<div> </div>
<div>Can "Memory Seishun no Hikari" continue its unlikely romp to the top, or will the Rokkies' debut single finally bring it down? It's up to you to decide!</div>

Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
As much as I love Shabondama, I must say Namida ni wa shitakunai is a weak b-side to me ; especially against Never Forget and Happy night (couldn't make my choice only going by a-sides so b-sides were decisive).
Campy <3 !
Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
Happy Night is so much better than Namida ni wa shitakunai.
It comes down to the B-Sides for this vote. And I chose you Memory Seishun no Hikari!
Never Forget also helps. (It helps a lot.) That entire single has stood the test of time for me.

This is a place where a signature goes. Enjoy some Airi instead.
Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
Looking like this is gonna be a close vote.

I did this a lot through the previous rounds.
I used Airi versions of both songs to decide Both songs are in my top 5 though.

Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
B-sides...? I thought this was about the actual single songs?

Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
This is hard.
While I probably prefer Shabondama in every concert over Memory Seishun no Hikari (well, except for an OG concert maybe, because regarding that DMM concert they didn't do too well with Shabondama), Memory is the better song in my opinion. The slow sax, the harmonies, the somewhat whiny singing (but in a good way for once). Shabondama on the other hand is pure power, better for concerts with younger members who don't know the best singing techniques yet.
That being said, if we regard b-sides then it's an easy win for Memory.

Pretty sure it was a tournament between singles as a whole.

Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
I just voted based on A-sides anyway. To me that's the only thing that matters. B-sides are just a bonus.

I don't even know most of the B-sides, so my votes wouldn't have changed.

I know, same here. I think this is the difference between people who buy the singles and the people who don't.
My vote goes to Memory, based on A-side alone.

Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
Hey, you just get to say it first because I'm quiet. :P
Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
I'm really having a tough time on this one because I can't decide how I'd rather vote - I think Shabondama is more iconic and kind of represents the overall spirit of MM as a group more, but I prefer Memory Seishun no Hikari as a song (not to imply I don't also like Shabondama as a song, but it's a song I have to be in the mood for). I'm really going to have to think about this one because it could easily go either way for me.
Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
I like both songs equally but went with Memory simply because of Reina. I am so petyy.

Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
I don't know how you can dislike Shabondama Reina. I feel like she was a better singer then. At least not squeaky. And her persona was less exaggerated too. I wish she stayed like that.
I voted Shabondama. I think they are equal in quality, well Memory might be even better. But at the end of the day, I rather listen to Shabondama.

Congratulations to SHABONDAMA, your MM-BBS MARCH MUSUME MADNESS CHAMPION!
The final tally was 23-19. Memory kept it close, but could never get over the hump.

Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - FINAL ROUND
The famous MM-BBS Shabondama Karaoke just won't stop playing in my head now.
Anyone got a link to it for all the newbies who missed out on the greatness?

I think I have it somewhere if no one else does. Have to do some digging to find it though.
EDIT: I can do one better actually! Here's the thread you can find a link to it in (and a bunch of other songs too!)

This one's great too, but not the one I had in mind, oh no.
I know Berry has it on her playlist at home, hope she helps out when she's get back.
