Still can't base an opinion on this song for some strange reason.

i'm on my second play for LIVE. i can't really say if it's better than color, but i have a bad habit of comparing albums, lol. i seriously gotta stop! my most favorite album track, besides for BE FUNKY!, is Dancin' in the Secret. it's just so fun to listen to! "it's like a fantasy.."

and besides for LIVE and the single tracks (which i love), i also REALLY like Umareshi Kimi e, Aki no sora, Wonderland, Naiyou no Nai Tegami, and Share (i heard this song last year but i can't remember if i liked it or not, but i really love the studio version). Futari/130000000 no Kiseki sounds a bit similar to LIVE, i think. i can't remember how Endless Summer sounds like, so i gotta go replay it. and D.T.F.....the background music/instrumental sounds so silly, haha. if only it was a hot song instead of a weird song

overall, it really is a solid album! i really loved color, but i can't compare it to LIVE. i love both albums, but i just really loved color so so much. for me personally, i don't like how inactive NEWS was since last year. i don't lose interest, but i do forget about them for a bit. i liked how active they were in 2008 and i can only wish they'll be that active next year, cause lack of releases makes me drift away from an artist. especially when they only release 2 singles in 2 years! really JE, keep NEWS decently active next year! i don't want a repeat of 2009 & 2010. i can't take the wait lol.

The 1st song I immediately listened to when I downloaded LIVE was Naiyou no Nai Tegami as I'm a Hilcrhyme fan xD

& I'm not surprised it's a really good song & vocalist/rapper TOC & DJ KATSU did a great job writing/composing it <3

I will listen to the other album tracks later , after I finished watching new episodes of Ben 10 Alien Force

Koi no ABO Loved it since the single release and still loving it 4.5/5
LIVE Fun and happy song! Love it! 4.5/5
Umareshi Kimi e I really like the chorus! 4/5
Supernatural Verging on cheesy boyband song but still listenable. 3.5/5
Aki no Sora Beautiful mid-tempo ballad. <3 4.5/5
Futari/130000000 no Kiseki I do agree about the song sounding like LIVE. But heck, it's still fun and happy! 4.5/5
Dancin' in the Secret The edgy disco vibes of Koi no ABO is really cool! The verses however, was kinda disappointing. 3.5/5
Wonderland LOL The beginning reminds me of Kuu's Venus cover XD! ... ahem. I think the transition between the verses and the choruses were quite abrupt. But it still sounds pretty good! 4/5
Sakura Girl Perfect single. No flaws. Loooooovvveeee it! 5/5
BE FUNKY! OMG IT SOUNDS BETTER IN HQ!! Another awesome song! 5/5
D.T.F XD It sounds whacky at the beginning. Okay I've changed my mind about this song. It actually doesn't sound really cheesy! It's actually pretty cute XD 4/5
Naiyou no Nai Tegami (lol almost typed Tegomasu XD) Need lyrics. Because as of right now, I find it quite draggy. 3/5
Endless Summer Really good album ender. Really like it! 4/5
Share Liking the cleaning up of the instrumentals. I loved it a lot when the live version was released in Koi no ABO. And now, I like the studio version more. Sounds more mature and Massu sounds so awesome here! <3 5/5
Forever (Unplugged Ver.) It actually flows pretty well from Share because Share is about appreciation to the fans and Forever is about loving someone (fans) forever. Anywho, it still pretty much sound like the original, imo. But I like this better because there were lesser annoying instruments. 4/5

Album flow There were some abrupt transitions (e.g. Aki no Sora to Futari/130000000 no Kiseki) and some really good ones (e.g. BE FUNKY! to D.T.F). 4/5

Covers Unique concept and they are in suits! XD 4.5/5

Album in general Really good album and enjoyable! I like it over touch and color but I still think pacific is the best. 4.2/5
