I like the continuing trend of using the graduating member colors for singles.

Is it just the lighting or is Ako’s outfit genuinely a different pink?

I fixed the color. I'm not sure how to post an image so it could be wrong.

I like it! I still think it's a bit of a mess (like I thought for Heavy Gate), but I feel like it jumps around less and is generally a fun song to listen to. The new members did really well!

Yeah, both the song and the video are kind of all over the place. Seems like something that will be better received in a live performance. In terms of the single, hopefully it'll be balanced by the other two songs.

In your case, you have to go to the website and:

• Click on the image, so that the image menu appears.
• You'll see an option, "Open image in new tab." Select it.
• Go to the new tab. The image should be there by itself without ads or site decorations.
• Copy the link that is in the address bar, which should end with an image extension like .jpg
• Paste it in your jplop comment
• Surround it by the [img ] [/img ] tags.
• Done!

If you did that correctly, the resulting text will look like.this:

Code: Select all

(Notice how that is not the link in your original comment)

And the image will look like this:

I can't be the only one feeling like Wake Up Call is more than a little bit "inspired" by YOASOBI's IDOL, can I? (Not remotely plagerism--more like trying to capitalize on OCHA NORMA's popular dance cover from a few months ago).

I enjoy unhinged songs, so I enjoy this. Can't help but feel like it should have gone to BEYOO though.
