^ very true :laugh

I love the new Mano song :yes her voice is really improving! I also like this song way more than summer party, can't wait for the pv/covers

The new manosong isen't bad at all, but it's still not enough to grasp me.

I didn't listen to ManoEri's song yet, I'm expecting it to be boring as usual.

Here's my ranking =3

1. Michishige Sayumi
2. Kamei Eri
3. Linlin
4. Takahashi Ai
5. Tanaka Reina
6. Junjun
7. Niigaki Risa
8. Mitsui Aika
9. Kusumi Koharu

Here's mine in descending order:

Ai takahashi

Eri Kamei

Kusumi koharu

Reina

Sayu..

Oh wow, i just listened the new Mano song and it really reminds me of Christmas. Must be the background!

Yeah, and because you've been talking about this, my rankings are...
1. Koharu Kusumi
2. Eri Kamei
3. Risa Niigaki
4. Ai Takahashi
5. Reina Tanaka
6. Aika Mitsui
7. Lin Lin
8. Jun Jun
9. Sayumi Michishige

... I actually was thinking this the other day :D Because Aika has really started growing in me for some reason. I've always thought of her as the "one I don't like or dislike" but now I've really started liking that girl's voice and personality.

guess I'll do one too~ current line up ranking

1. Ai Takahahi
2. Risa Niigaki
3. Aika Mitsui
4. LL (went from bottom cuz of her solo song and cute bubbly personality)
5. Tanaka Reina tied with Kamei Eri
6. JJ
7. Sayumi Michishige
8. Koharu Kusumi

My Ranking:

1. Tanaka Reina
2. Niigaki Risa
3. Takahashi Ai
4. Kamei Eri
5. JunJun/Linlin/Mitsui Aika/Michishige Sayumi
6. Kusumi Koharu

I really can't give a ranking T__T I've been sitting here trying to make one and pulling my hair out XD I just seriously love ALL the girls :heart. I guess Reina would top my list since she's my fave, and Aika would be at the bottom since she's my least fave (but still, oddly enough, has been growing on me a hell of a lot xD) but the rest is just impossible :weep:laugh

Btw, Mr. Goto, I love your set :luv2 And paperitahra's too!

It is hard to make a ranking. I was just looking at my list and I realized I forgot Reina =x

Dance Shot!!


Close Up Black Version


The dance shot is to die for! XD

^Thanks for posting the videos. I like the dance PV.

This is probably the first time I've really enjoyed dance/close-up shots. Most of the time I just overlook them :laugh Thanks.

Also, not to ***** myself out but I posted all of the member's mic recordings for Nanchatte Renai if anyone cares - it shows how they *really* sound. Koharu's is a lot better than her previous recordings..most of them aren't too bad. Gaki's is kind of rough.

^ :O Thanks for that! I'm listening to Koha's now... and wow, I hear improvement :heart2 I noticed even in the MusicJapan perf and some other one that Gaki was having a bit of a tough time with her parts.

Oh and, I'm sure everyone knows this by now, but Momusu didn't get the #1 spot for Nanchatte Renai, due to some weird artist I've never heard of releasing some summer single about suns or something.

EDIT~ After listening to a few more of them, I have to say, the best were probably Ai/Reina/Eri. Well, it's not a surprise with Ai, of course :laugh And Reina, well, you can really hear just why she's a lead. Her voice is really consistently good, and she wasn't off at all. Eri was also really good, I've been loving her voice lately, she definitely trumped Gaki this time. Eri totally deserves more lines :D

I'm listening to them right now, hee hee. Holy crap, Koharu has improved! :D

EDIT: And wow, Ai and Reina are great! Eri's pretty good too! :D :D

Koharu does sound a bit out of breath at the end..if I remember correctly, her Naichau Kamo recording was almost laughable because of how out of breath she was.

I agree kusumi didn't sound too bad in her first line. Eri was flawless. Sayu is still painfull though. =X Ai's perfect as always, I loved her solo of COSMOS too, listen to it before I go to sleep. ^_^

Humorous subtitle for a recent MM commercial of them in their single outfits while fishing:

IMO, it looks like they were thrown out of UFA, haha.

Risa...what happen ...I love you but the lines in the recording for NR..ummmm lil off and Ai never disappoints me ^^v
Eri is gettttttttttttttttter great and so is the miracle.....btw
LLcoolJ sounds so funny when they're doing the rapping part XD
like they're singing too loud in the mic hahaha
sayu...errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

arghh! as much as i love ayu.... i hope she moved here single release or maybe momusu should have moved it back a week... NR is such a solid single! argh for the no.2!

oh well.

^ My thoughts exactly. :no Imo Nanchatte was way more deserving of the #1 spot than Sunrise/Sunset.

Nanchatte is amazing, a 40th single, and was promoted unlike any other H!P release, and Sunrise/Sunset was mediocre in every way - not just for Ayu, but mediocre in general.

It's really a shame... :no
