....Jesus christ, fire whoever did the arrangement. Razu Nekono? How do you fuck up a song that has been remixed to death and has been popular for like a decade already? Everybody knows how this song should go.
Yet this arrangement, without really even changing anything stylistically about the original track, manages to completely mess up the harmonies in the chorus and other parts of the song to the point where it feels like all the satisfying parts of the original are just annoyingly and frustratingly altered to just be worse, without even adding anything to it
MV was good, mixing was okay, (performance was a bit soulless imo) but man this time it's really the arrangement that has to drop the ball and ruin things.
I'm surprised it wasn't the same person who did Renai Circulation for Watame,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7MvA9i7byQ the instrumentals seem to be by a completely different person but I remember still being taken aback by how weird and unsatisfying the track was for this especially in the chorus again
Cover just seems to be cursed with people who can only make frustratingly inferior versions of Renai Circulation; please hire someone who knows how to do a good arrangement (which really shouldn't be too hard imo, this is probably one of the most famous anime songs of the current decade and there are tons of people who have made good remixes or even meme edits of this song)
