    The new song is OK, but the PV is absolutely different from the first PV.
    It's time for Tsunku not to use Egg as backup dancers.
    I can see Maeda? And she has her own group!
    I still like “Otome no Inori”

    ^The back-up dancer eggs are all from the new unit S/mileage.
    He didn't even use new eggs :roll:

    Then again, there has still not been a Mano song I've liked.
    They're all a bit too boring for my taste.
    And to be honest I don't really like her voice. (it doesn't have anything to do with she is a good singer or not - it's just her type of voice I don't like)

    I liked all of her stuff so far, even the boring songs. The third indie single was kinda meh for me, but that Manopiano, and oh god, Lucky Aura...if only her voice was better I would listen to them more XD

    But, the more I listen the new song the more I think this is a ripoff of Team K's 'Beach Sandal'. Even the uniforms of the backdancers are alike. And someone just pointed it out on Hello! Online (but the people there don't want to admit it for some reason?) Either way, it killed it for me. I'll have to wait for the next one.

    Perhaps she's being groomed to take Koharu's spot in the H!P scheme of things. She totally lacks Koha's hyper genki personality though so I think it would be a mistake to try and mold her in that direction. (I do like the song and PV though)

    ^ I hope the title will change XD I want it to be "Mano Sonata" or something XD And "FRIENDS" makes me think of a) the TV show, and b) the FRIENDS PARTY event that Erina held a while ago XD

    And omg I love her new single. So cute! <3 :cute: :inlove:

    Recently I listened to Mano's latest single "Onegai dakara..." and I have to admit the single is great.
    While I always thought Mano was kind of boring, this song changed my mind. It's not that I've ever disliked her or anything and I actually like singles like "Hajimete no Keiken" or "Kono Mune no Tokimeki wo", but she didn't really amaze me.
    For instance, if you think about her voice: I'd say it is average, especially if you compare it to former H!P soloists Ayaya and Mikitty. I think she has improved, but she will never be the best singer in H!P.
    Nevertheless, she has her own style and I'm beginning to like her much more than before. This is kind of special, because these days I'm almost annoyed and definitely bored by H!P.

    What I appreciate about her latest single is that it is completely different from all other singles she's had before. This approach to maturity is something I haven't seen with her until now and I think it's a good change.

    The video is, of course, very simple simple, but in between the "normal" scenes there are some backstage scenes of Mano and these are very cute again.

    Btw. when I first saw the covers, I was pleasantly surprised.

    And here's the PV :)

    Ok, I don't hate Mano Erina, to start, I don't care about her at all but yeah, no hate.

    However, even though this song is very good, her voice isn't. She struggles landing the notes and squeaks here and there. Nothing too bad with that, idols aren't exactly known for their vocal prowess. Still, I keep wondering how it would've sounded if it was Ayaya or Nacchi singing it.

    TOTALLY AGREE!! Her last two releases have been great!! Much more mature and show her true age.
