<br />
Here are my predictions for each semi-final's qualifiers...and non qualifiers. In order of how I think they'll place, to make it extra difficult for me. Also, this is my <i>objective prediction</i>, not my top, not my opinion. Keep that in mind.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Semi-Final One</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <b>Belgium</b> - Blanche's song is easily-digestible indie pop for the non-indie. Europe just wants to hear a fun, cool song, so the fact that it's a plagiarism will most likely be disregarded by the public, while juries will commend the song's radio-friendliness. Currently, this song is second to Italy in betting odds, and it makes sense. I think it'll fit snugly in the first place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. <b>Sweden</b> - It's Sweden. No matter how terrible the song is (and in this case, it's terrible), Sweden will finish at the top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. <b>Portugal</b> - One of the biggest dark horses this year, and also the most polarizable entry of them all, Portugal will find comfort in around third place. It will touch the heart of many, but will anger pop music fans. Juries will eat it up like dessert.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. <b>Azerbaijan </b>- It's cool, modern, and a sure qualifier. It will finish around the middle in the semi-final, and get a good place in the final.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <b>Greece </b>- No matter how much I would love for this song to not qualify, the Greek diaspora will vote for it, just as pop music fans who like a pretty face and a good beat will. The juries might punish it a bit, although it will certainly get 12 points from Cyprus's jury.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. <b>Armenia</b> - We don't know the song yet, but it's a safe qualifier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. <b>Australia</b> - Televote will "meh" on it, and juries will rank it highly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. <b>Poland</b> - It's a perfect blend between experimental and safe, so quite a few crowds will be able to get behind it. Also, Kasia's vocals are great, so juries will award points for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. <b>Finland</b> - Juries will award it more than televotes. The majority of the televotes that it does get will be from the older and more mature audiences, not young people who are watching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. <b>Latvia</b> - It will get flooded by televotes, but the jury will hate it. I predict so many televotes that it will qualify despite objection from the jury.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
11. <span style="color: red;">Iceland</span><br />12. <span style="color: red;">Cyprus</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
13. <span style="color: red;">Albania</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
14. <span style="color: red;">Moldova</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
15. <span style="color: red;">Montenegro</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
16. <span style="color: red;">Georgia</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
17. <span style="color: red;">Czech Republic</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
18. <span style="color: red;">Slovenia</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Semi-Final Two</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <b>Romania</b> - No matter how annoying I find this song to be, it's a televote magnet. Juries will award Ilinca's vocals, and it will soar straight to the final, not breaking Romania's 100% qualification record just yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. <b>Hungary </b>- It will have a similar effect as Jamala's "1944" from last year, which wound up winning the competition. It will move people, and with that, it will be awarded plenty of points. Another dark horse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. <b>Israel </b>- It's a fun dance song that Europe wants to hear. It'll do really well, I think, and will finish near the top of its semi-final, like "Golden Boy" from 2015.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. <b>FYR Macedonia</b> - It will bring Macedonia their best result to date. Modern song, that's fun but can also be taken seriously. Jana will do a good job live.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <b>Bulgaria</b> - BNT seem to have a lot of faith in Kristian, so he will most likely deliver. The song will please both juries and televoterrs, because it's classy while remaining youthful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. <b>Estonia</b> - Koit and Laura are ESC veterans, which will give them a one-up. The song is modern and nostalgic at the same time, and the pair have some chemistry live.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. <b>The Netherlands</b> - Same as Australia, televoters will "meh" on it and juries will eat it up, because of the girls' vocals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. <b>Serbia</b> - It's Serbia, so it will qualify. It's a safe choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. <b>Belarus</b> - It will add a lot of fun atmosphere to the room.. Televoters will favor it more than juries, but the juries won't absolutely hate it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. <b>San Marino</b> - It will barely qualify, but it will qualify nonetheless. Valentina Fever has returned. People will vote for her so she can get a nice result for San Marino, and for nostalgia purposes. Juries won't award it much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
11. <span style="color: red;">Switzerland</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12. <span style="color: red;">Denmark</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Long time no see, yeah?</div>
<div>
Well, I've been quite busy, and that is my excuse ("Yeah, right, Calli, you're such a liar, you're just lazy!")</div>

Okay, maybe you're right...a little bit.</div>

Before the announcement, I was #TeamYokoyama, because I'd simply heard that Kaedy wasn't such a nice person. But as soon as I watched that announcement video, she charmed my pants off. She's waited for so long to be placed into a group, and her hard work has finally paid off; her tears of joy really touched my heart. It'll be nice to have an already-seasoned talent in the group to compensate for what 3/4 of 12ki is lacking (minus Miki.) She's got a deep voice and a short haircut, on top of that, so yep, I've found my new number two in Momusu (Sorry, Eripon!)</div>

For this dual selection, we get two polar opposites. Cute vs. masculine. Fresh vs. seasoned. And that's what I love about it. This same type of decision was made with Country Girls' second gen, with Musubu being an energetic powerhouse and Naachan being a doll-like charmer, and as a result, Country Girls' second gen has been one of the most effective generation additions in H!P's history. We haven't heard much of Reina yet, but she has that fresh-meat appeal that Japanese wota tend to love, so H!P really did a great job with picking this generation. There's a girl to please everyone.</div>

Life for Calli right now is pretty much just sailing along. I have a job and I'm going to be starting university in around June. The university I'm going to be going to is huge, and there's just so much to do. It's like its own little city. I'm really excited.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've been really coming into my own within the past year or two, and I'm proud of myself for that. I'm at a really comfortable stage in my life, and I just can't wait for what the future holds for me.</div>

(Second Take(?))That's right, folks.<br />
<br />
Tsubaki Factory weren't done just yet with their debut indies single.<br />
<br />
I figured there would be a rerecording of the song anyway because the original title had "(First Take)" in it, but I thought the rerecording would occur for their major debut, like Kobushi Factory did it.<br />
<br />
...Nope.<br />
<br />
The Tsubaki Factory ladies, in fact, are releasing their first indies mini album!<br />
<br />
It's titled "SOUND + VISION Vol. 1"! (Perhaps we can expect a Vol. 2 sometime in their career, or the title is just H!P trying to sound fashionable. Hopefully the former.)<br />
<br />
The tracklist is as follows:<br />
<br />
1. Seishun Manmannaka! <i>(...Second Take???)</i><br />
<i>2. </i>Kedakaku Sakihokore! (This was their second indies single, which was and still is a damn great song.)<br />
3. 17sai (Moritaka Chisato cover) (If I remember right, this was the first song they ever performed!)<br />
4. Cabbage Hakusho ~Haru Hen~ (Peaberry cover) (I initially thought it was a terrible song choice for Tsubaki, and I still do!)<br />
<br />
Naturally, by reading the title of this review, you'll know that this review is focusing purely on "Seishun Manmannaka! (Second Take)." I'm just gonna keep the "(Second Take)" part there, because it seems correct to me.<br />
<br />
So, <b>all four </b>songs have PVs on the DVD for the mini album! The mini album got released in a limited edition format at the SATOYAMA event on March 19th, but the actual release is on...May 18th! Seriously, that's such a long wait!<br />
<br />
Luckily, some gentleman (who must have bought the mini album at the SATOYAMA event) was kind enough to upload "Seishun Manmannaka! (Second Take)"'s PV on YouTube yesterday!<br />
<br />
Keep in mind this is Tsubaki's <b>first PV ever</b>, so I'm so happy to finally be seeing them in HQ form!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dQFbHY_IJqM/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQFbHY_IJqM?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So, without further ado, let's begin the review!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I remember when Tsubaki Factory was first formed, I absolutely despised the idea of them, I'm not going to lie. I thought the girls looked mismatched, their singing sucked, and they were just taking away Kobushi's spotlight.<br />
<br />
Then, they released their first indies single, "Seishun Manmannaka! (First Take)". I actually adored the song, and naturally I loved hearing the differing voices of the girls.<br />
<br />
I chose an official Tsubaki oshi after that song - Ogata Risa. I started to grow quite fond of Tsubaki Factory, and I transitioned from shit-talking them to supporting them.<br />
<br />
Then, they released their second indies single, "Kedakaku Sakihokore!", and I was sold.<br />
<br />
Their singing had improved a lot since debut, and though it still was not good whatsoever, I definitely noted the improvement. I no longer thought they were taking spotlight away from Kobushi; on the contrary, I admired them as just another wonderful H!P group I could enjoy.<br />
<br />
The one thing I still did think, though -- the girls looked mismatched.<br />
<br />
I still thought that, up until today, when I watched this PV.<br />
<br />
I actually really enjoyed this PV -- specifically, the aesthetic of it.<br />
<br />
The prissy ballerina-pink setting was very pleasing to the eye. The shots that panned over the girls as they made stoic faces may have been simple, but with those shots, you could see somewhat of a click with the girls.<br />
<br />
What I mean is...<br />
<br />
They were not interacting with each other whatsoever, however, they just fit together so well, like six adjacent puzzle pieces. The girls all gave me this high-fashion-classy-rich-girl feel, and I think it looked so great.<br />
<br />
I think especially <b>Ogata Risa</b>, <b>Niinuma Kisora</b>, and <b>Yamagishi Riko</b> pull off this vibe the best.<br />
<br />
This is the image I like and WANT for this group. This...couture teenage girl air.<br />
<br />
The girls in this group all have very unique but pretty faces, as well, so they look really slick sitting next to each other on that expensive-looking couch in that expensive-looking room.<br />
<br />
The outfit and hair choices are outstanding, suited to each individual girl extremely well.<br />
<br />
For the close-up shots, the background is a bit blurry (to showcase the faces of the girls, most likely), but if I'm inferring correctly, the background is supposed to be filled with pink flowers on pale yellow tables (Perhaps...tsubaki flowers? I'm not exactly sure what they look like!).<br />
<br />
I don't adore this set as much as the couch-in-room one, but it remains with the same pale pink and yellow color scheme.<br />
<br />
A lot of my friends had complaints about the shots of the live performance, and I agree that they seemed out-of-place with an actual PV (Chokkan 2 flashbacks, anyone?), but the live shots were most likely included to reminisce about Tsubaki's performance of their first original song.<br />
<br />
If I could choose whether or not to keep those scenes, though, I would not keep them. Rather, I would replace them with more pastel pink and yellow shots in a slightly different set.<br />
<br />
I don't have much to say about the Second Take version audio, because it <i>is</i> the same song. However, since it's a rerecording, it naturally does not sound the<i> exact</i> same.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I think this audio sounds <i>worse </i>than the original, which is a shame. In the original, the vocals sounded more raw, but not bad at all.<br />
<br />
In this version, the vocals are much too pitch corrected for my taste. It is incredibly obvious, and it doesn't sound good to my ears. Therefore, I think the excessive pitch correction gave the vocals the opposite result than what was desired.<br />
<br />
My main and only other complaint about this version of the audio is the robotic (for lack of a better word) "manmannaka"s at the end of the song.<br />
<br />
In the original song, these sound completely fine. However, in this version, it seems there was an extra harmony layer added that did not work out at all, because the harmonies are extremely off-pitch.<br />
<br />
Either an extra harmony layer was added, or the parts were made louder in the updated version, so the terrible harmonies became unveiled.<br />
<br />
Overall, I love this look Tsubaki Factory has been given, and I totally want them to keep this voguish image. About the audio...there was no need to pitch correct so much!<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />
<br />

I absolutely adore this PV, and think it is one of Morning Musume's best of all time. The color schemes, yet simple, complement each other so well. The set design is extremely well-done, and you have to look closely to catch every aspect of the sets. I love the breeze running through the girls' hair, adding visualization to the lyrics. My favorite scenes are the duo scenes in the white room, and I like that each duo got different props and angles. The MV experiments with many different camera angles, especially in Riho's solo dance scenes, which were filmed very tastefully. It's a touching, aesthetically pleasing PV, and I highly recommend checking it out.</div>

Woo hoo!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. <b><u>ºC-ute - Gamusha LIFE</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jsQKc6Q5mGc/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jsQKc6Q5mGc?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not going to lie, I wasn't crazy about this song at first listen, but then I listened to the whole thing. I think this was the perfect song to celebrate ºC-ute's 10th anniversary. It's cheerful bubblegum pop with class. This song probably wouldn't have made the top 10 if it weren't for the bridge, though. It starts off soft and sweet, and then it speeds up, soon erupting with cheers. It's very tasteful. And, of course, we get great vocal delivery from the girls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. <b><u>ANGERME - Desugita Kui wa Utarenai</u></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me tell you, when ANGERME do metal, they do it RIGHT. Uozumi Yuki did the electric guitar for this song, and it's so, so badass. The girls sound so powerful. The chorus to this song is definitely a headbanger. The soft rock breakdown in the bridge is a nice change of pace, but then it starts up again, with Kana leading the way back into the melody. I have to say, Meimi, Kana, and Rikako sound the best in this song. This song really goes hard.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh dear, this song made me cry when I first heard it. Not only is it an amazing song, but Duu and Zukki are the centers and lead vocals! That aspect is such a nice change of pace from the Morning Musume we had before. This song is so catchy, and the electronic aspect of it really does add excitement, and works well for the song. The robotic harmonies are really amazing, as well. I love talking along to the spoken dialogues in the bridge as well!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I must give this song major credit, because it's completely in English! Not only that, but it has one of the best damn melodies ever. It dives right into the melody as soon as the song starts. The girls' pronunciation is really great (of course, Miki's was, but the other girls did great.) This song has a slight holiday feel, in my opinion, but it's subtle. I love the electric guitar in this song. A lot of people complain about the "awkward" English lyrics, but I think they're just fine. There's not really problems with the grammar, some sentences are just a little awkwardly phrased. For me, it doesn't distract from the musical value of the song at all, though.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This song just has that classic Hello! Project feel. I was surprised when I loved it so much, because I really don't like Tsubaki Factory as a group. Then again, they sound much better in audio than live (which is expected, because in official audio, pitch and overall vocals can be corrected majorly.) I appreciate that the girls have really distinctive voices, but that's a factor in most Hello! Project groups, anyway. I just really love this song, but I can't explain it much. I always have it on repeat.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was it. The start of ANGERME. No more boring old S/mileage. The reborn group with such interesting music was being born, February 2015. And oh boy, did they hit the target spot-on with this song. It's so funky, groovy, and <i>fun</i>. You can just jam along, dance along. The chorus sounds so full, like the girls' vocals just fill it really well. The bridge is great, too. Murotan's high note is outstanding, and it really sold her as the vocalist of 3ki.</div>

I'm ranking them as different numbers because they're technically different, but I'll review them as the same song, because genuinely they are. This song adds so much hype, and when I heard it, I was in absolute love. Its best factor, though, is the fact that I literally never get sick of it. Whenever I hear this song, I just need to sing along. It's so rockin'! It showcases all the individual girls well, too, because each girl gets her own little individual section of the song. In the Nen'iri version, the vocals are really amped up, with more signature tongue-rolling and power in the vocals; also, a shout of "Nen!" is added in the beginning of the song. I'm in love with this song, and that will never change.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The funny thing about this song is that I actually didn't care for it the first couple of listens, but oh boy did that change. It has...literally...the most infectious melody I've ever heard. I really did the funky songs we got this year, and this song was no exception at all. It's a little repetitive, but in my opinion, that factor of the song makes it all the more charming. I find myself looping the hook over and over. This song knows exactly what it's doing, using words such as "paradise" to seal the melody in and create imagery that goes along with the disco tune. The group parts blend so well, and they add even more of a dance feel to the song.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And number 1 is, you guessed it...</div>

How can I describe a song so beautiful in words? It's absolutely epic. Kana and Rina blend GORGEOUSLY. This song is pure art. Kana's vibrato is so divine, and all the vocals in this song are executed perfectly. This song knows how to make me happy when I'm sad, and get me so pumped up. This song has the most amazing lyrics I've ever heard, probably because I can relate to them so much. The guitar and drums add that refreshing rock feel to the song. This song is truly a masterpiece, and I'll always hold it close to my heart. It's life-changing.</div>

I'm gonna be honest here: does anyone even care for this song? If I could choose one word to describe this song, it would be: boring. Sure, the lyrics and MV are sweet, but this is mostly a musical ranking. This song has no climax, and I kind of feel bad for the girls that they had to sing such a freaking boring song. The melody kind of makes me feel sick to my stomach, it's a bit depressing...</div>

Dear ºC-ute, you can do so much better than this song. I've <i>seen </i>you do much better than this song. Just because a song is a ballad, doesn't mean it has to be incredibly boring. Not to mention, this song is supposed to celebrate their tenure as a group, but Mai and Saki only get one line each. Even when I heard the radio rip for this song, I was so disappointed, and I remember thinking, "I really hope the other side to this single is better." Luckily, my wishes were fulfilled.</div>

Before y'all complain your asses off, remember that this is a <i>song </i>ranking, not an MV ranking. As for this song, it's not horrendous, but it's not good either. It sounds like it was intended for the Platinum 9 Disc album, but the idea was scrapped because it was too much of a filler track. My favorite part of this song has to be the pre-chorus, but the rest of the song, I really don't dig.</div>

It's really sad that this was Maro's official sendoff song, because every other ANGERME song from this year is better. I think the pacing of the lyrics is really odd, and the melody kind of doesn't know where it's going. The instrumental is really bland too. The dubstep thing in the pre-chorus is unfitting, too. I feel like this song is good in idol standards, but bad in H!P standards.</div>

This is where the songs change from "meh" to "good." That's how many solid H!P releases we've had this year, that 28/34 are at least good. This song is really addictive, you can't deny it, it's just lacking a bit in...something? Maybe it's because none of 3ki can really carry it along vocally except Murotan. I don't really have much bad things to say about this song, really, just that other songs are better.</div>

It's a pretty song, with beautiful vocals for the most part (except Riho shitting out her first line, I'm sorry!) This song is good at climaxing as it goes along too, which usually wins me over completely, but maybe it's the melody that doesn't sell me completely. It doesn't settle enough in my heart. I really do love the instrumental, though.</div>

A lot of people I know are <i>crazy</i> about this song, which I'm not. However, that being said, it's no doubt beautiful. Fukuhime and Sakura sound <u><b><i>amazing</i></b></u> in this song, just wow. I hope Duu takes Riho's lines in it once she graduates, because Duu's melodic voice would work so well with this song. I'm really not a Riho hater, I do love her, but her rough vocals don't really work well with such a peaceful song. However, she does bring a bit of drama into the song, but I think Maachan could've easily done that as well, if she had used her powerhouse voice in the song rather than her cute voice.</div>

Ignoring the absolutely horrendous MV, "Wonderful World" is a solid song. I know a lot of people who hate it, and I'm not exactly sure why; I never asked them. This song kind of makes me feel like I'm walking through Disneyland. It's a whimsical song. Sayuki definitely holds this song up well vocally, but all vocals in this one are top notch, even including iffy Yuka. I never thought I'd have to say this about a J=J song, but Karin...sounds...amazing...</div>

Firstly, Riho sounds great in this song. (See? I'm not a Riho hater!) Honestly, I think this one should've been the primary A-side to the single, rather than "Tsumetai," however it's understandable that it wasn't because "Tsumetai" showcases Riho off more. Yet again, the pre-chorus is my favorite part of the song, it builds emotion well. I'd say, this is another whimsical song.</div>

It kind of made me feel annoyed that I had to rank a Country Girls song in the upper half of the ranking (I'm not too fond of them), but this song is just too...interesting?...not to rank semi-high. Also, help, I think I'm starting to fall for Chii-chan...hey, she's 14, right? Only two years younger than me. It's not that creepy! She's just a charming little one. But Risahime is still my Country Girls oshi...for now! Anyway, not the point, back to the song. I really like the little dialogues, it gives the song a lot of personality, and the mini OzeChii love story, with Risa and Manaka as the onlooking peers, and Momoko as the granny jealous of the young love. I do enjoy this song.</div>

Mai's vocals usually make my ears bleed, but since they're so heavily autotuned in this song, it's okay. This song is mostly ranked this high for Nakky. She sounds AMAZING. Maybe the best she's ever sounded in an A-side. This song uses its effects wisely, as well.</div>

Goddammit, maybe I'm biased, because I really like French culture and the language, but this song is really nice. I know the "Dabada" part sounds almost exactly like "Rottara Rottara," but I don't think that distracts from the quality of this song. This type of song complements Tomoko's wonderful vibrato-y voice really well. I also like that the line distribution is almost completely equal. Yuka sounds nice in this song, too, her voice sounds a little tougher rather than cuter, and I think tougher fits her better in a way. </div>

We got "Arigatou," and we got this, on the same single. And oh boy, what a difference in musical quality. This song has that classic ºC-ute feel. This is the song ºC-ute will be begging all the thirsty wota to shout "Oi! Oi!" to while pumping their fists in concerts. Airi, Chisa, and Maimi lead this song extremely well. These rock-type songs fit Chisato especially so well, because her voice is so growly and deep. Mai and Nakky's speaking line breakdown in the bridge has to be my favorite part of the whole song, though. It adds so much hype. I love it.</div>

This song is kind of like a musical in itself, it's like a Broadway production. Meimi definitely sounds the best though, oh dear, she is just a powerhouse.

Finally, here comes the entrance of my oshi group. This song is great, but not as great as their other songs, I think. Despite that, this song is just so powerful, and does a really good job of defining them as a group. You know it's a Kobushi song when those mature, growly, tongue-rolling voices hit. I think the reason Renako and Tagucchi only got one line each was because this song was reserved for the rougher vocals, sans Hamachan, who I think was just made a lead vocal in the song because she is popular amongst wota. I love the traditional Asian influences in this song; even though they are minimalistic, they are definitely there.</div>

This song is so haunting, so powerful, so beautiful. It sounds like something right out of the Lilium musical, haha.

The parts where Meimi/Takechan sing the melody and Kana sings the low melody even adds more impact to the haunting theme of the song. Not to mention, the lyrics are really interesting.</div>

I think nobody except me would have this song so high in their ranking. But, I have my reasons. It starts off in a way that you think it'll be a ballad, but then... the instruments start building and building. The singing groups start getting larger and larger. You know you're in for something amazing. Then, the chorus hits and it breaks into dance. As I mentioned earlier, you all know I'm a sucker for songs that gradually build up. It adds such an excitement factor. This song executes that concept perfectly.</div>

This was the first song of the single in which there was a concert rip released. I remember hearing the rip and being really intrigued. This song is funk-rock. I think that's so interesting and unique. I also really like that there's no solo lines (unless RioRio's "Brr...Koizumi-san!" counts). A lot of people find the extreme repetition in this song irritating, but it actually makes me enjoy the song even more. The chorus is probably my favorite part, the "Koizumi-san suki suki" part. It sounds so awesome.</div>

If you're a fan of hard rock, I highly suggest checking out this song. It has a lot of metal influence. Back when this song only had a radio rip out, I listened and I fell in love. And at that moment, I declared Kobushi Factory my oshi group. I'd never heard such a cool song in my life. It's like...I tend to really like idols and rock mixed, hence my extreme love for Kobushi Factory and BABYMETAL. And this song is idol-rock hybrid goodness.</div>

Musume Time 5th Anniversary Contest<u>Why am I an idol fan?</u><br />
<br />
When life hits me with murky seas<br />
I look at my idols for ease<br />
I look at all their charms and grace<br />
It puts a smile on my face<br />
When life hits me with depression<br />
Idols fill me with emotion<br />
I turn on my idol playlist<br />
And then I'm at my happiest<br />
For, idols do so much for me<br />
They're not normal celebrities<br />
Listening to their happiness<br />
Makes everything okay right then<br />
And when I feel like life's at end<br />
I talk to all my online friends<br />
We bond about idols we love<br />
Nothing compares, this feeling of<br />
"Things are all good and it's okay"<br />
Because of idols, I'm here today<br />
<br />

<br />
All I know about them is that they are a sister group of MomoClo-Z and Ebichu.<br />
<br />
From this, I expect them to have a weird-kawaii concept, but we'll have to see.<br />
<br />
Side note: Why is everyone already preparing for Christmas? It is more than a month away!<br />
<br />
I'm not going to pic-spam because my computer does not have enough space, so just follow along with me! ;D<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FvFrVVAx9rM/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FvFrVVAx9rM?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Okay, so first of all, I am digging the neon lights behind their name and the title. Very cool effect!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Already, there is an explosion of cuteness and shouting. Of course, I like the girl in the green the best even from the first look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a very upbeat idol song. This PV was obviously shot with a lower budget, but it's still nice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That Santa is creepy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So now, the girls are on a train, sampling food in Christmas outfits. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The girl in blue kind of reminds me of Hamachan (from Kobushi Factory)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These girls seem very adorable, I wonder how old they are. They're probably around my age range, maybe a little younger. (Okay, so it seems they're all younger than me.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Suddenly, they're dancing on the bus! The green girl is in front, to my delight. I must say, these girls are quite amateur dancers, but I suppose like the rest of the Stardust groups, they're supposed to have that "charmingly untalented" touch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The girl in the yellow has a great eye smile!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another girl also quite reminds me of Miyu from Tokyo Girls Style...maybe it is the mole...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So far, I enjoy the singing of the purple girl the most (AKA Miyu look-alike!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This song is nothing special, but for some reason, I'm really enjoying everything about this release.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh dear, these girls' voices are so horrible, so horrible it's cute. XD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will wait with you at the bus stop!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There was a softer breakdown with what seems like the better singers' vocals, then back to the fun part. I like that little touch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh, now <i>Santa's </i>gettin' down!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Woo, now they're flying into space!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Okay, well I really enjoyed that more than I expected to! Not so much the song as the girls and PV! I think I'll follow this group from now on!</div>

<br />
Listening to AKB48, for me, is like watching paint dry. Their songs have too simplistic melodies for my liking.<br />
<br />
And that's why I'm challenging myself to do this review, to test my talent and patience as a writer.<br />
<br />
That being said, I really do enjoy the girls themselves, and watching them perform, and <i>most</i> of the fandom, but usually their songs just don't reel me in.<br />
<br />
I've never actually finished an AKB48 album, because a lot of the songs are so bland.<br />
<br />
But I'm doing this just to say I have. Also, for my fans' enjoyment.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that I'm listening to most of these songs with a fresh ear, excluding "Beginner," which I've heard once, and "Heavy Rotation," which I've heard many, many times.<br />
<br />
Also, I apologize if this review has repetitive wording. Their songs do tend to repeat themselves often.<br />
<br />
So, without further ado, let's begin!<br />
<br />
NOTE: A-sides are <b>bolded</b>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <u>Shoujotachi yo</u> (AKB48)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Starting off, this song has that power-pop-trumpet thing going on that a lot of AKB48 songs have. It's a safe method they've used for a while now, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't slightly enjoy it. Also, I'm really enjoying the faint background electric guitar strumming, but if you read my blog, you'll probably know I'm a sucker for guitar in idol songs. The chorus has a very typical AKB48 sound, which I expected from the opener of the album. The chorus is definitely a step down from the verses. The second verse kicks in with a bit of a drum beat, which I really like. The instrumental bridge is actually quite breathtaking, but unfortunately the instruments in this song really shine over the girls' vocals and the melody. However, the instrumental is so amazing that I can fairly say this is a good song. The song ends with a bang, with a little twinkling effect at the end. Overall, I really did enjoy this song, and I think I might keep it on my computer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. <u>Overtake </u>(Team A)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, when starting, again this song follows the AKB48 formula. However, I'm a little more forgiving with this one because it's just Team A and they were the building block of the AKB48 sound. The girls' vocals sound really nice and smooth in this song. It's always nice to hear the mixture of high and low voices. Listening to the chorus, I'm almost sure I've heard this song before. In this song's case, that's not a good thing. It's very bland. The second verse starts with a little acoustic instrumentation in the background, eventually building up with percussion again. It seems that in the second chorus, even more percussion is added. This song's charm thus far seems to be its crescendo of sorts. The bridge consists of a chorus of "ooh"s followed by the girls singing again, then back to the boring chorus. I think overall, this song is very forgettable. Sometimes, the AKB48 song formula creates great songs, but this one is just a filler track, in my opinion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. <u>Boku ni Dekiru Koto</u> (Team K)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before starting this song, I have higher expectations of it already, because it's Team K and Team K are my favorite team. They are my favorite team because of their cool image and also because they create the highest quality songs in AKB48. The song starts with powerful "Wow wow"s with the girls. The first verse has soft but cool instruments in the background. In the pre-chorus bridge, I really like the smooth but amazing transition. The chorus has overlapping and echoing harmonies, to give it a more unique and fresh feel. As soon as the chorus ends, back to the "Wow wow"s that I could listen to forever. In fact, as I keep listening to this song, I am loving it more and more. It's really hard-hitting, feel-good, and beautiful. This song gives me that "I'm so proud to be an idol fan" feeling. There is an electric guitar solo in the bridge, followed by the chorus yet again. The "Wow wow"s are definitely my favorite part of the song. Overall, a great song.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. <u>Ren'ai Circus </u>(Team B)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When this song starts off with an electronic-rock thing going on, it really shocks me. This song has a fun ska feel, which surprises me a lot when it comes from Team B, because I've heard they have cuter songs. The little background noises aren't doing it for me, and the chorus sounds very juvenile. I guess the title of "Circus" really does fit the song, because it's very all over the place. Thankfully, the girls really do sound like they had a lot of fun recording this song. Also, it's nice to hear the ska representation in this song, even if it is a little overshadowed by the overall awkwardness of the composition. My favorite parts of this song are the guitar parts, which sound really nice with an electronic filter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <u>Kaze no Yukue</u> (Kuramochi Asuka, Sashihara Rino, Takahashi Minami, Oshima Yuko, Minegishi Minami, Kashiwagi Yuki)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From this lineup, I expect two things: solo lines and a mature concept. Let's see if I'm right. It starts off with an instrumental that sounds like it would be in a commercial for medicine, showing happy families prancing around in a green field. Then, the vocals kick in, and the undeniable idol feel starts. I'll tell you, AKB48 songs are really good at one thing, making life feel like it's all right. The chorus is very melodic and pretty. This song kind of reminds me of an upbeat, more idol-y version of "Aruiteru" by Morning Musume. Maybe it's because of the chimes that can be heard in the background. The girls in this song seem like some of the better singers, except for Yuko, who I know is just mediocre. Even though this song doesn't seem to have any solo lines like I expected, it survives just fine without them. It's a very beautiful song. Wait, I swallow my words. There are two solo lines in the bridge, coming from Takamina and Yuko. Something I really like about Takamina's voice is how well it flows from one note to the other. Yuko does not have the best voice, but it's obvious she got the other solo line because she was very popular during her time in the group. Even so, her voice definitely does not ruin the dynamic of the song. The melodies and harmonies and everything about this song is just so pretty, and I think this album is pretty solid so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. <u>Wagamama Collection </u>(Oota Aika, Maeda Ami, Komori Mika, Sato Sumire, Watanabe Mayu, Matsui Jurina)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To avoid looking stupid, I looked this song up first on Studio48 to see if it has solo lines. It does. From the translation of the lyrics of this song, I expect it to be a cutesy song.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Out of the girls in this song, I know of Lovetan, Sumire, Mayuyu, and Jurina. I'm not familiar with the other two girls, but I do hope they are well-suited to this song. Well, let's find out. Oh dear, this is just very...50s? Too cute for my tastes. Very sugary and whiney. Not my thing. I should've expected it. The girls are trying very hard to sound high-pitched, which is making me feel uncomfortable. The chorus is disappointing, as I expected some big leap from the verse sound to the chorus, but no luck. The melody of this song grates on you, and seems to repeat itself over and over. This song's brother-little sister complex is not really my thing, even though I know it's quite popular in Japan. The bridge switches things up. In fact, it's almost acapella, then an out-of-place electric guitar solo. I really don't like this song, but I can see how it would please some idol fans.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. <u>Ningyo no Vacances</u> (Takajo Aki, Nito Moeno, Yokoyama Yui, Kasai Tomomi, Kitahara Rie, Sato Amina, Masuda Yuka)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The song has a really island-y, chill-out feel in the beginning. There are a lot of H!P-esque background vocals. This song is acoustic guitar-heavy, which is really unique of an AKB48 song. The melody is fairly simple, and I'm not a fan of the song so far. I feel like with selected member lineups for songs, the girls should have chances to shine, and I feel like with this song, they don't get their chance to, especially with the unreasonably loud male vocals overpowering the actual girls. There's not much of a group dynamic in this one, unfortunately. There's not much more to say about this song, since it stays pretty much the same throughout. Perhaps, it's the weakest song of the album so far. Something I will give it, though, is the lyrics have really nice imagery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. <u>Kimi to Boku no Kankei</u> (Maeda Atsuko, Itano Tomomi)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This should be interesting. I'm not particularly fond of either Acchan or Tomochin, but if I had to pick, I would pick Tomochin. I still feel really weird hearing Tomochin in AKB songs simply because of the trainwreck American-style music she makes now. The song starts off with really awkward English, then jumps into the melody. This song is very J-pop. It has electronic accents, with very typical idol vocals. The chorus is infectious, kind of reminding me of a Euro-pop track. This song is chock-full of effects, which works well. Suddenly, a random guy comes in and raps in Engrish. It's horrid. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but does he say "I wanna wanna see you all gay"? Hopefully, I'm hearing that wrong! This song was decent until that rap happened. Now it's just laughable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. <u>Iikagen no Susume</u> (Katayama Haruka, Kojima Haruna, Shinoda Mariko, Akimoto Sayaka, Miyazawa Sae, Matsui Rena)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can I just say, I'm digging this lineup already. Especially since my AKB48 kami-oshi, Sayaka, is in it. I cannot wait to listen. To start this song off, it has some nice piano, then morphing into a more upbeat tune. Not going to lie, it gave me the chills. The song starts off with a long solo line from KojiHaru, which I can't complain about. The transition from solo to group works really well. The girls' voices blend really well in this song. The chorus has a really mature feel, with great instrumentation. Yes, I've said that a lot in this album review, but that's another thing AKB48 does really well. The instruments are always really great in their songs, and the instrumental compositions are always well-thought-out. I really like how Sayaka's deeper voice sticks out during the group parts, not to mention she is a really good singer. This song has a really nice balance to it, and overall it's very enjoyable.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
10. <u>High school days</u> (Team Kenkyuusei)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, a song from AKB48 trainees! I expect this to have...prepubescent vocals, since Aki-P recruits 'em young. The song starts off really prettily, but then takes an unfortunate dive once the singing starts, with the same melody from a million other songs I've heard. The chorus is a little refreshing, and it might actually save the song from being a snooze-fest. I have a feeling I already know what this song is about, without looking up the translation: <i>"Oh, I'm a schoolgirl...oops, my seifuku lifted in the wind, did you sneak a peek? Oh, I always blush around you...what to do?" </i>Well, what do you know? I was pretty much right. It's expected, though. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
11. <u>Team B Oshi</u> (Team B)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dear God, if this song is anything like "Wasshoi B!," I'll need to get away from it as fast as I can. That damn song gives me nightmares. Here's hoping it's not. Of course, it's a cute song. Well, this song is definitely a song meant for wotagei. Why does it seem that every Team B song has to have obnoxious background noise? Oh well, I suppose they're supposed to be the team with "personality." A nice touch to this song is the chanting of each member's nickname in the choruses. It's very inclusive, since there's so many girls. Plus, it gives wota the chance to scream the loudest when their oshi's name is called. The yelling between the notes in this song really does annoy me, but I do like the AKB48 chant parts. At least this song is miles better than "Wasshoi B!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12. <u><b>Chance no Junban</b></u> (AKB48)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, here are where the A-sides start. It starts off with the most formulaic AKB48 melody one could think up -- no lie. I have a strong feeling this song was just one of those ones that Aki-P just threw together in five minutes and thought, <i>Well, it doesn't matter if this song sounds the exact same as 3000 other songs I've created, it'll sell anyway! </i>A lot of the strengths in AKB48's A-sides usually do lie in the PVs, anyway, so here's to hoping this song had a great PV. I'm sure the girls do get tired of singing the same melody all the time, though. Like I said, there's nothing at all that sets this song apart from their others, so I literally have no opinion on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
13. <b><u>Beginner</u></b> (AKB48)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"AY YO! POSITION..SET!" What a freaking transformation. AKB48 goes hip-hop. This song is just so freaking...cool. This song makes me want to just clap and stomp along with it. It's something different from them. I really love the "Cha-change your mind" parts. I think they should do more badass songs and concepts. "Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai" was really badass PV-wise, but the song sounded kind of generic. I want another hard-hitting hip-hop song like this one from AKB48 again, because it just works so well for them. This chorus is very memorable. Then there's an amazing, empowering, bridge that I just can't get enough of. This song just makes me want to conquer the world. It's extremely epic. It actually makes use of the many girls, being that the group singing works really well for it. I can definitely imagine myself listening to this one often. I give this song a 10/10.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
14. <b><u>Ponytail to Shushu</u></b> (AKB48)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will this song be a ballad? That's what I thought, until of course the trumpet pop thing came in. Great, another generic song. I would've liked to heard a ballad for once. Maybe, I'm thinking, the fans like these kinds of songs so much because they're just so "sugary idol." You don't really have to think to enjoy these types of songs. You can just kick back, relax, and enjoy the happy voices of your wonderful idols. I can kind of see the appeal, realizing that H!P, which is my main fandom, has really distinctive songs that are really for specific moods. With AKB48, the songs are more just like "I'm in the mood to listen to some sugary idol goodness, let me just put on an AKB48 song." It's not really my thing, and I prefer H!P anyday, but like I said, I can definitely see the appeal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
15. <u><b>Heavy Rotation</b></u> (AKB48)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ah, my first AKB48 song ever. My second J-pop song ever, after Mini Moni's "Ai~n! Dance no Uta" (please don't look that second one up, it's an embarrassment to all H!P fans.) This song is notorious for its wonderful lesbian sleepover-themed music video. This song actually started my obsession with J-pop, because despite having that AKB48 song feel, it actually has a really distinct tune. Yuko is the center and the only one with solo lines, which is a nice switch-up from the Acchan-dominated world at the time. This song is perfect pop goodness, you might just get a cavity from listening to it. I remember watching the PV and trying to learn the girls. I was instantly attracted to Shinoda Mariko, as she was the dance center. Of course, this was when I knew barely anything about the group, but Mariko-sama still remains one of my favorites. Overall, this song is really awesome, and pleases my ears to this day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
16. <u>Koko ni Ita Koto</u> (AKB48, SKE48, SDN48, NMB48)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, the finale song of the album, after two hours of writing this review. It's featuring all of AKB's sister groups at the time (don't even remind me of SDN, so sad.) Wow, this time it's actually a ballad. A very pretty-sounding one, too. There's a nice violin in the background along with simplistic piano. I can imagine this song being performed at a graduation concert, and I'm sure it has been. The harmonizations are a really beautiful and angelic touch. There's a little chorus on either side on the ear. It's faint, but extremely aesthetically pleasing. This song has no doubt the best composition on the whole album. The song descends into epicness, with trumpets and light percussion entering, then goes back to the simple instruments. The dynamic of this song is very smooth, and the girls sound flawless. I think this song is an outstanding finisher.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I am pleased with this album. Some tracks were track, some not-so-great, but for AKB48 standards, I give it an A+. </div>

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">「Thank you for your continued support towards Morning Musume。'15.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">I have to make an announcement to all of you.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">I, Riho Sayashi,</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">Will graduate from Morning Musume。 on December 31st of this year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">Since kindergarten, I wanted to take part in the group Morning Musume。 I became a member when I was 12 years old. 5 years ago, I started with Tsunku♂-san and continued until now with the support of many staff, Morning Musume。 and Hello! Project members, and more than anything, with that of the fans.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">However, this year I've thought many times about if I should continue like this in my future life.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">As a human alone, I started to think if there are things that I have yet to experience in order to live strongly.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">I have discussed this many times with the people of the company, and I've decided to graduate after I checked the growth of the 12th generation kohai ("kohai" means "juniors" here) this year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">Concerning the day of my graduation, I had the privilege on deciding the graduation. It will be on the last day of "Morning Musume。'15" on December 31st during the Countdown Live.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">Concerning the Morning Musume。 tour, the last performances will be on December 7th and 8th at Budokan.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">I am really sorry for the abrupt news.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">I think this is quite a surprise.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">But until now, inside of me, it has worried me.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">And it has led me to this decision.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">From now on, I think I want to study abroad and learn more English and dance.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">Then with those experiences I will mature much more, and I will try my best to come back as soon as possible.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">There are 2 months left until then, but until that moment, along with all the members, I will do everything we have to do for "Morning Musume。'15".</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;">Until December 31st, I want to run through everything with all my power so please continue to support me!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<strong><span style="color: red;">Riho Sayashi」</span></strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "times"; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">Wow. None of us were expecting this announcement. At all. </span></div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "times"; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "times"; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">Especially since it was so abrupt. Apparently, even the fellow members didn't know until we the fans did.</span></div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: "times"; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">The announcement wasn't at a concert, and she won't even have a special graduation concert.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">I've noticed, along with a bunch of other fans, that recently RihoRiho has been in a bad mental state. She just doesn't seem as happy anymore. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">But the thought that a Morning Musume member, especially the ace and center, would have such a rushed graduation is really disheartening.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">In this situation, it doesn't even matter my personal opinions of Riho. This is her time, and I feel so so much for all her passionate wota. I am just putting myself in that place, if my kami-oshi Fujii Rio had decided to graduate abruptly like this.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">I'm glad she'll be able to pursue the things she's always wanted to. It's understandable that she wants to grow as a person, and wants to shed being an idol in order to become a woman. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Riho has provided us all with smiles for almost five years now. She has that trademark smirk, and absolutely works her hardest in her dancing and even singing, even if she's not the best at the latter.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">No matter how much I love to see other girls, it's true no Morning Musume girl was better suited for center than Riho was. Things have changed, as the other girls have started to grow into themselves more and as Riho's major responsibilities started to grate on her, but Riho still remains a great ace.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Moving forward, I'm hoping to see backgirls shine more, but it seems that's already starting to happen, and maybe the concept of "backgirls" will become eliminated completely.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">We don't know what Morning Musume '16 has in store for us, and I'm excited to see it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">I wish the gorgeous, the talented, the funny, the perverted, the amazing Sayashi Riho an outstanding rest of her life.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">I can't wait to see what she does in Hello! Project after her graduation.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">-Calli</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Now, enjoy RihoRiho's first MV with the group and 9ki's debut, "Maji Desu ka Ska!"</span></div>

Harunan is a fuckin' babe. There, I said it. I love her more chocolate complexion (I really miss when her member color was chocolate, it suited her much more than honey does). She's got a great sense of style. She's sweet, mature, and I feel like she'd be the kind of girlfriend who does the dishes but also is up for clubbing. I just wish she'd never graduate from MoMusu.</div>

Honestly, Karin looks like a hamster. Her eyes are so beady and she looks like she's gonna murder me 99% of the time. I usually love when H!P idols have short hair, but it looks so funny on her. Also, I feel like she's completely overrated by H!P. She gets main vocal lines all the time but Kanatomo, Sayubee, and even Uemuu are honestly better singers. I don't hate Miyamoto Karkar, but she's definitely my least favorite girl in H!P. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love Rio's leadership skills. You can tell the other members look up to her and love her so much. Her bright smile can light up my day. She's such a hard worker and you can tell she loves being an idol so much. Not to mention, she's extremely attractive!</div>

<br />
Before I make the Day 1 post for the H!P 20 day challenge, I just wanna get a little real with you guys.<br />
<br />
My life really sucks as of late, and I don't wanna go into detail, but I feel hopeless.<br />
<br />
Nothing ever can go 100% right with my life, because I always wind up fucking up things somehow, or someone ends up screwing me over, or things just plain turn to shit.<br />
<br />
But there's a magical drug I use to ease the pain.<br />
<br />
It doesn't have any negative side effects, and it's there whenever I need it.<br />
<br />
Just a little bit of it can make me feel better.<br />
<br />
It's called...idols.<br />
<br />
Seriously though, if I'm sad, I just look at a picture of Rio or Jiyoon, watch a ºC-ute PV or BTS MV, stalk Hello! Online and Koreaboo, and I'm all right for a little while.<br />
<br />
I'm sure a lot of you can relate to this, too.<br />
<br />
What is it about idols that's so amazing? Even though they obviously have flaws too (they're human), they still somehow seem like perfect creatures to us. It's a beautiful thing, sort of like an innocence. So when we watch their smiling faces in music videos, it's like the world doesn't have any problems anymore.<br />
<br />
Writing on this blog is so therapeutic for me that I could write on it all day. Because idols make me happy. And writing makes me happy. If I put the two together, it's the best medicine in the world.<br />
<br />
Thanks for supporting me and I really hope my blog fanbase will grow. This is my passion and I hope you all can see it.<br />
<br />
I love you all.<br />
<br />

<br />
Kobushi.<br />
<br />
Factory.<br />
<br />
You know how I thought I would stan Country Girls when they first came out? Well, I was wrong. Completely wrong. I don't really like their music and none of the members turned out captivating me except my oshi RisaRisa. Mori-senpai and Zekki are cool, but nowhere near oshi status. Chubby-chan left the group, which is fine for me since she was my least favorite. Manakacakes is talented, but not my cup of tea. As for Momoko...well, she's Momoko.<br />
<br />
Country Girls seemed great until the music video for "Itooshikutte Gomen ne" came out. It was horrid. The only member I really like (RisaRisa) got, like, .2 seconds of screentime. The outfits were dreadful, and so was the music video period. The song was pretty good, but nothing to captivate me with. "Koi Dorobou," although having more bearable lead vocals, was still not good. So I pretty much threw the idea of stanning Country Girls out the window after their first single. Hearing their new A-side, which is extremely boring, just reconfirmed it.<br />
<br />
Then, one night, my life changed, when I heard this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'The girls are all so attractive, how is it humanly possible?' I thought to myself. 'The song is so good, how is it humanly possible?' I thought to myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One girl in particular, though, caught my eye the most: Fujii Rio. Wow, this girl was <i>hot</i>. That was the moment I looked up everything about her and realized...."Hey I just met you...and this is crazy...but Fujii Rio...you're at the top of my rankings." ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After hearing "Survivor," I listened to "Nen ni wa Nen"'s live rip once again. I had heard it before, back when the group was first announced, but listening to it again, I liked it a lot better.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With the combination of these two songs and how perfect the girls are, I officially declared Kobushi Factory my oshi group; sorry, ºC-ute! This was just reconfirmed when the official audios came out; although, since I've been a mega-fan since the beginning, (hipster, I know ;D) I bootlegged the audios before they were officially released anyway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The two music videos, although not really music videos, for the songs were released and I was extremely hyped, even if they weren't much. </div>

"What happened to ºC-ute Time?" :o<br />
<br />
Well, it's gone. For good.<br />
<br />
I mean, the blog is still viewable and stuff but I figured I'd just post everything H!P related on this blog, including ºC-ute, because this is Calli Loves Hello! Project after all.<br />
<br />
Nooooooooow my friend Mara (fellow Rio oshi, ayyyy gurl) wants to torture me. But you know what they say, you must face your fears.<br />
<br />
Deep in the fiery pits of Tsunku hell lies this horrid, terrible, despicable, trash excuse for an album.<br />
<br />
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? NO, it's ºC-ute's "Shocking 5!"<br />
<br />
Released during the awkward time between Umeda Erika's departure from the group and the birth of 5-nin ºC-ute, "Shocking 5" is no doubt ºC-ute's worst album to date (Dai Nana Shou is pretty damn close, but this one takes the cake).<br />
<br />
But rather than just telling you all how horrible it is, I will also write a track-by-track review, because that's my style.<br />
<br />
SAA.....LEEEEET'S STAATOOOO!<br />
<br />
NOTE: A-sides are <b>bolded</b>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. <u><b>EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!!</b></u><br />
<u><br /></u>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you want a refreshing pop song that sounds like it belongs in a video game, listen to "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!!" I really like this song, I'm not gonna lie. When I initially got into ºC-ute, it was a song I ignored, and I'm not really sure why. The notes flow <i>really</i> nicely from one to the next. It's a song I can listen to and it will make life feel like life's all right for four minutes. Maimai and Erika are the only ones without a solo line in this song, which is surprising since it's a youthful song and they have young-sounding vocals. The only part of this song I'm not crazy about is the instrumental bridge, but I feel like Tsunku generally cheaps out on those anyway. (A really memorable one from ºC-ute, though, was Aitai Aitai Aitai na. That one was a masterpiece.) Overall, "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!!" is a great album opener and a sweet, feel-good song. </div>
<br />
2. <u>The Party!</u><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"The Party!" is a song sung completely in unison, which is definitely not my favorite type of H!P song (with the exception of "Mikaeri Bijin" off Morning Musume's "TIKI BUN / Shabadabadoo~ / Mikaeri Bijin" single.) I think solo lines give a song more character, and unless the song itself already has character (again, think "Mikaeri Bijin,") a song can be ruined by lack of solo lines. This song definitely suffers from that problem. Another problem I find with this song is the notes are sung <i>very</i> choppily. I'm not sure if that was a stylistic choice, or if ºC-ute are just giving a poor vocal performance. Not to mention, after coming after unique power-pop piece "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!," this song is just a bland disappointment. A lot of the melodies from this song sound borrowed from other H!P songs, which is a problem many H!P non A-sides suffer from. I think with this song, it was attempting to be funky, but it failed. An example of a great funk-pop song is SNSD's "Beginning," which was arranged a lot smarter than this song. Suzuki Airi is the only girl with solo lines in this song, as she gets adlibs at the end of the song. This is unfair to the other girls, since she sings 90% of the album anyway. The one compliment I can give to this song, though, is that the minor notes in the chorus work very well. Overall, a song to avoid from the album.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. <u>Aa Koi</u> (Suzuki Airi solo)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Aa Koi" is a rock song sung just by center and lead vocalist, Suzuki Airi. While this song is a huge step up from "The Party!," it's still lacking something. It lacks a certain "umph" that some H!P rock songs have (think "Abiru Hodo no Ai wo Kudasai" off ºC-ute's Queen of J-pop album.) I think this song doesn't flatter Airi's vocals as well as Buono!'s more watered-down rock does. This song, in my opinion, would've been better as a Chisato solo. Airi also sounds incredibly bored while singing this song. It sounds like she's just singing the notes, and not conveying any special message with her voice, which is something Airi is usually able to do but not in this song. The verses in this song are stronger than the chorus, in my opinion. The guitar solo in this song is GREAT, and I commend whoever did it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. <u><b>Bye Bye Bye!</b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although not a favorite among ºC-ute fans, "Bye Bye Bye!" is a favorite of mine, personally. I think everything in the song works, even the strange "You see, I'm better"s scattered across the song. A cool component to this song is the unique electro-chirp effect on Nakky's "Odorimashou" parts. Although this song is, as most old ºC-ute songs were, an Airi and Maimi lead, this song has a bit better line distribution than "EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!," and they are both A-sides. I really like the harmonies in the verses, done by all the members. They're very subtle, but pleasing to the ear. My only complaint about this song, is Maimi's strained "Bye bye~!" at the end. I think it should've been given to Airi, because you can tell Maimi is really struggling to hit the note. Otherwise, I think this song is awesome. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. <u>Lonely girl's night</u> (Yajima Maimi solo)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Lonely girl's night" is a solo sung by Yajima Maimi. This song is one of the stronger songs on this album. I think this song is very fitting for Maimi's deeper singing voice. It's mature-sounding and has a strong hip-hop R&B feel. A minor but nice touch to this song is the sprinkling of guitar and classical instruments in the verses. It really gives the song an extra push. A criticism of this song would be that on certain adlibs, Maimi's voice sounds resonant, but on others, it sounds very strained. Straining is a problem Maimi has always struggled with, but she's improved over the years. Overall, "Lonely girl's night" is very pretty and a well-produced H!P R&B song. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. <u>Kimi no Senpou</u> (Okai Chisato, Nakajima Saki, Hagiwara Mai)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Kimi no Senpou" is, no doubt, the strongest song on the album. This song is amazing, and a huge standout from the others on the album. The guitar in this song is gorgeous, and the talking parts at the beginning of the verses are adorable. I think this song is especially fitting for Maimai's voice. Chisato, however, I believe is too good for this song; her vocals are too superior to the other two girls. This song has a masterpiece of a chorus, that I could listen to forever. It's a fun summer song, and it builds major excitement when you listen to it. 10/10.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. <u><b>SHOCK!</b></u> (Suzuki Airi solo...kinda?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"SHOCK!" is a promotional song widely hated by fans. Why? Because it's a bad song? Nope, it's really not a bad song at all. It's just the fact that it was an A-side where Airi sings <i>all</i> of the solo lines. The other girls only get group lines and "Chyaa~"s. Musically, this song is pretty well-done. It kind of sounds like a spy-ish song, I don't know how to describe it. Airi hits the notes very well, which you can always depend on her for. The song has nice guitar incorporation. Out of all the A-sides included on this album, though, it's probably the weakest. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. <u>Shigatsu Sengen</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, let me just say, when I first heard the beginning of "Shigatsu Sengen," I thought it was going to be a stellar song. The opening guitar chords are extremely pleasing to the ear...but then the girls started singing. Now, this song isn't the weakest of the album, in fact, I really like it, but the instrumental to this song is just <i>so </i>much better than the vocals. It doesn't sound like it should be a ºC-ute song, which is a major problem with it. Also, the melody of the chorus just drags on and on, it's not exciting. The guitar solo is wicked, though. The guitar overall in this song is very well done. I like that everyone has exactly two solos each, which is unique of ºC-ute's old songs, where line distribution was not the best.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
9. <u>"Zansho Omimai Moushiagemasu."</u> (Suzuki Airi solo)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know what you're thinking...ANOTHER Airi solo on this album? Well, yes, unfortunately. Although, this doesn't count as much, because it was just the B-side to "Shochuu Omimai Moushiagemasu." Why did they include it on the album? I have no clue. Especially since the original version of "Shochuuu Omimai Moushiagemasu" was not even on this album, just a remix (which I won't review.) They could have just replaced it with a new and better song. Not that this song is horrid, in fact it's quite pretty, but it's like a filler. It has a similar feel to Maimi's "Lonely girl's night," but is less R&B and is more ballad-like. I personally think this song would've shined better as a group song with Airi lead, where there is no group lines and just composed of each member's solo lines, but that's just my opinion.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
10. <u>Yume ga Aru Kara</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Yume ga Aru Kara" is a boring ballad that is a poor excuse for an ending song. Want to hear an amazing ending song for an album? Listen to f(x)'s "Ending Page." This song is poor, cliched, and boring. The instrumental is pretty, but it adds little substance to the already tasteless song. Not to mention, it's ANOTHER song sung in unison, which gets old quickly. The positives about this song, however: the harmonies sound really nice and the song ends with a bang.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall? ºC-ute's Shocking 5 is an album composed of mediocre song after mediocre song, with the exceptions of "Lonely girl's night" and "Kimi no Senpou" (not counting the A-sides.) I would not recommend this album, unless you want to critique it like me. Listen to their other albums instead.</div>

Anyway, today we're gonna go old school and by old school I mean two years old. That's right, today I'll be discussing one of Morning Musume's most successful singles, "One.Two.Three / The Matenrou Show"!<br />
Now, I'm very familiar with this single, which is why I feel very comfortable with reviewing it. So, like all my single/album reviews, this will be track-by-track.<br />
Remember, if you guys need MP3s, you may always ask me for them!<br />

<br />
WOAH WOAH~! "One.Two.Three" is a song that will captivate you from the first time you hear it with its extensive and clever use of autotune. Notice, "clever." Some H!P songs use autotune when really not necessary, but it is the charm of One.Two.Three. And I think Tsunku knew that when he produced this song, he knew its charm point and stuck with it. With less-than-fair line distribution, lines 95% sung by Tanaka and Sayashi, it loses some of its charm. It's a bit more forgiving in this song, though, because of its heavy autotune. The times bad line distribution really irks me is when a song is moderate tempo, or a ballad, or just not autotuned heavily. Overall, this is a high quality song, and I still enjoy listening to it to this day.</div>

<br />
"The Matenrou Show," you could say, is the complete obverse to its predecessor. It is a jazz-funk song that, once again, speaks about love. The song uses terribly awkward and broken English phrases in the verses, such as "the modern girl," whatever that is supposed to mean...and don't even get me started on "the mountain top." This song is even worse than "One.Two.Three" in terms of line distribution, with Riho and Reina singing literally 100% of the solo lines. You might as well not even call it a Morning Musume song, for it is Riho, Reina, and the background singers (who you can barely even hear clearly over Tsunku's pedo-vocals.) In this song, the line distribution is not forgivable because it is not a heavily autotuned song like "One.Two.Three." The song itself is good, though, I just wish the freaking line distribution was better!</div>

This song is a 6ki power-pop song. It was the first B-side I heard of this single, a while ago, back when I was first getting into Hello! Project. In fact, I knew this song before I knew "The Matenrou Show." The main problem I have with this song is hearing the cringe-y contrast between Reina's great singing and Sayu's weak vocals. You can hear Sayu straining on the "high notes," and it is not pleasing to the ear. However, it is always nice to hear this pair singing together, for pure nostalgia purposes. The hook of this song is strong, and despite its weaknesses, I'm glad this song was included on the single.</div>

This song was always the one I always skipped on the single -- not because I dislike 9ki, in fact, I am a fan of Eripon and Zukki, and somewhat Fukumura, but simply because this song is quite boring. A nice touch, though, is that Zukki opens the song. The song features the girls whispering the title syllable-by-syllable, and I think that is the most redeeming part of this song, to be honest. The chorus is <i>incredibly</i> boring, and 9ki deserves a much better song, in my opinion. You can barely hear Eripon in this song because, like always, she was given the short end of the stick. The guitar solo in the bridge does not fit in the song at all. Overall, I feel as if this song is a filler, very weak, and 9ki deserves better.</div>

This is no doubt the strongest B-side of the single. Each girl gets a chance to shine in this song, something "Aisaretai no ni..." lacked. This song is cheerful, and reflects the idea of young love. Usually I do not love cheerful/genki songs, but this song is an exception. It was well-produced, well-distributed, and no girl felt out of place. The one girl who particularly stands out to me in this song, though, is Iikubo Haruna. I would say it's the deepness of her voice, but Daishi's voice is not exactly high-pitched either. I think it's because you can really tell Harunan gave it her all in this song, and she's only improving more and more by the day. I'm really happy she got the last line, because she finishes the song beautifully. All the girls excel in this song, though. So overall, best B-side of the album and great song.</div>

It's a Sayu-centered song called "Kare to Issho ni Omise ga Shitai!" This song is ironically about a boy, even though Sayu is obviously a lesbian. Anyway, not the point! XD This song was on the single with "Kono Chikyuu no Heiwa wo Honki de Negatterun da yo!" which is the more known side of the single. Do I think this is one of their stronger singles? Definitely not, but I'm still reviewing this side, because just like I said, </b><b>this song <i>just won't get out of my head</i>. Anyway let's STAATO!</b><br />

<b>Okay, well the top two were expected. RisaRisa third though, is quite interesting. Although now that I think about it, it's true. I'm just quite apprehensive as to how Nakky is above Harunan, that puzzles me. Something that really surprised me was how high up Mori-senpai was...but now that I think about it, I really do like her second in Country Girls. Also, I'm surprised that KanaTomo is so low, because she is my first oshi in Juice=Juice. Airi is above Maimi, which would've been surprising a month ago, but honestly, Maimi's been grating on me, and I'm starting to see Airi's charm. Of course, she'll never overtake Nakky and Chisa, but she seemingly has taken over Maimi. My final point that I wanna make is I'm <i>really</i> quite surprised how high Takechan is on this list, because I <i>really</i> don't like her, but I guess when I think about it, there are members I <i>really </i>do like less than her. Surprisingly, Captain is third to last, but I know why this is: it's been literally nothing about her appeals to me. Nothing is wrong with her to me, but I just don't like her at all. That's what it is. And of course, Momochi is last because she's just so...err...special.</b></div>

(as of January 2015)<b>Hi everyone, so I stole this idea from Linzy, but I thought it would be nice to rank each of the 5 main groups in Hello! Project in terms of my bias towards them (I'm not counting Country Girls or the new Kenshyuusei group, because we don't know enough about them yet.)</b><br />
<b>So, I decided to start with the group with the most history, Morning Musume! Now, remember this ranking is of January 2015, so if my ranking changes drastically, I'll make another post about it. Anyway, LET'S STAATOOOO!</b><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Maria is a twelfth gen member, so I know I shouldn't be picking on her so harshly yet, but there's something about this girl I just don't like. I think it's partly her half-Western looks, partly her pre-debut popularity, and partly an inexplicable air I get when I look at her. I honestly don't believe she'll grow on me even after debut, and while I have nothing against the girl herself, she just really doesn't appeal to me. </b></div>

<b>Even though I may not be a Riho fan, that doesn't stop her from being a lovable piece of poop. Still, that doesn't save her from a shit ranking. I really don't like Riho's apparent cockiness. Apart from that, I think she has a weaker singing voice yet she gets lead vocal parts. Of course, not as weak as Ogata's, but not as strong as Sakura's or Zukki's. Maybe if Riho were a back girl, I would like her more, because honestly, I'd rather her be in that place.</b></div>

<b>Now don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot for Fukupon, but she's just so...bland to me. Everything about her is bland to me: her looks, her personality, her singing voice. Even though her singing voice is one of the stronger ones in the group, nothing about Mizuki really stands out to me like it should. This is why she has such a low ranking.</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Yes, I do love Maachan. However, I do not love the act she puts on. She acts cute while putting on an eerily high-pitched singing voice, and I know it's just not her. I'm not sure if it's Tsunku forcing her to do that, or if it's Maachan's personal choice, but I'm just really not a fan of it. She does have a strong and stable voice, though, and I wish her abilities were utilized more in the group.</b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Ogata is a funny girl with a lot of personality. This was proven through her old Twitter account. Yet she also knows how to keep her cool, which I like. I also think she has a mysterious and unique look, and she's just overall likable. The reason she's not higher on this list is simply because there are girls I like better, also she really cannot sing. Maybe her rank will move up when 12th gen debuts.</b></div>

<b>Oda is a natural beauty, I think. She also reminds me a lot of myself for some reason, with her reserved and serious nature. Her singing voice carries the group along vocally, in my opinion. Something I really love about her singing voice is that it can either be low and powerful or high and sweet, and they both seem 100% natural. This girl is underappreciated, I think.</b></div>

<b>This girl is full of personality. She's funny, sweet, caring, and humble. She has amazing and underutilized vocals. I don't think she realizes how truly amazing she is. I think my favorite thing about Zukki, though, is the body positivity she promotes. She makes curvy girls around the world know that they can be beautiful too. The reason she's not higher? Again, I'm just more biased towards other girls.</b></div>

<b>No doubt the prettiest of the 12th gen members, Haga automatically draws me to her. I like her maturity for her age, for she is only twelve, but acts and looks like a much older girl. At times, her face reminds me of Sayu, and I think that's cute. At first, I was skeptical of Tsunku's reason for choosing her, but now I see that she's a great addition to the group.</b></div>

<b>Daishi is fabulous, I think. She always radiates a lot in PVs, and although she may not be the most talented in the group, she definitely brings a sass and presence that I really appreciate. I think as she grows older, she just becomes more and more beautiful, and I look forward to seeing what she will do in the future. She is also a great rapper!</b></div>

<b>Eripon is really something special, I think. It's a shame because she's so underappreciated. She's not a great singer, but she has a really interesting face plus she's a decent dancer and rapper. I think Eripon has a really realistic personality, and like Zukki, I think she's relatable. For example, she fangirls over Gaki just like us fans and wotas would fangirl over idols, too. She doesn't seem fake and that's something I really appreciate about her.</b></div>

<b>Miki is just a little ball of cuteness, isn't she? For one, she's a great singer. She's also super irresistible, I just wanna hug her!

With her tan skin, naturally lined eyes, and teethy smile, she's a charmer. Also, I love her sense of style and think it's really hot. Her singing voice has got to be my favorite part, though.

<span style="color: lime;"><b>The girls look flawless. The green-screen is simply beautiful. There was a lot of aesthetic thought put into this PV, something not usually achieved by Hello! Project.

<span style="color: lime;"><b>I think every Hello! Project wota can agree that ºC-ute produce the best quality songs and PVs in Hello! Project. In this PV, their outfits are amazing, the pole dancing is amazing, I love that some of it is filmed outside, and I really appreciate that they stuck to a black-gold-silver color scheme, I think it really makes the PV pop. Not to mention, the song is amazing.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: lime;"><b>Now, this PV may be very simple, but it does not mean it stops anything short of great. The close-ups are very well-timed and I really love the shadowing in this PV. Not to mention, the song is one of Berryz Koubou's best. A+, Tsunku.</b></span></div>

<span style="color: lime;"><b>It's funny that one of the best PVs of the year doesn't even go to a group, but anyway, this PV is great. I think it's really worthy of a Sayu graduation PV, and the special effects, though simple, really work. Plus, Sayu looks flawless!</b></span></div>
