[11/30] Kobushi Factory's 1st album : Kobushi Sono Ichi

[Menno]

Still a very decent run for an album, I remember BK albums that were down to #39 or lower by now. It could get decent sales if there's no hidden catch. It all depends on how the overall sales for the top 10 are, if they are low it can still turn out below the expectations.

Solid album. Rena sounds amazing. They all sound amazing. Awesome album.


Rena is awesome.

Kenmei Blues and Kobushi no Hana are really good songs. Zanshin is pretty neat too. Don't really care about the others. Not a bad sound for the group, though. Pretty un-H!P so that's probably why I'm not terribly fussed about most of it, but oh well. It happens. I'm just glad we're getting albums again, really.

The covers are pretty bad as I expected, but I tend to hate H!P groups covering other H!P songs (Halation Summer being one of the very few exceptions). Kawaii Kare is probably the least terrible, but it's still not good.

Also Berryz songs just don't sound the same without Berryz, lol. Especially not the older ones. Part of the charm of early Berryz songs is how bad the vocals were, dammit!

I hope they'll slowly have performances of all the original album songs on "Station". I think Juice eventually had all of theirs featured, and it's been a nice way to officially listen to them when you aren't able to purchase the original.
