ガーディアンズ 4 - School Days

Okay. I have very strong opinions on this single. But firstly, the new single is titled "School Days". It's got a cutesy feeling to it. Upbeat. OverTheTop cute. So cute that I can't like it. I am not sure what it is about. I cannot stand it SO much that I refuse to listen to the words. The PV has a nice feel to it though. As much as I dread the song, I enjoy the video. The setting is nice. It's like they're in the school and chilling in the courtyard in stuff. Cool. Also, their cool blue uniforms are so pretty and in the dance shot they look so nice because the background compliments their uniforms' color very well. Another crazy, exciting, SURPRISING thing is that I don't hate Risako's voice in this song. It's actually bearable. (I don't think she's a bad singer. This will also be discussed in a later post). One more thing to say about this video. This video has more substance to it than RakkiHappi Omakase Guardian and looks a bit less . . . how should I say this? Looks a lot less plastic and low-budget than their first single. It's a bit critical and insulting but I actually like the cheap-look in the last video. Ha, okay. That's just me being an *A*hole. I'm kidding about it looking cheap.

Conclusion: PV is great, song is horrible. But I am sure it will grow on me once I listen to the words.

Guardians 4 & Buono!


What can I say? Buono! is friggin awesome. I love Buono! It's got the 3 best (in my opinion) members of Berryz工房 & C-ute: Natsuyaki Miyabi, Tsugunaga Momoko, Suzuki Airi. All three of their voices are unique, beautiful, and awesome in their own way. And I have not ever disliked a song by Buono!... ever. Their newest single seems like it will be very interesting. It's called "Take It Easy". Tell me how you like it! I have always loved Buono!.

Then there was Shugo Chara Egg! This post is not about them at all.



Guardians 4 was last with Mitsui Aika, Nakajima Saki, Kumai Yurina, Sugaya Risako. For the other two groups, it took me the least amount of time to like Buono! and then a bit more time to kind of like Shugo Chara Egg. Guardians 4 took me the most amount of time to even think about liking. I just began to like "Omakase♪Guardian" yesterday, actually. I heard "Summer Has Come" today. I like that song more than their first. I have no idea why it took me so long to like this group. Maybe because Risako is in it? I do not hate Risako. How I feel about Risako will be explained in a much later post.

So, what's the point of this particular post? I would like to know how long each will last. I think Buono! has the most potential to make it past Shugo Chara, no? Shugo Chara Egg would be the first to fall with Guardians 4 following close behind. Both groups are like totally Shugo Chara energy. And Buono! has great songs that aren't really for the anime. That's good logical reasoning, yes? But, some people may like Guardians 4's member lineup! SO! It is Buono! vs Guardians 4.

Which group do you think is the best? Which group would you like to last far beyond Shugo Chara's ending?
