Curaga: Let me put aside my aversion to scream vocals to get fully into this BOP :WAP:
D.D.D.: giving brat.
Kyle-x: Maybe would be better off some substances.
AMIT: we are going to pretend we didn't hear that.
Invisibility: Kinda just noise.
Deadlocked: Um...

The way all the UNICORN singles were trash other than Tōi Machi no Doko ka de... it was bad for her
