After watching both parts of the pizza party, I'm really looking forward to YELLOW...!

It's a lot better than the leak from Amazon...w



While it's a little disappointing that Haruna didn't have any songs by her included and no solo songs this time around, YELLOW looks like it'll be a solid release that shows how much they have grown as a band until now. That Mami & Rina comparison to Lennon & McCartney seems spot on!



As expected, Heaven na Kibun is probably at the top of my "looking forward to list." While I was hoping that they'll experiment with some Japanese instruments, I like that they tried for an oriental sounding rhythm. The grungy sound just amplifies my excitement! Surprisingly, LOVE caught my attention. I wasn't expecting Tomomi to write a reggae-styled song. I'm really liking its island song sound.



Now for LOVE ME DO....

Normally, I don't really listen to poppy sounding love songs. Usually, the only love songs I listen to are sad and painful, or somewhat dark. LOVE ME DO is just so catchy and well made, yet still somewhat different from the usual pop-styled love songs. These kinds of songs are good once in a while, isn't it? w

Also, I'm kinda glad people pointed out the cowbell....It's nice, isn't it? Who else thinks it needs more cowbell? www





OK, stupid references aside...as for the MV, I liked it's colorful, pop setting. Not to mention, it's really, really cute...w Very 60's/70's-ish. As pointed out, it also reminded me of Ninagawa Mika's style. The various SCANDAL references were a plus. It was easy to feel a little jealous of the guy, but I kinda felt sorry for him at the end....w



Heh, I'm glad I wasn't the only who noticed that their eyes seemed bigger. Maybe it was the make-up, but Rina's usual big, round eyes seemed overwhelming powerful this time. Almost hypnotic....
