making a lot of typos lately LOL, so if you ever notice something, just let me know. It's much appreciated!
