1. ヒロインになろうか!
This is a strong song coming from Berryz Koubou. The only thing I don't care for is the autotune. Everything else is good. However, I am slightly bored by Berryz Koubou with this single. I like it, but I don't love it.
☆☆☆☆
2. ヒーロー現る!
This reminds me of Buono! more than Berryz Koubou. When I first heard it I didn't like it, but I've grown to like it.
☆☆☆
1. Answer
I pretty much had the same reaction to this song that I did with Berryz'. I sounds like typical no3b, which isn't bad in itself. I just like either development or the illusion of variety. The PV for this song helped it a lot, and now I love.

2. モノズキ1号
Meh, but I like it okay.
☆☆☆
3. 愛しさのアクセル
Now, I love this stage song.

1. 週末Not yet
Wow, am I just never impressed anymore when I hear a song for the first time. I was excited to hear of this new unit, but then I heard the song. It has definitely grown on it and watching it performed has sold it to me. I just am not a usual fan for this style of pop.

2. ひらひら
I am not going to say the same thing over and over again.

3. 泣きながら微笑んで (Not yet ver.)
I don't know if I like this solo song as a quartet, maybe a duet, wait a minute. . . Okay, I prefer it when Oshima isn't singing or when all four are singing. I am just so used to this song being sung by Oshima that when it is her plus other people it sounds weird to me.

Arashi has been either hit or okay with their singles recently. This reminds me of Monster, which I adore. The one thing I have to say is that the RE of their singles is pretty cheap looking. I'll probably not purchase any more of their RE singles.

2. ever
I like it because it makes me picture them performing it in concert.
☆☆☆☆
3. Boom Boom
I don't think I can take any song seriously with 'boom boom' in the lyrics.
☆☆☆
1. ミライボウル
They have done it again! Since they've gone major I haven't disliked or been disappointed by a single single. I've been listening to this song a lot ever since the PV came out and I'm still not sick of it yet. Unfortunately I don't know what they are going to do about their traditional rap sections when their rapper has graduated.

They have a productivity similar to AKB48; their singles include more than one title-song worthy track. What adds to this song, for me, is the dance. I have a new song to be addicted to!

3. 全力少女
Good job.

♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪
I do have preferences when it comes to AKB48 and idols in general, but I am typically a DD (dare demo = likes everyone) person. I've been playing my copy of the Dating Sim PSP game that AKB48 released and noticed something: just because I like you as an idol doesn't mean we'll have a fun date. I've also noticed girls that I've never paid too much attention to.
Girls I've Finished The Game With:
Tomomi Kasai
Tomomi Itano
Manami Oku
Sayaka Nakaya
Aika Ota
Aika Ota - My First Love
I finished the game for the first time with her, and I was quite pleased by it. My tension went up once we got to the video. She was the first 'discovery-moment' member for AKB48 and has been a favorite since. (She is my wallpaper right now.)
Amina Sato - My Failed Romances
Whenever I'm with her I become happy. I first played it with the aim to finish with her, but I seem to fail every time. I either end up with someone else, or I accidentally say something that upsets her. She always make me food which I find funny because I always would adore her even if she couldn't cook.
Mayumi Uchida - My Weak Spot
I've been interested in her even before the shuffle, but I never thought she was my type. However, what began as a way to just go on a date (in the meantime) has turned into a traditional date. Every time I play we go on a date, and I am still not bored by it. Maybe we are just meant to be.
Erena Ono and Manami Oku - My Cute Flings
I went out with both of them because they are graduating or have graduated, and they are similar (at least in appearance). I think they are extremely cute, but I just don't have the passion for them.
Sayaka Nakaya - Surprise Chemistry
She was also someone I went out with just for kicks, but I couldn't resist her. I ended up finishing it with her. Her short haircut is great.
Minami Takahashi - Stalker
For some reason she keeps on trying to go on a date with me and I am never interested. I never thought I would be so. . . not interested in her, but during the game I am. She has more than once sneaked up on me.
Haruka Ishida - The One I Couldn't Shake Off
After the rumors surfaced about her I decided to make her a victim. You have to go on dates, and you can't always go out with the same person. Plus, if you are nice or not that nice to a girl other girls won't go out with you. Therefore, I thought I should go out with someone to completely reject so I wouldn't lose anyone but said girl. Of course I mess up and accidentally lead her on. I had to break it off on the second date. After that game I never went out with her again in case I did it a second time.
Reina Fujie - Potential Mistress Character
One time we went shopping together. I like her, but I don't like her enough to go on more than two or three dates together. I just see her as the girl I would spoil if I was a rich guy.

In both Beginner and Sakura no Ki ni Narou there was the same format: senbatsu, undergirls, and then DIVA or MINT. DIVA gave an opportunity to girls that didn't fit in to either senbatsu or undergirls to still get featured. It also gave vocals to some of AKB48's strongest, and more under appreciated, vocalists.
I am thrilled that DiVA is a unit. There are only a few questions or issues that I think of. Will there be anymore MINT song? If yes, what will be the other coupling track? Theatre girls?
DIVA focuses on Sayaka, Ayaka, Yuka, and Asuka. There are three more singers included on the tracks: Misaki Iwasa, Amina Sato, and Natsuki Sato. Do they lose the most out of this? The other girls have sub-groups, but these three might not get featured as much in a different unit. Just something to think about.
