The cover is awesome!!
You girls have very very pretty voices. I wish I could sing like you girls :uh..:
And it's your first time doing a video like this right? ^^ The drawing is really good! I like them!

I hope you don't take it as an attack or so, but I have some few things regarding the vocal mixing and video making.

vocals: it's just my preference

You have really good voices, try not to use autotune/antares/pitchshifting whatever. Not that I don't like AT it's just a whole song (or this song) with AT is a little too much (for me only Vocaloids or Touhou songs can be a whole-AT-song xDD it's just my preference)


video:
something like 0:25-0:46 or 1:36-1:58 or 2:10 is really good
for the part before the refrain and the refrain itself, try not to use to fast pops in/out, 3:43 onwards is a really fast changing of pictures
I know it's really hard to not to change picture to fast because FJ has really many layered voices, but you can use opacity ^^
example: main vocals opacity 100% and background opacity 50%, not singing opacity 0% of course xD or if you want to show everybody, no singing 40%, background 70%, main 100%, play with the settings ^^

example for the fast changing pictures parts
3:43
Rin then mis, right?
1) rin is moving from the middle (left to right)
2) then rin pops out immediately
3) mis pops in in the middle of the picture.

Try something like this:
1) rin is moving from left to right, (fade her out)
2) position where rin pops out pops in (or fade in) mis
3) let her move from right to left.

or or etc.
the eyes of a viewer is following rin and he/she has the feeling that the picture is moving further to the right, but mis just pops in in the middle where the viewer doesn't expect that somebody will pop up. I hope you understand what I mean. Try to make a flow/balance ^^

So I think I'm writing too much xD I hope that you don't hate me for this. I know making a video is a hell of work (that's why I dislike to make them xD), it's just my advice for you if you want to make more videos ^^
Skill comes with practice. :dote:
