Okay, so is this basically The Best Updated part 2? I wonder if they will be changing the songs (new beats, techno, etc) or just having the current girls sing them. I've been dying to hear some platinum songs, so I'm pretty psyched. The fact they have Tomo and Egao ni Namida makes me worried, though.... Better not be any grad events coming up that they can conveniently use the songs from this album for... lol... (35% kidding)
 
 

[Anderei]

It's not updated versions at all. It's just a compilation of the b-sides they've released since the last b-side album.

[TicTacAnyone]

Okay, so, it's the original songs? Sorry for my rant then! Q_Q

Too bad I am tapped out right now.  Maybe I should not say this, but I still haven't memorized some of the new members names yet.

Big covers.

Them covers are amazing.  Sakura is killing it.

[yuzuriha]

Sakura IS killing it but Zukki warped back to the 80s.  Which usually is a good thing but not when it is just one out of ten. o_O  And did Kudou grow a foot or something?  (I realize that outfit is just elongating her body but she looks like she could play Sailor Uranus in SeraMyu all of a sudden).

[Anderei]

I don't like Riho or Haruka's photos in the close up version. Both of their styling makes them look way older in a bad way.

[Kalle]

... I thought Kare to Issho ni was an A-side, though? How come that counts as a B-side and not The Matenrou Show ( which really didn't deserve to be double A-side material IMO )

[Derby]

God... Mizuki

Some people are saying that Sayumi mentioned Kare to Issho was changed back to a b-side just shortly before release. But the PV had already been shot by then.

[arcobaleno]

Everyone looks so amazing. Even with Zukki kinda standing out in a bad way (just 'cause she doesn't match), that style suits her pretty well.
 
It's just... wow. Hopefully the covers for the next single will be this good, because damn. Just.
 

[Anderei]

lol I get what they were going for with Kanon's, and even though it looks weird as hell from the neck down, I do like what they did with her hair.

[JPope]

I like the concept of the cover with the individual photos, but most of the photos are just meh. The group shot includes a lot of forced, awkward poses. I'm not a big fan of a lot of these outfits, either.
 
Sakura looks amazing in both, though. 

[MejraThea]

I have to get the Limited Edition.    But sadly was not aware I had to, and now the posters are all gone.... (sob)

[Pucchi-Mo]

  (for once)
 
Man, disc 2 came from only 4 singles, and they didn't even all fit because Seishun Domannaka is on the 1st disc. We were so spoiled...
 

[momoirosaya]

They already put Kare to Issho on 12 Smart, so it's kind of unnecessary to put it here.

Loving the covers though.

Takahashi's solo screwed it up because they would have had to consider her version a separate single because the track list was different or something like that.

[TicTacAnyone]

The girls look FIERCE as all get out in those photos.
Minus Kanon.
Why don't they know how to style Kanon.
I don't understand. It's not that hard.
All they had to do was stick her in an outfit similar to Erina...

[Solarblade]

I think I'm more surprised they decided to include Kura Zushi Bikkurapon! more than anything..randomness.

I guess they didn't think it would fit anywhere else or wanted to give people more incentive to buy. Especially since any hardcore fan will probably have all of disc 2 and most casuals aren't going to bother with a b-side album.

[pandapanda]

Those posters are amazing.  Why is this cover not for something important?!?!

[Shoujo Q]

I just ordered the album on HMV. That poster is amazing. Too bad it'll be folded when I get it. :<

[Haru]

God damn, I love the posters. Such a shame Kanon is a hot mess.

[Shoujo Q]

She's not a hot mess, she's clearly gone full 80s, you never go full 80s. 

[Anderei]

She's one cowboy hat away from a western photoshoot. I don't know it was intentional but that was the result. I don't think its bad, she's just out of place style-wise.


Hair works on her though.

[momoirosaya]

I think it's the hair that ruins it.

[arcobaleno]

 
ERIPON.
 
JUST.
