モーニング娘。 『Only you』 (MV)

So the usual title/group name appears first. Here the background they used is the white dance shot setting. Plus the a crystal. Then the scene switches to the red dance shot setting. Then another scene switch to the same place, but the members aren’t dancing anymore. They’re just sitting around while some crystals are floating. I noticed that the new MVs of H!P all have one thing in common (well the three main groups which is MM, BK & C-ute) there are floating things. For Berryz they have the shining white light or the heart thingy. For C-ute the pink bubbles. Whats up with them now? Mano, S/mileage & Kikka have probably the most normal MV this round.

Although I’m not saying the floating crystals here are distracting or a fault. I actually think they’re nice. So yeah another scene switch we go back to the white room where they dance. So next we have the close-up version which I think was nicely done. Actually because the close-up version is all white and bright (hey it rhymes!) it sort of reminds me of S/mileage’s “Yume Miru 15″ close-up version. They were also dressed uniformly and in white too. Plus the background was shiny. Though I like Morning Musume’s shiny close-up better. The scenes repeat… Not much changes.

So my comments… IT’S AWESOME! I love the PV! I love this song! Probably the best single ever since Ai took over and well I can’t really say if its the best for the kyuukies since it’s only their 2nd single, but definitely better than “MAJI DESU KA SKA!” 

To be honest I didn’t like their outfits or the covers…but the song matters right?  As for the b-side of this single since the video was removed I wasn’t able to hear it. I heard a cover one, but I couldn’t really take it and stopped listening. So I’m not sure what I’d say about it. The a-side however, like I said, is awesome. I didn’t really mind the auto-tune, but yeah I agree with the other fans that they shouldn’t have auto-tuned their voices much. (Especially Gaki) Hopefully Morning Musume can produce more songs like this, but “those” days would’ve been okay too (Mr. Moonlight, Love Machine, etc..where they were goofing off)

Oh and one more thing..Remember “Shouganai Yume Oibito”? yeah well I think that was the 8th gen’s first #1 and well I gotta agree its really good. And the video was good too. I just want to like tell the directors and whatnot that they should stick to that concept. Where they have these “acting scenes” and then the close-up, and then sure dance..but at least there they’ve got a lot of outfits unlike here they relied on one. I’m not just saying for MM only, but the whole H!P. I’m sort of frustrated with Hello Project MVs now.

Momusu Updates~

More updates! Yes.. now this time it’s Morning Musume.. Well first you see that picture ^ That’s the new profile picture of Momusu (Official Hello Project Site) Then next is more updates about their new single..

TRACKLIST

1. Maji Desu ka Ska! (まじですかスカ！)
2. Motto Aishite Hoshii no (もっと愛してほしいの)
3. Maji Desu ka Ska! (まじですかスカ！ Instrumental)

I think “Maji desu ka Ska!” means “Are you serious?” or “Seriously?” about the Ska! I think I read something about it before.. I think they said it was some kind of genre I dunno. So up until now I don’t get the “Ska!” part. For their b-side I think it means (from Google translate) “Want to love more” I’m guessing it’d be something like “Ame ga furanai…” Just guessing :>

Now full radio preview!! After I saw it on youtube I immediately listened to it. It sounds so effing awesome! After listening to it a couple of times I started singing along. Lucky the person who uploaded it included lyrics. So yeah I’ve been trying to memorize it and yeah theres progress.

The song is pretty good. Very different from the Momusu now. Why..well the recent releases of MM has been mature-ish (Like Onna to Otoko.. and Onna ga medatte..) Probably because most of the members are 17/18 + of age. While now they have the new members. In the previous Bijou Gaku episode they described the song as “upbeat and refreshing..it represents the “new-ness” of the 9th gen.

PLEASE LISTEN TO IT!!!

Oh and here’s this week’s Bijou Gaku.. I’ll upload the RAW one and the other video that has subs (ENG) Oh and I’ll include the one from last week and 2 weeks ago.

EDIT: Oh and one more thing.. Momusu will be releasing another single (their 46th to be exact) this May (on the 18th) and will have 4 versions (Regular, Limited A,B,C) Currently untitled. I’m shocked to hear the news (Quite like Berryz) Currently the groups that have new single announcement are S/mileage (5th), Berryz (26th) & Momusu (46th) I wonder when C-ute & Manoeri will have their next. I hope C-ute’s next one will be as awesome as “Kiss me..” while Manoeri’s last one was good, but it wasn’t enough (I think her sales were low. I THINK)

EDIT 2:

Okay another update.. a radio preview of this single’s b-side (Motto Aishite Hoshii no) has been released. It was previewed on Sayu’s radio show. This b-side reminds me of “Nakidasu Kamo Shirenai yo” and “Aishite Aishite Ato Ippun” Both are b-sides. (The first one coming from “onna ga medatte..” and the second one from “kimagure princess”) I dunno it just has the same feeling or vibe.  Very different from the a-side.

Well I’m not sure about the lyric distribution because the quality isn’t that good, but I’m sure that I heard Ai’s voice a couple of times. Reina had a couple of solo lines too. Sayumi sang the “whoa whoa yeah yeah” parts I think and there are parts she sang it with another girl. This is just a short version and the quality is not that good. I do hope they give the new members solo lines here too.

Morning Musume- "Fantasy! Juuichi"

Morning Musume's 11th album title has been revealed to be "FANTASY! JUUICHI" It's English translation is "Fantasy! Eleven"

This caught me by surprise because I didn't really expect them to have another album released this year. Although I'm glad to hear the news.

The title's okay. It's a first to see no numbers in the title, but the "Juuichi" is the kanji/japanese of Eleven. So I guess that does count.

I don't know much so I'll re-post again if there's more info revealed.

Release Date: December 1

Nakky will be on “Aimaina”

C-ute member Nakajima Saki will be a semi-regular on the show “Aimaina”

It's good news that Nakky will get some spotlight this time. And this can help promote C-ute and Nakky. I don't really know the details but I've read that former Morning Musume member Yaguchi Mari and present member Michishige Sayumi are regulars on the show.

Wahh! I'm so happy for Nakky!!! Since now she's my 3rd favorite in C-ute.. First is Chisa.. (I know! Not Airi anymore) Next is Airi then Nakky then Mai & Maimi are on the same level :P

Michishige Sayumi- "La" PB Cover & Preview released

Sayumi's PB "La" have been released. I don't really like her that much (because of her over cuteness, sorry sayu fans) but yes I do think she's pretty. The cover is simple but eye-catching =_= (what am I??!! No dirty thoughts please :P) Okay what I mean is even though it's simple it has something that I can't really explain :P

Among the 3 previews, I think I like the 2nd & the 3rd preview ;) The first preview she kinda looks sad and uhm... emo-ish?? Not like Sayu :|  but the 2nd & the 3rd preview is sad-ish with a bit of sexy :)

Release date: April 26

Official Wanibooks page for Sayumi's PB

Morning Musume- 43rd Single "Seishun Collection (青春コレクション)"

Morning Musume's 43rd single entitled "Seishun Collection (青春コレクション)"  will be released on June 9. For the Single V, it would be on June 16. There will be regular, limited A,B, & C plus the single V version.

According to neowing, this single will be the theme song for their new stage play "Fashionable" .

Oh.. and the title's English translation would be "Youth Collection" Since "Seishun" means "Youth" in English. I also read the translation of Neowing, and it's the same with my conclusions. I'm thinking that the song would somehow have a cute-ish melody, since it's a collection of youthful girls I think... but at least we know what it would be like.

Morning Musume - Namidacchi

I just listened to the preview, and I'm in love with the song! It's a great ballad mixed with an upbeat sound. I'm amazed so much! It's very unique. Not the usual songs of Morning Musume. The bridge is done by Gaki through rapping which is cool :)
