    I thought it would be worse

    For me it's the most mediocre single of this year for 3BJ

    Umm for me it's a little better than Nanairo Dance, and the sales go in the same direction as my opnion (Nanairo dance 1st week sales: *14,212 )

    However I think it's a shame, because as a group they have greatly improved but their songs does not accompany them and that makes they selling less than other stardust groups that just starting as Tokisen or Rocka's because their songs are much catchier and craziest

    Really? I guess this is my favorite single from stardust this year... I don't really like the b-sides, but I do really enjoy the title track a lot

    Really. I have no single from this year that I like much, I like "Power Ball" more than other yet and some really great b-side songs like "summer dejavu" of Ebichu

    There aren't any up yet... but since I was really interested in what they were singing in this single I tried to translate the lyrics myself :D
    Most of the lyrics are Japanese places or items, so you might have to use google to find out what things like Tsuutenkaku and Chawanmushi are :P

    I may be way off, but Hi Fu Mi Yo could refer to Sun(Hi) Wind(Fu) Water(Mi) Earth/World(Yo) [but these are abstracted pronunciations though].
    It's the only thing I could see that kind of fits with the whole talking about Japan theme, maybe as a reference to Fire Wind Water Earth elements...like saying "It's all here in Japan"

    As I said, I may be way off the mark here :)

    The Japanese language has some ways of counting things.

    1 - Ichi / Hi
    2 - Ni / Fu
    3 - San / Mi
    4 - Yon / Shi / Yo
    5 - Go / Itsu
    6 - Roku / Mu
    7 - Nana / Shichi
    8 - Hachi / Ya
    9 - Kyu / Kokono
    10 - Ju / To

    Thanks guys!
    I'm pretty sure momomofu is on point, but we all know how obsessed the Japanese are with puns...
    so delweeve's interpretation might very well be correct as well!

    So, it's a song about Japan, from the narrative of a tourist, sung in Japanese by a Pop group from Japan.

    Haha yep, I was way off!! Thanks momomofu :)
    I should have seen this; it's the same thing Babymetal did recently in Awadama Dreamer "Ichi Ni San Shi / Hi Fu Mi Yon" during the bridge, though in their film clip the girls are actually counting it out with their hands as well which makes it easy to pick up.

    This single wasn't awful.
    I really enjoyed カラフルフェスティバル and the chorus of MBS gets me hella pumped. And as I mentioned before, I've grown to like the title track.
    The songwriting might not be super strong, but compared to Massugu this is a masterpiece lol
    (come at me Ebichu fans, I've got higher standards for those Middle Schoolers. Massugu is fucking bland)
    I'm excited to see what songs they put on the album, so I'll leave hating on Avex until after the release :P

    Summer go round is the best song of this single for me

    There are such complex and powerful vocals in Massugu, written special for Ebichu voices that I just can not call it a terrible song

    Summer go round it is not a bad song but the rest I do not like
