2000 Best

VCD

1. Love Machine: This opens with people on the street watching new billboard posters for Morning Musume being put up. This then moves into one of my favorite songs. It's also amazing the number of different costumes used in the video. The end of the video goes back to the street, inside a record store where a guy is listening to the song on headphones while copies of the cd are being bought from the display in front of him.

Audio cd 1

1. Love Machine: one of my favorite.

2. 21 Seiki ("21st Century"): Another one of my favorites.

3. Furusato ("Hometown") A gentle, good song.

4. wasurerannai ( "I Won't Be Able to Forget") Definitely not one of my favorite songs..

5. Amanatsu no Kousen ("A Ray of Light in Midsummer") One of theirs that I do like.

6. Koi no Shihatsu ressha ("Loves First Train") A pretty good. song.

7.Memory Seishun no Hikari: a good song, but I can do without the rap part.

8. Happy Night. One of my absolute favorites.

9. Never Forget. Pretty good.

10. Daite! Hold on ("Hold Me! Hold On Me"). One of my favorites.

11. Tatoeba: ("If") Good song.

12. Summer Night Town: one of my favorites.

13. A memory of Summer ‘98: One of their gentler, really nice songs.

14. Morning Coffee:

15. Ai no Tane: another of my favorite songs.

16. Koi no Dance Site ("Love's Dance Site") A 7:58 version of one of their best songs, the one where they sound like martial arts and a cat (meow, meow, meow, etc.) . It's a somewhat softer version of that song, though, with, I think, a very slightly different beat. It's really neat.

Audio cd 2

1, 2,3,4: Seinaru Kanega Hibiku Yoru. All three are the same song, but with each one featuring a different lead singer, 2 with Iida, 3 with Ishiguro, and 4 with Yaguchi. A very good song no matter who leads.

Songs 5-10 are done by Tanpopo.

5. Tanpopo ("Dandelion"): A nice, gentle, slow-paced song.

6. Rainy Day. Nice, soft song.

7. Motto: It's a good song.

8. Ai no Uta: Some very unusual guitar work on this song, almost like an old west ballad. The song itself is good.

9. Last Kiss: Good song.

10.Jikan yo Tomare: Sort of an odd song with an odd beat, but not bad.

Songs 11-16 are Nakazawa Yuko

11. Junjoy Koushinkyoko : Another good song .

12. Heisei Rhapsody: This seems to be a copy of song 11, maybe some minor difference that eludes me.

13. Odaiba Moonlight Serenade (with Takayama Gen): The song sounds sort of Spanish/Italian to me. An all-right song.

14. Kobito-tachi no Ballad: Takayama Gen is in this song, also, and it sounds very much like song 13.

15. Karasu no Nyoubou: Fairly good song, but not great.

16. Otonabashi: Another decent, but not great song.

17. A different version of Love Machine, one of my favorite songs..
