I feel like I would like them more if Saki and Yuuka were still here, even if they had new members.

Yeah. Same.

Am I the only person here who honestly likes Yuuka?

I need this album already. OR an Otona no Tochuu radio rip.



I swear, if that song lives up to it's live counterpart it'll easily be one of my favorite H!P songs ever.

Shin・Nippon no Susume! Radio Rip This must be the crazy song, because it sure is interesting. There's horns, guitars, big girl voices, and all sorts of stuff.

Shin Nippon Susume! Might be the only song I buy. It's so awesome!



I love the variation.

This had lots of potential but descended into too much randomness. Now if they cut about 1/3rd of styles and transitions and made it more coherent, this would be a strong candidate to the H!P's song of the year title.



Still, probably my favourite S/mileage song to date. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup:' /> The power metal parts made me think of MomoClo, and in a good way too.

It remined me of them too and the song on C-ute's last album: Zuntaka March.

Tsunku comments on songs and members, translated by H!O's Lurkette:



Track 1 "Shin Nippon no Susume"

It's a crazy song where both the tempo and pitch change in a single number. It was difficult at first with memorizing the demo track, but because the girls were able to fully memorize it for the finished track, recording it was very different from all the other songs. He thinks it's the perfect start to the album.

Track 3 "Otona no Tochuu"

It got everyone excited during the tour, but this time he wants us to pay attention to the finished product. It's just one segment on the way to adulthood. It's one scene of longing for love, so why are you in such a hurry. That sort of song. Using the song and speed, it makes your heart beat with all the coming and going feelings during the few minutes of the song.

Track 4 "Tenshinranman"

The song gives the feeling of being able to do anything because of the energy received from the first time being in love. It happens in a very small town, but the scale of the love is so great. It's like when you're eating okonomiyaki while asking "How much do you love me?" and answering "More than the universe."

Track 6 "Watashi no Kokoro"

It's a ballad. A young girl sings in suffering about the painful words said by a girl and boy unbecoming of their age. The members really had to grow to sing this sort of song. They're not just cute, but also skilled in breathing and intervals and such. It's a song packed between the lines and it makes your chest to tighten all the more.

Track 7 "Yuugure Koi no Jikan"

From the song and something else it really gives the feeling of "Evening." The day you invite him to your house. Mama isn't home... A girl with superficial knowledge about intimacy is tidying up her room while all sorts of wild ideas about this and that come into her head. It's a song that continues like turning through pages 1 to 3. She brings him to her house in the end, right?

Track 8 "Nee Senpai"

It fires off strong words in succession, but it's also a very pure song. You can feel the resolution of a girl questioning where her senpai leaves off. He thinks it's a very handsome song when completed. He trusts it's a very stimulating song in the album as well as on tour.

Track 9 "Sayonara Sayonara Sayonara"

A high level of singing skill is demanded for this shuffle song. Even so, it seems brilliantly and surprisingly simple in the rhythm. The final scene of a romance. A boy is shooting off some of his resentments here. Please enjoy this fighting scene!





This album is the construction of the singing of all the members of present S/mileage.

Wada has really grown as leader. She's become a fine adult. Before, he wanted her to be more active as leader, but he also wants her to grow her own personal characteristics. There are a lot of airheads in S/mileage, but he wants to bring her own elegant sort of airheadedness to the front.



Fukuda is becoming a college student, and he thinks she's become all the more rejuvenated and fresh. It's great that she's facing the front with a pure sort of feeling lately. He wants to entrust a lot of things to her from now on. She's grown tremendously since she was small, but now she looks like an innocent high school girl.



Katsuta is a girl who's inconsistent with how photogenic she is. Because of that, he's surprised every once in a while by how photogenic she is and the times when she smiles with all of her heart. And that's not just in photos, but also in recording and MCs. She might actually be a home run batter, so he wants her to always swing with full force.



Tamura's wild side is sometimes very quiet and composed. Her limbs have always been long, and if she could silently adjust her features, she could appear as something like a model. Even so, there's still a switch inside of her that makes her really, really noisy. But that's what's so lovely and charming about her. He looks forward to working with the part of S/mileage that is the "life."



Takeuchi has become very sensuous. She has been setting out on a boyish direction with her hair and styling, but what's interesting is she can put her girl face forward as much as possible. First-time fans will see her short cut and think that she's a boyish sort of girl, but regular fans have noticed that hidden part of her.



Nakanishi, much like Tamura, has a switch that when flipped makes her extremely noisy, like a broken toy, but when she's silent she's like the daughter of a high-class family. No one would suspect she's actually a future Osaka granny. He thinks that if she grows her bangs out, he'll be able to produce a completely different Nakanishi. Look forward to it!









Was that Rina comment about how photogenic she is shade? Because it felt like shade.

That's the best part about it for me! I'm so happy I can actually look forward to a S/mileage release for the first time in a long time, and everything so far is spot on! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup:' />

I'm definitely buying this. I love or like every song I've heard. I'm curious about Sayonara Sayonara Sayonara. We've gotten two intense/upbeat/dance-y songs (Nee Senpai, Otono no Tochuu), two happy/genki/cute songs (Tenshinranman, Yuugure Koi no Jikan), one ballad (Watashi no Kokoro), and one, um, crazy song (Shin・Nippon no Susume!). I wonder what kind of song it will be.

Well it's crazy or ballad. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /crazy.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':crazy:' /> I'm going for ballad though because a song named "Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye" can't be something too happy.
