It's based on a performance from a festival. They performed the whole song so there's not much doubt.

What is love is pure Mizuki/Sakura/Miki.

Kimagure Bijin... Is Sakura doing her cute voice.

And the Love Machine is Reina.

Thanks! it' crazy because in the color coded says that the LET'S HAVE DANCE NOW/MY DEAR are solo lines and I hear 2 person every time. 

 

Erg, I hate Sakura's cute voice. She sounds terrible.

This whole song could have been given to 15-16 gens. It would be so freaking perfect. They all sound good in it...

 

Thank you again for the help. I have a hard time with voices.

[YellowAccel]

To be honest, i recognize most of the voices only because i keep track of who gets what line so i listen some performances several times. Still not used to 15-16ki voices though

This is why a completely new line distribution would have been better. 15ki could be more present in the song but they basically just got what Maa and Chii left behind.

I think my thoughts on the album said everything so you know I agree with you regarding the lack of exposure of 15-16kies. It's a shame but I can't recognise their voices except when they are perfectly isolated (Mei's Aisaretai). The units did a good job to help. I hope to see more unit in the future. I'm already curious to see how the group is going to redistribute all the lines in few weeks between Mizu's grad and new year concerts x)

I checked the credits in the booklet, the graduated members are still credited.

 
Boo, guess that means they didn't bother doing group recordings this time either.

 

- Last Kiss: They all sound great even if Akane sounds a bit like she is screaming during her chorus.

Akane made it onto the big girls' song. You're probably hearing Reina there.

Kjkjkj yes sorry I didnt realised I switched thzir names. I was talking about Reina.
I was taking many notes and didnt reread them before typing my thoughts. Thanks

Disappointing, they honestly deserve better sales. A lot of work went into this best-of album, even in the packaging (at least for the L.E)

I just received mine in the mail and the packaging is beautiful. Its the best I've ever bought from Hello!Project (I got the limited edition of the last best of... as well). It certainly is a shame that the sales were low. I got the last best of as well, I personally feel this was better than that one, especially if I just consider the newer songs. I'm pleased and I hope sales will pick up.

 

Also @YellowAccel

That was a great cover, a lot of added effects and drama along with a solid dance cover.

Didn't notice until now but they actually took back a line they gave to Kitario and gave it to Ayumi but also took Mizuki and Miki's lines at the end to give them to Homare and Mei in Roman My Dear Boy studio version :/ Rairi's line was also originally Ayumi's. So every 15 and 16ki got an extra line except Kitario who got one of her's taken... This staff...
