BTW

Wow, how long has it been since I've done a non-solo BTW? And how long has it been since I've actually sort of planned on it happening GASP on the weekend? I need to get around to solos- Okie share her 1000 Words dub with me (it's beautiful ;w;) and then I saw some others I wanted to check out but I resisted.

I am keeping it quite basic this time and only going back as far as my subslist will let me go. I'll keep chugging along, catching up with different projects one at a time. But for this, I'm just sticking to what's on the YT created list, lol. Cause I'm too tired to make my own list.



Kimi (KimiOkami)
Risa (omgspazattack)
Michi (michiyomichi123)
Miri (xXLuvleeMerodiiXx)
Juri (Juwibean)
Jang (jangbong13)

Seishun Collection by Hanabi (SmilePassionGroup) / Oh. This song. *fakes enthusiasm* Nothing against any of the fabulous projects who sing it; no no no. I'm just not over the moon about it. I've barely listened to this singing group before (OMG RISA and JURI! I recognize some people!) and I'd like to remedy that; now!

Oops, the dub is half over and I was frowning upon MM's ugly outfits. SO THE DUB! There aren't a lot of solos to go by, but that's cause this song is all about blending, and how everyone sounds as a group. I must say, the blending in this dub is very ear-pleasing! You can hear the difference from one group of girls to the next (like in the beginning verse), and both of them are magnificent!

Holycow, I love the solos. I just listened to the second set of them (2:36) and was stunned by how cute + pretty Miri, Juri and Jang all sounded. I love'em!! But backtracking to the first set (1:01) Kimi, Risa, and Michi are all enchanting! Going back to the group parts, 3:49 is sensational!! I love that you can really hear how the girls sound together as a whole, because of the quieter backing music. It's beautiful~

(omg major lol once I read the drop-down section "OMG I HATE THIS SONG. I guess I shouldn't be saying that since this is our project debut, but jsdhgkjsngkletn. I don't know why I chose this as our debut song, but at least I've got it over with.")



Aishiteru Aishiteru by Ali (ILA1080) of YoruProject / D'AW, Ali is so so so super sweet! ! ! I've heard her sing before, but I don't think she's ever sounded quite so adorable! She's utterly darling! I am new to this song- I really like Ali on the chorus' melody! She's terrific on the verse as well, but is very cute+sweet on the "Aishiteru"s and etc parts. This is Ali's graduation dub, as she is leaving Yoru Project. She picked a good song, her cute voice really suits the sweet main melody. I'll always think of this solo dub now when I think of her. And then I'll think AA DAARIN!



Moka, Raii
Ayomi, Nykki

Kokuhaku no Funsui Hiroba by Meigetsu (Tsubaki Project) / I have a weakness for this song. I always sort of lol when I load a dub and it's a song I love, and I see someone in the comments go "I hate this song, but..." ~ For me (Berryz wise at least), Very Beauty is one of those songs. But anyways, getting off subject.

I think these girls did a really nice job on this. It's sort of an odd song, in that the melodies are pretty but not something you hear every day. It can be easy to hit an off note while singing the tunes, and having a good amount of energy in your lines can be tricky.

I personally love to sing out the chorus' and aren't as good on the other parts of the song, but I love to listen to people besides me sing the whole thing even more (lol)! This dub is really pretty and each of the girls did a really nice job on their solos. The chorus is lovely, and I love the duets too!! Overall; splendid~



Martha, Kiro, Jaydie
Yuusaku, Sachiko, Moni

Meguru Koi no Kisetsu by Jupiter (Cosmos Project) / My brain is failing me at the moment, cause I need sleep. But this is awesome! A lot of fun, energy and cuteness packed in by this fantastic cast of lovely gals. I really like the different PV that Martha gave a go! The solos are kickbutt, but the duets and group parts are my favorite!! Give some Jupiter some love y'all, and give'em a listen!!

Seeds of Love YAY!

Nakazawa Yuko: LilRae [TalentlessLoser]
Ishiguro Aya: Yumi [SugoiYumiChan]
Iida Kaori: Merodi [AiMerodi]
Abe Natsumi: Louie [TawanaiGachou]
Fukuda Asuka: Momo [xsclsm]

Ai no Tane by Midnight Musume (Yoru Project) / The harmonies sound off to me in the beginning. The first chorus is only Natsumi, Kaori and Aya, and the only time you can really hear the harmonies in the original is on the "ai no tane wo makichirashitai" line. But in this dub, it's as if the trio (Lo/Me/Yu) has the first line at 0:12, and then the remaining singers (Lil & Momo) join in one at a time on the next two lines (0:19 & 0:22). I'm not sure why it's like this...?

And then at 0:26 it sounds like the trio again on the first line, before someone(s) come in with a higher hamorny part? However they did it, it's not perfect but everyone sounds pretty swell. Even though the harmony that's sung sounds out of place with the melody on the ending "i" because there isn't much of a volume difference, I still like the way it sounds.

After listening through the first verse (where the majority of the songs' solos are), I picked out my favorite line from each person and I'm going to go through them. 0:46 is LilRae- wow, she's spot on! Her notes are so pretty; I adore her whole solo, the ending "ta" is especially nice. Though, I think her mic makes her sound somewhat...muffled, for lack of a better word. 1:00 is Merodi, she has such a lovely clear sound and sings splendidly! Her "yo" is beautiful. I love this song for it's low notes.

With Louie it's too hard to decide between his 1:10 and 1:24 solos, they're both so good! In a way he really suits Natsumi's part. His "koe" in the first solo is gorgeous, and I also like the ending "wa" in the second solo. He delivers both of them wonderfully! 1:37 is Momo, who's a bit pitchy but still sounds sweet. Her solo isn't very long, and I find myself somewhat liking her odd "ki ni" ~ 1:40 is Yumi, her ending "te" came out manly-ish (lol) and a tiny bit off key, but it made me smile. Her "omoide wo" is real lovely.

2:07 is more chorus. Gah, I pulled up a YT vid of the original song+PV to check on the harmonies and then ended up listening to the song a few times through. I've always been a fan of Momusu's debut single, since I think Ai no Tane and Morning Coffee are so pretty. Yes yes, lots of harmonies, but great melodies. I'm always happy to see a group taking on either song, so even if there are some minor things, I'm enjoying this dub.

The solos from 2:35 to 3:00 are marvelous- Louie & Merodi sound terrific, and Yumi's ending "you" is a bit funky but the rest of her solo is swell. Momo's solo here ties with her previously mentioned one; she's barely pitchy and sounds great! Overall, even though the chorus' are a little messy this isn't bad for a debut, not in the least! I'm new to this project as well, and found no info on their profile. I'll have to look into it~
