Actually I think it was very well done, I'm not fond of the intro, but the rest was cool, specially the Woo Love Revolution part. Now I'm inclined to believe that there's an updated dance to this as well xD
Also, don't you remember the PV? It had this futuristic vibe, so I believe EDM and autotune feels just natural for this song.
I think Rika's line is Masaki, and I had a feeling Riho would be singing Abe/ Goto's lines in the songs. I like the song but then I just like RR21 in general... remixed or not.
I don't really have any sentimental attachment to the golden era songs so I don't really care. Save for maybe Do it! Now but that's not being remixed so...
The song does sound surprisingly more current but still doesn't really hold a candle to brainstorming or wagamama.
Yes, it had the futuristic vibe, but it's a song and a PV you could smile to and the new version sounds nearly like Bad Romance by Lady Gaga (if you know what I mean xD). I guess I expected something different, although I actually kinda knew it would be like this seeing what they did to C-ute songs. But this is already too much for me.
I have to say I'm not the "I miss old MM." type at all, I'm so so so and so in love with "ima no Morning Musume", but I think another remix would have been as refreshing and beautiful as it's expected to be. But just my opinion. :_D
Great Covers and the Girls are Beautiful, but don't like RR21 that much, it looks like this release was just too fast IMO. Tsunku could do something better, but yeah his style has changed and RR21 was arranged by Dance☆Man. I think new Fans will like it nonetheless.
