r/PhantomSiita

Can we talk about this IG video real quick? Unfortunately, it hit the wrong audience and got totally flooded with comments like 'what the hell did I just watch' and hate stickers. It makes me so upset because Moka and the other members put in so much work, just for people who don't even know what idols are to come leave nasty comments. I’d love it if we could go leave some sweet comments for Moka... I'll drop the link in the comments

Basically the title

For Zoku zoku I always thought it was Moka but I'm not sure

For Suki Kirai I saw a lot of people saying Hisui but also some were saying Mona,I honestly don't know cuz I think they all shined equally in Suki Kirai

Everyone always talks about their favourite song,but what about your least favourite?

Least favourite doesn't mean bad,it just means it's lower in the ranking

Mine: Probably Meguru, it's not even the different concept I jst think it isn't for me. Beautiful song but not my cup of tea

I don’t really have a least favourite since all of them are really good but what’re y’all’s opinions?

First of all i want to say that Phantom siita is my favourite band, i listen to them everyday almost without exception, with that being said, I don’t like the decisions the team has been making with the group, specially with the group’s concept.
Ps is a retro horror group as everyone here knows, and that is not being reflected well lately in my opinion, for example with older songs like hanagatami, although beautiful and ethereal (big fan of the choreography) it has nothing to do with what they are supposed to represent, but my main problem is with bot bakka, meguru and their latest song.
Lets put meguru aside for a moment, the problem with those songs is that the “horror” is only on the MV, the song itself is NOT related to the concept, specifically in bot bakka which i think is a super generic song and not even the MV does justice to the “retro horror” idea the girls have, whereas their latest song has a really amazing MV (The girls acting is amazing) the song feels super generic even with the distorted guitar that sounds sometimes.
For example i think a good example of a song that is not scary at all but mixes perfectly with the concept is rose-colored moon, the sound is super elegant, jazzy and beautiful, while still sounding creepy, a vampire could be listening to this or being the one singing it, lyrics that maybe aren’t super deep but expresses exactly what they want to express, and you can tell all of that without watching the MV, but if you do it gets 1000 times better, it enhances the song by giving you a story that is told with the song and the MV, how the girls pretend to care of the stranded girl, how she escapes, etc. Whereas in bot bakka or The mermaid song (although the lyrics are a little bit better on the last one) if you don’t watch the MV, there’s nothing behind it, it could be a song of any other group without a theme. Another good example is zoku zoku, where the whole song with Spanish guitars and similar stuff may not give you chills down your spine, but its elegance and darker sound and lyrics gives that dark cabaret vibe. (if anyone’s asking, I would say that the two songs that best reflect the band’s concept are devilish girl and doppelgänger, but I think everyone can agree on that).
Lastly i want to talk about meguru, the whole idea of this song is that is NOT a retro horror concept since it was an April fools song, the thing is that they gave it the same treatment as any other song. It would have been perfect to just have that animated MV, and of course being released on Spotify too, but it should not have a dedicated MV, own dresses and being on live performances, i think it deviates the band’s whole motif and makes it look like a regular j-pop group.
Of course this is just my opinion and I’m not used to share it online but since this band is super important for me and I owe the girls and their team a lot I felt like I needed to share it. Thanks for reading and sorry for the rant lol.

I guess, this is kind of similar to one of my previous posts (about the group writing their own songs). But this question has been swirling around my head for a few days.

Only two weeks have passed since Rinneru's reincarnation, and they've already released another song focused on Mona. I think we're going to get a song from each of them until Halloween in this alternate universe. On Halloween, they will somehow destroy this new world.... 🤣

^(I don't really know much about animation, but I've seen people say that this is AI?)
