I haven't yet heard it completely yet, I tend to think I will agree with jariten at halcali.blogspot.com.

It seems like it's another "Tip Taps Tip" and doesn't use the girls' rap skills. I cross my fingers that the B-side will be better.
Otherwise I liked "Twinkle Star" and I'm very hopeful that their next album will be great. FPM is also helping out.

Well they do rap in the full version, it's just not that interesting musically or lyrically.

It's not as bad as I was first afraid it would be, I think I like it better than "Tip Taps Tip".

I love it.
I hated Tip Taps Tip.

I like Look. Extremely nice *flow* in melody and relaxed mood, I also like both the lyrics and the expression, the rhythm has a good beat yet still in a very calming way. This eased rap/hiphop should be their style of choice, I think.
And most importantly, it is ideal for the Ending 2 song of PPG Z. ;)
