Not bad, good song.

Line distribution was a bit iffy, girls were featured a lot more than the guys, but they sort of made up for it after the bridge.

I'm curious to see how they continue to develop.

I dont have a very good feeling about this group, the girls kinda on the older side, which is not a problem for me, i prefer older idols, but younger groups usually do better, also the guys kinda lacking on the looks department, tho one of em is ok'ish, which isnt a good thing since most coed groups fanbases are female, good thing is maybe the female fans wont mind the girls being older, also the girls are really pretty, anyways we'll see how it goes
