I've been listening to this song every now and then since the video went up, and... yeah. This song and dance are top notch. Very satisfied. Kodama Ameko + Michitomo = <3

^
I don't think they've rapped like this in other songs. They've done pop-rap-breaks here or there, but something that Japanese rap people would recognize (even if they didn't like it) is... I think... a first.
What I've learned about Japanese so far, is that you must first pay attention to these 2 things: Rule #1 and Context. After that, just pray they remember their high-school English class.

Does this count? This was the first time they tried to incorporate rap, but I think the speed of the rap is too fast for Sekki and Akari to pull off properly.


I prefer the rap they did in KIMIROSU.

I can't claim to be any kind of expert, but I find the two styles of rap very different. In Samurai Girls it is within a certain tempo and timing without pitch... so we call it 'rap' but the use of syllable emphasis in Kimi-Loss makes it much more like what the Japanese Rap-world recognizes as Japanese Rap.

But also, whoah that Samurai Girls PV was nostalgic. 7 members, short-haired Mori, Not-Blonde Furukawa, babyfat Saho (etc). Not to mention the 0 budget "We've got the live-house starting at 10am, so come in, we'll shoot the video and then get ready for the concert after that" :D

As a lark, UUG traded costumes among themselves for their Akiba Culture Theater show today.
Furukawa - orange
Mori - blue
Saho - green
Sekine - yellow
Arai - pink


It is remarkably disorienting even as a fan. But it must have been worse for the members... one (I think it was Furukawa, but I have already half forgotten) said it was really bizarre to see somebody else on stage in her costume. "Why am I right before my own eyes?!"

And they traded solo songs. Which was hit and miss.
From:
Saho doing Mega Mori was rad. Instead of 90% of the "mega mori ni natte" she just did karate kata.
To:
Furukawa doing Kimi-iro Sky was... missable.


But also, they traded PARTS for Appare. And that was... brilliant. Sekine was responsible for the yelling that Saho does, and couldn't quite keep up (nobody has that much energy except Saho). Saho took Mori's position of trying to kiss "Arai" right before her machine-gun-rap, but Mori was not used to being on the receiving end, and got kissed... and in the shock of it blew a few lines, and ended up rapping, "I forgot my lines" before finding her place again. :D (etc)

After watching Kimi-loss for the 800th time (give or take 780) I have finally picked up on yet another great thing about that video... Furukawa's seruss-bizniss face. We almost never get to see that.

They’re actually on tour then, doing full shows. In Osaka June 15 and Nagoya June 16. Sapporo the week before.

Good timing but you’ll have to travel..

<3  :blush:  :nosebleed:

I liked the KPop covers a lot, but it's awesome to see actually modern street dance in Japan.

Edit to add: I went back and watched the choreo-video that UFZS went with... (it's not the official choreography that DJ Snake/CardiB/SelenaG. use) and it made my head explode. I forgot how awesome the 100% full time pros are.
