Looks like Tsumetai is my least all around favorite of the three. The PV and covers for One and Only look amazing, and I'm loving the outfits and covers for ENDLESS SKY.... but I'm so tired of the white outfits. Its been white outfits all year and I guess MM needed its turn but i'm done with it. The covers for Tsumetai, although I'm glad they feature Riho, are also really boring.
Also in terms of the songs themselves, I still like One and Only, its not my favorite song in the word and sounds like it was written by google translate, but I really appreciate the gesture and its still catchy enough. For ENDLESS SKY I definitely prefer it over Tsumetai. There are some beautifully done parts towards the chorus that really grab you and I can't wait to hear the radio version so I can hear it better. Tsumetai reminds me of that Ai-Riho song on the 12 Smart album... which I never really liked. I guess I like the platinum era feel to it, and I'm happy it was created as a Riho solo (So its kind of like we get one even though we really don't), but its just not my type of song. Hope it gets a nice PV so that it can change my mind.
Overall this single is rather lackluster, but I'm more happy that we got another single at all. We already had the amazing trio that was Oh my Wish, Sukatto, Imasugu and those are rather rare, so Its kind of okay to have a more meh single afterwards. Maybe I'm just used to it at this point. I feel like I wouldn't have said that a year or two ago.
