DiVA-Tsuki no Uragawa preview


AKB48 subgroup DiVA has released a short radio rip of their debut single Tsuki no Uragawa. The group that consists of AKB48 members Akimoto Sayaka, Miyazawa Sae, Umeda Ayaka and Masuda Yuka, will make their official debut on April 27th.


I gotta say I didn't make a post about DiVA earlier because I thought they were the DIVA from AKB48's singles and thought there was no reason to make a post about it. XDWell I'm still pretty much a novice fan, so it was an honest mistake.
Since this group is being promoted as a vocal and dance unit I was expecting an incredible song. And I am honestly pretty under whelmed with what we hear of the song so far. The music of the song is pretty bland and throughtout the entire song the same beat is repeated. It doesn't even pick up when the chorus hits. The music sounds like an insert song in an anime. There's hardly anything special about it. I was also expecting a lot singing wise. Since it's a vocal and dance unit I was expecting the song to have these huge high notes that show case each girl's full range. However, that's not the case. And the few high notes that are in the song are hit softly so you hardly notice the power in them. Sayaka has an incredible voice and it seems like in this song it was wasted.  All these girls have incredible voices actually. It's just sad that they are capable of more and were holding back a bit.
