Not really into Otana no Tochuu as much as the other songs, I really love the full version of Shin Nippon no Susume! Thanks a lot for the links

Now I can officially say that Shin Nippon no Susume is not only the best song on this album but its one of the best s/mileage songs ever. Should have been a single... Sigh

Take-chan says they chose Yuugure Koi no Jikan for the solo shots because it was the most popular song with the fans

So glad they used those outfits for the Samui ne. Close ups, they should have released those on the Event V

Here's the US iTunes Preview for the album btw: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/2suma ... d643254704

You can preview the still unheard song, "Sayonara Sayonara Sayonara".

For me, this album is quite a winner.
1. Shin Nihon no Susume! -- Awesome, awesome, awesome. 5/5
2. Tabidachi no Haru ga Kita -- Just barely great, but still great and way better than just okay. 4/5
3. Otona no Tochuu -- Flawless. 5/5
4. Tenshinranman -- Mediocre and bland but not horrible. 3/5
5. Suki yo, Junjou Hankouki. -- Still a great single. 4/5
6. Watashi no Kokoro -- ...Yeah, no. 2/5
7. Yuugure Koi no Jikan -- Bland but kinda cute. 3/5
8. Nee Senpai -- Again, awesome, awesome. 5/5
9. Sayonara Sayonara Sayonara -- Loving this, not as great as some other tracks but pretty damn good. 4/5
10. Samui ne. -- Remains great. 4/5

Pretty much 1 song I don't like, and 2 songs that are a bit so-so. @.@ Tsoonk, good job.

This is so unexpectedly perfect.

1. Shin Nihon no Susume! - 5/5 - Ace song, a-side material, best non-single song in the album.
2. Tabidachi no Haru ga Kita - 5/5 - My... second or third favorite S/mileage song ever.
3. Otona no Tochuu - 5/5 - Again, a-side material, really strong song.
4. Tenshinranman - 4/5 - Cute song, I like it.
5. Suki yo, Junjou Hankouki. - 4/5 - I still like this a ton.
6. Watashi no Kokoro - 5/5 - I love this song, S/mileage's first good ballad-ish song.
7. Yuugure Koi no Jikan - 4/5 - See Tenshinranman.
8. Nee Senpai - 4/5 - Not as strong as Otona no Tochuu but still pretty great.
9. Sayonara Sayonara Sayonara - 3/5 - Just okay.
10. Samui ne. - 5/5 - Still my favorite S/mileage song.

I really needed this album, my H!P fandom hasn't been the strongest it has been lately. But I'm in love with this album.
