I know people have been disappointed on the music side of the album, but it's a pretty good album concept-wise, as far as I'm concerned. Each song fits the girl that leads it well. Tadoritsuita Onna Senshi is kind of really, really touching when you take into account what the girls have given up and endured to get the chance to be where they are.

Some pretty good songs not mentioned yet:

Hajimete Kuchibiru wo Kasaneta Yoru--Matsuura Aya

Morning Coffee--Morning Musume
25 ~vingt-cinq~--Abe Natsumi
Nanimo Iwazu ni I Love You (Momusu cover)--v-u-den
Koi no Shihatsu Ressha (Album Ver)--Morning Musume
Gyutto Dakishimete <Forever>--Minimoni
Shiawase no Tochuu--C-ute
Tasogare Kousaten--Mano Erina
Koi ING--Morning Musume

Koucha no Oishii Mise--Buono!

And of course, if covers of non-H!P artists count:
For you...--Linlin
Akai Sweet Pea--Tanpopo#
Mamotte Agetai--Gaki and Kame

I tried my hand at translating three of the four b-sides. Here's links if anybody wants 'em:

A B C D E-cha E-cha Shitai

Tokimeku Tokimeke

Rock no Teigi

Also, I learned all my Japanese by textbook, so a quick question: why does "icha icha" translate into "flirting"? In my neck of the woods, "flirting" generally means coy looks, light banter, etc. It's usually done between two people who are single and the most it extends to is brief touching, sitting close, etc.  From what I've seen (even outside of Tsunku lyrics), "icha icha" seems like it's done by established couples and I'd say it goes one step further, more like PDA. That's not to say "icha icha" is immediately "making out", but translating it as "flirting" just seems weird to me.

Granted, my Japanese isn't all there (and I'm obviously lacking in first-hand language experience), so if anyone can explain, that would be super helpful.

Usually don't post links to b-side translations here, but I thought Watashi wa Tensai's lyrics were pretty interesting this time around.

One part that stood out:

Nakky: 唇も才能よ ("My lips are a talent all on their own.")

Maimai: エクボもね　この声も ("So are my dimples and this voice.")

As a Maimai/Nakky fan, I loled quite a bit.

There's also a bit where they tell potential rivals that they're way too early to challenge them. Really neat lyrics, although the melody's a little blander than I personally like. Combined with Momusu's "three good things happened to me", maybe this is the start of Tsunku going meta in his lyrics?

Also, before I forget: congrats to the girls for the sales so far!

Here's the romaji of what I'm hearing:

Edit: Whoops, forgot to erase the "k" from chikyuu when I changed the "ch" to "j". "Jiyuu" is correct, my bad.
