[2/4] ANGERME (アンジュルム) 1st single : Taiki Bansei / Otome no Gyakushu

[Zunu]

Thats the thing though.... Its SUPER REPETITIVE and everything I should hate in a song.... SO WHY IS IT STILL STUCK IN MY HEAD

Overrepetitiveness annoys me as well....but I don't think it annoys Japan. I keep thinking of how popular the extremely repetitive Koisuru Fortune Cookie was and imagining that Taiki could rival it given the right kind of promotion. Just imagining, but even a tenth of that would be a huge monster hit for a non-MM H!P group.

What's also strange is it doesn't seem as repetitive Live.

But yeah I actually love repetition when it's done right and like this, repeating something that's great.

On another note, Otome's chorus reminds me of this:

Spoiler: show

anyone else think so?

You know what? Now that you mention it, I can see the similarity. I wouldn't have thought of it on my own though.

^But only the chorus, not the rest of it. xD (It's the only thing I think of when I hear the chorus for Otome. That. My mom listens to that song a lot too.)

[UreChiissa]

Taiki Bansei is really well structured and we haven't had such a good song from S/mileage (ANGERME) in a while...
It's energetic and happy and powerful and I just love it <3

Otome no Gyakushuu (radio rip) (via @angerme_english)

[Shabranikuduu]

Otome no Gyakushuu is just so good.

Not surprising considering the style of song it is, I like the concert rip better lol. So much energy in the concert rip. I also can't help but think that this song was written with Meimi's voice in mind since it suits her voice so well.

Taiki Bansei is actually a bit too repetitive for me. It is however also insanely catchy so I think it'd do well among every day population and it gets stuck in my head even though I love Otome no Gyakushuu about ten times more.

[Shabranikuduu]

I agree that the concert rip had so much more energy to it. I think Ayacho gets the first solo line, and in the concert rip she sounds so much better. Still, nothing listening to the song repetitively won't change (imo).

[Starra]

Sounds pretty good. Will wait for the full version to comment more though.
