I like the interview, gives some interesting insight.
I do agree that it sounds more like Nami Tamaki and other artists for this newer track (and the second season as well)
I however don't find it as interesting, powerful, nuanced, catchy or whatever as the kinds of old songs people are comparing it to. It's great to revive old sounds and reimagine them, but the music still has to be good for me to appreciate it. I would like more from her in her vocal delivery, and I would like more from the compositions and arrangements. It's just missing a little something (all three singles so far, but more so the latter two). The first single is still the best to me and the vibe is very "cool" so it kind of works. The first definitely grew on me
The imagery is another thing. In the first video, the direction of the video, effects, pacing of the cuts, etc made a lot of sense and went well with the song. Made for a great video. In this most recent video, it's like they do the same things, but it doesn't fit or work well. They could keep the same world and general imagery and still do something different that fits this song.
I feel like avex has an artist like this with plenty of potential, I just need them to act on it.
Anyway, shes really cool, and I look forward to seeing more from her. Just hoping for the best
