Rainbow 7
This is an all-right type of cd, but not fantastic. It has several strange songs on it, several that are ok, and one or two that are actually noticeably good. Iroppoi Jirettai is the standout best song, although many people will like The Manpower. I think the first and last tracks should have been dropped and other songs used in their place. It's not necessarily the girl's singing that has a problem, but I think it's the song-writing and song-selection processes that need to be examined before the next cd album is released.
01. HOW DO YOU LIKE JAPAN? ~Nihon wa Donna Kanji Dekka?~ : definitely not very good.
02. The Manpower! This is not a song that I care that very much for.
03. Aozora wa Itsumade mo Tsuzuku You na Mirai de Are!: This one is, in my opinion, a fairly decent song, although not something that is really special in any way. Very listenable, but not something that will stick with you and have you humming it to yourself.
04. Osaka Koi no Uta: A pretty good song.
06. INDIGO BLUE LOVE: Another song that's pretty good. Not understanding, but still worth listening to.
07. Rainbow Pink: Strange, but it doesn't seem to work as well as the Sayonara song does.
08. Iroppoi Jirettai: This is the one with the Spanish influence and it's a very good song.
09. Mushoku Toumei na Mama de: A very gentle type of song. It's a good song, but it's not something as good as Furusato.
10. Purple Wind: Another decent song.
11. Sayonara See You Again Adios Bye Bye Chaccha!: This has to be one of the strangest songs that they have ever recorded; the title alone gives you a hint of what's to come. It's hard to decide whether this is a really decent song, or it's a really bad song, so bad it's actually good. It's funny, that's for sure.
12. Chokkan 2 ~Nogashita Sakana wa Ookiizo!~ (Mattaku Sono Toori Remix): Another rather strange song.
13. Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 3: I'm beginning to wonder how many times variations of this song will be recorded. It's a song that works all right once, but not three times, especially if you don't actually speak Japanese. The third song differs in a few minor, mainly annoying, manners, but still it's like wasting space on the cd.
