RIRAKKUSU

◯◯ Ganbaranakutemo ee nende!! by Madoka (IroKokoroProject) / fjkawejk fkjenfjk kgnegfgk jgnrkjgn I LOVE this dub, it's so incredibly awesome. When it first came out I watched the video a lot, partially because I was interested in seeing the dance version, but also because Karu, Izumi, Beth and Rae *temp non-use of their IKP names* totally hardcore owned this song!!! I downloaded it in a heartbeat and have listened to it a gazillion times since, seriously.

I about died when I saw that Cerulean was in the cast, I so love her on Ayaka's part! Ama and Amber are too crazy cute & talented for words!! And when Rae sent this my way and I saw it was this song I OMGed, looked at the participating singers, OMGed again, then fangirled madly as my desire to listen amped up even more. Y'all had better put on your safety hats and prepare for some explosive levels of cuteness!

Ohmuffins where do I begin?! Everything about this dub is mind-blowingly wonderful! I love the fairness of S/mileage songs, they're probably the fairest of the current H!P groups. 0:27 is Amaaaaa, she's so so so sweet and pretty! Following is Ceru, who's mega kawaii and irresistible! 0:33 is Lilac, her voice is the maturest in the bunch, she's very super lovely with her own cute edge.

And last but not least is adorable sounding Amber, who can sing anything and sound brilliant! I LOVE her "YEAHx4" ~ The group parts in this are killer!! 0:39 is all the girls on the verse melody, and they're freaking oustanding! They blend together amazingly, and all of their lines together are smooth, in sync and mixed together seamlessly! The "Let's go"s are especially charming!

0:52 is Amaranth beginning the pre-chorus solos- the order they sing in is the same, thus Ceru (0:55) and Lilac (0:58) follow, all three gals sounding terrific! I really like Kanon's part in this song, and Amber (1:01) sings it so well; I utterly adore her "NAI NAI...HAPPY NIGHT" ~ And then it's chorus time!! kjefjkfwnekwj Ceru's (1:19) "dakix4 dakishimete"s in this dub are crazy adorable! The main melody is a little repetitive, but I can't help but like it. Even more so when hearing it from these spectacular, superbly skilled, sweet singers!

Skipping on to the next verse- I love how the "een ya de"s sound in Amber (1:56) and Ceru's solos (2:02)! I love Lilac at 1:59! She's so peppy and extremely cute! Ama has the the "YEAHx4"s (2:07) this time around, and she totally rocks them, as adorably as possible! Following is more smashing group lines that are pure win. 2:21 is the second set of pre-chorus solos~

I love Amber's "jumyou da shi" ohmygooosh kawaii!! 2:32 is "WOW" overload, lol. I think Tsunku could have put a few less in there, but I suppose it does work. Either way, Amaranth sings them all excellently! And her "PEACE" is fabulous! The remainder of the dub is all chorus- I especially like the "dakix4 dakishimete"s by Lilac (2:49ish) and Ceru (3:40ish). And Amber's "SUMAIRU" part at 3:54 is spectacular!

I also love the last "otousan" "okaasan" & "oniisan"s!! The way the second syllables are elongated and adorable sounding! Gaaah I can't say enough good things about this!! Definitely worth a listen!! It's only 4 minutes and 34 seconds, but it's packed with oodles of enthusiasm and CUTE CUTE CUTE ness that will dazzle and delight you until yours eyes sparkle. Magnificent! Epic! Impressive, but not surprisingly so. YAY MADOKA!
