║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ So I'm finally getting around to reviewing the long awaited ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Battle And Romance album Momoiro Clover released. I definitely░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ wasn't disappointed! I've listened to every song quite a bit ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ over the past week, just to let everything really sink in. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Here are my thoughts, track by track. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 1. Z Densetsu ~Owarinaki Kakumei~ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This song is a perfect way to start off the album, as the intro░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ really works as an opening track. The song itself is just pure,░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ crazy Momoclo fun. Each girl is announced by her color and ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ sings a line or two about herself, making this a good ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ introduction for anyone trying to figure out who is who, or ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ which voice is which. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Everyone is good here, vocally, although I'm not too big on ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Ayaka's super-high "shinjite" near the end. Kanako is ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ particularly enthusiastic in her lines in the refrain, ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ especially her "zettai akiramenai! WE ARE!". Momoka's voice is ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ amazing as always, and Reni and Shiori turn in typical good ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ performances. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Oh, and the Akari reference? Love it! ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ "BLUE!" ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ "Ahà" ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 2. CONTRADICTION ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This track is not quite what I expected from Momoiro Clover ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ actually, with the electronic rockish sound, it almost sounds ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ like something that BeForU would have had on one of their ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ albums. Except it's not awesome enough for that. But I digress ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This song isn't bad, it's pretty cool and all, but isn't one of░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ the best tracks. This album is full of songs that are AMAZING ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ and this song isn't at that level, but it is good. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ CONTRADICTION has a much more serious tone than the previous ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ track, with insistent pacing and good vocals. I think Shiori's ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ "Please!" is my favorite part. Overall, the song is good, not ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ great, but good and still a worthy addition to Momoclo's ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ discography. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 3. Mirai Bowl ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This song was fantastic when they released it as a single and ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ it's still great, even with Akari's parts replaced. Most of ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ them were good, anyway. I really love Momoka's incredulous ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ "HONTO?" that replaced Akari's. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ However, with the good comes the bad. Ever since I heard their ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ cover of Words of the Mind, I hated Ayaka's rapping (that song ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ should have been a Momoka/Akari duet, seriously). Ayaka ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ replacing Akari's rapping here is completely different in style░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ and doesn't sound too great in my opinion. She is my least ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ favorite Momoclo member overall due to her vocals crossing the ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ line from "withstandably cutesy" to "STFU cutesy" for me, and ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ yeah, she crosses that line in the rap, so I'm not a fan. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Thankfully Kanako and her awesomeness saves the day when that's░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ done and all is forgiven (not really). ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Overall the new version is mostly good, but would have been ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ better if they had just left the rap out entirely. The single ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ version with Akari is what I'll keep listening to when I want ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ to hear the song. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 4. Wani to Shampoo ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ YABAI!!! ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This is my favorite of all the brand-new tracks! It's exactly ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ the kind of crazy wacky fun stuff I love to hear Momoclo do. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ The song starts off calm enough, with some very nice vocals ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ from Momoka. However, it's the last day of summer and they have░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 80 pages of summer homework they have to do, and the song ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ becomes crazy and ridiculous. There are questions and (wrong) ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ answers, lots of yelling, and the refrain gets more and more ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ frantic as the song goes on. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ I love the question parts. Kanako's "QUESTION!" is awesome, and░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ I also LOVE Ayaka's wrong answer to "where do you live now?" ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ "YES I DO!". See, I don't hate her, she has her moments. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This song will probably appeal to anyone who liked the crazy ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ changes of pace in Pinky Jones, but give it a shot even if you ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ didn't like that one, it's great fun. One of the albums's best░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ tracks. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 5. Pinky Jones ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Speaking of Pinky Jones, here it is! The re-recording without ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Akari, that is. Reni gets her solo in the middle and does a ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ pretty good job with it (I think it was a little low for her ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ register, but it wasn't a disaster like Ayaka's rap so). Ayaka ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ sings the line with Akari's name in it, which works since the ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ line with her own name was in unison. Momoka and Kanako get ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ some of her other lines. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This song is one of my favorites from Momoiro Clover, but it ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ didn't start out that way. This song took a bit to grow on me, ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ but once it did it was one of my favorites. I would recommend a░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ few listens before condemning it for that reason. It's fun and ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ pretty crazy, with a fun instrumental (sitars?), fun vocals, ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ and lots of energy. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 6. Kimi no Ato ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Momoclo goes all soft on us for this one. Awwww. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This song replaces Kimi Yuki as Momoclo's slowest song. I think░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ that Kimi Yuki was much stronger than this one, but they do a ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ good job here too. The tune is pretty nice and we get some ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ really nice vocal performances from Kanako and Momoka ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ especially. I expected Reni to be the best on a slower song ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ like this one, so go figure. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This is not one of my favorite tracks on the album, since this ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ kind of song isn't what I really look for in Momoiro Clover, ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ but I don't mind it. It's no Wani to Shampoo though. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 7. D no Junjou ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Aww yeah. Momoclo's strongest single this year, in my opinion. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ It's the same as the single track, so go read my review of that░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ so I don't have to type it all out again. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Short version: This song rocks my socks. LOVE. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 8. Ame no tajikarao ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Maybe the weirdest song on the album? I absolutely LOVE ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ everyone's vocal performance on this one, actually my favorite ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ vocals on the album in the verses. The whole song has a um ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ cultural? feel to it. The verses sound amazing, the chorus ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ isn't as good as the verses, though. They sound better ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ individually than in unison here. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This song is really cool, a very different sound to the whole ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ thing and one of the standouts on the album for me. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 9. Orange Note ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Not gonna lie, this was the song I was looking forward to the ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ most, and it doesn't disappoint, even without Akari. In fact I ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ would say it fares the best out of all the songs that had her ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ removed from them (even if the version with her was never ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ released on CD, it was performed at pretty much every concert).░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Every part of this song is catchy for me, the verses, refrains,░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ bridges, rap, all of it. The entire song gets caught in my head░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ all the time, whether it's one part or another. The climax of ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ the song with everyone's overlapping solos is gorgeous in ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ particular. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Shiori's rap pleasantly surprised me, too. She did it ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ flawlessly. I never thought it would come off this good. She ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ did awesome! Everyone else is good too, of course, but I gotta ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ give her props for that rap. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Orange Note just might be my favorite song on the album. This ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ is Momoiro Perfection. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 10. Stardust Serenade ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ They had to get a reference to their label in there, didn't ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ they. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This is the low point on the album for me. It's not awful or ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ anything, but it's boring and didn't catch my interest, even ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ after a few listens. On the plus side, if this is the worst ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ part of the album, then that makes this album pretty friggin ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ awesome because even this song isn't what I'd call BAD, it's ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ just a little bland. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 11. Kono Uta ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Momoclo falls back on something more traditionally pop than ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ crazy in this one, and the result is a pretty enjoyable, but ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ not incredibly memorable, decent song. It's better than the ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ previous song, but it's no Orange Note or anything. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This Song (hehe, get it? Kono Uta, this song. Nevermind.) is ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ typical Jpop idol fare, but with Momoclo doing it, it manages ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ to be pretty good anyway. I really like the faster parts, where░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ the girls try to sing their lines quickly in such a short ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ burst. The refrain is pretty typical stuff, and the song ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ climaxes with one of Kanako's solos, like she does. Nothing ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ remarkable, nothing horrible or anything, just pretty good. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Not too much more to say about This Song (get it??). ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ 12. Momoclo no Nippon Banzai ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Does anyone here remember Mini Moni's Rock N Roll ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Kenchoushozaichi? ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Momoclo take us on a tour of Japan, going over all the ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ prefectures and sometimes give a food, or something that the ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ area is known for, all worked into one crazy song. The song is ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ all over the place stylistically, so it's VERY Momoclo and a ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ great bonus track to have on the album. Plus it can be ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ educational for us gaijin who might learn something new from ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ it. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ My favorite parts were Momoka's, going over some of the foods ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ in the Osaka area, complete with dialect. I'm also a big fan of░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Shiori's "Ehehehehe" Sign me up for the Momoiro Clover Jet. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ And with that we're done. Almost. Lets not forget the bonus ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ disc of solos Actually, I wasn't too impressed overall with ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ them, compared to the other material, most of them don't quite ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ stack up. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Kanako's engrish was fun, but the rest of the song was boring. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Shiori's was a very typical idol song, that didn't really catch░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ with me at all. Momoka's was a ballad that had nice vocals, but░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ultimately was boring. Ayaka's sounded like the return of ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Rainbow Pink, but with some awkward forced sexy in the middle. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ But, there were 2 that I really liked. Reni's Koi wa Abare Oni ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Daiko was in an enka-style, and really surprised me it was very░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ good! I like Reni's voice in the first place, but it really ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ seemed to suit this style well. I loved it. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ And then there was Akari's solo, fall into me. She was cut out ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ of all the album tracks, only to have a solo on the bonus disc.░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ How that makes sense, I don't know, but I don't care because ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ this song is SO GOOD. Akari raps the verses, in her own cool ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ style that she really owned in her time in Momoclo. Then when ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ she gets to the refrains, she sings, and she sounds amazing. I ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ don't understand, when she left she said she didn't think she ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ could sing well? What?? The vocals don't sound like anyone else░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ could make them sound, but they are beautiful in her own style.░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ This song makes me want her to have a solo career. This song ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ alone makes me happy for the bonus solo CD. ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ Anyway, bonus solo disc aside, this album was insanely good and░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ the new material was very good overall. Some new favorites in ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ the new album tracks, and many solid additions to the Momoclo ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ discography. If this album isn't my favorite of the year, I ░█░││ ║
║ ││░█░ will be VERY surprised ░█░││ ║
