[12/18] S/mileage 15th Single - ee ka!? /「ii yatsu 」 (Best Selling Single)

[Celedam]

Hello! Project Station #43…



10:17~ S/mileage "Ii Yatsu" MV

[Moh]

As far as MVs go, I like Ee ka!?'s better, but I think "Ii Yatsu" is the better song.

[Obsidian]

ii yatsu is fantastic, I just really love the melody.

[jeiwa42]

...It came back to me that I compared Ee ka and Ii yatsu when I listened to the half radio rip of ee ka and the concert rip of ii yatsu and immediately said Ee ka > Ii yatsu...

But omg...Ii yatsu is sooo good.

Don't get me wrong, I still like Ee ka, but just for fun upbeat-ness. The song itself was a bit chopped that almost works completely but you get used to as you listen more.

But Ii yatsu...too good.

Really hope S/mileage sells loads with this single, they deserve to have a record breaking before the new year because they have really stepped up their game, both song wise and performance.

At this point, all 6 of them are vocally capable, and yes even the two who gets the littlest solo lines. Kana has really stepped up since she got pushed and Rina's voice is starting to show up a little more every single they release and it's nice to hear from her.

MV wise Ee ka, I thought should've been a little bit more fun, even with the dancing, but I think Ii yatsu covered the seriousness well, not awesomely, but well enough. I know it was mostly dance close up but it was simple and clean.

Anyways, H!P is definitely at a good point right now, I think maybe just BK needs to get better songs and outfits...

The set they used for Ii Yatsu dance shot was technically the same as Ee ka!? but with a patterned floor. To me, it seemed like it didn't went will this time. If the set was a bit darker, the it might have much better. The close-ups were perfect in my opinion. Needless to say, another MV where Dawa's looking great.

But man, these girls were on it at the recording studio. Even Kanana, who back in Yuugure Koi no Jikan sounded somwhat bad. I'm not going to say anything about Meimi, since she is one of the most talented singers in the group, but man my biased self just wanted to say that Take-chan has been at it in this song.

Song-wise, i like Ii Yatsu to most. MV-wise, it depends.

...what that big line was Takechan's?! Wooow. @.@ From the concert rip ages ago it definitely sounded like Meimi and- man. Good stuff.

PV wise... kinda boring. But I don't even care, I love this song and the lyrics are great and the girls sound amazing.

Ayaka owned this pv though, idk what's up with her lately but damn. <3 Also, Meimi needs to get acting jobs. She's so damn good. EVEN in just a PV like this.

Rina had power in her singing too, what. All hope is not lost yet.

[321BreakinOut]

Video was wack ass hell, but the song was stellar. Love the line distribution and i love that they are passed that awkward phase and finally looking like a unit

[Starra]

I like it more than Ee ka!?, but it's not super awesome.

Kana though .

[Sarah Palin]

Damn, it's like they didn't even try with the MVs. No theme, no concept, just a plain dance shot and generic close up. Almost feel bad for s/mileage, as it's out of their hands.

Ii yatsu is an awesome (albeit predictable Platinum Era) song though! Wish they'd give Meimi more lines though. She's one of the best singers in H!P yet they continue to give Dawa more lines. Sick of the whole 1st gen priority line distribution when Meimi sings better than both of them.
