So SHiX, who literally just came up the other day kind of randomly even though I was glad to do it, are putting all of those new members to work already. No, not just stage-idol-buppan stuff, but recording music! And then, possibly because whoever’s running SHiX has a good sense of humor, putting that music online while still in the midst of the production process:

“RoughMIX” is right!
Maybe the actual best part for me is the reminder that idols, despite often being involved in interesting music and often being very good at being the performers/personalities that they’re (poorly) paid to be, also often cannot sing to save their lives. What a standard!
Anyway, the song: It sounds an awful lot like the previous stuff of theirs that we’ve heard, but like if whoever wrote it had just spent a bunch of time listening to syva’s compositions for Zenkimi and NSLE and decided that the chorus needed more sing-songiness but also no harsh vocals anywhere.
I think I’d like to hear the final version, basically.
Don’t you love random idol things? And don’t you love how you can always count on Homicidols.com to have really random idol things clogging up your feed? You can have all of that and more by becoming a patron today!
I really liked that, much to my surprise, and it’s because of the production rather than in spite of it. I’d love to hear a whole album like this but I’m afraid it will all get polished up for any proper release and lose what makes it stand out.
