Right! Guess they already had the photographer and editor in house, so why not let him use the whole hour they paid him for, huh.

Re: [2023.10.11] Juice=Juice Best Selection Album "Juicetory"

Oh wow, those covers are basically the most basic they could have been. Not bad of course, but also super boring lol. I was almost certain I've seen these before.

I wonder if the 10th Juice Ver. could be something like the ultimate Juice version of Platonic Planet.

Re: Yamagishi Riko and Kishimoto Yumeno are graduating Tsubaki Factory/H!P in fall 2023

Personally I feel like she's trying to be a bit more active before she leaves to give her fans a proper goodbye. Or maybe she does have something else scheduled from December onwards.

Yeah, absolutely. They could have pulled an RR21 or Love Machine somewhere there. Not sure why they singled out The Peace, since it came out 12 years ago, it's not even an anniverary of that song.

Re: [2023.10.25] Morning Musume '23 - Suggoi FEVER! / Wake-up Call ~Mezameru Toki~ / Neverending Shine

I think the song is a bit too messy, but at least it's catchy and fun.
The throwbacks to other songs felt a bit cheap except for The Peace, especially with the speedrun towards the end. But hey, definitely not the worst MM has released in the past few years!

If Takechan got a solo then Mizuki would get one, too, that one was obvious. Looking forward to Suggoi FEVER.

She is far from Airi or Risako, so this song was not exactly a good choice. She sounds good, though.

Re: Morning Musume 25; Song for You [Be ALIVE!]

Generally speaking, from a music perspective, Kokoro&Karada should be the better song. Beat no Wakusei makes me happy though. Also, I'm still petty that Ookubo used a sampler for one of the most unique melodies in an MM song ever lmao.

That was the first thing I thought of, too. When she was still rather close to the others, like an hour after the solo shots were uploaded I was really happy for her. But being *that* far in front can make things difficult. I'm looking forward to the first episode, though - from what I've heart, the...

I guess it's the hope that when it works out you're actually taking the next step. If you're lucky you'll end up like Tanabe Nanami, even if OnePixcel was short-lived.

Absolutely. I think Juice has suffered a lot from losing the avengers so quickly, two of them sooner than they had planned (Sayuki and Tomoko), but they've been working really well with what they got. I guess the worst part is that they're doing it silently, compared to Tsubaki who got a whole show ...

From M-line Music #106 Miyabi, Karin, Maa-chan and Moemi from Bitter & Sweet with pretty solid performance of T&C's "Gatamekira." Moemi get's the opening fake and, damn, I did not know she was capable of that. She ain't RuRu, but it's pretty good. Moemi was always a great singer. ...
