01. Nagisa no Sinbad 6/10
While moments of greatness do occurs during this opening song(think “anata wa sexy” parts), most of the time this song just seems so unimpressive in many ways. The vocals all around aren’t the best from any member, even Ai-chan. Though Risa’s low range is pretty impressive.This may be something that will be better live, but I’ll have to wait and see.
02.Dou ni Tomaranai 8/10
This song is much better than the first one, even Sayu sounds agreeable which is a great improvment from the the first one. The track itself suits MM’s style very well, in my opinion. The only thing that really ruined it for me was the weird music breaks all over…
03. Izakaya 9/10
The best way to describe this song is slow and sweet. Ai-chan was wonderful, her vocals sound really refined and she blends with Itsuki Hiroshi (the male vocalist) very well. A great Ballad for the middle of the album…works really well.
04. Pepper Keibu (Album Version) 10/10
I’m gonna skip this one as I reviewed the single below…
05. Shiroi Chou no Samba 10/10
Another great song that has just the right blend of sweet and happy. Lin-Lin and Jun-Jun sound fanstatic on this track which is something I thought I’d never say about those two. In this past year and a half since they’ve joined they really just made me love them even more. This is a great song to follow the previous ballad. Has to be my favorite off this album.
06. Seishun Jidai 9.5/10
What an opening statement this song has! The vocals in tis song seem to have some of the most emotion I’ve heard in MM for a while. It really was a great track for everyone. Everyone’s solos went really well. Reina really didn’t bug me at all in this song. I really jsut feel most of the time she tries too hard and in this one it seems she was just letting loose a little…
07.Ringo Satsujin Jiken 7/10
Wonderful Tropical feeling in this song. It also shows a lot of variety in the girls’s vocal styles. The only problem that I really have with this song is the “funi” parts. Also after a while it begins to get a little too repetive for me and I loose interest. Also Sayu suddenly got worse from the last couple of songs…
08. Romance (Album Version) 9/10
This is another i’m going to skip because of the review of PK single below…
09. Machi no Akari 8/10
Not the kind of song that immedently makes you fall in love with it but after a few listens you learn to love it. The vocals in this song are very silky from both Ai-chan and Gaki-san. They really prove that they are the best this group has to offer. The entire 5th Gen was absolutely amazing…
10. Koi no Dial 6700 10/10
I like the party-feel of this track. It is really upbeat and fun to listen to.LinLin once again does a wonderful job. I really think that she will move up on my rankings after this album. Wow…even Koharu blends with the rest of the group. One I would love to see live.
11. Pin Pon Pan Taisou 9/10
I love the music entrance in this song, very charismatic and fun. The perfect track to follow Koi no Dial 6670. It sounds a lot like an anime song. The only annoying part is the counting and talking towards the middle. Koaru is the lead in this song and it really suits her well. Not my favorite but close enough…
12. Watashi no Aoi Tori 10/10
This song is very sweet and fluffy, like cloud pudding. I love the fact that it feels as if everyone is wispering their lines right in your ears. A great way to follow all those hyper songs before it. I really thing that this is one of the better ballads on the album. Sayu once again is very pleaseable…I really enjoyed this song immensely.
13.Johnnie e no Dengon 10+/10
A Gaki-san solo almost. It really suits her range quite well. Her voice sounds very full and sweet all at the same time. It really proves that she deserves to be solo. I would love to see her with a few more solos in the future.
14.UFO /10
A great ending track, all in all. Very upbeat compared to the last few which were a lot slower. I really loved the way the voices blended in this track. Although the Chorus really lacked something for me…
Overall 9.2/10
Wow! This has to have some of the best songs from this lineup. Lin Lin, JUn Jun, and Sayu has ceased to annoy me, Reina stopped trying so hard to be amazing, and Koharu moved up my list. It is a great cd with some amazing vocals. I love how this cd features the little people in MM, though I would have liked to hear Eri or Aika both of which are completely hidden…
