Sorry this has been sitting here for so long. This is third on my "to review" list currently. Johanna(talk to me!) 03:48, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Because it's the band's second album, you don't have to say that it was the "second and final album" to be recorded in Hokkaido: I would just say "final album" as this implies that the first was recorded there as well.
  • Fixed.
  • "and was their first album to be purposely conceived of as an album." I'm not entirely sure what you mean here--could you rephrase?
  • How's that?
  • I would say, "all released in December 2007"
  • Fixed.
  • Make sure the lead follows the structure of the article.
  • Does this match the structure better?
  • I don't think "notoriety" is the right word, as it usually has a negative connotation. I would say "fame"
  • Fixed.
  • Can you convince me why some of that first paragraph of "background and development" stuff is relevant, particularly the part about the first album?
  • It's context to show how the band formed, and what commercial position they were in prior to releasing the album. The Sapporo concert milestone since it was a solo billed concert, at which they performed two of the album's songs. I've simplified it a little, what do you think of this version?
  • I would just call that subsection "creation" as I think the current title is redundant.
  • Fixed.
  • Second sentence of that: replace the band name with "they"
  • Fixed.
  • This is picky, but at the end of that sentence, could you flip the references so they are in order?
  • Like this?
  • Middle of second paragraph of that: remove "including"
  • Fixed.
  • "The band did not want to remove feelings of fun..." The first part reads a little informally, and I don't see how this is connected to the genres mentioned later in the sentence.
  • How about this?
  • Please go through the article and fix the ref flipping thing, which seems to happen commonly with ref 10.
  • Fixed.
  • "most fought-over album" be more specific
  • Fixed.
  • "The label had chosen..." replace "however" with "but"
  • Fixed.
  • Why is the paragraph beginning with "Lyrically, Yamaguchi worked around a "night" theme" not in the next subsection?
  • Is it better at the start of the next section, here?
  • "Several plans for the album did not come into being." Please rephrase
  • Fixed.
  • In the image caption for Queen, I would say that it was partially inspired by them
  • Done.
  • "In December, Sakanaction..." later in that sentence, change it to: "to promote the album, where they performed at the..."
  • Fixed.
  • "Originally the band had planned on releasing a new studio album in March 2015, however could not due to bassist Ami Kusakari's pregnancy." Most of the stuff in this section looks good, but I don't see how this sentence is relevant.
  • Reworded.
  • At the top of the Critical Reception section, would you make a box using Template:Album ratings? I find it very helpful.
  • Critical reviews in Japan are generally positive by nature (except Rolling Stone Japan for some reason, and for long-dead subjects); as the act of writing about it is seen as an endorsement (and if the reviewer didn't like the release, they would ignore it and not write about it). If I added a box, it would just be a list of the reviewing sources with '(favorable)' next to them a bunch of times. I could still add it if you'd like, but since there weren't any overseas reviews of the album or one by Rolling Stone Japan, I'm not sure if a table would add anything.
  • Were you unable to find any mixed or negative reviews?
  • Same as above. It's a cultural thing; and I can't cite publications not reviewing a release, because I have no idea if a lack of a response is an intentional snub, or just that they didn't listen to the album.
  • I would say "more than double the number"
  • Fixed.
  • You don't have to reestablish that that's their debut album.
  • Fixed.
  • You repeat "additional" twice in one sentence
  • Fixed.
  • Sorry if I've asked you this before, but you're fluent in Japanese, right? (I'm just asking because of the references).
  • I'm not a native speaker, but I used to live there and I have a degree in it! I'm somewhere between CEFR B2 and C1.
  • Ref 13 (this) is dead.
  • Fixed.

@Prosperosity: That's all I have! Congratulations on your upcoming marriage and I will review your other article soon. Johanna(talk to me!) 02:23, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think of this edition of the article? Do you have any further thoughts for improvements?
Thanks so much! If I have the chance in May, I'll try to return the favour with some of your Veronica Mars articles. --Prosperosity (talk) 10:15, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think there's going to be too many of them there then...I don't have any anymore and only one left to revamp before I take a break from getting these up to GA. But anyways, I can definitely Pass now. Johanna(talk to me!) 17:13, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
