It does remind me of love machine too. Even the PV reminds me of golden era Musume.

I think the MV and song remind me a lot of Berryz Kobo.

And it is also quite remarkable that you would not have guessed that it is written by someone else who is not Tsunku. If you just change the female chorus to male, it sounds exactly like something that would come out from him.

Thems big words about it being the next Love Machine. While it's nice to hear, I'm now worried the hype won't live up

I've seen the Berryz comment a few times floating around the internet. But wouldn't you say that Berryz had a very Golden Era MM feel? Though for me, since I only knew Berryz for their last few years, this doesn't feel Berryz to me at all, there's a DJ thing, but the girls really aren't even trying to "be cool" here.

I love this song and video to death, but I can't see Riho singing it at all. Fun, silly songs just weren't her style if I felt she had any certain kind of style. Of the main singers both Masaki and Ayumi really fit this type of song and the others can all pull it off, so I'm hoping that it might be a direction change for post-Riho MM. I could spend a year or two with MM doing happy, silly stuff again.

EDIT: Utakata now has passed The Vision's viewcount. It also has over 9,000 likes already, which is more than many of the music videos since they became '14. If it passes 10,000, they'll have more likes on this video than on almost all of their videos since the name tweak.
