3rd ~My love's escalating~
I've been meaning to review this album for some time. C-ute released 3rd ~Love Escalation~ about 2 or 3 months ago. I have this album on my computer so...I'm gonna review every song on it. So let's get started, shall we?
First before I review the songs I just want to say. This is one of the best C-ute costume sets IMO.
I like everything about these outfits...except Airi's hat. I can't even look at it straight without laughing so hard. This is probably because I had never seen a white top hat on a girl before maybe. But enough off-topicness, let's get to the songs.
1. Tokkaiko Junjou - This is C-ute's Love Machine IMO. It's the highest selling single currently and was their groundbreaking single. Great way to start the album.
2. Image Color - A very upbeat song. Osuzu and Yajima did a good job on this song. Probably because when they sing at the same time, they sound similar (Which is hard to do with Maimi's deep voice)
3. Otome Cocoro - The main singers in this song are Maimai and Chisa although this is a group song. This would have been a great c/w. Nice guitar solo.
4. LALALA Shiawase no Uta - What's said about this song that hasn't been said. It's the most addictive but annoying C-ute major single. Outfits were fugly but still pretty nice.
5. Homerare Nobiko no Theme Song - It sounds like Danceman but isn't. Weird. This a song you can dance to. Maybe this could be a c/w too. But I don't think it would make it as a A side.
6. Meguru Koi no Kitetsu - A great summer song. A good PV too because...well...Ume's in glasses. Everyone can dance to this song.
7. Sweeeets->->->Live - First of all, why in every other blog I've read, they say that this song is horrible? This is one of my favorite songs from this album. I don't why I love it. In short, I think that Chisa and Kanna did good.
8. Sakura Chirari - The first major single. Pretty song. Great Maimai part near the end. Pretty cute PV. Duo lines work out well for this song.
9. Hare no Platinum Doori - Also one of my favorites off this album. Nakki and Maimai have just the right squeak in their voices to make this song work.
10. Don Don Ga Don Ondo - Finally the last song. My #1 favorite song off this album for obivous reasons. It's Ume and she pumps this song full of pure, grade-A, lemony-fresh, win . I wonder how the other girls felt being backup singers...Anyway, expertly done, Erika. Next album, we need another solo Ume song (We also need a PB).
And there you have it. My review for 3rd ~Love Escalation~ is over. So many quality songs. Oh yeah, I forgot to say that I was reviewing some of these songs as I listened to them. Also, my birthday was yesterday and it my first birthday as a H!P fan. But I didn't get any H!P-related gifts...
