It's kind of obvious the others don't know what a female orgasm feels like since they're all dudes.

Or having a child. OR wearing a wedding dress, carrying a S&W 500 revolver for a photoshoot.

Tegami, Himitsu arrangement (not better than DO version but different), Sake to Geko, Killer Tune, Ikiru, Zettai Zetsumei to an extent (definitely written for Shiina Ringo's sexiness infusion) and some excellent APPA songs like Gypsy, VIOLENCE, Sono Toumei, Otome no Solo, Kimochiyo, A lie/Uso? and Hana no Hikari (featured in Ultra C extras) leads me to keep my enthusiasm towards Izawa's composition intact. I'm not expecting a consistent album at all but still a collection of good songs (hopefully great ones too), such as deadgrandma said.

At least I'll have a Japanese version of Tengoku, exactly what I was asking for from a song I enjoy a lot but could have been more fluent/fluid in its words and the way they go along with the music.

There's at least a tiny chance that the new Tengoku will be a Shuukyou-type track!

^ The album would be worth it just because of that. Everything else would be accessory.

My first thought was, "It's fucking Senkou Shoujo again." Same length and everything.

This album will definitely not redefine "J-pop" if that's really what they were hoping to do, but I have no new complaints. It's basically Sports 1.5 if that excites you. This band is at a plateau and they don't seem to be able to the heights they've shown flashes of. It may not be new and exciting, but at least it's not a freefall like Variety was.

21st Child sounds like the opening of a Japanese dating sim visual novel thing.

I...oh. Hrm. Hm. =/

Are you talking about what the song sound like or just the name of the song? Cause I don't get what you mean.
