    hmmm, for me, both coupling didn't have that same instant impact as synchronicity did but after listening few times , it grew on me , kotodamahou has that unubore beach similarity in music

    my partial ranking :p
    in terms of the beat/music - synchronicity, kotodamahou , against
    in terms of lyrics : synchronicity & against, kotodamahou

    expecting synchronicity MV today or friday

    Finally heard both songs and I can say now that I like where this single is heading to. :D

    "Against" is certainly a decent song. I like how they structured the song, from dark sounding chords to sick guitar licks while still retaining the Nogi sound. It's musically complex indeed but it's nice to hear. I'd love to hear this in high quality.

    As for "Kotodamaho", it's very cute and it fits the image of the 4 princesses perfectly. It's like I'm listening to a slice-of-life anime's opening theme. And this is the type of song that should have an MV.

    The songs are okay for the first listen. But I'm sure it will be better when the high-quality one is out. I'm so excited for the MVs.

    For Under member, I hope it's Riria center. Just to 'celebrate' 3-ki for joining the unders (almost the same as Wakaregiwa, when Ranze and other 2-ki debuted in Under and the song was centered by a 2-ki)

    Against sounds amazing. It seems like a cross-breeding between Ikuatenonaibokutachi and Fuminsho, so Nogi-ish style. Waiting for Gen 2's and Gen 3's song :)

    Against - at first I didn't quite get it. But going back to my anime roots, this song is actually good.
    Kotodamahou - if I can compare Synchronicity & Against to watching a television show, Kotodamaho is like a commercial break. A good time to check my fridge and find something to munch :chuffed:

    Woowzers... Aki-P really worked his ass off in this single it seems...
    The songs still relatively generic, but has a great characteristic on each of it.
    Just my review so far :

    Synchronicity --> They emphasize the theme with strong pianos strokes, and the chorus got this upbeat low-low-high low-low-high notes which is typically found in traditional folk songs, which really emphasize on synchronization between singers. The lyrics compliment the fact that the music itself is a really good background music if you put a heavy traffic city as the background.

    Against --> We get a kind of rebellious / awakening feeling from the music itself. It's anime-ish. For a 1st gen song, the lyrics also implying what to do in their life after graduation.

    Kotodama Hou --> It translates kind of literally to "Canon of Words (words as the cannonball)" but other source said it should be "Spirit Cannon". Dunno... Sounds cute, but the lyrics suggest that they are kind of complaining to God in the entire song. I'm not into cutesy songs, but this should do good for the quartet.

    Kumo ni Nareba Ii --> Although it's just from the teaser, it sounds Jazzy! Love the fact that they share solo lines. The music also compliment the title ("I only need to become a cloud"). It gives a vibe that we are 'floating'. Can't wait for the full version. I just kinda hoped that Sakurai is taking the center position though... From the teaser I think we can deduce that Ikuta will be the center instead.

    "Synchronicity" is better for me than "Against"

    I need to listen "Kotodama Hou" more to say if the song is good or not.

    Waiting for the MV

    Synchronicity is so fresh, the atmosphere is uplifting. I'm looping the song now, lol. I hope the MV will be great. Something like Natsu no Free&Easy or Hane no Kioku would be good, having members with their own setting.
