[ALBUM] AKB48 - 1st ALBUM [Koko ni Ita koto] - 2011/6/8

Yaay!

My oshi and another member I really like
This totally makes up for the Jurina photos I got last time...

But I always thought the photos where randomly selected, or do the shops always give one specific photo?
Just wondering...

 

^ The shops always give one specific photo with first press orders. There's also a random photo inside out of 14 possible photos.

 

Quoting from Jph!p

HOOLLLYYY FFFFFF I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS THING IN MY HANDS!!!

 

^ OH MY WORD. TOMOCHIN & MAYUYU. /faints

 

Never been a huge Mayuyu fan, but she looks so cute in those pictures And Yuko just looks... And Tomochin! I NEED THIS SO MUCH!

 

I love it how Mika Ninagawa always has so much colors used in her photos! So glad she was involved in this thing.

I decided that I'll wait till the album is released until I listen any of the songs. Because I'd like to listen those from my own copy.

 

Where do I order The theater ver? (ive ordered the limited edition) and does the theater ver. come with a photobook? And if so does it come with a different pb?

 

Puppet Mayu is so cute, like a doll
Hope I get it before I leave for my trip *fingers crossed*

 

I think all pictures of the album should be in spoilers. Some people may want to be surprised when they get their copy.

 

Does anybody know what "HMV Collaboration Notebook Series "HMV x AKB48 Notebook Vol.2"" is? Is it better than the photo that comes with the CDJ order? Because I'm getting Yuko's PB (hopefully) and wondering if it's better to get them both from HMV or CDJ.

 

GAAAAH!

Those pics look SPLENDIDLY MAGNIFICENT!

I´ll try not to look to much, since I do like being surprised,
glad I haven´t seen most of my favorites yet, so I have even more to look forward to

If you want to upload previews, it would be nice if you could put them under spoiler tags.

Wow, leaked so early. Awesome, thanks !

 

Quick thoughts on the new tracks... (minus Shoujotachi yo and Koko ni Ita Koto... because those are "old" now)

2 Overtake (Team A)
SO boring. I feel like I can only hear the front girls and Asuka.

3. Boku ni Dekiru koto (Team K)
I can't decide if I like this one. But the chorus is really good, as we already knew from the Red Cross commercials.

4. Renai Circus (Team B)
I'm glad this is the most interesting Team song. It's a little cute for my tastes, but at least it's original. Now I have to listen for Natsuki...

5. Kaze no Yukue (Kuramochi, Sashihara, Takahashi, Oshima, Minegishi, Kashiwagi)
This is super pretty and seems like it would have a nice dance. Pretty similar to the preview.

6. Wagamama Collection (Oota, Maeda Ami, Komori, Sato S, Watanabe, Matsui J)
I'm impressed that I like this one. It reminds me of Love Jump given it's repetitive lyrics. But cute? The solos in the bridge are kind of nice, too.

7. Ningyo no Vacances (Takajo, Nito, Yokoyama, Kasai, Kitahara, Sato A, Masuda)
This is really soothing and MINT like, so it didn't sound too different from the previews. I think I llike it for the most part, though.

8. Kimi to Boku no Kankei (Maeda Atsuko, Itano)
What. It's perfect for these two, though. The happy side from Acchan and the electric side from Itano. Add weird talking throughout and you have the most produced song on the album.

9. IIKAGEN no SUSUME (Katayama, Kojima, Shinoda, Akimoto, Miyazawa, Matsui R)
I don't get how happy-sounding the verses are and how powerful the choruses are. The choruses are good though. I'm happy with them.

10. High scool days (Team KKS)
It sounds like a medley of past AKB songs... like I feel like I've heard it all before in different contexts.

 

It's up at (apparently) 320kbps at Hello! Online, but I can't download it because of my ratio. Maybe someone can check, or upload elsewhere.

THANKS!

My opinion :
Kaze no Yukue > Boku ni Dekiru koto > Ningyo no Vacance > Wagamama Collection ≥ Koko ni ita koto ≥ Iikagen no Susume.

 

Spoiler

Kinda dissapointed with the team songs I was expecting them to be just as amazing as the Chance no Junban tracks (Renai Circus is better than Love Jump, though)

I kinda like the Acchan\Tomochin duet, but the talking is a little weird.

I really like the unit songs, Iikagen no Susume is probably my favorite, and I don't think it's biased

Am trying to not listen too much, which is a little hard

So far: Iikagen > Ningyo > Renai Circus > Kimi to Boku > Wagamama > Kaze no Yukue > High School > Dekiru koto > Overtake

Let's see how much this changes once I get my copy
