[10/12] Morning Musume 12th Album "12, Smart"

[Sohee]

This is definitely in my top 3 of MM albums.
1. 10
2. 11?
3. 12?

Possibly.

[Starra]

11 was much better than 10.

My favourites are 1st and 6th.

[Sohee]

11 had some songs that owned some of 10's a lot, I agree. But 11 at a lot more 微妙 songs than 10 did, imo.

This one is so great though. @.@
Suki da na kimi ga & OK YEAH! are like... *-*

[UreChiissa]

10>12>11
Fantasy has that dark mature feel to it with really unorganized songs...

Oh and I looove Kaiketsu Positive A as well as Suki da na Kimi ga!
Those are going to be my favorites without forgetting Kare to issho! <3 <3

[Sohee]

Erina surprised me in Kaiketsu. In Otome no timing she obviously sings in that high pitched voice which isn't awful but a bit 'err'. BUT. In kaiketsu she sounds great o___o; Surprised is me.

Actually I consider 10 my me momosu's best album so far
Heck I'd go as far as to say it's the best H!P album (even better than the first ayaya albums)

Well, onto 12 smart. I really like this album, it's pretty well balanced and very enjoyable. Silver no Udedokei is my fav song out of it, but ofc I like the live version much better.

What this album doesn't have is a really powerful concert song, like genki+, songs, moonlight night or lucky girl.
But as my statement implies, we'd have to see the songs performed in a concert to better judge them, Kaiketsu Positive A or OK Yeah may be it

Also I miss an insanely addictive song like ooki hitomi (although juuichi didn't have one either)

Anyway I consider it to be slightly above Fantasy! Juuichi and a great album overall, but as most of the other albums I think we need to watch them performed live to get their true form

Platinum 9 Disc is better than All these albums though soo ...

Interesting. That's what I thought OK YEAH! was immediately as I heard it. And having listened to it some 10 times now, it really makes me think it might just be a rival to Say Yeah. wonder how many people will kill me for that statement... xD

Agreed. Suki da na kimi ga, is really really good. But it's lacking something from being as addictive as Ookii hitomi.

[DARC1993]

Ookii Hitomi will be like the best non group Album song ever in MM history...
