Only you [Regular Edition]

Morning Musume doesn't dissapoint. This release turns the concept of their previous release around by putting the more mature and emotional (though still very powerful and awesome) song first and putting the more genki, energetic and quirky song as the coupling. Only You is fierce. It harkens back to the Emomusume era, but doesn't take too much from it. The best parts were undoubtably Niigaki Risa's two solo parts. Yes, she's autotuned and while I'm always suspicious of this technology, in this song it works. It doesn't dominate but nicely compliments the song. 9th gen member Sayashi Riho proves she's leadsinger material as she nicely compliments Ai and Reina, who both are awesome as usual. Line distribution is completely unfair, but as long as the end result is great, I really don't care. If you're dying to hear a song with better line distribution and more lines for the rest of the 9th gen, may I suggest the coupling song? Yamette yo! Sindbad is this release's genki song. Upbeat, quirky with even line-distribution for the 9th gen, this is one of the best couplings in a long while. It get's a bit too goofy at times, but that's not a big complaint.
