[Mukuro]

I love the song from this concert rip it's definitely different from what MM usually does I hope it does well!

The outfits remind me of Berryz first single outfits kind of, I think it's just the hats.

[NekoKai]

Gaki-san! I don't even know a word to adequately describe how awesome my soul finds this song, especially all of Gaki-san's lines. Also, what is dub step?

Alternatively, Skrillex.

Almost, but not quite! The fact that Aika is lumped in with 6th gen irritates my OCD side greatly. But I imagine they didn't want her to have her own color because then Risa would seem less featured.

Oh good, I thought I was the only person who didn't know.

[Anderei]

The only time I've ever found dub step to be acceptable is that collab Korn and Skrillex did. But most of the time it just takes a bad song and makes it worse.

Alternatively, it's a great way to pick out hipsters in your daily life.

I'm willing to be okay with it this time, because we're always crying about how Tsunku needs to try new things, and hey! He finally did.

It's funny, because dubstep enthusiasts hate the association of Skrillex and dubstep. Skrillex is often called "brostep."

I don't like him because he puts on a shit live show

[BonkyuAsh]

Every song needs robo Sayu. Her parts are my favorite. Ugh. I just love this song.

Anxiously waiting for a post from Al...


Other than the wota shouts, I almost forget that this is a concert rip, the vocal capture quality sounds better than the usual rips. They did a pretty nice job of this live too.

Also, can they get Sayu an effect pedal and actually venture into the electronic music side. PQ, you could design it!

Here's another link that probably will stick around, but it's the lower-fi version. Tsunku sounds more prominent in this one, maybe the file's audio levels were edited.

[Al Kusanagi]

I never listen to new MM songs without a performance or PV to go with them, but I'm looking forward to more Robo-Sayu and dem heavy drops.

And all Sayu parts are the best parts. Especially the ones her swimsuit covers.

I'd bet a lot of money that it was lip-/live-synced, especially since official and radio previews aren't out. Also, RoboSayu sound unlikely live.

Yeah, I was thinking that too but Risa's lines sound especially hammy and live, but the overall clarity is impressive, even it is an audio track (or partially).

[BonkyuAsh]

Seriously though can someone teach Riho some vocal techniques? I thought they had vocal teachers. Why is she still so shouty? Its seriously my only problem with the song.
Only Risako can pull off the shout singing. >_<

[Anderei]

I don't think the issue is that Riho has a lack of vocal technique, persay (although singing correctly seems to be thrown out the window once you leave the studio and get on the stage). It's like other's have said, they're giving her lines meant for Takahashi. Riho just doesn't have the vocal power for that sort of thing, and I don't think she's ever going to. But rather than write lines that she can actually handle, they're just going to cross their fingers and hope for some singing miracle. She's never going to be an amazing singer, but they could be working with her voice more than they are.

And then maybe she wouldn't ruin every song she's in. I'd rather listen to Koharu all day long, no joke.


2ch did a breakdown of who got what lines and then someone who listened to the individual mic recordings edited it, so if you're interested in knowing, I hope you've been keeping up with your Musume kanji. It's long so look at it here.

[rob]

Too much Tanaka not enough Ishida or Fukumura.

I haven't even listened to it yet and I'm already disappointed there isn't more 9th and 10th gen lines.

[rob]

P.S. This version is a great recording - http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

I. AM. EXCITE.

Hope the MV isn't a eye burning fail this time.

[Farrah]

I feel like Riho is in this awkward position where she's very popular, and has front girl pizazz on stage, but doesn't have the vocal chops. She's a performer, but not that much of a singer. But since we're talking idols here, you can scrape by with pure stage presence and still get the diva lines, regardless of whether or not you can sing them well. I think part of her screechy-ness is the fact that I'm willing to bet she has a naturally lower voice, if her speaking voice is any indication. Risa has the same problem, but she's kind of "perfected" her screeching from sheer practice, so perhaps Riho will soon learn to man-roar instead of girly-squeal

Anyway, the song is pretty cool although I'm not totally in love with it like everyone else seems to be. It's definitely better than anything we've had in a while, and the costumes are adorable! It's rare for UFA to actually throw them some costumes cute costumes that also have a sense of unity. Reminds me of the old days.

This can only mean one thing - the PV will be a complete disaster!

Aika has flat shoes (that's different right) ? But yeah, that's probably why. I imagine if there were other 8th gen, her color would have been purple or pink or something Mobekimasuish

Why can't we retire pee-yellow?! Why, UFA, why? I guess the Takahashi leech has to graduate with Takahashi colors too.

Man, I don't hate Risa this much, but her graduation is somehow intensely irritating. At least the song doesn't seem terrible and the outfits are in fact awesome for the first time in a loooong, long while.

EDIT: I'd like to add that Aika's hair is finally awesome too. I hope it's like that for the whole PV and not just one good styling choice out of two or three.

[Rally]

I wouldn't mind one bit if Haruka's hair stayed like that for her entire tenure with Morning Musume

If Reina can have the same exact hair style for many years, why can't the others??

[Saya]

The outfits remind me of Go Girl which I like, but I wish it wasn't separated by generation. They keep putting to much emphasis on it lately. The should separate them and have those groups be one color! Just like Go Girl :D
Like Ex: Risa, Mizuki, Ayumi (gold); Reina, Eripon, Masaki (blue); Sayu, Riho, Haruka (red); Aika, Zukki, Haruna (black)

I do like the song :) I figure it will sound better in when performed liven 3 or so years when the girls get older.

[rob]

Masaki... why you so awesome??

[rob]

So yellow is - GTFO

Black is - You're NEXT

Red is 9th gen

Blue is 10th.

Makes sense!

I don't know about that, but what I heard taps very well into the obscure-electronic-music-loving part of me. If MM went down that way, I'd be in seventh heaven.

Note to self: add "MM PV directed by Chris Cunningham" to my list of absolutely ridiculous and impossible wishful thoughts. (I know the Skrillex one wasn't by him, but I couldn't stop thinking about Come to Daddy while watching it. And I love me some Come to Daddy).

Since Aine went ahead and replied, I shall too while the replying is good.



This is all I think of when I think of him live.

Back to the song WHICH IS AWESOME (but it had to be with a name as assertive as Renai Hunter)

[Plum]

This song sounds more like the H!P songs I tend to enjoy. I might actually watch the music video for this.

Also I cannot stop watching that gif and laughing. WHY IS IT SO FUNNY?

[Al Kusanagi]

[Anderei]

lol oops wrong topic

[Riho World]

I've listened to this song a few days now (one of the more recent, clearer concert rips), and I've grown to love it. Sounds a bit like the opening song to a James Bond film. A fitting farwell for Gaki-san, and she gets some great lines in the song. I thought Riho sounded quite good myself -- when she lowers the pitch of her voice, she sounds a lot like Reina.

Hopefully they will come up with a decent PV. Some have suggested a 60s spy theme, and I think that would be a great idea.

Apparently, there won't be a lot of competition the week of this release (fingers crossed), so we might have a decent shot at #1 if things hold up. I hope it happens -- that would give every generation of Momusu a #1 single.

[Anderei]

Reina said they filmed the MV today and wore HG outfits. Which supposedly stands for Hard Gay. So, shorts and tank tops?

The intro made me nearly puke.
PLEASE warn us when there is some retarded generic wubwubwub bullshit in a video. :X
It's the same disgrace to electro music that was Techno in the 90s.

Dubsteb should be exterminated and is nearly as disgusting as autotune over-use.
AND THIS SONG HAS BOTH.

The rest sounds... just like so many other MM singles (the high sounds in the background), but fast. lol
