/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

It's officially out! What's your thoughts?

Feeling a strong to light 4 personally

Caesura and Diorama are just generic idol pop songs and while IRyS is fine her vocal performance isn't particularly standout. The first two songs along with IRyS's performance feel like they could be mistaken for any other competent, upbeat anime opening single.

Here Comes Hope is more interesting as a glam rock/idol pop song and gives me scissor sisters vibes at points but doesn't strike me as being particularly cutting edge. IRyS is more interesting here but a lot of that has to do with post-production rather than her actual performance.

Meanwhile the remix is just a run of the mill mix-friendly EDM remix with a big build up into the typical sub driven drop.

I still have no idea why most of this follows Japanese pop sensibilities compositionally or is sung mostly in Japanese though. If IRyS wants to be a Japanese pop star, that's fine but it doesn't change the fact that it was completely retarded to bill it as an EN vsinger. She should have joined the JP side in that case.
