chuwap (Chuwapane!)If there's a magical-girls franchise bolstering the highest perma-deletion rate in Taiko that doesn't start with "P" and end with "reCure", that dubious merit is all owed to the Girls x Heroine franchise, with two songs getting released on Nijiiro Version's launch year and both of them dying at different points, never to be reprinted again. We've already taken a gander at the first one of the couple, so why don't we double-dip today?
The third of the G x H series is Secret x Heroine Phantomirage!, named after the eponymous magical girl band of phantom thieves, fighting to change the ways of people who got corrupted by the mysterious Revers Police into "Ikenaiders", evil counterparts to one's regular selves. This is not the first time I get to talk about heart-changing phantom thieves around here, but the tables are turned as while one band "kills" (other gachas via collaborations), the other one is seemingly killed in Taiko grounds! Chuwapane is the third opening theme of the 64-episodes-spanning Phantomirage series -originally aired from April 2019 to June 2020- but rather than featuring the season's idols/actresses Mirage², this was one of the themes to be performed by the conglomerate-acts ensemble Girls², which features every single protagonist across the Girls x Heroine franchise, this far in time! The composition of the songs are handled by the nicknamed TETTA and NIWA, with the latter being also Chuwapane's lyricist and the former... not calling back to anything in my trivia/search-riddled mind other than the Italian word for 'boob', so let's stop things here before they get too steamy!
It's another "nothing much to write home about" on charting department for the second 5* song among GxH themes, other than the fact that we arguably got an easier-side song for the rating when compared to the previous Mirumiru ~Mirai Mieru~ due to the lesser number of clusters (and mono-colored, at that!).
