Back to Morning Musume Lyrics
First Time review
Buy OS ver. at Yesasia's [US | Global] site
Morning Musume's music is cutesy, cheerful pop. Bubblegum music, if you
will. Even the lyrics are sweet & simple. But of course the music is
catchy & the Musume voices are nice & at times beautiful. A plus for guys:
they all have a kawaii look so just getting this album for their pics will
probably be worth it. :)
Actually, all of their songs aren't the happy type; there are a few moody
songs as well as pretty ballads.
So, if you like the singles of Morning Musume, I recommend this album
because the rest of the songs are great as well.
1. Good Morning--A great opening song that will surely give
you a good morning. :) The Musume voices are cute & cheerful as well
as the song itself.
2. SAMAA NAITO TAUN--(Summer Night Town) A single. A moody
sounding dance song, but it's catchy. Everyone knows that "daikirai
daikirai daikirai....daisuki" part. (make up your minds!!!)
3. Dounika Shite Douyoubi--(Somehow on Saturday???) This
song sounds like a Japanese-style disco song. Reminds me of the
music of the Japanese 70's duo Pink Lady.
4. MOONINGU KOOHII--(Morning Coffee) A single. This is the
reason why I got this album. It's a cute, feel-good type of song
with cute vocals.
5. Yume no Naka--(In my dreams) I love this song!!! It's
a sweet slow one & their voices are so delicate, but during the
chorus, the lead Musume has a vulnerable sounding voice. The music
gives me a nostalgic feeling.
6. Ai no Tane--(seeds of love) A single. Another great
cheerful song.
7. WAGAMAMA--(selfish) A moody, semi rock ballad type. It's
pretty good.
8. Mirai no Tobira--(door of the future) They sound like
they're having fun in this one. During the verses the music is
medium-paced robotic sounding R&B, but when the chorus comes, the
pace quickens & the music becomes Morning Musume (cheerful) sounding
again.
9. Usotsuki Anta--(you liar) See description of track 7,
but this one is a bit more folkish.
10. Samishii Hi--(Lonely Days) A soft & bittersweet slow song.
Not quite a lullabye, but it's peaceful like one. The harmonies are
beautiful in this one.
Rating 8 out of 10!!!
