I feel like MM is now the experimental group in terms of how HP can progress with their song structure. Chu Chu Chu is that example, it's the first time I've heard a wind, reed-like instrument (felt like a flute, but I could be wrong) being part of an HP song track instrumental, moreso how this song was actually done. It wasn't really bad, but the idea that we're getting bland songs constantly since K&K made me realize that maybe HP is indeed saving up for their 25th formation anniversary in September, and their debut anniversary next year.

I have a feeling i'm gonna get weirdly addicted to Chu Chu Chu I don't know why.. only heard it once so far but i find it weirdly appealing

There will be a Instagram live today with an announcement. I assume they're gonna confirm the single.

What? The release date is pushed back?

[Gabby]

^ I don't think the 5/19 date was every right. It's a Thursday and only a week after Anju.

First press bonus items will include postcards from various CD stores, mega jackets (5 types) from Amazon JP, solo visual member acrylic charm from 7net, B3 sized poster from Sony Music Shop, and an original can badge from Rakuten Books.

I love Eripon's bleach blonde hair. It really helps her stand out.

[YellowAccel]

Cover are generic like most of the time but bonus points for putting Chiisaki center twice and having outfits referencing her two member colors. It's really sad to see MM losing two popular members one after the other...

The mv of Chu Chu Boku No Mirai will be released later today.

[YellowAccel]

I expected a bland dance shot but they put some effort into this. All the girls got a good amount of screentime with Chiichan being the "most important".

Still don't like the song, though the live version was a bit better. And the vocoder on Chiichan only solo sounds very bad IMO.

Ok too Late wanted to Share the Link to the PV preview

[Sugaya Risako]

the pv is awesome! I love mei's "what?" . it was cute.

[patapataful]

PV (content? Haha) and Song are a meeeeh for me. The girls are beautiful (Don't like the blond hair of Eripon) but the song and the Boeing
CFI pv are a no.

[Juandalyn]

The girls look really, really pretty.

 

The song is not horrible but not great either. Currently I'm only sticking around for the girls lol.

The overall MV design is... okay. They went a bit wild with the editing again, and the greenscreen looks a bit lazy (as in the girls' renders just look like cardboard cutouts thrown unto the background). Overall though it's okay.

[tadase]

oh wow did the budget for this single go more to the video than the song??? it's definitely a looker, they made full use of CG this time around and went all out with stuff haha

 

but damn the flute parts are catchy, as well as the violin dance break. very catchy but falls flat of being that good MM song

 

How does JP wota respond to the song? I'm very very curious

[XFER]

REINA!!!!! She has a nice solo!... in the second part! So she'll never get to sing it after the initial promo :'( I was like "lol such a shitty song", but after watching/listening a few times, it's starting to grow on me. 

 

Erina is quite the looker! I would never have imagined her becoming this gorgeous, while she was in her first two years in the group lol Basically my eyes were glues on Erina, and barely noticed anyone else... except Chisaki, which being her graduation single, it was a given she was going to be central. So, basically, only Mizuki, Reina and Chisaki have solos?
