Happiness ~Koufuku Kangei!~ by Ice Cream Koubou (LuckyChansuProject) / Review by Hikki / GUESS WHO?! Anyway, I have not dropped off the face of the earth. These last few days have been BUSY BUSY. Schoolwork, dubbing lines, and GLEEEEE! But I'm back and committed to writing more reviews. Anyway, it's another one of those days where my computer and internet just seem to be out to make my life a living poop-sack. *eyetwitch* Anyway! Hopefully I can get through this video without my internet cutting off, and without my firefox freezing up.

Personally, I have not heard anything by Lucky Chansu Project, and honestly I didn't know they existed till now. And so that's why I'm so happy to hear what they sound like! Let's get this review heezy fosheezy starteeeed!

Solos in order of hearance:
Nao-chi / Eunmi (cover)
Kate (cover) / Kate

(Ah, I've been reading Aya's past entries, and although I'm guilty of writing 'solos in order of hearance', I really hope their voices are easy to distinguish, because I'm not familiar with ANY of their voices.)

So the song starts off with the chorus, and blending wise it sounds pretty good. I just think the group lines need to be de-amped because I hear a lot of static. First solo is by Nao, and she sounds so cute. She has good pitching and great energy! Then is Eunmi-chan. She sounds adorable as well, but energy-wise, she falls a bit short, however it's still pretty darn good.

At 0:36 is Kate-chan's turn, and she seems to have good pitching too, but she has some sort of monotonous tone going on. I think if she relaxed a bit more, she would sound great! After her is....her again! But she sounds a lot different this time. And even her mic is different. Okay, I'm going with my gut feeling and saying it's a different singer. But if that's true then the order of solos is incorrect.....unless they meant order of solos starting from the first verse....? Okay well, whoever did Momoko's solo and Saki's later solo has a really beautiful voice. I really liked how she elongated the lyrics without it sounding overdone or stretched out.

The duet lines at 1:04 was done really well. Timing wise, it was good, and the pairs blended very well together! Truthfully, I half-expected the mixing to be iffy, but besides the volumes, the mixing was done quite well. Actually, the more you listen, the less obvious the volume is.

I won't individually talk about all the solos, because I really have a big tendency to that, and if I did, this review would be really long. These girls all have wonderful voices, but they seem to be shy and lacking in energy at some parts, so with just a boost of confidence, I'm sure they'll sound fantastic.

A small timing or pronunciation problem at 2:23, but nothing that terrible. Just make sure when you receive lines like that, ask for a redo, so it won't throw off the mixing! Advice aside, I love the voice at 3:30! There seems to be a tinge of attitude at the end, which makes me think: "DAYUUM, BABY BERRYZ GOT ATTITUDE." So yeah, props to whoever sang that line to ghetto-fy baby Berryz. Okay, so it wasn't that gangsta, but seriously, in my head, it is.

Overall, this was a really cute release by Lucky Chansu Project! And they really surprised me! I'll definitely listen out for more of their singles and watch their growth! Everyone let's support this new and growing group

Solos in order of hearance:
Eunmi-chan / Lunar-chan / Nao-chi

Sakura Chirari by S-exy (LuckyChansuProject) / I really like this dub, but 'Solos in order of hearance' is not good for me. I get too confused. *like, 30 minutes later* kjfenswfjke! I talked to Kappa a little bit, but before and after that I was studying the CClyrics on projecthello, trying to match up who was singing when and I finally got annoyed and gave up.

I've listened to them all enough that I can tell their voices apart fairly well, but not always enough to know for sure who's singing when. And also, some of the duets in this song are sung as solos, and that screws with my head when I try to figure out things by solo. Anyways!! Going from the first three solos and whatever else I can pick out - Eunmi has the first solo at 0:15, and oh boy, do I really like it!! She has a mega lovely voice and sings very well. I like her the most as Maimi, I think she suits her.

Lunar follows & ejkfnewf fkjewfne!! She has such a cute / pretty / adorable voice! Gah, she makes a fabulous Airi and delivers all of her solos wonderfully! See; 0:43 is usually a duet, but Nao has it as a solo - she sings the most passively out of the trio, I'd like to hear her with more umph! She's sweet but sometimes kind of soft, though she does have some spots when she sounds real cute.

There are some duets here and there, though I haven't looked / listened enough to see if there is a system to when they occur. These girls blend well together, on the duets and also on the "Sakura Chirari" parts. Someone commented on the volume level of the group parts, and I have to agree. The result of all three girls combined, with not enough changing of the volume levels, causes a sort of a 'weird buzzy sound' - but it's not terrible, just kind of...there.

The energy level is pretty good, maybe a bit more would be cool. Everyone sang with pretty good emotion too. Even if I do get confused, I do really like this. I listened to it a few times last night before I was too tired and had to go to sleep (hence, why I am writing about it today instead, lol). I think this is worth a listen!




Wada Ayaka - Moka [animeobsessed40]
Maeda Yuuka - Yuna [lovesora27]
Fukuda Kanon - Yume [leafsoul4Gone]
Ogawa Saki - Utau [o0sweetsunshine0o]

Suki-Chan by iCHiGOheaRt (Tsubaki Project) / CClyrics / Such a cute song! Getting right into things, 0:20 is Yuna, and she starts the dub off wonderfully! Utau follows; she's too soft and passive sounding, more umph! and her "narabete" is sung a little slow (and off keyish), making her timing towards the end of her solo offish. 0:26 is Yume, who sounds good, quite cute. And at 0:29 is Moka, even though she's a tad quiet, her line is adorable!

The next line-set in the first verse, as well as the pre-chorus are both sort of the same as the first line-set; not bad, but nothing really caught my attention (0:32 to 0:54). Utau and Moka could use some more umph! in their parts overall. And the emotion / energy (from them and others as well) sort of seems to go up and down, it's not constant throughout the dub. They both had some more-energetic lines and then the ones that were less so.

The chorus is adorable!! My favorite part of the song, hands down; the energy is up, the girls sound really cute when they sing together, and I like them all on the melody here. I really like the little repeated words and "Yey"s - they're kawaii! Some spots weren't sang on beat and so the timing is a tiny bit funky here and there, but it's only minor. The chanted "Suki-chan"s are pretty snazzy, I think they turned out fairly well. A cute dub, this is~
