A brief introduction
Aoppella!? “is KLab’s latest original multimedia music project built on the themes of “youth” and “a cappella”!

The Aoppella!? franchise released a new acappella music video this time featuring Lil Happy, group consisting on the characters attending Otowa Public High School.
The lineup is the following (from left to right in the image above):
- Sayo Soenji (CV: Tomoaki Maeno) – Bass vocal
- Michitaka Kariyazono (CV: KENN) – 3rd part
- Hajime Suzumiya (cv: Ryohei Kimura) – 2nd part
- Luka Shihou (CV: Tetsuya Kakihara) – 4th part
- Rin Tanba (CV: Ryota Osaka) – Top part
Lil Happy performed an original song titled “Playlist“.
According to Klab, “Playlist” is a refreshing and youthful pop number where the voices of the five members intertwine. The unique melodies sung by each member harmonizes into one complete chorus and weaves a song worth listening to a dozen times over.

I’m curious! What are your thoughts on the song?
@akashiakaashi My first impressions, and without getting into a long analysis, are: the verses have a good flow – with the bass parts + highs being particularly good -, the chorus however, feels a bit flat in comparison. I’m not a fan of the whole “wow wow” filler on the vocals and I believe the song would work better with ad-libs replacing those parts (it would show much better the voice colors of each member).
Entertaining track overall however, it doesn’t have that much replay value to me.
On a first listen, the song comes across as too simplistic and straightforward. There are awesome vocals (for example, Tomoaki Maeno stands out a lot) but no twists in the performance.
What about you? What is your take on this song? 🙂
