Although I find them catchy, they leave quite a bit of room for work. The instruments, at least in "Kiiroi Sora de BOOM BOOM BOOM" I noticed has the sound quality of a Sonic the Hedgehog game on the Sega Genesis; it brought back fond memories, but I expect my J-pop to have a slightly more realistic synth line. I didn't actually notice a difference in singing quality, but then again I'm only recently striking out into J-pop with origins in American bands that focus more on grit. One thing that I did notice about the singing was that all the songs sounded like they were recorded in a room where they were forced to sing as quietly as they could muster, without not-singing. I'm hoping the next set of shuffle songs are better. I just listened to these, and they leave much to be desired. Although I find them catchy, they leave quite a bit of room for work.

I like these shuffles, as well as you being a H!P freak. I sort of am. I like Aoiro 7 and Akagumi 4 the best even though I am an Ayaka fan. Hey, Lainay, you know what, I think you should do a page on Sharan Q seem as it has Tsunku-san. Please, do a page on Morning Musume as well. You must, well you don't have to but it would be good seem as Morning Musume are the main group. Matthew Ramsden Hello Lainay.

I'm slowly getting into H!P and I must say Aoi Sports Car no Otoko is pretty addictive with an interesting beat. I would have preferred if the song was more lively but it's interesting nonetheless as if they're racing down the road while singing this song. Oooh sounds pretty neat!
