THE IDOLM@STER MASTER ARTIST 2 Series

[Raestloz]

Good old Engrish, making things sound the same

Well, my listening skill is not that good, and they were made to rhyme. I guess partly it's my fault, but the claim still stand: she repeat the same verse over and over lol

Now waiting for the second 3.

Also, anyone knows what is the "First Season" partof MA2? If anything the dang series are the second master artist.

Yeah, I don't think I'd have been able to understand what she was saying without seeing the lyrics XD

I think Makoto, Chihaya, and Takane are the "Second Season", then Yukiho, Yayoi, and Mami are the third...

Though, that's just how I thought it was XD I'm not really sure if that's the case.

Just listened to TRIAL DANCE again while looking at the booklet.

So, that "same verse" I was talking about was the two words "TRIAL DANCE", the very title. Pretty ironic: the very title made me excited while at the same time the very title makes me stay away.

Well, this song is pretty much made of repeating the same english word over and over with one different word in between. Not for me I see.

So, that means the entire first season of the second master artist consists of 12 CDs, that'd make Master Artist 01 the zero/prologue season then

Maybe the "second season" is Jupiter's? Or they will use "Master Artist" brand instead of unique "Master"s like Masterwork, or Master Special, or something for each series?

I think Hibiki had the best album of the 3, then Haruka and then Miki.
Hibikin singing a ballad *________*

Hmm, maybe we can give Second season to RK? and then 3rd to Jupiter?

...er, I'm not really sure why I keep coming to a conclusion that there are 3 XD

[Raestloz]

Goddangit, I don't know what happened but I'm craving for Miki's Tip Taps Tip, like the first time I got my hands on Shinku and DREAM T_T. It's just so addicting...

Damn, Project-iM@S team sure know what they're doing, probably too well... Now hoping that Chihaya and Takane won't fail me (especially Takane's THE Ai, I hope she makes it sound great, like what Chihaya did to Agent Yoru wo Yuku re-m@ster)

[TweenDoriru]

I guess since I've listened to HALCALI's Tip Taps Tip so much before they iM@S-ized it, the original still holds best for me XD

Though, the more I listen to it, the more I love MEGARE! (all 3 versions, so far XD). I hope it's in-game...

I wonder if RK is going to sing it, as well; I really want to hear Azusa sing it.

[Yui]

Nada sousou : It's pretty good, At last they got to use Hibiki's slow version voice. Also, from Middle East to Far East? Still in the East I guess

When I heard that music (Nada sousou), I thought: "Unbeliavable!". I never thought that I'll hear that music again. First Yukiho with Tsugaru Kaikyou Fuyugeshiki and, now Hibiki with Nada Sousou. Well, my mom like to sing that musics.
Oh... yes, I like that.

Really? Nada sousou is a nostalgic song? I can hear that in Tsugaru (it's too obvious to ignore), but I'd never guess Nada sousou is one.

On an unrelated note, while Miki's version of Squall is great, the ending is... well... disappointing.

I mean, you have 4 minutes full of lyrics, and then the last 30 seconds are nothing but hearing her simply humming?

I understand that the original Squall is actually a bit worse in that aspect (the last 30 seconds are nothing but instrumentals, now THAT's a rip off), but... IDK... Miki's hum doesn't quite cut it.

I ended up confused as to when should I press "next". Should I wait till it's over? But lyrical-wise it's over already...

[yukipo]

I really liked Miki's! Her "Tip Taps Tip" was awesome! I think all the new and request songs were pretty bland though.
MEGARE is okay, but it's nowhere near "i." I just can't see it as being the general image song for all the idols in this series. :/ its geared too much towards the lazier/silly characters like Miki, the twins, Yayoi, ect.

I'm really excited for the second trio of CDS on the third. I didn't quite enjoy "The Ai" sung in a group (or anyone in that group's voice) but the Takane solo I can already tell will be a win. Chihaya always has solid songs and Makoto is so-so for me in general. But maybe I'll be suprised.

And I don't know if anyone has posted about this yet but Yayoi, Ami and Yukiho covering Perfume's "Sweet Donuts" is so cool! I can't wait to hear it. I'm already super anxious.

Sorry for the long review thing...I tend to do that a bit when new CDs arrive. ;;;

Well I wanted them to cover a Perfume song. Well, I'm really good with Japanese but if you want somoene to post the other stuff, I can try to take a guess. So according to this:

Yayoi is covering Sanpo by Azumi Inoue

And of course, the group will be covering Sweet Donuts by Perfume.

[hamuzou961]

interesting choice for mami. lets see how it turns out. and idk why but sanpo seems too appropriate for yayoi. I can already hear it in my head.

[Neko-P]

 Yukiho and Mami doing Sweet Donuts? I... That's EPIC!

 I'm not quite as impressed with Yayoi doing it, but partially because I never was impressed with her voice. But you know what? I'm counting on being impressed in the group cover.

Ahhh~ I love Hanako~!
It's too bad I hate Yukiho's new CV though. I would cry to hear Yurina cover Hanako Oku.
