This is a really solid album and the tracks work well together.
When I feel that something in H!P is really amazing, I often say the songs were meant for TNX. This is one of those times. Funny that I just removed a THE Possible album to make room for this on my phone. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />
1. Icchoume Rock!
I like the echoing of the HAPPINESS!/ENDOLESS! line & the AHHHHHHHHH WO WO WO~! It's just a genuinely fun, headbanging H!P rock song. + for the phrase "DO IT NOW"
2. Heroine ni Narou ka!
This is really a good year for Berryz. They released this single and the album in March and didn't have to reschedule either, unlike the rest of Japan's music industry. Plus they're coming to perform in the USA. I love this song.
3. BOMB BOMB JUMP
I love this retro beachy sound, it was the last thing I expected from the title. Most songs with this sound are instant wins for me. Extra points for the background chorus lines. Love the intro part with the filtered vocals. I can't actually identify if that's like an old clip from something or one of the girls.
4. Masshiroi Ano Kumo
Now getting to the first slow song on a very energetic album. Usually an obstacle, but it's a pleasant break, and just a very sweet song. Starting with headbanging songs and now this is the head swaying song.
5. Maji Bomber!!
Back to the energy, once again, a sucker for the chorus repeating the lines. The guitar solo is fun also. The song is filled with a satisfying amount of changes throughout.
6. Joshikai The Night
YES! The weird synthy dance track with whisper parts. It's like a creepy Dekoboko Seventeen mixed with the feeling of a "desert level" in a video game (That sort of "Arabian" sound which Berryz often had in their early songs) Nice guitar solo again. CRAZY! CRAZY NIGHT! *stop looping this, you have an album to review*
7. Girls Times
Back to another retro song, with a sort of jazzy, or almost Elvis-like twist this time. Still stamped with H!P's cheerful YAYs! not totally serious and cool. I like how the ending slows down.
8. Onna no Pride
EE JUMP came to mind instantly, Hello! Atarashii Watashi. The obligatory cool R&B song. I really like the melody of the chorus verses and the piano. I don't like the low voice YE~UH. Learn to edit.
9. Shining Power!
What did I say before about choruses repeating the lines? "Akogare no kimi no koe!" I think of Ongaku Gatas + Yah!Aishitai from Best! Morning Musume 2. Gotta love the goofy, cartoonish gunshot effect.
10. Magical Future!
100% honest, I was sad that there was only one song left. What's that, you have another weird synthy dance track for me? Thank you! The vocal clips in the intro/between verses are cool. Love the falsetto on FUTURE in the chorus, and the melody in general. This song kind of combines the previous sounds found on this album, there's a bit of retro sound, some rocking, and of course weird creepy synth. The ending is great.
Top tracks: Joshikai The Night, BOMB BOMB JUMP & Magical Future!
For me, this is more solid than most H!P albums in recent years. It just keeps a certain mood throughout and never really drags down. It kind of sticks to what it's doing well, and it gets better at it as it goes along. I can't think of another album that uses titles with so many exclamation points, but it's very fitting for this one.
Even if you aren't crazy about Berryz (like I wasn't for many years), I say check this album out. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
