HOLY SH*T!! Piece of Cake was finally uploaded and I just watched it. I don't think that song is THAT bad, Mineta Kazunobu kind of ruins it like he does the P/V. He needs to loose that hairstyle too, not to be judgy. (I'll be honest, I don't know much about him. Aside from learning basic info as I just looked him up.) Miliyah sounds good though and albeit a bit grundy looking, she's really pretty in the P/V. Especially with the long blond hair.
The chorus is the best part(s) of the song.. I don't really have any issues with it until Mineta Kazunobu starts shout singing. I really feel that this would have been a fine song if Miliyah performed it solo, but since they worked on it together... I JUST think why it doesn't sound good is because their vocals don't mesh well together at all. Listening, it was just a strange juxtaposition of her vocals being sweet/pop and his being rough/punk... if you will for comparison. The essence of the song is very cutesy, pop. Its not a good pairing for this collaboration. If they sang in similar styles then maybe it would work, but Miliyah just doesn't have that rough quality in her vocals and vise versa.
Anyway as the P/V rolled into the second half, it just got weird when Mineta moved up toward Miliyah. My initial thoughts ran from, '
oh, its like they're interested in each other, going to serenade each other' then quickly changed to '
omg he wants to devour her'! I mean... I could totally see him being a Titan in Attack on Titan trying to eat Miliyah up. She is not his Piece of Cake and she totally moved him arms length away from her at one point and even at the end as they embrace each other, she's totally punching him in the back. It was just WEIRD.
Oh, THIS kind of scared me:
