This song kinda grew on me lol. PV's kinda boring though. Hikki sporting a pair of white headphones is sitting in a crowded train and umm...yeah that's about it really.XP I still like the song though.~<3

Some new info on Hikki's new album is out!=D I can't say much for the album cover. It's the standard slap-my-face-on-the-cover kinda thing. On a plain white background, with some ho-hum text font. Actually, wasn't Koda Kumi's anytime single like that too? XD Sheesh, they should like get ME to design the covers or something lol.

Well enough ranting about boring album covers. Not much is revealed about the tracklist, but I'll update when I get new info.

Ooo, and according to the official site, if you pre-order, you'll get a B2-sized original Utada Hikaru poster. I think. Google translate says 'first subscription privilege', so I guess that means 'pre-order'.^^

In any case, you can check it out by clicking on the album cover below, just like any of the other releases I've posted about before.

Crash! Hihi! Been a while since I posted, but I see Rift started his Reina Revolution thingy here already...<_< I wonder when he's gonna get round to continuing that PV review series of his.

Neways, I got to listening to Buono's latest single, so here's my 2 cents on it.

Review
Renai ♥ Rider
The song is so hyper-genki! I mean, compared to their first single, this song has a way faster beat. But still, I don't quite like it. o_o I dunno why really. I mean, hey, I'm all for the hyper-genki goodness, but this song simply did not hit home with me. In fact, at some point I actually felt that Renai Rider was a little too...umm..noisy. XD

Janakya Mottainai
When I first listened to this, I nearly thought I wasn't listening to a H!P song. I mean heck...that's way too rockish for H!P. o_O; Don't get me wrong though. Rockish can be good. Like Roman~My Dear Boy~. Gotta love that song!~<3 But in this case though, it was still a little disappointing. Cuz while Renai Rider sounded like these girls were force-fed with ten gallons of concentrated glucose, Janakya Mottainai ends up sounding comparatively flat.=( I still like the beat though.

Overall
Mm well...like, what can I say? I definitely preferred the first single over this one. Both Honto no Jibun and Kokoro no Tamago were catchy, and had this feel-good thing going on for them - especially Kokoro no Tamago if you know the real meaning behind the lyrics.^^

On the other hand, both the songs on this new single weren't as catchy and didn't leave as much of an impact on me.

So yeah, frankly I think this single sucks and sounds like some boring generic anime soundtrack.

Hm? Oh right...Rift said I should give some sort of rating when I do a review..umm let's see.

I give 2 berries out of 5.

This is my tribute post to the ever lovely Tanaka Reina of Morning Musume.

I first got to know about Morning Musume after discovering Goto Maki. Well, that's not entirely true, but it was only then that I actually tried listening to their music and started to like them. And out of the lot at the time, Reina stood out the most for me.

I think it was the eyes. Those cute wonky eyes of hers. But it was more than just that. Her sense of style was another plus point. She's the best-dressed Musume girl in my honest opinion. And I think she's got potential. She's got that almost similar star-like quality that I noticed in Gocchin. Very fitting I believe since Reina sorta looked up to Gocchin as her idol (or rival as she once puts it lol).

There was this one period of time on the Reina thread at Hello!Online that a bunch of us got really caught up in Reina fever...that we created our own army.XD Well sorta. The thread started growing rapidly with chitchat. Nearly got out of hand. But yeah, good times.

I coined the term Reina Revolution 07. It was a play on the words Renai Revolution. And 07 was well, Reina's associated number. We started making all sorts of things. Some of the stuff I made were...

Yeah...I was a little nuts then. So remember.
