Just to throw a curveball (in case you were thinking this is going to be easy) items 11-25 will be identification-type questions. Clues will be added in the form of saying how many words there are, but I will be putting random words to throw you off.
If the answer is "Jidai," for example, the clue should only read "one word" so that it'll be easy for you to narrow down your choices. However, I will put other answers, such as "dog cat dog dog" just so it says "one or four words" in the clue. Confusing? Basically, don't trust the clue. Haha.
But then it will be too difficult, you say. I'll be adding some hints to help you along. Most hints will be based on puns of the titles, make references to dramas for which the singles were used, or make reference to the titles themselves. I apologize in advance for my sense of humor, hahaha. But there will be no fake hints, don't worry. :)
Hint: An-chan, what's that?
Correct Answer
This song really
increase your
Happiness
It's so awesome!
Explanation
As you can see, I added some random words so that the number of words won't be too much of a giveaway. Haha.
As for the hint, "An-chan" is what the little children called Nino in the drama in which Happiness was used, Yamada Taro Monogatari. :) Those are Nino's shoes by the way.
12.

Correct Answer
One of the few
English-titled songs

pasta.

Explanation
The dot is, of course, decorated like the Italian flag. The song was for MatsuJun's drama, Bambino!, where he was an apprentice in an Italian restaurant.
17.
Hint: ... The hints are top secret for this one.
Correct Answer
Iza, Now
Iza Now!
top secret was in
Iza, Now!
Iza Now
Explanation
I tried to include as many variations of the spelling as I could, since the answers are punctuation-sensitive. I am aware that the song Top Secret was not in the album per se, but the Iza, Now!! concert should come to mind as it is known for this particular dance of Ohno's. :)

BBT because the title had galaxy in it. I was supposed to say "Remember Nino's 'little friend'?" in reference to the plot of Minami-kun no Koibito (the drama which has this as its theme song), but it sounds too... pervy. lmao!
20.
Hint: The writer of this song once guested on Arashi no Shukudai-kun.

Aozora Pedal

For question 21-25, no hints will be given. If there are punctuation marks (commas, apostrophes, exclamation points, question marks, etc) in the title, PLEASE DO INCLUDE THEM. Other characters which are NOT punctuation makrs (special characters, number signs [#], asterisk [*], etc) need not be included in your answers. Good luck!
