Great album, every song has its "thing" that draws you to it. I'm not very good at disecting and analyzing something that is meant to be enjoyed, so I can't use words other than "I like it" or "I don't like it", and since I am not an expert songwriter, I don't even see the point of going to analize it really, I just enjoy it (some songs more than others, but that's normal)....

I noticed Miki's harmonies(and someone else I can' make out) in Yossi's solo song... My favorite part of the song >_>

yep i definitely agree with ya there, reyfer...like for instance...Haru Beautiful Everyday...i don't like songs like that normally...but it grabbed me...maybe some kind of nostalgic thing or something, but it stuck with me and its one of my fave tracks haha.

Pretty good album.

psymon · « **Reply #267 on:** March 21, 2007, 04:31:14 PM »

Too bad... Genki+ is the only one i like

I think Rainbow 7 will be the last MM Album i bought.. :ksad:

greah · « **Reply #268 on:** March 21, 2007, 04:38:57 PM »

You're right. from new songs there's only one good on this album and it is Genki+

num2son · « **Reply #269 on:** March 21, 2007, 04:50:23 PM »

Why did they put Ambitious and Sexy boy on the album?

greah · « **Reply #270 on:** March 21, 2007, 05:02:28 PM »

from the same reason for which they put Aruiteru and Egao YES Nude - normal publishing cycle. first few singles and then album which is a compilation of previous releases

Ah, Mr. Children? Their songs are great and their albums sold hundreds of millions, so 3rd spot is good!

after a first listen i don't like the album....7th rainbow was better imo
the new songs sound kinda rushed composition and arrangement wise.
But for collector's sake of MM albums , i'm going to get the regular version.
maybe tsunku should step aside for their next album, because i very enjoyed koharu's and nacci's latest album

Don't have much time on analysing each song, so I'll just comment on highlights:

Genki+ is the perfect, more than perfect opening for a meccha anime. Or even a sentai. The first mental image I had was that Robots Festival

Shamuni Paradise is so Chu! Natsu Party, so idol type. Even Miki adapted her voice to that song

. Could have been a debut song for Hinoi Team @____@

Unfortunately (?), Haru Beautiful Everyday didn't come in the .zip I downloaded, I can't comment about it. But overall, it's a good album, it gets 3 stars (out of 5 lol) from me. The pinku song didn't kill it, unlike Rainbow 7. Props to everyone, Morning Musume is giving me again the image of a group.

HBE is the new IBL! Genki+ is awsome. And I like Mirai no Taiyou aswell. But yes, R7 was better.

Thank you for saying that! I got bored thinking I was the only one.

Absolutely nothing is sexy about the album. Miki mentioned during an MC that all of the songs were for the "younger" ones, and she's damn right.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised with this album..

1. I like it much better than Rainbow 7
2. I hated egao yes nude, so I hoped the rest of the album would have a different vibe and imo it does.

After a few more listens I think I'll be able to pick some favorites.

The second day in the daily rankings sees a drop to 6th place.

It is internet pre-orders and fans buying the album on the first day that causes the high first day rank and a fall in ranks is to be expected. In the weekly ranking the album may yet be in the top 5 because the sales on the first day are (much) higher than on subsequent days.

I LOVE Shanimuni Paradise! That one & Genki+ are the only ones that made it into my iPod. (

:p) Hmm, what else to write... BE Positive is a nice song and all but not enough jumpy for my style, but I think if I just give it a few more chances it will fall into my iPod within time, almost same goes for Mirai no Taiyou.

Anyone know why Aruiteru is called Aruiteru (ALBUM EDIT)? It's not a mix and for what I can hear it's not re-recorded with mitsui... Any ideas?
