just wanted to hear opinions, personally, i had expected a livelier rythm/melody to it, but seriously, its not easy to make a song about "HAppy Birthday" the lyrics were pretty well-written and sweet ^^ and the PV is just too cute!! as for Game of Love, it gave me a funky feeling xD and somehow, at some point, it remended me of Bambina.. O.o Gan gan ganbatte is just really optimistic~ really happy-jolly-CHEER! sounding song~ haha Push on! i havent heard it properly so i wont say anything about it just yet :) so, what do you think?

When I first heard it, I thought it was a pretty boring song, but after listening to it a couple of times, it started to grow on me. I'm really fond of it now. I still don't like the PV though...

I'm not saying the PV was bad, it's just that the single they released just before was Summer Time and I absolutely LOVED both the song and pv, so I guess I compared it to that. I'm sure if I hadn't seen Summer Time, I would've loved the song more from the beginning. xD

Hi there. I love Happy Birthday. It's unique and fresh. I love how NEWS seems to like exploring different types of music. The PV is cute, yes, though I sometimes think that JE scrimps too much for NEWS' PVs. _

When I first heard about the new single that NEWS will be releasing and learned that its title is Happy Birthday, I was shocked by the title it's very non-idol like. What's with the title, why did they had that title. But after listening to the song, i awed and i never really thought that they will come up with a great song from that title.

Ooh now that you mentioned it, I felt kinda like that too, I felt that Gan Gan Ganbatte could've been the single song instead of Happy Bitrhday. That's true, it;s hard to write a song with the subject "Happy birthday"

There are a lot of songs about it. That is why they have to make it unique and that is not an easy thing to do. Game of love is cool too. And you're right it would give you a funky feeling :D Summertime is still the best for me :D
