Merry Christmas to all!!!
This is the first single from the Bara no Gishiki stage. Features all sixteen members of the Team Surprise unit.
Honestly, this was a really weak way to start the stage. I understand why they did it, because it has the same feeling of most of the 48G A-sides from this year (bar Kibouteki Refrain & Bukiyou Taiyou). There is nothing special about this song at all and I'm pretty sure I've heard pieces of it in their other songs dozens of other times. I know I hate on typical idol pop a lot, but there's a difference between this kind and the kind that actually works (like Heavy Rotation or Everyday Katyusha). This is the type of idol pop that you've sworn you've heard before because nothing stands out about it and you can never remember it after you listen to it. So yes, just a weak way to begin the stage. The music video doesn't really fit the song at all, the outfits do, but then you have this dark stage and strobelights and explosions for a song that would be better suited to being sung in a field (or at the very least a green-screen CGI field like in Yume wo Mirunara). 3/5.
