So for me its like:
Song: 9//10
Outfit Choice: 4/10
Dance: 7/10
Video Set: 7/10

I had to do it like this just to properly convey how I feel. I still like A Gonna a lot and I can see what they were trying to do with the outfits (kind of cute hip hop image?). But overall the video tones and outfits clash for me and I don't like it. I especially don't like Ayumi's outfit. Its just so noticeably plain and unflattering with the dance. Its so HP for me in that I find the video so frustrating with the outfits and dance not mixing well together.

I wonder if Momoland will do well enough to make a top 3 spot difficult? (That's assuming Idolm@ster also does well).

Not quite.

Theres been a big controversy at a university when the coach told the player to intentionally injure someone from the other team.
People on the net are saying that the lyrics are very relevant and that the people at that university should listen.

Those outfits are some of my favorites in a long while, everyone looked so good - specially Maria and Harunan (Dem Twintails).

The song follows the current trend of sparse chorus's. It isn't just a Momusu thing, it's EVERYWHERE right now, from Kpop to Western Pop. Tsunku, as usual, is stealthily following trends and making them his own. The man is a genius and this song is great.
