MilkyWay – Tan Tan Taan! October 28, 2008

Track Listing

1. Tan Tan Taan!
2. Gamusharara
3. Tan Tan Taan! (Instrumental)

1. Tan Tan Taan!

Obviously, this song is too cute for words.  Like it’s about the sound of the tambourines which all 3 girls have a respective star-shaped one.  Now, I’m still new to the H!P stuff and to be honest when the girls sing their solo lines there’s only one girl who sounds really good while the others sound terribly nasally.  Koharu being one of the offenders IMO.  So I guess Yuu’s the one that I really like, I guess.  The song is definitly a dropoff from last single’s “Anataboshi” and this is quite catchy and scary at the same time….I like it LOL

2. Gamusharara

Weird that the song started sounding dark and then the song kind of goes into some brass stuff.  Once again the song sounds pretty cool and how the girls took on the song was great.  Though the song can get pretty repetitive the verses make up that fault and the girls actually sound good. 

 

 

Tan Tan Taan! is definitly the odd single.  The title track was definitly girly and full of the cutie-cutie stuff H!P was been handling since it’s birth.  Though the girls sounded off except Yuu, it still is a nice, peaceful track.  Gamusharara ended being the better track again with its excitement and how the girls sounded nice.  Another B-side>A-side single though.

MilkyWay – Anataboshi September 19, 2008

Track Listing

1. Anataboshi
2. Sansan GOGO
3. Anataboshi (Instrumental)

1. Anataboshi

For as long as I’ve paid attention to H!P stuff.  This came as a strange track for me.  I mean it sounds almost Russian in sound because of the loud percussion and the bagpipes included.  It’s just comes as just a bit strange for me for some reason.  Koharu is amazingly cute in this song which is normal since she’s like that in Morning Musume the other two.  Sayaka and Yuu being from Hello Pro Egg they sound just as girlish and cute, if not more. 

2. Sansan GOGO

I actually found this song more enjoyable.  All 3 girls have solo lines and they sounds pretty strong for being H!P girls.  It’s got some twinges of rock and pop at the same time.  The chorus sounds a bit repetitive but it still sounds pretty good on the other hand.  I actually prefer this to “Anataboshi”. 

 

 

This debut track for this mix of HPE and MM was pretty good overall.  There’s still some kinks they need to work out but they sound pretty good altogether.  Anataboshi was a pretty unusual track being different from the norm while Sansan GOGO was the more obvious track.
