Yay, new thread! ^^ The 12th already!? o_O Kanjani8 is still on the 2nd. ^^;

The translation of "Minna ga iru..." is wrong. But I'm not too sure how to translate it correctly either, though it's not that difficult. The "hitotsu ni" kinda confuses me. O_o And "Towairo no Koi" should probably be "Eternity-coloured love/romance".

oops I also am not sure cos I copy the info directly from my music blog

I probably should just remove the English translations song titles now

[Neo Daydream]

"Minna ga Iru Sekai wo Hitotsu ni Ai wo Motto Give & Take Shimashou" is really weird to translate...

I guess I would say "Everyone in One World Let's Give & Take with more Love"... *shrugs*

I'm surprised actually they will be doing SNOW EXPRESS , I thought at most their hit single/s or something but still it's a nice change

at least they cleared about 200K + & above , singles wise although it's sad that Happy Birthday didn't crossed the 250K mark

oh well

[Brodie Boy]

Woot, sorry I havent commented on NEWS in ages. There new album is pretty cool and the first cover is really nice.

lol good for you Kaori

OK from the looks of things here via http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/3442964.html , they wouldn't be doing SNOW EXPRESS now at MSSL T_______________T

instead they will be doing Taiyou no Namida , SUMMER TIME & Happy Birthday .

eee why no more SNOW EXPRESS ? I was so looking forward to it

but on the brightside they will be doing 3 songs which's the most for an artiste on MSSL

[ka♡ri.]

OK. HERE WE GO.

01. weeek: My first and fave NEWS song ever! It never gets old, it's still really fun and cute~
02. STARDUST: DDDDDDDDD: REALLY BAD. I hardly even remember this and don't even want to. D:
03. SUMMER TIME: According to iTunes, last time I listened to this was April 18th...and I still don't like it. I don't hate it as much as before, but it still really annoys me.
04. SNOW EXPRESS: Ever since I saw N.E.W.S. DVD - I've loved this song! it's one of my fave NEWS songs and it sounds really great in the studio! I love it~ <3
05. Forever: This is a good song! I really like the beat and the singing - it's cool~ I'll definitely listen to this more~
05. MOLA: IS HE SRS!? LIKE IS HE KIDDING?! This is such a mess. I thought it was going to be hot but it was just a mess. Yamapi annoys me so much omg.
06. ケセナイ: iAt first I thought it was really boring - but once Tego got really into it, it got amazing. I LOVE this song! And Tesshi!
07. ordinary: Not as good as "code" but still a nice song! I like that it's more upbeat! It's really fun~
08. みんながいる世界をひとつに愛をもっとGive & Takeしましょう: At first I was like: "TEPPEN?!" And then I got annoyed and bored. But then Massu began singing and i loved it! So cool and cute!
09. ムラリスト: =/ Meh. It's OK, I guess.
10. 太陽のナミダ: According to iTunes, I haven't listened to this since March - LOL. And it was really refreshing to listen to it! It's always been one of my fave NEWS songs.
11. Smile Maker: Weird. I like it - but then again I kinda don't. It's weird. lol
12. Happy Birthday: Took a while for me to get used to - but I still love it! A HUGE step up from SUMMER TIME omfg. NEWS needs more singles like this! <3
13. FLY AGAIN: I can only remember the chorus, but it sounds really nice! A nice song to put towards the end. <3
14. 永遠色の恋: It's an OK song! Nice for closing the album.

All in all, this was an OK album. I should've bought "pacific" instead though. =/

^ lol Kaori you want to sell away your copy of color to me ? I don't mind (even though I have the LE copy of the album )
