Yeah it could've used a little more Meimi but in general the song is nice but kind of forgettable to me.

Kanon, Kana – NakaG's Idol 36bō (27 Nov 2013)

As usual, with Tower Records president Ikuo Minewaki…

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.

So... A stereotypical H!P low-budget PV?
Lol.


I agree with most people thought, Ii yatsu>>> Ee Ka?
Most of all I feel like Dawa has been showing a lot of growth. She might not be the most technically talented or even have the most inherently pleasing tone of voice but I feel like she emoted (is that even a word???) really well. Especially for an idol. And damn does she look good lately. Now that Mano's gone she's quickly becoming one of the hottest in H!P (currently).

Up there with Airi, Maimi and Sayu.

emoted (is that even a word???)

Yes.

I would like ee ka a lot if it weren't for the really bland and disjointed chorus. it just really sucks. I love the chants and verses though. the chorus doesn't have much if an impact on me.

ii yatsu is nice but yeah I agree on more meimi and less dawa. the pv is nice but kinda bland, makes me think that Kanon's new hair isn't as nice as it looks in blog pictures though...

From the official channel: the stand-alone MVs…

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

I feel the same.

I can't get over how much I like these two songs together as a set. @_@ They both sound so good and I adore how different they are and I love how we get to hear everyone's voice clearly at least once and they all sound fantastic. S/mileage has definitely made its way up to my 2nd favourite H!P group.

...

Man H!P songs were so fantastic this year. It's gotten me listening to all of the groups instead of mostly MM with sprinkles of the others from time to time.

I guess I'm the only one geeking out about ee ka!? cuz it's is amazing

I like ii yatsu a lot too, no hate there, I'm just completely in love with ee ka!?

[321BreakinOut]

Nah I love ee ka a LOT as well , but as for right now Ii yatsu is in my head all day
