Sakura nailed all her lines, be ready for the future girl y'all!! I actually like this update a lot better than RR21, but RR21 wasn't that hard to beat.

I like it. I really do like it. I like the simplicity of it. But ... it still feels lacking? Like, where's the climax of the song? And what was up with the weird musical interlude? I felt Riho went flat in the last line....

Where's my Kago? ;__;

Much better than the mess that was RR21.

I think it's amazing. It's a very sweet, different version and Mizuki and Sakura (especially Sakura) were perfect. I love it.

Well...they turned it into a ballad of sorts...it's weird. I have to decide if it's a good weird or a bad weird. I'm so used to the old song that it's almost like my brain rejects the idea of this update.

Pro's - Everyone sounds great
Con's - Riho is not included in the above statement. FLAT FLAT FLAT.

I do kinda wish they have put Sayu in the song. She was not a member when it was originally done so having her in the update wouldn't have been a bad thing.

Agreed about Sayu; I keep waiting for her voice to pop up since it really does fit the song.

They removed the funk but I still like it. I just hate that it sounds like Eripon, Zukki, and Haruna have no solo lines whatsoever. Like murrponchan said, the song has no climax. There's no shining moment for anyone. I think the final line should have went to Sakura rather than Riho as well.

[sundaetea]

Yeah Haruna has no lines basically, she does have some of the "aaah"s I think. But it's a shame she has no more lines, I really want to hear something solid from her other than ahhs and uuuhms.

Kanon does the kudaranakute, and Eripon does the Meeru in the following line. But yeah, Haruna doesn't have any real lines.
