Morning Musume / Best Vol 2 : 4 of 5
11.03.2004 6:29 PM \| Link	I had read that this second CD of Morning Musume hits was even better than Volume 1, so when I discovered that I could get it for relatively cheap from YesAsia, I decided to order it. I was really happy that it came in special packaging - the CD was boxed and included a giant button of all the girls (well, actually just their faces stuck on the top of cartoon elf bodies)! The CD is full of excellent stuff - I haven't decided if it's better than the first volume, but I definitely think it's as good. There's certainly one terrible track, though - I can't bear listening to Mr. Moonlight, an attempt at big-band swing that's simply awful (especially the lead singer!). I think my favorite is As For One Day, because the rhythm of the melody is fantastic! There are twelve tracks in all, with a good mix of completely fun tunes and semi-anthems, such as the 11th track (I can't read the Kanji!), which builds to a wonderful positive-sounding crescendo. There are 17 girls on the cover this time - maybe this includes some who have come and gone over the years. I wish there was a Volume 3 available! Labels: cds, jpop, morning musume
