Listened to the full album last night and it pleasantly surprised me. Adding unit songs was definitely a great idea! My favorite track off the album is probably "Aishite Nan ga Warui!?", but I enjoyed "Futari wa Abekobe", and "Nakimushi My Dream" a lot too. Especially Kaedii's part, which makes me really sad she doesn't get more lines. Her clear voice stands out beautifully in slower, ballad-like songs like this. This brings me back to the point that more variety would do them well. Fantastic stuff, either way. Might just cop me a physical version
