Bitter & Sweet - Taiki Bansei

 

If you look back a few pages.

 

And yeah, they changed Moemi tambourine to a smaller one, but she still can't control the rhythm well. Doing percussion while singing is hardddd.

Watching this week GREEN ROOM, I did not expect UF to give the girls this much freedom in their performance. I feel that both girls are too inexperience to come up with their own ideas and be able to execute it well. They are not a veteran performers like Reina, or an experienced musician like Nee-san. But now is never too late. This will definitely be a good training for them if UF staff give them enough inputs.

 

But what I really think they need now are better costumes, something more flamboyance and eye-catching. Taisei wares crazy costume when performing in SharanQ because he cannot move around as a keyboardist, and a costume is one way to get people to look at him. And they should care less about standing next to each other while performing. Moemi should turn on her Freddie Mercury mode more often and run a round the stage an such. It make their live more dynamic.

UF made an idol group and sent them on stage in tshirts and stuff left in the closet from older performances... How are they going to treat a pair of young musicians?
"Do it yourself, we're your talent agency, not your parents," really seems like the correct stance.
Do Bitter&Sweet have producers? I always assumed they only have managers (and producers for a specific song or single)

About the costumes, I think Asahi is lovely enough as she is
I wasn't fond of Moemi before but I like her now for some reason.
So I think Moeimi is doing something right to get me to like her

They are now "wild" like Reina and LoVendoR so I don't think they would fit the image and style

They had some radio recordings in Nagasaki the day after the live, and you can tell that they gave it their all at the live because Asahi sounds husky.

GREEN ROOM No.11 - 46:29 Bitter&Sweet rhythm lesson using drums.


Asahi looks so cool playing the drums
She look so natural at it.
Its a wonder why Asahi isn't getting more love

[VioletDreamer]

I love this group. Has they're been any news of another single from them? I'd love it if they released an album too of course.

[VioletDreamer]

It's on CDJapan now here! It doesn't show the whole track list yet, but it will have seven tracks including Dream Girl and Mayonaka no Lonely. I can't wait!

Edit: The previews are on iTunes. It also includes a Bitter & Sweet version of Rolling Days, one of Asahi's singles.

Bitter&Sweet New Year Message.

[timekiller001^]

Got my copy of the album yesterday and just started to listen to it.

Mayonaka no Lonely is definitely my favourite of the album. The new version of Rolling Days is not really my type, as they've changed the instrumentals used and sped up a bit (I believe). The other songs are not bad, but not really my favourite songs. I like all of the single's songs more, so I don't really consider this as a great album.

But I'm hoping for much more for them, I'd like them to get more support from Up Front
