PURIMA (Kimiko, Purin, SoA, Yukiki)?! 2nd Single?! - Kousui/LU LU LU

[Yukiki]

PURIMA - Kimiko, Purin, SoA, Yukiki

Okay guys, serious stuff - it even has a cover and all.  Anyway, when Suki Sugite was really hot, we assembled, sang - then died.  Two years later, I listened to our old songs and got the impulse to reform.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get in touch with Jou, but Kimiko came to play.  And thus, a second single!!!

OMG, IT'S A KOUSUI KARAOKE. KOUSUI KOUSUI. IT'S MY FAVE MK SONG. 

The singing was great, I loved all the solos and SoA/Kim made some really gorgeous blending there! And the rap is fun! Yukiki is that really you on the rap? You sound so sexy, I never heard you that low. The only thing that distracted me a bit was the mic puffs and sometimes the harmonies. On some verses they are really good but in others they sound a bit off? ^^"

LU LU LU was the best of the two songs though. The group parts are all nicely done, the harmonies sound great and the mixing was better, so overall it was kickass. Great job everyone!!

[Song of Amazon]

That was... in a word: sweet.  We need to make this more than just a 1-shot group.  All of our voices are something around the same timbre and the blend works awesome.  Great mixing!  Lu Lu Lu sounded almost perfessional.  There were times where I honestly started thinking that Purin was Miki and Yukiki was Aya. 

That was fun!

[Kimiko]

OMG I almost forgot about this!! I'm so happy it's released!! ^_^ I have to say I was really impressed. Really really impressed! We really blend nicely together! Thank you so much for inviting me, I had a blast and would love to do more!

But OMG, I just died hearing myself in the rap. I didn't think you'd use ANY of my rap lines.. lol

I'm so thrilled with these songs, I love them both! Awesome mixing too!

I reeally like LULULU! It's my favorite GAM song, so yay~

And I didn't really listen to Kousui yet, but I did listen to the rap because I was not able to do it at all! Ahahaha! But awesome job on that part girlies (mainly Yukiki and Kimiko!)! It sounded really cool~

[Liana]

Unfortanetly I coud only listen to the muddle lo-fi versions so I don't have anything technical to say other than y'all sound great! Most karaokes end up having one or two girls in there that are like "Eh" OR a bunch of people who are really good but poor mixing and lots and lots of diva-ness and oversinging. Any diva singing I heard in this was appropriate and not just to show off and the mixing was good I think? Lo-fi again ahaha but I heard everything was on time and really that's all you need. Good job girls!

[jko]

How the hell do you do Kosui without the gay three-part vocalizations? FAIL. >O
Hahaha seriously, I abstain on that one because I don't CARE how pretty you and your solos and other harmonies come out -- if you don't do the part in Kosui NOBODY can do, then you don't do Kosui. XD

HOWEVER, LU LU LU was AWESOME. It's a great pairing in this group, because you guys all have similarly-toned voices, high-end sopranos with a side of sweet hanging out. <3! It was a pleasure to listen to you guys, and I look forward to hearing y'all try some more stuff!

Hey, I always wondered where the name PURINMA came from!

[Yukiki]

haha its PURIma!  I think SoA suggested it when we first did this... I don't remember what it was supposed to stand for, but it was something vaguely related to DEF. DIVA... ahh okay, i just remembered!  I think it was short for "prima donna."

[Song of Amazon]

Yup!  Diva=Prima Donna=プリマ=PURIMA

Hoorah!  Totally downloading for future listening.

[Princess Pudding]

Ahahaha I totally did not remember that! I remember the conversation about the name vaguely though!

[Dallie]

Kousui - OOh really good vocals and mixing! The little cover there looks cute too.  Ummmm dont' know what to say, never heard the original, but this sounds really really good! With no commas!   

LU LU LU - I like this song. It's nice. And stuff. Just as good as the first one. Maybe even better. Actually, yeah, it's really gooderer.
