長谷部優の卒業の調べ

Most of you who read this blog probably don’t care. Those of you who do care probably already know.

Basically, today on Friday, August 1st, DRM officially became dream – no, wait, Dream – again. (Really, avex, what’s with the name changes anyways?) Obviously, we don’t get out of it unscathed, because with the capital letter we lose Hasebe Yu. (To be honest though, she was never my favorite member of the group, and only got anywhere on member rankings because I couldn’t distinguish – and still can’t – between 8/7-nin dream’s individual girls.)

This doesn’t really hurt me, as if you couldn’t tell from that in-parentheses aside up there, other than having me wonder when Tachibana Kana will finally debut with a breakout hit that will have avex executives ruing the day they left her to rot in futsal, but I figured it provided a good excuse to finally review their last non-digital single for the past three years, as well as the single that stuck me with some small interest in the dream expansion pack (that is, the other 5 members), そよ風の調べ/STORY.
