So hard to include only 5 members :(



But this would be a vocal dream <3 Awesome vocal talent and a nice range as well.

This song is awful. The arrangement is garbage (I don't care WHO arranged it, it's the worst). It sounds like a mess thrown together, uninspired... not catchy at all.



What the hell LOL



On a positive note: Those outfits are pretty sexy. Ai's is my favorite.

Erina looks freaking adorable with her new haircut. It suits her really well and makes her look a bit more mature.



(...Not gonna bother fixing her doll on my signature, though. Just freaking made it a few days ago, hah.)

Go Girl Koi no Victory outfits were pretty hideous... I thought the gray looked awful on the girls. Reminded me of old ugly gas station attendant uniforms.



Ambitious is a close runner-up.

Miyamoto Karin reminds me of just a better version of Sayashi Riho (not that this is a bad thing, but I don't know what about her would "save" Morning Musume.)

Isn't Hitomi missing? ;o



I think everyone sounded decent except Miki. Her lines should've gone to someone else <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/meh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />

I think everyone gave a pretty solid performance of their solo songs.... except for Erina (she was atrocious, and for Sayu... there's just no hope for her vocals). The setlist, in my opinion, was pretty amazing and it was nice to hear the girls sing songs that were suited to their own voices/persona...

The double-dutch routine is the coolest thing I've seen from Morning Musume in years. So freaking impressive, they really nailed it!

Somehow these senbatsu rankings or whatever are really fascinating to me. I can't believe how emotional the girls get, it's wild. I watched most of last year's and this year's and, well..

Escort voice slip noted at around 11:00 in the first youtube clip. Blah. I so don't want to believe that's a woman, but... yeah, definitely is. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/meh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' /> I was honestly kind of bored by this clip as well. ...

I wonder if the announcement is going to be a Photobook + DVD or something silly like that ;P

Holy shit, that picture is out of control. For some reason I didn't expect the height difference to be THAT extreme <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

Aww, congrats to Mari. Though I still can't get over the fact that this guy is like 192cm and she's 145cm? So... ::googles:: 6'4" and 4'9" <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I think I'm the only one that really likes this. It's really current, i like the changes in tempo and the random autotune.

I really like it, too, though the vocals are a bore-fest (another Ai/Reina show, what else is new?)

[quote name='neshcom' timestamp='1304974475' post='98775'] Gags' got a new song, " The Edge of Glory ." It sounds like a song for Cher. It's better than Born This Way and Judas, but only in that it's safer where the other two were risky flops. Also, I can't get over that the drum machine i...

These girls are great; they have released some really killer songs (Polyrhythm, GAME, Butterfly, Edge). Their PVs are so amusing and their music is so freaking catchy. I hope they release a new album soon. I loved Game (Triangle was a bit of a letdown)... I generally like their more aggressive/fast ...

Wow, for some reason this doesn't really surprise me because I was just thinking the other day that Tsunku would do this. No idea why the thought came to me, but it did. Maybe it's the result of crappy CD sales from the most recent single? Though I'm not sure how adding a 10th gen would "fix&qu...

Aw, I think her haircut is adorable. I love it when girls with traditionally long hair take a risk and chop off their locks :B



I prefer Ai with longer hair, but honestly, I think both short and long hair suit her.

The covers scare the crap out of me. And I haven't liked either of her two new songs... though Judas is less bad than Born This Way. Eh... I'm liking Lady Gaga less and less these days; not only for bleh music, but she has become so full of herself it's really annoying me. I still like her Just Danc...

Worst choice Rika made evar.

Back in 2001, I was getting into jpop music and faithful Napster led me to download some Morning Musume songs. While I listened to the group's music, I didn't bother to find out who was in the group or anything like that. I just knew that their music was catchy, and it was a guilty pleasure. It wasn...
