I totally expected Iku ZYX!, Gag 100, Moshimo, and PBJ Love to be on disc 1. I'm surprised by how many songs ended up on both disc 1 and 3 though.
 
But that disc 2... I'm excited, but it's every song CG has been performing in concerts AND THEN SOME. That with their A-sides COULD HAVE BEEN AN ALBUM. How long are we going to have to wait now?

Disc 1 is solo cover, so it's not unexpected to have doubles.

But I'm still disappointed they let that happen, it's the same songs at the end.


I'm also not particularly liking the cover.

Small update, according to cdjapan, Disc 1 is self-covers of choice of songs that Momoko was part in (Berryz, CG, Buono!, and shuffle units)
[/quote]
I pretty much expected that, but it would have been cool to see what other H!P songs Momochi likes enough to sing.

I feel like with 4 years of birthday events we sort of get an idea... A number of them turn out to be Berryz/Buono anyway. I always took her as the type that was into her own groups' music compared to other groups'. Though they're like the same 3-4 songs every time. So I dunno how much she likes other songs more than Berryz

Album was pushed back a week to 6/28 due to production issues - http://www.helloproject.com/news/7161/

Well now we know why all of the Country Girls songs were put on this instead of being their own album.

Listening to the Country Girls disc and I hear Manaka for some reason in these songs
 
(also can't tell if Kiss Yori was edited or not...I feel like it has, but I'm not quite sure).

My copy of this album arrived today and I listened to the disc with Momoko's solos. Frankly, I'm quite disappointed. She sounds great, to me, in concert solos or solo lines, but on this CD she sounds rushed, out-of-breath and somewhat tinny. I don't like the song choices either. I wanted slower, gentler songs, something more challenging to her, less "Momochi." I love the Zyx song, "Fly High," but it just doesn't work for her. The only three choices I really like are "Moshimo," "Hatsukoi Cider," and "Peanut Butter Jelly Love." What were the production conditions on this set of solos? Was it indeed rushed into production? Maybe she works best when other members are around her fueling her energy?
