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

[LiamMusume]

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

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

[Sohee]

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.
