Ame no Pianist by HPD48 (Hana Project) / lyrics for reference / Whoa, this song starts right up, no 30 second wait! The chorus -song wise and dub wise- is beautiful. I love the melody and this trio of talented girls sound tremendous! The blending is crazy amazing, but I'm not surprised since the Hana girls blend like magic *starryeyed* Ajisai, Kin and Kikyo are all fantastic singers and this dub shows you just how spectacular they can sound; together and individually.

0:43 is Ajisai and her entire solo is lovely. I love her voice! Yes, she's one of the best Risa voices out there, but Momo put it well in her comment, "you sound like you" ~ and she does. Ajisai has an awesome voice that's all hers and totally gorgeous. Her "de" is really pretty, she hits the note spot on. 0:56 is Kin, and ohmygosh she sounds magnificent! I like her first line a lot ("SOFAA no hajikko"), and her ending "wo kamu" is awesome!!

Kikyo at 1:08, jknkmbkl frick! She's excellent! Her singing dazzles my ears hardcore. I love her "ii hito ga iru yo to" ~ heck, her whole solo is divine. She has such a clear and pretty sound. 1:21 is Aji/Ki; these two are outstanding together! And 1:34 is more brilliant chorus. The blending in this dub is beyond wonderful. Snazztastic. Fantabulous. And oodles of other hybrid words that I don't know or that haven't been made up yet. Hanalicious.

I love that in the second verse the order is switched around, so that the same girl isn't singing the same part. That's how the song is originally spilt up, so props go to the AKB people, but I'm glad that Hana decided to keep it this way instead of scripting it differently. 2:12 is Kikyo, I like her "saretara" a lot, as well as her ending "ta" ~ Following is Ajisai, as lovely as the first time you heard her; I like her "watashi ni satosu dake"

2:37 is Kin, waaah~ she's mega pretty on the melody. I don't think I can pick out a spot or two that I like more, since I like it all!! She hits so many beautiful notes and sounds awesome. 2:51ish is Kin/Ki ~ I really like the duets in this even though there's not many. Because it shows that not only does this cast sing splendidly and blend as a whole, but you can pair any of them together and it like UWAH blending. 2:58 is Ajisai, and though it's a shorter solo she rocks it!

The rest is all chorus. AMAZING chorus. I love this dub. The girls' singing alone is kick-ass cake topped with PWN icecream. Mix'em together & add in the music'n'stuff and you're just slathering on the epic sauce. The end result of all the work that went into this dub (and the whole HPD48 album) is utterly smashing.
