Hello!°C-ute just put out a download of a live recording of Berryz Koubou’s upcoming single, “Tsukiatteru no ni Kataomoi”. (Download here –credits to Hello!°C-ute)
For some reason, I was anticipating a ballad for this single, sort of like Kokuhaku Funsui no Hiroba. Tsukiatteru is a far cry from that. It’s a really upbeat and energetic song. But it’s not upbeat like old Berryz (Happiness, Fighting Pose, etc). This is a new sound for Berryz, and its really mature. I also absolutely LOVE that this single isn’t another “OMG RISAKO TIME” single. The other members get some good lines, too (but Tsunku has been getting better about that in Berryz these past few singles).
The past two singles in addition to this one really have shifted Berryz in another direction. Before that they were really cutesy, but from VERY BEAUTY on, they’ve gotten a more mature sound. I definitely like this. The girls are maturing, and so is their music. I can’t wait to hear the rest of this single!
