Brainstorming Single Review from a Casual Fan

Decided it would be fun if I let my other half listen to Morning Musume's new single and write little thoughts down while we were listening.  He doesn't have a bias and only knows a little about the girls themselves. Thought it would be interesting to post the thoughts of a very casual fan. So, don't get too offended if there's something you don't fancy~

B r a i n s t o r m i n g 

☆ Oda sounds like a power ranger. ☆

☆ The song isnt as good without the video and lyrics. ☆

☆ Still catchy.  The music is still the best part. ☆

☆ I still cant recognize who is singing what minus Reina, Riho, Oda. ☆

☆ I  HEARD TSUNKU. I dont think I heard him before. ☆

☆ I really dont like the "typu" effect. ☆

☆ Still think its one of momusu's stronger songs. Top 10. ☆

☆ "Oh. This song"- is what I think when I hear the intro. ☆

☆ Part before the chorus is nice. But the chorus falls flat. ☆

☆ I'm not sure if I like the marching part. ☆

☆ I hate the "2000 people" sample. I like the "whoa-oh, whoa-oh". ☆

☆ The background music for the chorus is way more interesting than the vocals. ☆

☆T his break is terrible. ☆

☆I f you don't like the beginning, you won't like the song cause its the same the whole way through. ☆

☆ Not terrible, but not great. Barely good. ☆

☆ The engrish is pretty bad, but I already like this song much more than #2. ☆

☆ I'm assuming the lyrics are really terrible. ABCD, 123456, I love you. ☆

☆ I don't know how to describe how I feel about this song. ☆

☆ Its not great, but still catchy. But I know that the song isn't good. ☆

☆ "COME ON" -Tsunku ☆

☆ "MY LIFE, MYTIME" -Tsunku ☆

☆ I really like this song already. Its really solid so far. ☆

☆ It reminds me of late 90's pop. With more 8bittiness. ☆

☆ The only weak part to me is the buildup right before the chorus. 

☆ It does feel really late-90s to me. ☆

☆ Pretty good song. Really catchy. Not best but would listen to again. ☆

Itsumo to Onnaji Seifuku de
☆ The beginning...I'm setting myself up for disappointment. ☆

☆ Its very cute, but also kind of boring. It sounds sweet though. ☆

☆ All I can really think is that this song is very cute. Like kids singalong. ☆

☆ I really like the break. So simple, but nice. "lala lala, lala lala..." ☆

☆ Not a disappointment. Its nice. Not my favorite but I wouldn't skip it. ☆

Rock no Teigi
☆ Sounds like the Reina song.  Almost a solo. ☆

☆ I'm pretty sure it is now lol. ☆

☆ I feel like there are things about this song that I like, 
but it keeps falling where I expect it to get better. ☆

☆ Pretty cool guitar solo. If you told me this was her band, I'd believe it. ☆

☆ I just kept wanting this song to develop and be better than it was. ☆

I always like to hear his thoughts about what he thinks about idol music ^_^
Mine and his tastes are pretty similar but for me I really liked all the songs.

For me, Brainstorming / Tokimeku Tokimeke / Rock no Teigi
are my favourite songs off of this single.
