[Blogs] Stereo Love Reviews C-ute’s Namida No Iro
C-ute - Namida No Iro [5th Major Single]
When blackmager decided to start reviewing Hello! Project on Stereo Love, I noticed that a few people had left comments to the tune of “Why?” Why would you review H!P when there is plenty of good music out there?
I don’t care what people review. I just like reading honest reviews.
In this review of Namida No Iro, blackmager is very honest, coming right out and saying that he does not like the way H!P girls are singing. It appears that blackmager is more frustrated with how the girls are instructed to sing rather than whether or not it is possible (at all) for any of them to sing. blackmager notes that the single may take some time getting used to. I’m assuming, based on the high rating for Namida no Iro, that this has happened for blackmager.
I like that IW covers both the rabid fans of H!P as well as those - while they may not explicity say so - who don’t care about H!P. I also like that there is a middle ground. And to speak on that, I think blackmager is in an interesting position. Basically, he can speak to both sides. The few reviews that blackmager has done on H!P have highlighted this. On the one hand, it is refreshing to see a H!P review that isn’t rooted in whether or not Sugaya Risako’s hair looks good (which is an important topic for discussion, so do not get discouraged if you have planned to write that review!). On the other, it is nice to see a non-H!P focused blogger putting H!P alongside other reviews of pop music.
