ahhh… it’s a cover album. that explains why these track names all look familiar…

★★ honey dance is catchy as hell!
★ boku no suki na sensei: based taste, interesting approach to the cover. it feels a bit melodramatic, no?
be my baby: oh, the lyrics are translated? or are new ones pasted over? docchi is fine,1 but this is honestly, honestly giving me Weezer cover feelings.
★ come on
★ love letter, for that guitar in the background. i want to place it on my tongue and let it dissolve!
★★ video killed the radio star. although… i think it took a severe hit in the lyrics department. like, i’d consider the original’s lyric sheet to be pretty dense. it feels bad to me in a way that be my baby perhaps doesn’t, but maybe that’s because i don’t consider be my baby to be a lyrical standout – everything it says can be accessed through another set of sentiments.
★★ nante ttatte idol! it fucking rocks! or maybe i just love this sort of chorus construction!
★ riding on the rocket

Footnotes

  1. docchi is, actually, not fine. the album came with printed lyrics and this one really reduces the lyrical complexity to a set of i-love-yous… not that there was much to begin with, but this is like kindergarten-level! the sort of things you’d say to a literal baby to make the baby feel loved! and my aoa just doesn’t go that low!
