Eh, I would be more invested in this if MY FIRST STORY didn't exist. Also, many Japanese see this change in sound to be more emblematic of their overall success ( + in the West.)  As for BMTH, that's what the band "Bad Omens" is for, lol. I get that there are differing perspectives & band loyalty, so I'm not trying to knock that, but there are always different options on the table imo. 

That being said, I'm not a huge fan of "anthemic" songs like this. 

yeah MY FIRST STORY has gotten better than OOK (although I do hate his English) 

I have a feeling that the same thing will happen to MFS eventually. 

If you're gonna go in a more poppy direction, at least be original about it. I have no problem with pop music as a whole, and even though I generally prefer rock, I've heard some pop/pop-rock songs that I genuinely love, but this is just the most over-produced, churned-out garbage they could have released. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but in the same way that crappy, generic rock sounds crappy and generic, so does crappy, generic pop. It's not that pop music is bad. It's that this is bad. The sooner the entertainment industry realises this, the better.
