This is High and Mighty Color’s first PV with new vocalist HALCA. The song is from their upcoming album Swamp Man. The wait has been long and that usually means that expectations have had time to build up.
I must say that I’m a bit disappointed with the PV, the song and HALCA’s performance. So, if you have high expectations, you might want to lower them a notch before watching the video.

The video is basically just a shaky camera and I feel that it doesn’t “show off” HALCA like I would have expected for her PV debut. Maki was always the center of attention in the previous videos. Maki also looked “fresher”.
The song is “fine”, but not quite what I was hoping for.
I was hoping that I could just accept HALCA and think of it as a new band, but it’s hard not to compare her with Maki. I still have hopes for the band. They could do with a new hit though.

I love the new song it ROCKS!! The PV is okay not too bad can’t wait for the new album ^^

disagree!
I loved the band especially for their faster songs.
This one is really what I expected. Of course Halca is not Maki, but it so far it seems to be a good choice.
I really liked “ichirin no hana” and “pride” and so on… I think they’re going in the right direction.

I agree with Mazz
The style of HandMC is much suited for the voice quality of Halca rather than Maaki, I’m not saying that I don’t love Maaki cause I’m totally in love with her, but really this transition would prove to be for the embetterment of HandMC!!
GO HANDMC!!!

I’ve listened to Swamp Man a few times (it was leaked a couple of weeks ago) and this song gets a little better after a few listens without seeing the video. I’m not sold on this yet, though.

2010-12-13 (Mon) 13:35
Awww it still doesnt work… *sigh* and i so wanted to compare Maki to Halca T_T
2010-12-13 (Mon) 14:07
Yay! It works now! Thx (if ever u did something)
Time to humiliate Halca :K
Lol, just kidding, she’s great actually, specially in XYZ. But she just doesnt have the same skills as Maki who could vary her tones and smile while singing
2010-12-13 (Mon) 18:19
Yup, the site was down for a little while (like you already know).
I never learned to like Halca. I agree about XYZ. I think it’s the best post-Maki song. Halca is a good enough singer, but it was a big change of H&MC’s “look & feel”. My favourite thing about H&MC was Maki…
2010-12-14 (Tue) 15:10
Yeah me too. After she left, the band looked less “alive” and was starting to sink already
…Until they broke up T_T But anyway, if they hadnt done so, I wouldnt be of much fan of H&MC as before since Maki left
