Top 10 of 2008
Is it too late for a “Favorite of 2008″ type post? It is? Well, I’m doing it anyway. I decided to follow Raid’s example and keep it simple and categoryless. So, here are my 10 favorite h!p songs of 2008.
10. Wasuretakunai Natsu- C-ute: A surprisingly good B-side. Bonus points for the long Chisato solo part.
9. Koi no Dial 6700- Momusu: Won me over with LinLin on the Rinrin’s.
8. Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance- Berryz: Kind of a guilty pleasure. I might like more because I tend to associate it with my amazing visit to the monkey part in Kyoto (I couldn’t stop singing it the entire time I was hiking up there). What? There were lots of baby monkeys!!
7. Gachinko de Ikou- Buono: Was my favorite Buono song until Rottara dethroned it. Still good though.
6. Ah! Merry go Round- Berryz (Momoko/Captain): My favorite song from the only h!p album that I really liked this year.
5. Pepper Keibu- Momusu: I don’t love the fact that it’s a cover, but I do love the musical interlude, and the song has a way of sticking with you.
4. Namida no Iro- C-ute: It’s been steadily growing on me since it came out. I seem to like it more every time I hear it.
3. Rottara Rottata- Buono: The very bestest Buono song with the very worstest Buono PV.
2. Cinderella Complex- High King: Best 1-shot unit in recent memory. I love the unusual beat, I love the Yuuka, and I really really love the dance.
1. Resonant Blue- Momusu: Yeah, I now that only 3 girls actually sing, but when it comes down to it, this is the song of 2008 that I most often want to listen to.
Lastly, a small personal dilemma I’m having. Should, or shouldn’t I try to get tickets to the first concert of Morning Musume’s 2009 Spring concert tour?? I was thinking that it’d be really cool to be at the first one when no one has any idea yet what songs, costumes, etc. to expect. Not to mention that I’d get to see the concert a month earlier than I would otherwise. The main problem with this is that it’s in Chiba, a good two hours away by train. Four hours really, because I’ll need to get back home afterwords too. It’s not like this is my only chance to catch the concert…just my only chance to be among the first to catch the concert.
At any rate, I will definitely definitely be going to a couple of the Tokyo concerts (May 2nd/3rd) . I’m an expert at finding the Nakano Sun Plaza now! Anyway, it’s a bit early to be thinking about this, but if anyone is positive that they will be in Tokyo then, well, it’s pretty easy for me to get a pair of tickets, and I always appreciate having someone who speaks English to talk to! *nudge nudge*
Happy New Year!

I agree that Rottara ROttara’s PV was sorta bad, but I think Kokoro no Tamago wa worse xD
