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.

Song = *****

Covers = ***.5

MV = ****

Outfits = ***.5

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.

All Subbed videos uploaded by: yamiwonder

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.

まじですかスカ! (Maji desuka Suka!)

Morning Musume’s 45th single’s title has been announced! “Maji Desuka Suka!” (lit. まじですかスカ!/ Seriously?! Suka!)

I don’t know much and I’m not even sure if it’s official (got it from Hell!Project)

All I know is it’s the 9th gen’s first single and it will have 5 versions – Regular, Limited A (+DVD), Limited B(+DVD), Limited C(+DVD), Limited D(+DVD).

Release Date: March 23

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

Morning Musume- “Appare! Kaitenzushi” LQ Preview Released

Release date: October 13

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 :)

Morning Musume- "10 MY ME"

Cutie of the week February week 3

Okay... The winner of week 2 this February is Tsuguanaga Momoko!!!! I'm not that surprised because  I guess she's the cutest thing in the world! >.<

Here's the previous girls:

January:
Week 1:Tokunaga Chinami
Week 2: Natsuyaki Miyabi
Week 3:  Kumai Yurina
Week 4: JunJun

February:
Week 1: Yajima Maimi
Week 2: Tsugunaga Momoko
Week 3: ???

Okay... now the new girls for this week!!!

First we've got Niigaki Risa...

 

For some reasons I really like her because of her fun personality... like in concerts! >.< When I watched her, and her group (ZYX) in the summer concert '09 well... I thought she was funny well not the funny insulting type, but I thought she was a fun girl something like that :D Okay... we all know that she's part of Morning Musume and she's the sub-captain of the group (or the second eldest) okay.. next girl...

Suzuki Airi!

One of my top 3!!! Okay.. I guess you can say she's the reason why I totally fell-in-love with H!P... It all started with Buono! then there goes the chain! :) Well.. her main group is in C-ute then another group made for Shugo Chara, Buono!

Next we have Tokunaga Chinami!

I noticed while picking the girls, that the girls I picked [the last three(3) ] are all my top 3 favorites in H!P >,< isn't that cool? Well.. currently Chii's my top 1 then the next girl's my next girl... Airi's my top 3 ;)

Back to Chinami, well she comes from Berryz Koubou, and she's the 3rd eldest in the group... You know I never expected to actually be a fan of hers... it just happened, I guess... :) 

Last but not the least... (hey... just to inform you people....I'm picking the girls by their age... by the time I finished them all I'm gonna pick randomly ;) )

Oh... last girl, Fukuda Kanon!

Well, she's still part of H!P Eggs... though this March I think? her group (which is S/mileage together with Wada Ayaka (DAWA) as their leader, then there's Momo jr. (Maeda Yuuka) and Ogawa Saki) will graduate and they will be a member of H!P (at last!) oh.. and they are part of the main groups in H!P (Like... Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou, C-ute & Mano Erina) Okay... she's really cute right? and she as previously part of Shugo Chara Egg (that's the group name okay?) like Buono, the group was made for Shugo Chara, she left the group to be in S/mileage (together with DAWA & Momo jr)

Okay... now you've seen them please vote! >.<

Oh... and since I'm busy these days... please just wait for my other posts like for Momo's post, then I still have to do Jun Jun & Maimi's... so please wait!

Morning Musume- "Onna ga Medatte naze Ikenai" Close-up version, Dance shot version & Make-up version Released.

  

The close-up version, dance shot version and the make-version of Morning Musume's 42nd single has been released, entitled "Onna ga medatte naze Ikenai"

First... the close-up version :D

単一モーニング娘42のクローズアップ版、ダンスの打撃版および作版は解放された、「女が目立って なぜイケナイ」と最初に資格を与えられて… クローズアップ版: D 

To start, I love all their expressions... especially Reina! In fact all of looked lovely.. but again I have to go against Aika... sorry aika fans! -_- but her hairstyle kinda annoys me :(

I love the pause in Kamei's solo line in the second part of the song ;) everything suddenly stops and all :_

Well.. the background behind them (the disco ball) kinda reminds me of Berryz Koubou's 19th single "Dakishimete Dakishimete" here...

始まるためには、私は愛する表現をすべて… 特にれいな! 実際は美しく見られるすべて。 しかし再度私は愛佳に対してならない行かなければ… 残念な愛佳は送風する! - _ -しかし彼女のヘアスタイルはちょっと私を悩ます: (

I愛歌の第2部分の亀井の単独ラインの休止;) すべては突然すべて停止し、: _
健康。 それらの後ろの背景はBerryz工房第19単一の「抱きしめて　抱きしめて」はを(ディスコの球)ちょっとここに思い出させる私に… 

See?? has some bits of resemblance...

Back to Morning Musume...

か。見なさいか。 持っている類似のあるビットを…

モーニング娘に戻って…

I love the dance shot!!! >.< to be honest... I felt like dancing while watching them... but like I said before... they look like they are having a bit of a hard time dancing with those clothes...but I love almost everything!!! the place where they danced was good too :) you know I want to learn the dance... though I don't want to post it :P (in youtube or here) sorry ;)

Last... the Make-up version! ;)

私はダンスの打撃を!!愛する! >。< 正直があるため… それらを見ている間…ダンスのように感じられる私 しかしように私が前に言った… それらは僅かなそれらの衣服とのつらい時ダンスを有しているが、…私がほとんどすべてを!!愛するように見る! それらが踊った場所は余りによかった:) 私が…ダンスを学びたいと思うことを知っている 私はポスト・イットがほしいと思わないけれども: 残念なP (www.youtube.comでまたはここに);)

最後… 構造版! ;) 

Okay... the make-up version was stunning! it was like a back-stage moment though they still had to act and of course sing! ;)

I liked Junjun caring about her face :3 in 1:31 (make-up version) it was so cute and adorable!!! >.<

The Release Date is on February 10, 2010

わかりました… 構造版は思いがけなかった! それは舞台裏の時のように彼らがまだ行動し、当然歌わなければならなかったけれどもあった! ;)

私は彼女の表面を気遣うジュンジュンを好んだ: 1:31 (構造版)の3それはとてもかわいく、愛らしかった!!! >。<

Morning Musume- "Onna ga Medatte naze Ikenai" PV Released

 

Morning Musume's 42nd single entitled "Onna ga medatte naze ikenai" or "Why is it bad that girls stand out".  Google translates the title as "Why naughty women stand out". I think I like the google translation better :P I think it suits the song better :D

Since I haven't posted the preview I'll post it now while I can.

then I'll post next is the CM

But of course the best is the PV ;)

Truthfully I just saw it now (the PV) and it was awesome! I love it!

My opinion is first the dance... I think it's nice it's cool :) the outfits are okay... though it's not like the usual Morning Musume oh.. and they seem to have a hard time dancing in those clothes! I mean I guess they can't kick well when like they have a move in their dance... Returning to outfits... I like Reina's outfit the best! It's short and doesn't have any sleeves... so it's cute ;) JunJun was in fact stunning! XD

I think the lines are practically much the same... the spotlight.. the four(4) girls which are....

*Takahasi Ai (duh!)

*Tanaka Reina (of course!)

*Kamei Eri (no comment)

*Niigaki Risa (yeah!!!!!!)

Okay... they stand out the most! Sayumi's solo lines are like the "Ah!" part in the song... and the other girls...

*JunJun

*LinLin

*Mitsui Aika

well.. I didn't really think they have a solo line.. so sad :( I really wished JunJun had more lines! well.. I guess we can still hope for the next single! :3

well anyways.. back to the PV what I love about it is... the fashion show :3 it's really nice! I love them! especially when they were walking in two's! I also like when they were like dressing up or getting ready! and the walking part! I love that! They were all walking together which was kinda new for me... The song was so them! so it suits them I guess! 

Well the Single and the PV are superb! more than what I expected!

Out on February 10. hopefully next week!
