User blog:Snacks Killer/Music in Aikatsu Friends: what do you think?

As the title suggested, I wonder how you feel toward the music in Aikatsu Friends. And I am going to express my personal thought as well. Actually I do want to rant on it…

I think the new music company Digz.inc since the start of Aikatsu Friends did a bad job, instead of the old company MONACA, agehaspring and onetrap. Maybe Bandaid change the music company to cut cost? As the profit made is declining throughout the franchise. And I am going to discuss what I think is bad in the music in Aikatsu Friends. (I am not a pro in music though…)

1. The lack of cohesiveness of songs. Don't know how to put it in words, some songs sounds incomplete and real and satisfying climax cannot be reached. Melodies do fall apart…eg. Have a Dream.

2. The overuse and misuse of beat and sound effects. Very annoying beat and cover the voices of the singers. Eg. Be Star and many other songs.

In my opinion, the voices of the singers should be the main and sound effects are to enhance their voices. Especially if the voices of the singers are strong, indeeed the music should be quieter, let the voices to lead the song. eg. The wasteland's miracle

3. The lack of variety of songs. Many songs does sound like K-pop or J-pop. Eg. Karen's song and Let's find it do sound like K-pop. Maika's song, Kaguya's song and Have a Dream and other songs like Pure Palettes' does sound like J-pop (Similar to that of LoveLive's few and rare good songs). Those songs before Aikatsu Friends does have much variety.

And about Be Star. I think Elza's voice actually is the best fit of the song. Yoko Hikasa intentionally want to differentiate her voice for Hibiki from Elza? Her speaking voice is more masculine and her singing voice is sweeter than Elza…But I do like Elza's strong voices. (She can sing similar to Elza's singing voice, as stated in the tweets of the audiences who attended the Aikatsu 5th Fes.) Also the Gothic Idols' songs did disappointed me.

In the past, I thought the Aikatsu franchise did best in stage design and songs (but not the dresses, not gorgeous enough). But now I thought the songs are not.

Sorry for bad English.
