Maji Bomber by Yamabuki (HanaProIndies) / OMG I LOVE THIS SONG. I am a huge fan of Berryz and loved this song from the moment I heard the preview for it. So of course I am excited to hear dubs of it coming out, most certainly the one by this group! So let's get right into it!! I adore all of the "Natsu jan"s & "wow wow"s and "wow yeah"s a ton! They are part of what makes this song so fun and this group of gals sound totally awesome & rockin' singing'em out!

Kappa kicks things of fabulously with great energy! Uwah! 0:25 is Kanna, wowza; I adore her voice and delivery, I like her "egakou" and "URU" a lot. Kiri at 0:31ish -omgilyraebee- she worked hard on this, singing and mixing wise, and asked me a few times if I'd listened to it or if I liked it, and now I can fully express my thoughts!! The full turn out of this dub is top-notch, outstanding and vibrant. I love Aoi's 0:35 solo!! Her growlish "Atsuku" is fierce & epic, and her fun vibratio on the ending "re" is so cool/cute/funky.

The beginning two lines of both verses, including the echoes, are catchy, fun and terrific! Like the "Asobi mo hyaku" & "Manabi mo hyaku" starting at 0:45. I am guessing they are sung by Ki/Kap, with the rest of the girls on the echoes, since that's what the PV makes it seem like. But I have no CClyrics, thus I'm not positive about anything. So I'll just say the group parts rock!! I'm digging the blending and how everyone sounds together, but that's no surprise when it's a cast like this. Raburabu.

0:50ish is Suiren, her solo isn't very long but it's super! I like how she sounds on "seiippai" a lot. I love her singing to pieces. Lol, just listening to this song makes me want to sing it. So good. Anyways!! 0:53 is Asagao, and she only sings for maybe a second, but it's a second packed with sweetness that punches your cute-button making you go D'AW. She's endearing. Another part in this song that I adore is all of the...okay, is it 'BONBAA' or 'BOMBAA' cause I've seen it in lyrics both ways. Whichever it is, I love'em in this!

Botan at 0:56ish! Gaaah, feels like it's been a while since I heard her, idk if it really has been. She makes such a great Maasa, I love her mature unique lovely lowerish voice oodles; makes my ears very happy. The little "soro soro" is awesome and the following group line is pure win! Well, all of them are really. "Jinsei choisu no renzoku" leads into the first chorus wonderfully!! 1:06 is Kanna, frick does she pwns her line again. Such energy!! And I love her little bit of attitude on "yatsu"

1:11 is Kappa! I like her "Iroiro" and "datsu" a lot. I'll admit that I like her more on other songs, but she's still as marvelous as ever. I've always admired her strength, the confindence that she sings with, her power and energy. LOL sorry, random thought. That cheer that goes, 'We've got spirit, yes we do. We've got spirit how 'bout you?' just jumped into my mind as I was thinking; Kappa's got heart. She does though! Anyways, I'm going from rambling to fangirling, so I'd better move on.

1:16- Aoi sure does pluck at my heartstrings and puts a smile on my face. She's got such an amazing, addicting, adorable, unique, fun and awesome vocals. Kiri at 1:21, I love her whole solo, but her ending "Tachiagare" is spectacular. More duets and echoes at 1:30, this time I believe it's Ao/Kan, with the rest of the cast on the echoes. In the previous verse Saki & Chi had the solos following the beginning duets, the only difference between verses is the order in which they sing. I'm glad that you get to hear the girls on at least two different melodies.

Suiren had the first solo and this time around Asagao has it (1:36), I like her "homerare" a lot, she sounds pretty. Suiren's following solo is spot on and peppy, her "deru" is my fave part of it. If most of y'all hadn't already guessed it, one of the reasons I dig this song so much is because Yurina actually has the same amount of solos as Risako! *shock* I get happy flutters everytime her face shows up on screen, so it can't be helped that I sort of love up on whoever is Yurina. But even when I'm only listening without visual, Kanna's singing (1:41) rocks my world!

Uwah, I love the "Aozora no kanata HOPPU STEPPU JANPU" group line at 1:46 ~ Yamabuki faitingu!! The chorus at 1:51 is the same as the beginning one, except that it's just mixed up as to which solo the four girls have. Kanna's "Miageru sora aoi umi" is deliciously killer. Kappa's "URU" is fierce! I adore Aoi's "Maji BONBAA" and Kiri's "Atsuku nare" is clear, kickbutt and beautiful in a rockin' sort of way. It sucks hardcore that Maasa (therefore Botan) only gets one solo, with my recent adoration of her it kind of makes me sad. ILY BOTAN! And keep in mind that the lovely Suiren & Asagao both contribute to all the group parts!!

I really like Aoi's "PEACE" at 2:46ish, followed by Kiri's "tachiagare" ~ BUT OMG the last chorus is probably the best!! Cause it's everyone all together!! Or er well, groups of them together. I think it's Su/As/Kap/Kan, and then Ao/Bo/Ki. I am loving it!!! The blending is so so so awesome! The last "Atsuku nare" just make me melt. WIN WIN WIN! I love this. YAY YAMABUKI!
