From the coupling song "ROYAL" (IVE)
カップリング曲「ROYAL」から(IVE)
The skills that IVE has as a girls group and the individual charms of the members may be easier to understand in a simple but clear stage than in a well-crafted stage like "Love Dive".
You could say that coupling songs are for that purpose.
Even if they appear with a good song, there are many cases where you feel unsatisfied after listening to the coupling song, or conversely, feel like you've gained something.
"ROYAL" is the least impressive song out of the four songs that IVE has performed so far.
That's what you hear with your ears, but if you look closely at the stage, it's not so bad.
It's a perfect stage to observe the skills that each member has.
Including Lay and Gaul's raps, the coupling songs that are rarely heard are perfect to measure the members' singing ability, as was the case when they debuted.
Like "Take It," I had to listen to "ROYAL" several times before I could appreciate its quality.
With the help of the members' delicate singing voices...
"ROYAL" is more complicated than "Take It," so perhaps the members were required to show greater sensitivity in their singing and rapping.
B-side songs always have an aspect of experimentalness that leads to the next step.
This time, "ROYAL" also passes the test.
Lay and Gaul's raps may become even more appealing in the future.
