Tim: Yes. That’s right. This here is what you get when a European boyband decide to try their hands at J-Pop. I’d say “Interested?” but of course you are.
Tom: The word “problematic” is bubbling up from somewhere, but let’s see where they’re going with it.
Tim: Oh, and be warned that this is a pretty awful lyric video.
Tom: Hahahaha. That’s incredible. That pre-chorus. That glorious key change. I can’t stop smiling.
Tim: So there we go. It’s utterly ridiculous, as far as a European market is concerned – brilliant, but still utterly ridiculous. Stick it over with the rest of the genre, though, and it sounds about right, and to be honest makes me wonder why I haven’t delved around there previously. It’s fun. No, it’s a lot of fun.
Tom: Damn right: don’t forget there’s a big crossover between Eurobeat and J-pop. This is mashing the two together really rather well.
Tim: It’s an experiment, sure, but as far as I’m concerned it pays dividends. Well done to all concerned. Though, seriously – that title?
