I got it last week, i haven't even had the chance to give it a proper listen... The blu-ray features two versions of the music videos for each of their three singles and the instrumental disc is a nice bonus.
I was expecting much more. It seems to me that most of the b-sides from their singles ( "Detekoi Tobikiri ZENKAI POWER!", "Izayuke wakataka gundan", "Shitto Chan", "Yume no Canvas") are more interesting than most of the new songs that were included in the album.
^strange. I have to listen to the B-sides, then. I wasn't blown away from the MVs - so I was expecting much less and was very surprised in a positive way. If I would have to find a negative point (and I really don't think that way) then, that the album is not as "colorful" as it could be - it is the same style all over more or less. But I am not complaining, I REALLY love that album. It will be one of my favorits this year for sure.
for me it's more interesting than Syachi's album but less than Ebichu's in STARDUST area my favorits of this year albums of Hauptharmonie and Minanaro. Yanakoto Sotto Mute's, Maison Book Girl's and NECRONOMIDOL's are wonderful too.
^I am with you in all you are saying here, except: as much as I love Ebichu, I think the 4th album is good but I can't bring myself to listen to it more. For some reason I like Ebichu at the moment only "live". Something is missing for me at the moment. But that is another topic. - Love the both new 3776 "eps".
I have same situation with Momokuro, I can not listen and watch them for 2 years already. With Ebichu still everything is fine, I listen them less than before, but I watch everything with them with great pleasure
^yes, same here. My problems with Ebichu began with the 3rd album. I wished I would like them like before (and Momoclo, too). But ... not at the moment. But I am glad that I love Batten ... so much at the moment.
(ps. With Necronimodol I have a similar problem: I loved their beginning - and now only in small dose. But of course I have things like amiinA and sora tob sakana, Migma Shelter and a lot more. Namedropping, yay!).
