^ Psst, look at what I wrote for you above Ryo's pic.

Here's my review on the single.

Sakura Girl - Like I said before, best A-side since weeeek
Anata ga Tonari ni iru Dake de - Beautiful. I really like it. Gives me the old-school NEWS vibe. It's kinda like Zutto part 2.
FREEDOM - !!!! I can't believe how awesome this is. Sadly, I'm getting the LE only and I gotta save for Ayu's album already.
Love Melodies - Omg, the beginning of the song reminds me of the bicycle sound track for Pokemon games. It's fun and something to get happy to. I love it too. This song is a very good example where a song can be sweet and not cheesy. (SUMMER TIME and Push On! anyone?)
Sakura Girl (a capella) - I don't get it. Why is it called a capella when there's something playing in the background at the beginning? But anywho, it's pretty good. Shows that they actually can sing. Ahh, I miss their a capella tracks. The snapping is kinda unnecessary though imo.

This single is ACE! It's their best single since Hoshi wo Mezashite to me. Super awesome NEWS is back!

Anata ga tonari ni iru dake de lyric translation:

Spoiler:

The morning lit the street after the rain
Kids squint their eyes ohooo...

I think this is a lovely thing too
since I met you

Now I can admit it
you're my happiness

You...if you just stay by my side

The things I forgot hurted me
the most important things ehhh...

It seems that just staying together laughing
is a miracle

Now here I swear
in my own words
you...I'm going to protect you

Alone I falter.
Even if I have a steep wall in front of me
if we're together I can surmount it, let's stretch this arm now

That time it couldn't be expressed in the proper way
Now I can admit it you're my happiness
You...if you just stay by my side

I'm going to protect you

If you just stay here
Only this...
