■ Appeal and evaluation of the work

"GO!GO!575" is a short but deeply moving work. In just four short episodes, it depicts the growth of the main characters and the bond of friendship. In particular, the concept of expressing daily life in the five-seven-five rhythm gives viewers a fresh feeling.

The main character, Masaoka Azuki, has a bright and positive personality and is a leader who leads those around her. Her drive and honesty inspire the viewer. Meanwhile, Kobayashi Matcha has an introverted and calm personality, and is the polar opposite of Azuki. Her poisonous behavior and unique worldview add depth to the work. Yosano Yuzuko is a caring older sister type and plays an important role in balancing the three.

The story woven by these three characters evokes the brilliance of youth and the warmth of friendship. In particular, the attempt to express small everyday events in the five-seven-five rhythm offers viewers a new perspective. For example, in episode 1, "Embrace this whole town," Azuki describes the townscape in five-seven-five, conveying its beauty to the viewers. In episode 4, "I want to convey it, carrying it in the words of the words," the three characters each express their own thoughts in five-seven-five, conveying the depth of their friendship.

The music also adds to the appeal of this work. The opening theme, "Kotoba Colorful," is a song that makes use of the five-seven-five rhythm and captures the hearts of viewers.
