01. Theme of 018This is the funkiest, greatest opening track for an album ever. Without being a "real song", it is definately something I want to listen to again. Great!
02. TAKE OFFThis song begins by continuing the funkiness of the previous track. The song sounds like it'd be great in karaoke, but I can't see any exciting choreography or anything for this.
03. Nai Yai YaiThis wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Kind of forgettable.
04. SimpleThis song has a very sweet sound to it. Very uplifting sound. I actually think this could have been used with a great PV.
05. paripia!This song is... wiiiierd.
At one point I felt like I was listening to SOUL'D OUT or m-flo, so I guess it isn't that bad. I feel this song will grow on me.
06. TriangleDidn't care much for this song when it came out as a single. Still don't care much for it.
07. モアイ (Moai)This song is sort of boring too.
The hawaiian twist makes me feel like the song is supposed to be called Maui.
08. Call Your Number It's hilarious to hear them say the numbers. However, it makes me feel like I'm listening to a children's song about counting. I don't think I'll ever be able to take this song seriously.
09. 星空の下で (Hoshizora no shita de)The song is neat, but it's a little too mellow for me.
10. だいじょうぶ (Daijoubu)This is like.. reggae... ska.. I don't know.
I can see this being a great energy song at concerts, but right now I don't know if it does enough for me.
11. STAYThis song is very boyband-ish. But it sounds good.. except for a couple solo lines by people who should
NEVER get solo lines!
12. Dear WOMANParts of this song I liked.. parts I didn't. I think I would have liked this song more if it were sung by a different group.
I actually never got around to listening to this song when it debuted as a single.
01. 女の子とLOVE SONG (Onna no ko to LOVE SONG)At first I went "Who is singing so high?!?!"
I don't know why, but I didn't expect a woman in the song.
The song was kind of boring, unfortunately. Imagine that... a boring seven minute and fourty-eight second song. :evil: The hard beat through the middle of the song was better, but the song is still wayyyyyy too long.
02. 君がいる (Kimi ga Iru)This song is sooooo painfully slow. If you want to do a ballad, do one with emotion. This was hell to listen to. I'm not exaggerating! This song gives the same sort of feeling as when you feel absolutely terrible and you try to fall asleep, but you can't because the conditions are just so terrible. So you're stuck between total exhaustion and the sickening conditions. To the point where you start to sweat, and you rock in place trying to comfort yourself.. but the hell goes on. And every second feels like an eternity.
That is
this song.
03. L-O-V-EI LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!This is a great cover!
I actually can see myself listening to this more.
Then Goro sings about himself.. rofl! It's great. I recommend this track on everyone for a good-hearted laugh!
04. TOKIOThis song is actually very, very good. It could be a single. Hopefully Suki* doesn't have time to play this on her show, because I wouldn't mind being the first to play it on mine tomorrow!
05. EverybodyThis is one of those tracks that I felt that I would have liked more if the guys were better singers.
The only parts I liked were the parts without SMAP.
Overall, at this point I'll give the album
9 / 17 Pairs of 3D Glasses!
It passes the test this time, though just barely. Hopefully repeated listening will bring the score up, rather than lower it!
