Help me!! b-sides:
1. Aishuu Romantic - totally love from first sight, I looove roboSayu
2. Watashi no Dekkai Hana - rythm is nice, Ayu rapping is cute and cool, even Haruna not bad
3. Nani wa Tomo Are! - it's cute but a bit bland. it's 3rd only because of Zukki lol
4. Happy Daisakusen - really cute and soft song
5. Daisuki Dakara Zettai ni Yurusanai - it could be my favorite of all b-sides, I like that type of songs, but vocally it not pleasant (and it's coming from person who looove Silver udedokei %))) Riho-Sakura don't sound good together

[AyuHikaru]

Bsides:

1. Aishuu Romantic - Look it's a shame that song is buried in the optional Bsides of Help Me!! It's good enough to warrant itself to an Aside or at least an album that makes it required listening. The only argument I can see against it ever being an Aside is the fact they would get Reina and Riho to sing it and it would lose all it's charm. Man though, if it was an aside with Sayumi, Mizuki, Masaki, and Haruna singing it I'd probably die. I don't know what Sayu's going to do when she graduates, but if she decides she wants to be a Technopop princess I probably wouldn't complain. I know Mizuki is there, but for some reason Sayu's squeaks and high pitched singing really make the song what it is. I actually don't like that Mizuki is doing her best Sayu impression throughout the song, because I know Mizuki is a much better singer than that, but whatever.

2. Daisuki Dakara Zettai ni Yurusanai - It has an interesting dynamic, though sometimes Riho and Sakura don't harmonize well together (That should come with practice) it still sounds good most of the time. It really reminds me of the ending song to an anime or something, mostly in the chorus and it's another really strong song. I really like the instrumental with the piano and the techno all mixing together. There isn't enough piano techno. Riho isn't singing out of her range and Sakura sounds nice and strong in a lower register (I fear they will squeak up her voice over time). Let's face it, we're listening to post-Reina Momusu here and... it's not that bad, actually.

3. Watashi no Dekkai Hana - They promised me a Reina/Haruna duet with Ayumin rapping and what I got was a Reina song with Haruna popping in her head once and a while with Ayumin rapping. BOOOO. DESPITE there not being enough Harunan, the song is really strong. Ayumi is a strong rapper (Shockingly) and really gives depth to the song. Haruna kind of has a Sayu like squeak in her lines, which has a nice contrast to Reina (Reina and Sayu tend to sound kind of awesome together for some reason) and when she actually sings at the end she.... doesn't sound bad, really. I could see this song being an Aside for a different group, it really hits the "Light Hearted Hip Pop" well that I used to listen to back in the day (It's in the same line of Soba Ni Iru Yo by Thelma Aoyama Feat. SoulJa except, you know, H!Ped up, and that song was like MY JAM for a year)

4. Happy Daisakusen - Sounds like a better Seishun Collection. I have to admit, all the girls sound really good here and the song is lighter, happier, and better than Seishun Collection. I bet this song would be awesome in concert.

5. Nani wa Tomo Are! - a better Pyoko Pyoko. I thought I was gonna hate it cuz that beginning was like "Sup PPU part 2" but it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. That Chorus is so catchy ><.

^ ^ ^Haruka! Climbed up them rankings, huh?

1. Sayumi - Of course. Getting hotter everyday
2. Reina - Freaking adorable in Help Me
3. Riho - Still awesome, but she's got A LOT of girls pounding on her door for her spot.
4. Haruka - The girl is just too awesome.
5. Mizuki - Becoming the girl I imagined her to be. Plus jail bait.
6. Eripon - Uniquely attractive. 4 thru 6 honestly are tied.
7. Masaki - It's good to see the silly kid back after her sickness.
8. Haruna - Pretty, funny little girl
9. Daishi - She's so low cause I like a lot of these girls. 7 thru 9 honestly are tied.
10. Sakura - She's growing on me. I want to see more of her and if she can live up to the expectations
11. Zukki - Poor Zukki... I'm waiting for her to join the others.

B-side ranking:
1. Watashi no Dekkai Hana: I LOVE this. It's so relaxing. I was a little miffed when I saw who Reina would be with, but she ended up doing almost all of the singing, so it's perfect. Ayumi's rapping is awesome. I love her rapping/speaking voice. Reina sounds wonderful as always, but I do wish she would sing just a hair lower. I just realized this is the third time in a row that Reina has been in my favorite b-side. First Watashi no Jidai, then Futsuu no Shoujo A, and now this. Very convenient.
2. Happy Daisakusen: Kind of a generic b-side, but somehow I really like it. It makes me feel happy, ha ha. It sounds a lot like something else. I love Sakura's lines.
3. Daisuki Dakara Zettai ni Yurusanai: Pretty cool. I'm not crazy about it, but it's good. Riho sounds mostly fine in this song.
4. Aishuu no Romantic: Typical RoboSayu track. I like it, but I liked the other ones more.
5. Nani wa Tomo Are!: I liked the intro a lot (before the squirrelly music starts), but the rest of the song is just a generic happy b-side and doesn't appeal to me too much. But Haruka's voice. <3 She sounds good by herself, but, more importantly, she makes the duet and group lines sound so much better. And that makes me feel glad that she's in Morning Musume even if she's not getting many solos. I am slightly irritated that she's in this song, though, because even though she sounds good, she doesn't fit this kind of song particularly well. Still, if she wasn't here, it would be a lot less listenable. But ... then that wouldn't matter because I don't really like the song. Anyways, I liked Masaki here. She sounds cute and fits the song better than anybody else. I loved the Haruka-Masaki lines. Haruka’s fullness and depth + Masaki’s youthful sweetness = win.

And I really want Reina and Sakura to get a duet for the next single because that's their last chance to do it. Please make it happen, Tsunku!

Help me!! b-sides ranking:

1. Happy Daisakusen
2. Nani ga tomo are!
3. Daisuki dakara zettai ni yurusenai
4. Watashi no dekkai hana
5. Aishuu no Romantic

Happy Daisakusen is really soothing and everyone's voice can be heard. The latter part alone makes it a winner for me. I'm glad I bought limited A. I wasn't expecting to like Nani ga tomo are! this much, then again, Seishun do mannaka was my favourite MM b-side in 2012. It might overtake Happy Daisakusen soon, it's my type of song after all. Daisuki is just a great song, Riho and Sakura's voices go so well together. Dekkai hana is surprisingly good, Ayumi really surprised me with her rapping skills, and Haruna is cute. Aishuu is just ok, it sounds messy and I can't bring myself to like it. It might take a couple of replays...
