Talk:Aikatsu Planet! (live action and anime)/@comment-32264325-20200730163441

Bad news. The 2 idols from AKB and Momoiro Clover Z are announced to be the guest representatives of Aikatsu new project. You know, those idol groups typically only care about appearance and personality and have poor singing skills. I can only hope that they will not be the main cast of the new project

Btw, Sakuya's CV who is from Rainbow's Conquistador has poor singing skills, so this make me cautious about singing skills of those idol groups. I really don't care about whether those famous idols have good personalities or hard working or personal charm, because in songs the essential thing is the singing skills.

(According to a blog called vmayfy by a vocal professional, the CVs of Love Me Tear, Maika and Hibiki sing very well, while Aine have rich singing voice and probably is selected because of her singing instead of her acting in the beginning is not good. Wakaba's CV has nice soft and hard skills and Aine and Ema sings OK, while some with certain popularity but not as famous as Soleil CV or Hikasa Yoko, do not have good singing skills, which are the CVs of Reflect Moon, Mio and Alicia.

By the way, the best singers before Friends! stated in the blog are Nanase as Lily because of expressiveness of her singing / soft skills, Kana as Mahiru because of hard skills / the correctness of voice projection, and Miho, the rich singing voice like Aine's CV does. Waka as Ichigo, Remi as Otome and Eri as Sakura was also praised to have sparkling singing voice. I personally think Risuko sings well because her songs are difficult and Fuuri as Aoi too. I think actually Aikatsu series is good at finding those with good singing ability like Nanase, Kana, Miho, Akane, Rin, but that is limited to public auditions and these 5 debuted in Aikatsu, not picking those existing idols like in Dearstage.)

During Aikatsu Friends, I think changing the music company to Digz was already bad, but now the situation is worse. In a music franchise, the most important thing is the rhythm of the songs / the ability of the music composers, then the singing level of the singers comes into second. But if Digz + famous female idol groups, I think both are not satisfactory.

(Well as previously mentioned, Digz likes overusing sound effect and pause in phrases, and the lack of variety of songs,  I expect the Gothic songs should sounded foreign but they just sound like electric jpop, and then most of the songs sounded like common Jpop and Kpop, then why doesn't I directly listen to songs from other anime instead? Also, I think if the singers have strong voices the BGM should be quieter, should assist the singing voice but not to be louder than that. Just compare the Wasteland's Miracle with Be Star, they are good examples as both Nanase and Hibiki's CV have strong voices.

Monaca, one trap, agehasprings did excellent job as they will mix different instruments, genre and foreign music so the songs sounded unique. They have mixed jazz, Arabian, US,  progressive rock in 60s / 70s, brass instruments, bell, medieval music or European music in some of their songs. And they don't have the bad traits of Digz as mentioned above.)
