ELECTROCONVULSIVETHERAPY

I’ve just purchased Morning Musume’s new album, 10 MY ME. I am seriously digging this album.

All of the songs on this album are super catchy and they all could have been singles, in my opinion.

1. Moonlight night ～Tsukiyo no Ban da yo～

This song is FUCKING AWESOME. At first when I heard, “Electroconvulsive Therapy part 1″ I was like wtf? ITUNES BOUGHT THE WRONG ALBUM FOR ME. And then when the music started I was stunned. I wish there was a PV for this song. This is how every opening for albums should be. This one definitely hyped me up. I thought SONGS from Platinum 9 Disco was good, but this one blows SONGS out of the water. Without really understanding the lyrics, this seems like it would have an awesome dance accompany that is reminiscent to Thriller. Maybe like a Werewolf Aichan and a Zombie Gakisan. Super good start.

2. Kimagure Princess

This song is of course fantastic. It just gives me memories of Gakisan and Junjun shaking those delish bootays. I love this song. And I love the PV that went with it. And the booty shaking. And the dancing. Oh, and the booty shaking.

3. Genki Pika Pika!

When I first read the title of this song, I had super high hopes. And they were completely met. This is the type of song that Momusu should sing. Peppy tunes that could be openings or endings for anime shows. I could totes see a cartoon Risachan dancing with a Pikachu. *swoon* This is one of my favorites from the album.

4. Namidacchi

At first, this song has this really warm feeling balladlike pace. With lovely vocals too. And then it picks up with real heavy percussion and a nice bass line. And then it slows down again, and then picks up again. This song has a great balance between soft and hard. Sort of like the small calm-downs in Joshi Kashi Monogatari(when Kaorin and Konkon parts come up). AND THEN. The rap! YES. YESYESYES. I can’t wait to see this song in concert. And then the singing with just the piano playing at the end. A fantastic end to the song.

5. Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai

I listen to this song every day. I’ve fallen in love with it. It’s fun and and has good pacing. And all the girls are lovely in the PV. EspeciallyNiigakiinthemirrorscenes.

6. Ookii Hitomi

This song has a rock-techno vibe that I loved from the beginning. This is so like W that I think it makes me love it more. There was so much AutoTune that I thought Lil Wayne might make a guest voice appearance on the track(which would be bitchin amirite?). But even though AutoTune is lame, I love how it was used in this song. It’s continuing with the fun feel of the whole album. And I love that the 6th track has the Rokkies haha. They all did fantastic.

7. Ano hi ni Modoritai

Now it slows down with Leader and Subleader Gokkies. This has a real mature feel, perfect for the two in charge. This is a song I could listen to while trying to sleep. Not because it’s boring, but it has such a nice feel to it. There should be a lot more tracks with Ai and Risa together.

8. Nanchatte Renai

Easily one of the best Morning Musume songs EVER. EVER. That’s all I’ll say(which is a lot lol.)

9. Osaka Oshiinen

Haha this song. This song haha. If they don’t have this song in concert, then UFA is retarded. This is definitely a fun live song. All the dialog and all the harmonizing needs to be seen live. NEEDS TO BE SEEN LIVE.

10. Loving you forever

This is a nice balladesque song too. This, after listening to it a bunch of times, sounds like it’d be a great ending song for a concert. It has a nice long solo for Junjun and Linlin. Aika, too. This is also what I envision one or all of the Hachikkies will sing for their graduation.

12. Shouganai Yume Oibito

This is also one of the best Morning Musume songs ever. It’s cover is beautiful too! That’s all I’ll say for this too.

13. Ame no Furuanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou? (Chinese ver.)

I remember everything I thought when I first read that this would be on the tracklist for 10 MY ME. they were

• This has been on like 12 albums already right?
• Not all the Musume speak Chinese. Will this be okay?
• IceCreamusume did this already!

I was presently surprised by this version. Junjun and Linlin with the rest of the Momusu do this much better than IceCreamusume. They’re sound is much more involved and the harmonizing is always so pretty with this song. And when they sing this song live it’s very impressive.

So, all in all, if I had to rate this album, I would SERIOUSLY give it 5/5 stars. One of my favorite Morning Musume albums. I would definitely suggest this to anyone who liked Morning Musume.
