small review:

NEO START (2020 ver.)
again
rewind the story
Fight for the Right
the force
Call my name
sky
The new intro is basically the same as the one in their first album. Was it really necessary to say it was a new one?

second song again is their re-debut song. Hinano is starting the song with her distinctive voice, she seems to be a main vocalist. I have noticed that the producer Saki Katoh looked for someone that can take original member Yuu role in the group. However, Hinano's voice is way more impactful to my opinion. Then we have both Sayaka and Miyu, Sayaka being more soft than Miyu but honestly both have really solid vocals. Miyu is stronger than Moka in a way but Moka's voice was a bit deeper I think. (Miyu is taking Moka's original role in the group, that's not official but I have noticed that Miyu took all Moka's lines in the original line-up songs). While Sayaka's vocals reminds me of original member Rana but with a deeper voice. So that's naturally that I think Sayaka is taking Rana's role in the new formation. Then comes Ai's lines, she is really refreshing to hear and her type of voice is quite enjoyable, despite not being that impactful compared to Miyu and Hinano. She seems similar to original member Mirei, who was the most inconspicuous member, she was barely noticeable in lives. The last member to sing is Miruka, she has the cutest voice and seems to retake the original center Momoka's role. (Momoka was my bias). Choruses are mostly sung by Miyu and Hinano that adds more impact to the song. Their new concept is "Fight" and that mini-album is a proof that you can be a casual idol group but providing really high quality of songs and vocals! I really think that this line-up vocals are more solid than original line-up ones. I watched Loser and Genwaku performances from the both line-up and came to that conclusion : Miyu and Hinano are way more impactful as main vocalists than were Yuu and Moka.

Third song is rewind the story. that song is one of the most powerful ones of this EP. It was first revealed in prior of their first one man live back in December. Hinano is starting the song again but second singer on this song is Sayaka. I really enjoyed the contrast it makes between both voices. To me Hinano voice and Sayaka one are really fitting well together. Same with Sayaka and Miyu. Miruka has only two lines on this song but it has still a little impact because of Hinano singing just after her. Their voices are completely different here.

On Call my name both Sayaka and Ai are really shining. But my favourite line was probably Miruka’s one. Even if she has only few lines on all songs, her lines are always iconic. Only my opinion though.

 

[Willow]

Fight for the right is really both Sayaka and Miyu era. They really lead the song and gives us a high quality of vocals! I enjoyed the most the end of each refrain sing by Miyu and Sayaka, especially the last one.

My opinion? This is a great example why I should stick to Japan when it concerns idol groups. All the songs are masterpieces.

I am waiting for their next project though. I literally knew all songs and played them on repeat last 4 monthes so xD
Honestly only hearing new versions of original line-up unreleased songs and having new stuff will interest me
And I don't want to wait that much time ... Last release was in May 2019, ok it was the original line-up but still ...
If we count only physical releases it was in September 2018 with Carry ON ... SO PLEASE RELEASE A PHYSICAL ALBUM!!!!

 

[Willow]

@Yachii but I agree all songs are pretty high quality ones.
I have heard they'll play new songs on their free live soon(on 13th May)

The new line up sounds great and I like how the quality is more clear on the recording session. It's a great album and they did amazing with this. Can't wait for the next release they produce.
