    Whoa!! It's so dark, I love it!! The song makes it more darker so it's a good one for me...not a fan of jumper with skirt but its a'ight. I can literally feel their pain especially when iori scream and naatan cry. Wohoooo sasshi you little minx :^O^: playing with our heart!! this song makes people have a lots of mixed feeling

    Edit: after I watched this for 100th times I realized that the 2 people in frame scene represent the relationship..who likes who.

    My impression is even though I didn't familiar with dark song, but I really like it. Glad she and her idol did it with their first dark song. They're success too to make me shock and my ears were ringing[hehe]:D ( accientally, i heard it with earphone and in max volume and when i focused to search something in google. Suddenly, PRAAANGGG:shocku::shocku:).
    And I caught a glimpse of Iori looks like Techi a bit (maybe just my feeling[hehe] or maybe not).
    EDIT: hope someone write a lyric and translate it.:):)

    yep! except Naatan is trying to break Mirinya's neck at 1:40 mark [hehe]
    liked the last scene where Naatan threw the phone in the teacher's room through window and a close up of her eyes. need more of dark psycho Naatan!))

    Sasshi said that the black parka from MV will be on sale!

    The Kiara -> Naatan and Sana -> Mirinya seemed a bit more subtle but the other relationships sure look legit.
    male teacher adultery? are we sure about that?

    wonder if the other songs included in the album will be dark like this as well.
    still can't get over all the girl+girl scenes:yikes:

    Naatan is too cute in Dai Tokkun Chu:cute:
    honestly at this point who doesn't know about Hitomi and Ice
    the full black uniform is alright for individual but really not that appealing when all 12 girls are full on black, like they attending a funeral or something
    Maika really did well in A&G

    OMG this MV why so dark.....:cry: and this is before I even know what the lyrics are talking about

    as usual, fav part of the song are Iori's parts

    at the end sounds like there is a bit of english, "depend on you, you copy me"?

    This song is freaking amazing. I absolutely love it, and their singing is really good. I hope they can deliver this song equally well live! The video is creative, and it's something different from what we've heard before (so far, my favourite song has been Todoite I Love You so this is quite a difference). I've listened to it so many times already, I can't wait for the CD release and hear the b-sides as well. I'm seriously impressed with Sasshi and these girls!!

    I'm looking forward to the lyrics very much as my Japanese is too limited to understand what they're singing lol but the video is really amazing and like I already said, I like the tone of it. Probably my favourite Jpop/idol song released in 2018!

    @chronophysicist I think it's depend on you, you complete me?
    Iori is so coool, and she's cooler because of the story itself, I love how the MV, story and song complete the vibe to each other!

    ah just love Iori so much
    - voice is so distinctive that you can recognise it despite the autotune used in the songs, quite a pity because she sounds even nicer without
    - always looks so commited in the dances
    - can play the cute/pretty/cool, dominant/submissive roles
    - does all the above with short hair

    this is probably really irrelevant but just had to get it off my chest about how awesome Iori is

    Damn. Was not expecting such a dark theme MV/Song. I was shocked and impressed. Good job girls.

    It also kind of reminded me of "Echo" by: Gumi (Vocaloid)

    comments after watching Kemono Friends:

    - still don't know Japanese so don't really know what's going on but quite enjoyed the interactions on stage
    - I'm guessing the stage sound system isn't terribly good? a lot of people don't sound like they normally do
    - nice to see that the usually less talkative members(Nonno, Shoko, Kiara) getting a chance to shine
    - Kiara actually has quite seiryu suitable voice
    - some outfits less flattering than others

    I didn't notice anything wrong with the sound, but Hana, for example, deliberately changed her voice to create a character that's why I probably liked how she delivered her role the most. I also liked Naatan and Mirinya, but mostly because the roles fitted them perfectly.
    overall it was a nice play, looking forward to their Girlfriend Beta adaptation.

    ============

    Kiara, Maika, Shoko and Mirinya rap! [hehe]
