[OFFICIAL PV & SONG REVIEW] TSUBAKI FACTORY - SEISHUN MANMANNAKA! (Second Take(?))

That's right, folks.

Tsubaki Factory weren't done just yet with their debut indies single.

I figured there would be a rerecording of the song anyway because the original title had "(First Take)" in it, but I thought the rerecording would occur for their major debut, like Kobushi Factory did it.

...Nope.

The Tsubaki Factory ladies, in fact, are releasing their first indies mini album!

It's titled "SOUND + VISION Vol. 1"!  (Perhaps we can expect a Vol. 2 sometime in their career, or the title is just H!P trying to sound fashionable. Hopefully the former.)

The tracklist is as follows:

1. Seishun Manmannaka! (...Second Take???)
2. Kedakaku Sakihokore! (This was their second indies single, which was and still is a damn great song.)
3. 17sai (Moritaka Chisato cover) (If I remember right, this was the first song they ever performed!)
4. Cabbage Hakusho ~Haru Hen~ (Peaberry cover) (I initially thought it was a terrible song choice for Tsubaki, and I still do!)

Naturally, by reading the title of this review, you'll know that this review is focusing purely on "Seishun Manmannaka! (Second Take)." I'm just gonna keep the "(Second Take)" part there, because it seems correct to me.

So, all four songs have PVs on the DVD for the mini album! The mini album got released in a limited edition format at the SATOYAMA event on March 19th, but the actual release is on...May 18th! Seriously, that's such a long wait!

Luckily, some gentleman (who must have bought the mini album at the SATOYAMA event) was kind enough to upload "Seishun Manmannaka! (Second Take)"'s PV on YouTube yesterday!

Keep in mind this is Tsubaki's first PV ever, so I'm so happy to finally be seeing them in HQ form!


So, without further ado, let's begin the review!
