[HSJ] Precious Girl / Are Your There?
I'm late, yes I know. To be fair, I was late in listening to the new single as well... OTL
Hey! Say! JUMP released their new single on July 5th, 2017. It is a double A side with 3 versions and 6 songs total excluding karaoke versions.
Precious Girl
Are You There? (A.Y.T)
灼熱の夢
Smile in Summer
Sweet Liar (Hey! Say! 7)
スタートデイズ (Hey! Say! BEST)
Precious Girl is seriously catchy. I am absolutely in love with it! The PV is also amazing - the boys look so awesome! I love seeing them in sunglasses XD
The various helpers/supporters were okay, but I could've done without them.
Are You There? is the theme song for the currently airing drama Koshoku Robot. It's sung by a subunit consisting of Arioka, Yaotome, and Takaki (and therefore A.Y.T!). The song itself is cute, though I don't like it as much as some other songs in the single. The PV was interesting. I'm not sure the slice of life scenes really fit in, but considering the drama is pretty slice of life, I guess it's okay?
The dance for the song employs robot dance moves. Maybe it's because I've seen better but I felt A.Y.T didn't quite hit those moves...
I absolutely absolutely love 7's song Sweet Liar! I have no idea why but it's just so awesome *-*
Same with 灼熱の夢. It’s just such a nice song to listen to~
And once again, BEST's song starts with a ス/S :)
Gosh it's actually seriously cute haha. I wonder if BEST has a song that breaks this pattern? Like an unreleased/unofficial song? Hm…
Next up is the best of album! Only a week left! I'll be late for that as well lol. I'll be on vacation for most of August ;)
Also next week is Hey! Say! JUMP's appearance on VS Arashi as a group! I'm so excited! I've only seen individual members on the show for dramas and such.
