Otoko no Ko might be one of Berryz Kobo’s most aggressive songs to date. It blends in really well with the image they were using at the time so it makes sense that Tsunku would compose a song like this for them. There’s very heavy use of electric guitar, making the track a hardcore synth rock track with impressive and expressive vocals from the girls(I even liked how Yurina sounded). This is the type of sound I would like to hear more often from the girls, even though it is a bit messy. The transition from the calmer verses to the rushing chorus is an exciting bridge which I thought just did a great job with the song’s rockier sound. Well done Tsunku.
