W is my fav h!p group, I have always loved them. Nono and Aibon were my favs befored I even knew they have their own group.
Their music is soo cute. I haven't like MM's music so much, but W's music is great!
My room is full of W-pics, they're cutiest girls ever<3
My fav song from they is Matsu wa. The PV is also gorgeous.

I could use years to speak about W<3

Word. I can't "Ai no Imi wo Oshete" outta my head now. The Utaban set was ridiculous!!

Most innovative type set I've ever seen. The whole walk in the hall thing. Go grab it off Casper's Tracker or Hello Tracker (props to marimari)

The Musical is that far from being released? :/ Hmm.. I wonder how such a clean version was uploaded already then? I had fully enjoyed the musical several days ago.

Anyways, the single is great, but I really can't feel this choreography. It seems kind of weak compared to some of the great stuff from Koi no Fuga and Robo Kiss. The songs are enjoyable though, especially Jinx. Lovin' it!

Ayumi_85 · « **Reply #5 on:** May 27, 2005, 09:54:36 AM »

I like very much their new single but I prefer Robo Kiss

My personal ranking of singles is this:

Robo Kiss (great single and great c/w)

Ai no Kimi wo Oshiete!

Aa ii Na!

Koi no Vacance

Koi no Fuga

What about you? what's your own personal ranking of W singles?

Chatin · « **Reply #6 on:** May 27, 2005, 10:09:15 AM »

Hmm.. my ranking would be...

1. Robo Kiss
2. Ai no Kimi wo Oshiete!
3. Koi no Fuga
4. Aa Ii Na!
5. Koi no Vacance

... actually, apart from Robo Kiss, I feel all the singles are actually on an equal playing field in my heart.

tivx · « **Reply #7 on:** May 27, 2005, 10:43:51 AM »

hmmm my list would be

1. Ai no Kimi wo Oshiete
2. Sabishii Nettaigyo
3. Robo Kiss
4. Aa Ii Na! = Koi no Vacance
5. Jinx (just cause i haven't really listened to it yet, but i liked what i heard)

tamatron · « **Reply #8 on:** May 27, 2005, 10:49:53 AM »

Yay! W thread!!

My ranking:

1. Koi no Vacance
2. Robo Kiss
3. Aa! Ii na
4. Ai no Imi wo Oshiete!
5. Koi no Fugue

Thanks, Masa.

ctz · « **Reply #11 on:** May 27, 2005, 01:42:22 PM »

I'm kind of surprised after seeing the sales chart that Masa posted. I think W's own style is much better than the first single and album, which were covers. But maybe it's not the case for japanese single-buyers.

galaksi · « **Reply #12 on:** May 27, 2005, 01:47:12 PM »

Hmm, my list

1. Matsu wa
2. Decoboco Seventeen
3. Sentimental Boy
4. 7gatsu no natsu
5. Koi no fuga

I hope their rankings well be better in future ;_; IMO they're much better than morning musume, for example

Ayabie · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2005, 05:07:15 PM »

U&U!! It's mandatory for me to like them, since I'm a partial Aibon fanboy.

Damn, it's sad to see their sales are dropping since Aa Ii Na... I hope they'll get back up soon enough and surpass their current record. Aibon and Nono is love.

Favorite songs at the moment would probably be...

#1. Samidare Koi Uta
#2. Matsu wa
#3. Ai no Imi wo Oshiete!
#4. Koi no Vacance
#5. 18 ~My Happy Birthday Comes!~

I'm one of the people who thought W's first two singles were strong, but their last 3 haven't been as good. At least Berryz's sales are improving?

I agree with you, except for Robo Kiss. Koi no Fugue isn't originally a bad song, but this W version is done halfass, and Ai Imi annoys me.

Kenji · « **Reply #16 on:** May 27, 2005, 09:57:40 PM »

Yeah, I take that back...Robo Kiss was pretty good too.

boykun · « **Reply #17 on:** May 27, 2005, 10:27:57 PM »

favorite songs hmm

01 ROBOKISS
02 Ai no Imi wo Oshiete
03 Give Me Up
04 SEXY SNOW
05 Oatsuraemuki no Destiny

I guess the novelty factor is wearing off.

W needs to decide on their marketing approach. They can either be the cutesy Mini Moni2 they are in half the songs, or the sexy Tatu2 they are in the other half. Switching between the two is just confusing.

Robokiss is my fav W song, so cute.

no Tatu2, please NOOOO. They're cute girls who're just friends! And any of their kisses have been just cute friendly kisses. They're not any tatu-like, noooo. Just cute.
