01. Sayonara Crawl
Since it was May and AKB48 just released their spring single last February, let's meet with Sayonara Crawl, a summer number from this huge idol group. I wasn't anticipated this single so much since KAT-TUN released FACE to Face last week. Beside I currently kinda sick with AKB's nowadays and their releases were pretty much getting no impression from me since Ue Kara Mariko (exeption for GIVE ME FIVE! and UZA). Surprisingly I quite like this song and I think this one is so much better compared with Manatsu no Sounds good. Not at the level of awesomeness but it was very good, like bringing me a nostalgic feeling.
02. Bara no Kajitsu (Under Girls)
Of course Under Girls got their number too. It sounded similar with most of AKB's theater songs but with a better result. Strangely their vocal sounded nicer in my ears compared with Sayonara Crawl. A good remedy for Waiting room as I totally dislike that song.
03. Ikiru Koto (Team A)
I was so excited to hear what kind of song Team A will bring as they usually got the better songs. Doesn't mean that Team A is my favorite tho (actually, my favorite team is where Tomochin placed at *so bias*). And it proved to be true, this song is very deep and the girls sounded so good especially with Takamina leading most of part (she one of the best vocalists in AKB I guess... :D). It million times better than Ruby, tho many people said Ruby is a good song. Team A is the best with this kind of style.
03. How come? (Team K)
I kinda skeptical with Team K as lately they got the worst songs compared with others, I thought. But I glad that they gave the girls a chance to sing this kind of song that usually kept for Team A. Team K deserved it and Tomochin is so much good with the dance tune lol. It's pretty cool and if it compared with Team A's Ruby of course I will choose this one.
03. Romance Kenjyuu (Team B)
Soooo animesque~! Kojiharu leaded most of parts (which kinda strange for me who already used with Kojiharu's vocal in Team A's songs). Yet regarding with vocal Kojiharu is suit perfectly with the whole cuteness theme of this team (unlike Mayuyu who now moved to Team A and I hardly heard her squeaky voice in Team A's songs. Bad choice to shuffle her I guess... :p). I think this one is my favorite after How come? and I like it more than the main A-side. The "bang-bang-bang..." definitely it catchphrase!
04. Haste to Waste (BKA48)
This song presented by BKA48 (lol... such a nonsense) is the one I dislike from the single. It just like usual AKB song which done without much of better trial. Yet I admit the lyric is much of fun.
Soo... this song is broke Managuu record and I believe they deserve it since it so much better with it's predecessor. It actually quite healing me from my disappointment with AKB's nowadays especially with the chaotic things So long! offered (I never listen to ALL of the songs in this single after three days). Hope they'll keep up the good work (^ ^)
