Invader said:I think what bothers me a bit it's not that they don't make songs as crazy as before... It's more like their songs used to be waaaaay better than any other idol. Now I don't feel like what they're releasing is super impressive. It's been a while since one of their songs gave me the feeling of "this is the best song ever".
cinnamonpie said:I think part of the thing that made the old songs seem so exceptional was that they were designed really well to use Momoclo's craziness to full effect, so the fact that they were so good and unique was linked pretty closely to Momoclo being wacky and energetic. (......) The last two singles are the kinds of songs that already get done very well by people like Nana Mizuki or Lia, so I think that might be why they feel like they don't have the same wow factor that Momoclo used to have.

The real characters we might never get to know. And we don't need to anyway.
I remember Aya Matsuura talking about the early life as the super idol she was. She was able to switch on that smile and the Ayaya persona when she had to. Even when she was feeling lousy.
Until one day when she was getting older she noticed that all of this had become a foreign part of her. And that's when she knew she had to change something.

The girls went through those past years that form a human like maybe no other in the midst of limelight and seem to be coming out nicely.
But they have changed and will continue to change. And it would be a good thing if their music and appearance will change with them

Yeah, that's kind of what I've been thinking earlier these days too. I think, even though the Ani/Soundtrack songs are good, I'd love to see songs ...well...how should I say this....
... It doesn't so much matter if a song is going to be a soundtrack or not. But, it makes a HUGE difference if it is written for Momoclo (and maybe being used, or not, as Soundtrack) or for the soundtrack (and being performed by Momoclo)! I know a lot of songs were being used, but many of them had not given me the impression that it had been written mainly for the soundtrack purpose. (Pinky J, Saraba, Moretsu just to name a few.) The last few...well..to me...they sound a bit more like soundtrack being performed by... but, opinions may differ.
But I hope you know what I'm trying to say :)
Invader said:What I want right now is a new album from them. That way we can get a lot of new material and it will give them the space to try new sounds. At least I think it would be appropiate after 2 singles in 3 months. I hope they take it easy and release a masterpiece.

That would probably be good - it's been long enough that I could see one maybe being made next year. With respect to the stuff about writing songs tailored to Momoclo, we also need more Narasaki songs, because he really knows how to do it well :)
