RAKKII CHA



Takahashi Ai: Kagami [luckygirl404]
Kago Ai: Bee [puppymama]
Tsuji Nozomi: Mati [mati5fooly]
Mika: Greentea [hgythgyt]

Lucky Cha Cha Cha by Ceres (Cosmos Project) / Bah, I have reasons for this not getting reviewed sooner, but I'm finally getting around to it now, so it's all good! "Listen to all of this KAWAII up in here!" LOL, I love Martha. The chorus in the beginning, as well as throughout the song, is fabulous! The "RAKKII CHA CHA CHA"s are adorable, and I really like this group of gals on the melody. Kagami's little solo at 0:16 is sweet but she's too quiet.

0:26 is Mati, her solo doesn't flow very well and she's slightly pitchy, but she has a cute voice. Following her at 0:32 is Bee, her first line sounds a little odd, the rhythm of it (maybe it's just the song? I've never heard it) but I like her "yuujou mo aru wa" especially the ending 'wa' - I really like her voice. Bee is Cosmos' newest member! Congrats to her~

Greentea at 0:37, this song has got some funky melodies - again, I don't know how this song goes, so I don't exactly know if it's being sung correctly or not, but I think it is. Her "under the moonlight"s are interesting, but it's the melody, not her singing; the latter is nice. Starting at 0:46 are two duets; Be/Ma and Gr/Ka. I really like how Bee and Mati sound together on the first one.

The chorus is hands down the best part of this dub! It's so cutely peppy! The girls sound awesome all together, it's like cuteness x 4. The first half is fabulous! Around 1:04ish, on the "minna ga motteru" someone's timing was a little off, and so they didn't blend with everyone else, making this part sound a little jumbled. But the rest of the chorus was great! And Bee's "chiccha na yume wo" at the end is adorable!!

1:16 is Greentea, her "kanashii"s cool, and the rest of her line is swell as well. Kagami at 1:22, her volume is better this time, and she sings with pretty good emotion. 1:28 is Mati, and at first I had no idea what she was saying, then I figured it out and double checked the lyrics, lol. It's "open the window" - her whole solo is kind of mumbled, unclear. Cause after the first part, she has "koisuru tobira wo" and you don't even get the 'suru' cause she slurs it into one syllable, and her 'wo' sounds more like 'wa' - so her pronunciation / clarity could use some work.

Bee at 1:34, I don't like to play favorites, but I have to say that I like her the most. Her solos are all well delivered, she sings at a good volume and she sounds kawaii. The "shichaima~su!" in the pre-chorus at 1:43 is a little loud and there is some dischord. And then there's more chorus, yay! Again, some spots not everyone is totally together, but they sure are cute. Gah, Bee's "RAKKII" at 2:14 is incredibly adorable!

The rest of the song is all chorus. I like Mati's "kanaetai" at 2:20 and Greentea's 2:27 solo is nice. Kagami has the last solo at 2:42, and she sounded pretty good too. Overall, there are some minor things that can be nitpicked at - like singing louder / more clearly on solos - but I think these gals all deserve a 'good job' cause that's what they did.
