Reviewed by : Dianne

Cover & CD case : Like Touch, i also only bought the limited one. Gomen NEWS no minna T_T The front cover reminds me a lot with magazine format, but still very naisu! i like the limited cover more than the regular. The cd case is pretty normal, since there's no dvd bonus like Touch album.

Booklet : It's 24 pages with great pictures and cute polaroid layout. I like the feather thing they held in their hands. The limited one doesn't have lyrics though.

CD : The limited one is green with simple wording Pacific NEWS.

SONGS

1. Ai no Matador : Wakakak, before I read the lyrics, I thought this song supposed to be funny. But instead, it's such an ero song! It's about one night stand thing with some explicit sex scenes *whacks NEWS no minna*, but I deffo can't wait to see the performance of this song!

2. Sayaendou : An old genki song, I always have my tension up everytime I heard this song. This is the first song with 6 members formation.

3. TEPPEN : As I expected, they re-recorded this songs and removed Uchi and Kusano's voices T_T I still like the 8 members version more *whines*

4. Change The World : It's a bit rock-ish song. I once heard it on Benesse CM. This song reminds me a bit of Koiyake.

5. Kimi Omofu Yoru : I love this song even before Tegoshi mentioned that it's his fave song LOL! This song reminds me a lot of I.Za.Na.I.Zu.Ki and KinKi Kids' Tsukiyo no Monogatari.

6. Alibi : The first duet of Koyama x Shige. The lyrics is so funny, they mentioned about Massu and Tegoshi on it LMAO! It's a bit jazz-ish, but I like it better than Say Hello!

7. code : Ryo's solo, he composed it himself. Quite nice song with cute meaning. It's so typical Ryo who never displayed his interest to the girl he likes, instead he put the confession into codes, cute isn't it?

8. Chirarizumu : Haha, another ero song from Koyama x Shige. This time is about peeping LOL! This song is very cute esp. when they performed it.

9. Ai Nante : I think it's my ultimate fave song from the album. The first time I heard this song, I almost cried. Tegoshi's voice is very beautiful. And suprisingly Shige's voice is very nice in this song too. I always like Ryo's voice so the trio made a good combination.

10. Nantoka Narusa : A reggae-ish song with Massu as lead. Too bad Yamapi and Koyama doesn't have much lines. It's a genki song, very Massu-ish ^_^.

11. Gomen ne Juliet : Ahh, finally Yamapi is back with a great song! I always admired his writing song skill, though it's another broken heart song. A song about a love that will never be, so sad but yet beautiful at the same time. I like the hand gestures for the performance too! This is my 2nd fave song in the album, need to ask why?

12. Hadashi no Cinderella Boy : I like this song, same as Sayaendou, this song can raise up my mood.

13. Hoshi wo Mezashite : A perfect comeback song for NEWS, I never get bored with this meaningful song. It's easy to sing in karaoke too!

14. Mafuyu no Nagareboshi : Finally they recorded this song! Before we could only hear in concert and SC. A nice xmas-ish song, though I prefer Snow Express to be recorded instead. Ohyes, this song only available in the regular version as bonus.

15. Sono Egao Boku ni Misete : An acapella song, very short, but very NEWS-ish too! Ryo said it's his fave song in the album *narcisst ne?* I have to say it's RyoPi song, yay! Like Mafuyu, this is a also a bonus song for the regular version.

Last comment : Will anyone whack me if I rated this album also 9/10? Yappari, I'm still a bit annoyed that it's only 6 members not 8! I know I should stop complaining. As long as NEWS still exists, I won't stop supporting them! BTW, this a GREAT album, anyone who ain't buy it, please BUY it!
