^ i watched the S/mileage audition and still have a hard time getting into them.. i think it's just the dynamics of the group. either you like them or you don't really. i really really really tried to like this S/mileage, and at one point i got really close.. but never crossed over into "yeah, i like this S/mileage!" territory. it's more like "i don't mind this S/mileage" or "not as bad as i thought it would be" which is definitely not the same lol.
the Green Fields song sounds really nice recorded!! i was afraid i wouldn't like it cuz as much as i love Captain her voice can be odd, but this song seems to suit her. suits Aika's voice too, which is really rare for me to think.
as for Miyazaki, she's more awkward that i realized from the S/mileage audition but i like that she was so amusing to Captain and Aika lol. i think i like that as a group dynamic, actually, the seasoned senpai being surprised and entertained (and brought together, seeing as how i don't think they were particularly close before this) by the antics of the newcomer.
