User blog:CureHibiki/Hibiki Reviews Music: The Movie Vocal Single

Introduction
Here we go again, folks. Hibiki is back to review the latest Aikatsu Stars! single as she basks under the warm sun on this beautiful, cold day. shivers Today, I will be reviewing "Aikatsu Stars! The Movie" Vocal Single, which came out, today of all days, August 17, which isn't that special. It contains...POPCORN DREAMING♪, sung by Sena and Rie, Aikatsu☆Step!, sung by the soon to probably become S4 members, and the karaoke of POPCORN DREAMING♪ as we don't need no more karaokes of Aikatsu☆Step!.

Before I begin, I have to say that the cover jacket for this CD is beautiful! It really represents Yume and Laura's (#Rola!) friendship and the fact that for an interesting reason, it kinda looks like they've just finished changing and they are jumping from the change room onto the stage together. Oh, and their costumes are so pretty. I want Yume's outfit so badly!

POPCORN DREAMING♪
POPCORN DREAMING♪ is the first song of the track as well as the third and final track for its karaoke. It is sung by the main duo of AIKATSU☆STARS!, Sena and Rie and it really suits the two of them. However, I'm trying to figure out how this is also a "cool" song. I'm trying to figure this one out as I try to study for a Japanese test smiles. Anyway, this song...is really catchy to listen to and is the best Sena and Rie song out there! But...it falls flat at the same time. Like...it sounds better with the time of 2 minutes instead of 4:27 minutes. Why? Because it's pretty much the same thing in the other half. "That is every single song, Hibiki!" is probably what you're thinking, right? Well, I wanted something different in the instrumentation. I've listen to this twice, okay, and it just seems like the same thing over again in the second half. Plus, that instrumental break is just the chorus but with a guitar instead of their voices! I wanted a different tune that still matched!! Like all the other songs! Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it sighs. I still like it and it makes me wanna dance so that's a plus, I guess~

They're voices? I liked them even though I swear...it sounds like Rie is running out of breath when she sings as Laura (#Rola!) XD Like, are you okay, Rie? XD

Aikatsu☆Step!
Aikatsu☆Step! is the second track and do I need to review this? Well, I guess I might have too. I only listened to it once...and I don't wanna listen to it again because...Miki...Miki...Miki...Miki....why can't you stop sounding sexual!? AH?! breathes Okay, sorry, you're probably sick of me ranting about Miki but I'm sorry, I really wish she sounded different and didn't voice Ako. Also, I seriously swear she sounds better live, even though...she and almost every one else sounded...off...in the live performances. I don't know if it was the dancing but no one seemed to do well at all. Also, Kana...I didn't notice her at all XD Like, I hardly heard her XD Sorry, Kana >.< Like, when she sung with Rie...all I heard was Rie XD But...you know...Sena and Rie's duet is definitely better than the quartet version. 100% better. I just...nothing beats the original version of the song.

Conclusion
Well...to top that off, POPCORN DREAMING♪ is pretty good despite the instrumentation being...repetitive and Aikatsu☆Step!...I can't believe I disliked it! I really thought I would love it due to how much I loved the original. Oh well, go away negative thoughts!! I say listen to the songs, they're still awesome! I just can't wait for the new single as I want new songs, now! I really need some new Aikatsu Stars! songs. And where is the Dancing Days full version? I am going crazy waiting for it!
