[2015.07.15] Juice=Juice 1st Album : First Squeeze!

[Elpis]

Limited B would look way better if they didn't have all of those color blocks over the girl's shoulders, waists, and wrists. They all look pretty awkward on it, but Yuka definitely the most.

[JPope]

Lim A is really good, but the regular cover is the best of the three. The 20-years-younger me wants some of whatever the guy who did Lim B was on.

[Solarblade]

I'm curious with Ten Made Nobore! opening this album...I wonder if it's a new version or not because if it isn't that's literally only one track with Aina in it hahaha

[Solarblade]

Sorry for double posting lol

iTunes previews
 
Did answer my question above, Aina is only in one song on the album

[MejraThea]

Maybe mine messed up because I've bought the single off of iTunes before? But when I played the preview Aina was still there. Her "atarashii nakama yonde" was.

[Solarblade]

OH nevermind what I said, that's definitely Aina....huh...my bad XD

Ai Ai Gasa performance and Tsuzuiteku Story MV on Hello Station today.


I really like Ai Ai Gasa! It reminds me of early Tanpopo.

My favorite songs from this album are Ai Ai Gasa and CHOICE&CHANCE.

[WonderBuono]

CHOICE & CHANCE MV
 
I love everything about this. Why can't we get more interesting PVs like this more often? You know, the kind that actually seem like they had a plan in mind before filming. :D And of course the song is great; perfect for a lead song.

[Purin-chama]

Have any of the recordings for the cover songs

come out? I'm surprised not to hear or see any comments on them. I noticed they weren't on iTunes.

[Elpis]

^ iTunes doesn't seem to get cover songs or stuff composed by different people anymore. They don't have cha cha Sing, a lot of Buono!'s anime songs or Mikaeri Bijin. I'm assuming its the same problem with cover song disc.

Yeah, it's pretty good. Definitely a cut above most H!P videos. 

[Meikochi]

They sold almost 14k. Quite good for a H!P album, if I recall well.

[TicTacAnyone]

I want to have people buy the album if they like the music, but someone posted pretty much (or all) the songs online today.
 
Wondering on what you guys think about sharing them??

[momoirosaya]

The album has been available for free download since the day it came out.

Oh you mean from other people? It just feels weird to encourage sharing it hahaha, but I guess that's true. I don't download, more stream, so I guess I'm just now getting to it. My bad.

[MejraThea]

It depends on if people actually support the group. A lot of people download the albums, but then they buy them as well. This avoids having to open or use the CD. (E.g. I have downloaded most everything MM has put out, but I've bought most everything, too.) There are of course those that only download and don't buy. In any case, there isn't really anything wrong with sharing

[Solarblade]

So my overall thoughts on the album
 
 
===Disc 1===
A singles best basically (weird to see Wonderful World/Ca va Ca va? on disc 2, but I gather that it's because it's the only 2015 single they released so it'd make sense).  Most songs are still pretty great...still weird to see Aina only in one song more or less Ten Made Nobore! as the opening song (I'm personally getting tired of hearing this song)
 
===Disc 2===
I think I might be in the minority but of the 11 songs on Disc 2 the only ones that I really cared for were Ca va Ca va?, CHOICE & CHANCE, Erabareshi Watashitachi, and Mirai e, Saa Hashiridase!...the other songs to me felt like album fodder.
 
===Disc 3===
It's OK, I liked Magic of Love and Narihajimeta Koi no BELL, Scramble, and Last Kiss, but the other 2 just didn't register well?  I think of the small grouping songs...Tomoko and Karin should've switched spots (their voices sounded unfitting honestly).  
 
 
 
 
Overall, it was definitely worth the wait, now I wonder what their next single will be like!

Being covers of old H!P songs I think they're all Tsunku songs, so it's not quite like those. I think it's just its status as a bonus disc--like how the contents of the DVD/BDs of other editions aren't sold digitally, either.

[momoirosaya]

Erabare Watashitachi is the only new song by Tsunku. His songs are going to become a rare commodity outside of MM now :(

Even more rare--he actually did lyrics and composition, versus lyrics-only for some recent ℃-ute and Not-THE-Possible songs.

[WonderBuono]

That's because he wrote it before his hiatus; they've been singing it at concerts for a long time.
