After listening to type A and B constantly(well, nearly,then) for two days, I gotta say I'm amazed at this album.
The singles and c/ws we already knew, but the new stuff!! There's hardly a filler on two full discs... and that's no small feat.
There has been too few great songs on the singles the past year, although the ridiculously long-titled Janken one showed promise and the KFCsong itself was a killer!
And I must admit that after hearing the songs off the new Team N stage, I actually had expectations of this album.
God, that was the greatest AKBgroup stage impact for me since the very first I saw two years ago (the DVD of Pajama Drive, BTW).
This and the excellent Tsugi no Ashiato has given me hope for several more years of great AKB-songs... and great new stages as well.
PS! The only downside to Tsugi no Ashiato is that Shower no Ato dakara has laid the benchmark so high,
that it's kinda ruined the chance of ever being aroused by the sexiness of a song ever again!
