I will wait for the full version but this so promising single is going to be really forgettable IMO.

When you can hear such things as Macklemore nowadays this sounds pretty amateurish in every aspects.
But... that's just how her voice is. I'm not really sure how anyone is supposed to take that. I LOVE the rap part... it feels so fitting with the song.

And as for the Macklemore thing, you cannot compare someone who has practically been rapping their entire life to a J-Pop artist's first or second go at it.
