Great idea! I'm going to try to restrict my song list to just 10 (Pretty hard to do I have to say!):
1. Lemon Drop (My favourite song, Idoling!!! and beyong, at the moment. It's fun to see the girls messing around in the PV and it was just beyond cool to see a live band performance of this song by the girls themselves!)
2. I no Standard (live version of course. Still love the one-solo-line-per-girl gimmick)
3. Omoi no Uta (its live version with Koizumi, Endou and Etou singing and Kikuchi playing piano will always be the one that stick with me with regards to this song. That was one of the first Idoling!!! song I listene to also so extra special place in my heart!)
4. Shokugyou: Idol (Love the chorus. Really makes me want to jump along as well)
5. Kimi ga Suki
6. Kokuhaku
7. Sayonara Mata ne Daisuki
8. Hyakkaryouran Idoling!!! (used to be my favourite song. Still like it but it has fallen down th pecking order a little)
9. Bokura no Niwa (I love a good ballad and this one really gives me chill listening. The harmony is so great!!
10. Kishuhen Ecstasy (I just love this in the 6th live concert. Lots of energy, lots of fun)
Some comments:
- Really fun to read these comments on the song. Will be interesting to see what songs are the most beloved in this forum:)
- So far, Mujouken Koufuku and Kishuhen Ecstasy are the most mentioned (at 4 out of 5 users so far), followed by Sandome no Kinenbi, Poolside Daisakusen, Love Magic Fever and Omoi no Uta, all at 3. (I'm only including the songs on the list an excluding any 'special mention' ones). Energetic songs seem to dominate the top for now. Would really like to see if this holds after a few more posts...
- Still to listen to the two B-sides of Poolside Daisakusen. Good to see them making the list already and really looking forward to hearing them when my single arrives!
Also, another question I have recently been wondering. If you want to show someone a clip of an Idoling!!! perfomance or play them the music, which one would you go for? Which clip(s) really capture the essence of what Idoling!!! is all about? For me, it woul be, in this order:
1. Shokugyou Idol PV - Very energetic and I think it captures Idoling!!! very well. Besides, the lyrics are so funny (wish there is a subtitled version of this!)
2. Omoi no Uta 3rd live (same one I mentioned above) - show people they can sing. Besides, it's just a beautiful song:)
3. La La La La no Song 8th live - show the range of song the group is capable of pulling off
6. And finally Rurika has been replaced by Maipuru, but that makes me afraid of loosing her.
My feeling exactly. Hope the day does not come any time soon!
