their first single was JoyfulxBox* released in january of 2016! on this single they were directed to sing poorly but BUT there's plenty of merit to both tracks!
i say "both" when there are technically three tracks on the cd! the third was a small audio drama where it really you got to hear the four them interact with each other for the first time outside of text
it took a while for the main story to get the full audio, where it was mainly just cgs that were voiced, so that was the first taste. and the drama itself is just kind of fluff but genuinely cute
this song is just catchy. i'll admit it took me some time to warm up to it because of the vocals. but, honestly, i feel even at their "worst" it's not like i feel rabits tanked compared to some other vocals i've heard from the franchise
i actually really like the enstage choreography for this song. like. the little footwork during the chorus is so cute and i'll admit that i was a little bummed that it wasn't featured when the game MV dropped
but also the bit of animation from the anime was enough to hint that yeah the choreography wasn't going to be the same. which shouldn't be a real shock or anything considering the enstage version tends to differ. like. the old valk songs choreography was intense compared to how it was described in the game
ALSO i love the first enstage iteration of this song. they only had hajime and it's just cute because nazuna starts off the song with "ikuzo" while here hajime uses "ikuyo." like it's not noticeable difference but i appreciate it so much
and then the b side is is Wild Rabbits' Marchโช which definitely doesn't get as much traffic compared to the title song. which. is. fair. it's kind of got more of a march thing going for it. but oddly enough it has been performed for enstage and in starry stage 2nd
this one just gives me feelings for some reason. this one is actually attached to the first gacha story, Marching Band, which just has a cute set of cards. it's definitely nostalgic and gives that humble beginnings type of feeling
their EI-OH! LET'S GO!'s are so cute that i can't get tired of them. that's definitely just a weird overly attached emotional thing because i am kind of overlooking the screechy parts but it's fine shhhhh
november of 2016 brought us their second cd. Hoppin' Season. which i am completely biased to. while the song might not be their best it is my favorite of theirs
it also kind of gives that nostalgic feeling that Wild Rabbits' Marchโช gives me. i guess because it's all about them wearing something similar and doing this thing together. it also kind of feels sort of spring-timey? just it feels rather hopeful
i love the chimes used throughout the song. sometimes it can kinda give me goosebumps. just. idk what it is about it. AND NOW TOMAWARI DEMO IPPO ZUTSU DEMO kind of gets me into wobbly lip territory
hajime's seiyuu described it as a song that would be rabits's comeback song after their loss to akatsuki in the main story? if memory serves? and it's just oh that feels like it'd be so fitting. granted, i love the song but i don't think it'd be enough to get them to fourth place
i actually think i unintentionally started a trend with this song but it's just i don't have receipts to prove that's a truth so that'd be a matter of having to take my word for it
this song is quoteable and it's just. kind of hilarious to me?? because when i saw the lyrics for the first time it was just why does this song sound like it's about sex? the concept is rabits having an "adult party" and apparently three of the seiyuu thought that some parts sounded suggestive so Y'KNOW i wasn't being totally delusion
the lyrics for both songs on this cd were done by the same person, saori codama i believe, so that's fun because i do think they both have fun lyrics because fun
i love how there's a part near the end where it feels like tomoya's seiyuu is focusing on pronouncing "love" properly that it sounds like he says "love la*bits." like. that's cute
november of 2018 brought us their third cd! which was actually kind of different from the first two cds. there wasn't a jazzy or a march-like song on this cd! and this was the first time we got the cursed limited gacha!
while so much rabits stuff was going on i was a very proud rabitsP. we had snowball with mitsuru 5* and the tomoya winter santa gacha and the christmas mini event and the LE gacha and just THEY WERE IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Milky Starry Charm might be what i consider their best. the mixing is great with hajime+tomoya in the left and and mitsuru+nazuna in the right. they didn't have to do that but they did it
the b side is Dream Collection! which i think it's just one of those songs that rabitsP like. man, i remember not being initially impressed with the sound of it but i do think their third cd is their best with vocals
they do that thing in one verse where they say each other's names though i know that's been done in enstars songs. i guess it's just they have sweet names so it suits the sweet song...
i kind of have got this idea in my head that Dream Collection is their repayment fes song. i mean there's nothing indicating that it is and a few of their other songs have been about them being together. just VAGUELY GESTURES
come april 2018, their album was bestowed upon us. which was very !! because they were the second in the lineup when all the other cds before this had them in the second half of a release. there were LE editions of these albums released that came with a booklet and an acrylic stand of the album cover
and, lemme say. the album art for rabits cd?? absolutely precious ( its in the header of this plurk. ) it was kind of a step up from some of their other outfits since they did the sailor thing in a slightly more "mature" way though it's still pretty cutesy
their unit song for the album was MeltyโฅKitchen, albeit with a different heart shape because plurk doesn't seem to like when i type it, and it feels like it might be the most popular song of theirs among rabitsP?
the choreography for this song can be pretty fun and some bits differ between the dream live and MV versions. never mind that the MV is obviously shorter but some stuff just has to be changed with the perspective and all that!
tomoya actually has two chocofes cards because wow he's so cool. as well as having technically two unlockable versions with the outfit. one without the headset from 2016 and then with the headset in 2017. the bloomed in his 3* is just so cute with him cheering hokuto-senpai on
idk why but there's a couple times in the song where there is this bit of TEMPERING TIIiiiIIME and they tap their wrists like they have watches on. like. i just think it's cute??
ngl the translation i have seen of this song does have me a little ?? as my brain is not brain enough to comprehend it so i am not sure what the song means but it probably isn't really supposed to mean anything it's just chocofluff
the song has a strong start and i wish we had an instrumental. as a note, none of the new songs came with instrumentals. i suppose it's because it is because it featured all the past rabits discography on the cd but it's just. man. i buy the cds for instrumentals!! but also please support the official release
the following track is dream collection so it's at 8 where we start with the character solos! which is cute because there was a magazine interview from... 2016, i think? with rabits expressing interest in having their own solo songs. dreams do come true!
all the albums have the leader, of the time, start us off so Niichan Ouen Danโ. which is, of course, Nazuna's solo. and. lemme say. i was initially worried that Nazuna and Hajime's songs were gonna be lousy.
but this song was energetic, much like the character, and the lyrics are cute! the same lyricist did the songs on their second cd and i think she did a good job capturing nazuna's nazuna-ness
this is the first time we get to hear nazuna sing a little more "naturally" so he doesn't have the same cutesy quality like in units songs. also he uses ore in song for the first time as that's how he refers to himself! 3 out of 4 ra*bits use ore. that's a fun statistic
his voice cracks in his first bout of GO FIGHT! which i find kind of cute. and then there are some little speaking parts which i am normally not a fan of in songs but they're just kind of fun?? his frantic NANI NANI kind of goes with the flow of the song perfectly in a way
since i think it sounds similar to nazuna's! like. not in an obvious way? i only was able to pick up on it when we got to hear some instrumentals during the anime event in 2019. it's like they split one song in half and gave one half to mitsuru and the other to nazuna.
that ZETTAI NO ZETTAI NI MAKETERARENAI always gets me kind of pumped up?? like. i have to restrain myself from getting up and running around, if i'm not already, because the song just makes me. want. to. get up and run around
10 is what i think might be my favorite solo out of the four. it's funny because kori and i joked, when they announced the concept of these albums, that tomoya would have the best solo in enstars. and, yeah, he brought it with Higherโ Higherโ
just. it's catchy. the normal guy was blessed with a good song. hell, all of rabits solos are listenable and that is more than i could have seriously hoped for
whenever i am cleaning or something this is a song i absolutely must listen to at one point. which probably doesn't sound like a compliment but it makes sense to me, okay!
there's a lyric near the end that i think is something like ANATA NO TAME NO IPPAI O YOROKONDE MORAETE HAPPY that i just love how he delivers it because it sounds a little different from the norm and decisive while still maintaining that hajime tone
also it's come to my attention that there are some songs along the way that i've missed that features members of rabits but they aren't rabits songs themselves hence why. BUT I WILL AT LEAST LIST OUT THE ONES that have been done up to this point because why not and because one of them is one of my favorite enstars songs for some reason
in 2019, we got that long awaited enstars anime! was it good? nope. but we did get some good stuff out of it. rabits came into clutch when the main story of the anime was interrupted with marionette as that was when we were bestowed the godsend that is Made in Tokimeki โช
a lot of the anime ed songs had this vibe that they were trying to emulate the original cds but update it a tad?? and i think they nailed it with this one. just the first three seconds with the mallet percussion gets me excited-- DATTE KYUNTTE SURU TABI HATO MO FUKURAMU and then suddenly the song is over
there actually isn't a lot for me to say about it?? i just love this one a lot it's catchy and was super happy that we got an instrumental. it was bundled with the akatsuki song, rabits was 3rd ed and akatsuki was 4th, which wasn't bad either.
i heard that they did this song at the latest dream live so i am hoping to see that within the next year. and i am assuming that it'll get a MV soon since other units are getting MVs of their anime eds
another set of iconic outfits, imo. like. i really wish the players in the music server would have voted for these in the MV contest. C'MON GUYS
