So yeah ummm the covers. How do I put this nicely.... Screw it.... They suck. The girls look great, but its just them photoshopped out of a background then pasted into another background of either random colours, a giant umbrella or some fireworks. Then someone plastered the covers in fire brushes and thats it. From what I have seen the solo covers of the girls for version C are really nice, the best out of the bunch.
Song
When I first heard the song, I was genuinly shocked and suprised. It was so different from anything we had heard in a very long time for an a-side. The song is Like a mix of Koi no Dance site, Odore Morning Curry, Happy summer wedding all mixed into one, but still its still sounds like its own original song... I hope that makes sense
So the start of the song is Ai [big suprise there], but instead of her normal awesome sounding self, her voice was digitally altered to a higher pitych to what people call the 'chipmunk lines'. This is then followed by Reina and her chipmunk line. After that odd shock we are treated to suitar/guitar music [which I really love]. Then comes the non chorus main part of the song [I am really bad at music termanology...is it bridge?]. This part consists of very fast japanese words being sung by the girls at a rate that even JunLin have a hard time keeping up with in live performances. [mic recordings]. Then the chorus, this part contains the sexy princess parts of the song as well as Ai's now famous "Ii Janai" line. After the chorus is more suitar/guitar music accompanied by the "HOI HOI HOI's" which add great energy to the already genki song. Eri and Risa then take on thier chipmunk lines. A lot of people dont like the chipmunk lines but I found them to be a quirky adition and a bit of fun. Skip to Risa's first solo and YES! she sounds awesome, just as I knew she would. Anyway you can listen to the song yourself but overall I really Really like this. Its quirky, fun, energetic, powerful, sexy all in one and I hope will be a hit. I really like the indian kind of sound, its a nice change. The main vocalists Are Ai and suprisingly Eri who sounds great in this song. Risa and Reina take the minor vocals. There is an odd lack of Sayumi in this song, never thought I would miss her voice in a song but it is a bit of a shame she didn't get a solo line. Also as this was Koharu's last MM [yes OMG she is graduating] some people were annoyed that she wasn't featured more prominently in the single just as Yossie was in Kanashimi Twilight. So yeah, great song, great music, Liam Likes :D

This is the dance shot ver. As this only came out like today I didn't cap it, and probably wouldn't if it came out ages ago as the dance is so fast paced and hard to cap anyway. I wont go on too much so here is a quick thing about it.
This dance is the funniest, sexiest, craziest dance I have seen since Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance. Its just full of win from the ass rubbing, boob thrusting and that weird russian march thingy as well as the risa/eri kicks. Just pure awesome! Cant wait to see people attempts at this...I wont try, it looks too hard to me. Watch JunJun's feet @ 3:27 LMFAO

Close up version: BRILLIANT. The girls move around, do hand movements, give different looks.....probably the most exciting close up I have seen in ages for that reason. Not much to say really but the best bits would be @ 0:12, 2:35 & 3:50.
