So more than anything this one proved, that for most of you there is no such thing as too much of a good song, even if the similarities are that apparent. For some though, this wasn't as exciting.
@ThisIsRogue was glad that Kumi showed up at some point, "Kuu's vocal is probably the best thing about this." As with most of the songs that Kumi is featured on, she only makes them better.
@TABOO (7) doesn't stave off his composed manner of critiquing, "When compared to her counterpart,
D.D.D.,
XXX is definitely the weaker of the two. She still bangs, however, with her revamped lyrics and changes in both the production and flow." Love when you sum up my own thoughts on the songs so neatly.
@Squashua (7) decided to cosplay as
@Sprockrooster and mistook the song for a different one, "I originally had this as a 10 but only because i mistakenly thought we were rating
this aggressive grimy electro-scuzz boperoo also entitled triple X. The actual XXX kinda feels like a D.D.D. redux but less interesting." I have to agree that
XXX from the
Dreaming Now! single is hips better to me as well.
Part III, hun,
Part III. A seldom comment from
@EachSmallStep (7) only cements the overall take on this by the lower scorers, "Not quite as solid as its counterpart, but the refrain is an interesting take." Props to
YOSHIKA and
TSUGUMI for coming up with 2 melodies for the chorus.
@vague (8) has a theory, "okay, i know this isn't too different from DDD, but, to me, it feels like a cute demo that avex took and polished into something really, really great. like, obv, idk if that's what actually happened, but i wouldn't be surprised if that was the case ddd. this just doesn't work as well for me, and it loses a little of its spark with SOULHEAD as the lead artist, rather than Kuu." The theory is not on the thruthful side of things, hun, but I do agree with the sentiment.
Moving on to the highest scorers you should notice that's the first song to get the whole
five 10s. First up is a 9 giver though,
@Cutlery, who had a reason for giving it less, "Subtracting a point cuz this is basically the same as D.D.D. but less enthusiastic and with slightly less production quality. Still a bop" Really? I believe the production is on par with its sister, only that the chorus melody is less striking.
@RUNAWAY is once again gushing, "this ‘answer song’ is just as good as the original, and I honestly might like it more than D.D.D. It’s just SO GOOD." Now that's a statement for a headline. I wonder how quick
@Weslicious is in noticing which of the sisters his listening to, "A good sister track to DDD. Both as good as each other." Happy you enjoy them so, hun.
@Remorque has a similar expirience with the songs, "Okay, but I'm living as much for this one as I do
D.D.D.." Hmmm, would people guess
D.D.D.'s placement after this elimination? So how does it feel being on the bottom,
@otenkiame? "DDD's twin sister, and so delicious with the more prominent electric guitar. I actually dig this track's rap verse more, but like DDD's chorus more. Regardless, LOVE both of these." Glad you love them so much.
