>>6672655i just went and listened to SPARKS.
it's zoomer music. it has too many tricks that don't jive with the melody and her voice is literally boosted by engineering.
.....to be fair....
REFLECT had wierd clashes of tricks too (greek lyric bookends?)
is that just what i can expect of Hololive?
however, ALL of the music content supported the melody
(hell even the beat supported the melody)
all of the lyrics were focused and felt personal.
plus, Gura can totally sing.
SPARKS felt ditzy and patched together
the lyrics didn't touch me (if you are bored you haven't figured out that life ends at some point, get off your ass) and though i could see the appeal in Kiara's voice, it sounds like anything modern pop would make.
i don't see why it's hated. i just don't see how it stands out as good.
