One of my favorites from MOSHIMO. There is also a faster paced song called Tsutta Sakana Ni Esa Yare whose MV references the last scene of this MV.

Definitely a bop! Turns out I had already given that video a like on YT. πŸ˜„

The other song is good too. Are all of their songs in this kind of harder, but fun, upbeat style?

Yes, that's mostly their style. But they also have a few slower songs like "15fun" (15εˆ†) from the "Attouteki Shoujo-Manga Story" (εœ§ε€’ηš„ε°‘ε₯³ζΌ«η”»γ‚ΉγƒˆγƒΌγƒͺγƒΌ) album, which I can't find on YouTube right now; I could swear they had a MV for that song.

Bilibili is I think the major video streaming site in China and a number of other east asian countries, basically their Youtube. It is "legit" in the sense that it's a major company and they also have official paid offerings e.g. for anime streaming. What it probably doesn't have compared to Youtube is an effective copyright strike system. Whether you think that's good or bad is up to you, but it's probably why the song is still available there and not on Youtube. :)

That song is also nice. But the singer doing it in the same high-pitched cheery voice was a bit incongruous for me. I was kind of hoping she could also pull off a deeper voice.

Thanks, that's interesting.

I know what you mean. When I heard MOSHIMO for the first time, I didn't like the singers high pitched voice. But I got used to it after some time. Sadly, there aren't many songs where she sings with a deeper voice.
