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!!!
