Some New Single Impressions from 2ch

2ch is essentially an enormous (thought to be the biggest in the world in fact), anonymous message board on the Japanese internet, known for it's exceptionally heavy traffic and odd influential break into the mainstream media.

Naturally, there's a page devoted to you know who, and last night It's Party Time received it's début airing. Right after the comments started to come in, and after a bit of deliberation I've decided to post a few to give you a general idea about what they're talking about. Keep in mind that these messages come from a faceless message board and so it's of course up to you how much faith you place in what they say.

Anyway, you might want to prepare yourself for a second, because the comments aren't very encouraging.

ラジオで新曲かかった
なかなか良い

They just played the new song on the radio. I thought it was pretty good.

今パーティタイム流れた・・・けどどーなの？これ。全然キラーチューンじゃないじゃん。
なんか物凄くガッカリ。

They just played Party Time, but what the hell is it? It isn't a 'killer tune' at all. I'm really disappointed.

俺はすきだな うん

Well, I like it.

LCA!が好きな奴はこれも受け入れられると思う。おれは駄目。全然駄目。
間延びした2人の歌が駄目駄目。なんだかもう虚脱感でいっぱいだよ。
まじで凹んだ。

I think those people who liked LCA will take to this. As for me, I hated it. I really hated it. They've just sound too slow and stupid. I'm just full of despondency about the whole thing now. My belief in them has been dented.

カップリングも来た

They played the b-side too.

よき理解者であるはずのFPMが作った曲がこの出来だからな
期待が大きかったから余計にショックだわ
これが最後のシングル？
ずっとフォローしてきたファンにはあんまりな仕打ちだろ

I really expected more from FPM- he's a guy who's supposed to know what makes Halcali good and what people want to hear from them. I expected a lot and now I'm in shock. Will this be their last single? This is no way to treat the fans who've been with them from the start.

まあまあよかった

It was alright.

ハルカたんハルカたんハルカたん
おぢさん魔法使いになったよお
魔法でお家をたててハルカたんと暮らすう

Haruka sweetie, Haruka sweetie, Haruka sweetie.

I've turned into a witch. I'm going to use my magic to build us a house where we can live together.

HALCALIみてるか？新曲よかったよー

Are you reading this, Halcali? I liked the new song!

１度聴いただけじゃ分からないな。何度か聴くうちに印象が変わるかもしれない。

You can't know after just one listen. If listen to it over and over, your opinion of it might change.

三枚くらい買ってあげようかな

I'm buying three copies of it.

So, there it is. I cut a few out here and there, but apart from a couple, most of the comments were in the ho-hum to hostile range. 463's advice about needing to listen multiple times seems sound though. Again, keep in mind that these are just a few peoples opinions, and opinions on a message board on the internet at that. I'm still keeping faith that they can give us something great.
