i got my review!
恋のABO: errr, i actually think this is one of my least favorite NEWS songs/singles. ever. XD
LIVE: this one is a really high-energy song. this is perfect for concerts! i like this one a lot. i definitely like it more than the little preview i heard earlier.
生まれし君へ: i don't know why, but i feel like i've heard this song somewhere before (whether it be another JE song or somewhere in J-pop, lol). it sounds so familiar! but i really like the song, it's really catchy. and i love the strings in the song. it's very pretty!
Supernatural: this is very laid-back song. OMG RYO SOUNDS SOUNDS SO BAD IN THIS SONG, LMAO. this isn't a "ryo" song. XD but i think i'll need to listen to this more.
秋の空: oh this is definitely one of my favorite songs. they sound so amazing in it! i really like NEWS' harmonies, tbh.
2人/130000000の奇跡: it's super pop-rock, lol. i think it's okay. it's not my favorite song.
Dancin' in the Secret: ouuuu, i think this is a great song, tbh. but i WANT IT TO BE SEXIER. come onnnn. YOU CAN BE SEXY, U KNOW.
ワンダーランド: omg, you know, this had great potential to be an AMAAAAZING electronic, dance song. i'm so disappointed the pop elements overtook it. man...i probably would've ranked this album higher if it was, lmao.
さくらガール: i love this song! one of my favorite NEWS A-sides, tbqh.
BE FUNKY!: great album track. i loved it when i heard it a while back. catchy, great vocals, etc.
D.T.F:
NO.
内容の無い手紙: i rank this high with Umareshi Kimi he and Aki no Sora. AWESOME, AWESOME SONG. i really like this type of song for them. if Hilchryme, GReeeeN, etc. would just compose all their songs, i'd be grateful. LMAO.
エンドレス・サマー: i think they guys sound so great in this song. but i'll need more listens.
Share: i'm so glad they released a studio version of this song! great, great track.
Forever (Unplugged Ver.): very nice! i love the original, so i'm glad to hear a stripped down version of this song.
overall, i actually think it's a solid album! but...here's the downfall, i think, to it. the album doesn't really have...the Ai Nante, code, SNOW EXPRESS, Koiyake, Love Song tracks to it. (basically, really stand-out tracks that define the album). i think it's great that it's really consistent though. i wasn't expecting much.
