One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
One and Only, the theme for JMelo. They will start performing it at their next concert (on the 11th).
Will also be the new theme song for JMelo as well.
As said elsewhere this was written by Tsunku with help from ALISA (she's the woman helping them in the video posted below.)
<a class="bbc_url" href="http://www.mediafire.com/watch/2pa10d8p ... >Here's</a> a pretty crap recording of One and Only from JMelo, audio only. It was played in the special but no video is up yet.
Go down to see the video.

This is a place where a signature goes. Enjoy some Airi instead.

I like what I'm hearing so far from that song. Its what I've always dreamed of. A jpop song (with a group I like) in english (good english).

Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
The english is surprisingly better than I expected. They have the pronunciation down fairly okay. I'm not really that impressed with the song though.

It still sounds kind of awkward but I still like it. I want to hear the whole thing now.

That "one and only girl~" part sounds so much like Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai...

The lyrics are awkward because there are so many better ways to phrase what they said in a nicer way. It sounds like someone with beginning English skills wrote it. Or someone who doesn't know how to write lyrics.

If this and Wakacchanai are paired with another song, this'll be a good single!

If they want to break through in the West they need to pick a better song. This one is mehtastically generic.

And there's this too. They started this trend of squeezing too many syllables in one line a while ago. It totally breaks the flow of the songs and sounds very awkward. It irritated me a lot in their Japanese songs, and it irritates me even more in English.
Good luck to them though.

Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
I must be bad bad bad for actually liking the song quite a bit, haha... It's got a fresh feeling to it that still seems to retain the spirit of Morning Musume. Personally I like the flow.... And yes, that totally sounded like Kimi no Kawari at that one part wtf XD
Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
I expected another Watsugozara Kamuza Land so I'm pleasantly surprised with their pronunciation, too bad the lyrics are so awkward.
Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
Considering Tsunku had two handicaps (language and voice) against him when creating this song, he did fairly well. I can here some song rehash but that might be intentional if this ends up going on their 60th single. Tsunku likes to do that with this group especially during anniversary singles.

Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
Yeah, they tried to fit too many syllables into parts where it just doesn't sound natural -- Miki's English verse in JKM had the same flaw.
HOLD UP! I'M A GEEK THE BIG PARADOX!
Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
^ this!
I'm impressed with their pronounciation, but not with the lyrics... And it's like What is Love and Kimi no Kawari ni mixed up together. Meh. :/

This song confirms the idea that I listen to JPop in part because I can't understand the lyrics.

Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
I really like it! I don't find the fast phrases awkward at all, so I've just never understood that complaint since Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa (which is funnily enough one of the few idol songs I actively seek out to listen to). I just don't get it, I guess, since I feel it livens up the music and provides the energy to the song that idols are usually trying to portray.
I just feel like nothing will sound fast to me unless we're talking System of a Down Chop Suey kind of lyric smashing. Also a fantastic song anyway.

I can't say I remember much of the song since I listened to that preview, but I recall liking it.

Ditto. But still, after a first listening, I like it a lot.
Hoping it will be either on their 60th single or opening song of their next album.
And this "Sing a song" part -> SONGS (one of my favorite album track). :D

Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
If this ends up on their 60th single, I wouldn't put it past Tsunku to throw in older material into a song and call it an "homage". Yeah... I TOTALLY meant to do that.

Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
I couldn't decypher the lyrics a few times, but this sounds legitimately good.
Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
If we are being honest, there is a good 50% that I can't hear as words but rather just sounds smashed together. I'm glad we got an English song but there are too many words in some places and they just fade together.

Because they don't stress enough words or because of what Saya pointed out ?

Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
Miki stands out soooo much in this song, haha... Though that's to be expected. Even if you can't "understand" parts of it, I really really like it.
Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
Some parts are good and some of the lyrics are just so awkward. I dunno.

Re: One and Only - JMelo English Song from MM'15
If we had the lyrics in front of us we would probably be able to understand what the more mumbled parts were. I still like the song and really want a PV or live performance to appear out of thin air.
