I think this would have been a fine song for Yuko Nakazawa. Aibon just seems to be missing something to pull this off.

I'll be cool with this so long as Tanpopo gets strong members and good music. Both groups underwent such major overhauls before their demise that I can't get too worked up over their return with all new members. I wonder if bringing back these two brands will motivate Tsunku to produce a higher qual...

Seriously, Takahashi has to be in Tanpopo. Right? It's really the only no-brainer decision once you decide to resurrect the group. Unless they're just going to completely disassociate the new group from the original.

Gehy. I hope the group is better than their name.

I love the outfits, but I grew up in the 80s. I like the song more having heard it in full. The chorus is really catchy.

Yeah, it is. But only when Air Band sings it.

The Air Band version is pretty good. The song just doesn't suit Yaguchi, though. Bummer.

Pretty good album. I was expecting shit, and I'm happily surprised to be wrong. I dig the ersatz reggaeton of "Take Off Is Now!". "Songs" is sweet, to the point where I don't mind the excessive auto-tune. "It's You" would've been totally bad ass if someone who can actua...
