Song Comments

"Lalala no Pipipi" is technopop and its lyrics are mostly about Michishige Sayumi’s current condition within the group and in her personal life.
"Dokkan Capriccio" is rock song made for concerts.
"Zero Kara Hajimaru Seishun" is a thankful soft song.
"Chikyuu ga Naiteru" is a Tanaka Reina/Sayashi Riho lead since the vocals needed are really hard for this “serious rock number”.
"Namida Hitoshizuku" is a song sung in minor, and even though its melody is simple, the song is quite hard, which allowed Tsunku to notice how much Tanaka Reina has improved.
"Waratte! YOU" is a disco song.
