I liked Wagamama, but Ai no Gundan sticks in my head more. Mostly those "honto?" parts. I do, however, agree that Wagamama got the better MV.

Yeah, AKB had some awesome songs back in the day.

^ SOMEONE ELSE who thinks like I do about Riho (it seems to be rare). Riho was a half-decent singer when she joined, but then they tried turning her into Reina/Ai 2.0 and ruined her voice. I listened to her Furusato solo on Hello Station out of morbid curiousity and she murdered the high notes SO ba...

It seems Karin tried to pull a Tsunku troll move there.

I actually want all of that too!

Harunyan looks a little like Sayumi in this picture.

Really? One white and one black boot. That just looks wrong. If they were going to do anything, it should've been either all black or all white, or, if they had to do two colors, black and white strips. BAD DESIGNER.

I finally got around to listening to Mellowquad and Hi-Fin's songs, and Hi-Fin totally blew me away. Take some of the weakest singers, you expect a bad song, vocally, but I completely love their song. They harmonize extremely well, and the beat is catchy. TOTAL HIT. As for Melloquad, the song was, y...

Yeah, it's an earworm.

I love the little grape drawings on Karin's shirt.

Masaki on a love ballad? That's different. I've always liked ballads (THEY'RE GOOD), but Masaki on a ballad... maybe she'll bust out some awesome vocals or something? Riho sure as hell surprised me on Cabbage Hakusho.

Oh yes, I almost forgot about JunJun's maternity outfit.

I agree with you, Anderei, solid colors (maybe even the members' image colors), without those tights, and maybe a velvety or just normal T-shirt fabric would've made those outfits a whole lot better.

I love them too! That must've been a fun cover to make.

Aw, sad that Cuca didn't make it, but maybe she might get the chance to become a kenshuusei someday. (Actually, I really wanted to see her real name too, heh)

Totally agree.

It seems Tsunku's putting people who sound good together in groups, finally. Although Kudo with Sayu is a little odd.

I have a feeling that this single is going to be really good, I just do.

Ai no Gundan, that sounds like a strong song! A chorus battle in Wagamama, that'll be cool to see.

Can't wait until they release the previews.

Yeah, Cuca definitely has stepped up on her vocals! Wonder if she's been preparing her vocals for entering the Momusu audition? I think I heard that she was going to audition.

I also have that must-read-all-books-in-a-series disease, too! That's how I've ended up with all of the Harry Potter and Heroes of Olypmus series so far (heh). Even being homeschooled, I still had to read other books, so that kinda sucked. There was a lot of Dickens involved (I feel your pain, Petit...
