Yay!! I'm listening to the album now and I'll give a track by track (excluding singles)

1. 4 ~compass~ - Amazing opening! Pretty haunting somehow, and builds up the excitement. Transitions to WORLD QUEST really well.
3. 4+FAN - Loved it when I first heard the LQ radio rip. It sounds even better in HQ. Loving the signature NEWS sound that was produced, but at the same time, it still sounds fresh.
4. Nagisa no Onee Sumer - Loved it when I first heard the super LQ 15-second CM rip. Now it's even better in full. It's a feel good song and I'm smiling throughout listening to it.
6. Koi Matsuri - Super fun! So hyped up when I listen to it.
7. Greedier - Great song to somewhat relax from the upbeat stuff from the past 6 tracks. NEWS does R&B really well imo. They should do more of those.
8. Besame Mucho ~Kuruoshii Bolero~ - Slightly mature and mysterious sound from them. Sounds like a more intense Labyrinth to me. Sounds great!
10. Dance in the dark - Omg this sounds EPIC. Pretty experimental mix of genres. I love it so much!!
11. HIGH GROUND - It's so uplifting and cheerful. I feel like this is the kind of song I would listen to when I'm in need of a serious pick-me-up. Another great track!
13. CRY - This track is alright. I might grow on me. But I don't care for it as much as the others.

1. Beautiful Rain - The R&B-pop track by Koyama is pretty lighthearted. But I don't really think much of it now.
2. Dreamcatcher - Pretty loungy. Again, don't really care for this song for now either.
3. Remedy - Another electro-dance track like PeekaBoo... It's not bad. I kinda like it.
4. Lovin' U - Probably the best one out of the 4. I'm pretty surprised by Tegoshi's diversity in the genres of music that he can do. I was expecting another ballad judging from the title. But it's not, and it sounds really good.

After listening to the album in full, Pokopon Pekorya has grown on me tremendously. I actually really like it now LOL. Overall, the album is REALLY solid and well produced. Reminds you why NEWS was great last time, but at the same time introducing newer sounds for a fresher personality of the group. I don't care for the solo tracks nor the RE bonus track much but the tour might change my mind about them. That's what happened with the Chankapana solo tracks. But for now, I'm glad I'm not missing out by ordering LE A. It's a great comeback studio album and I'm already excited for more NEWS music. They're coming back stronger than ever and I'm loving the 4-member NEWS a lot.
