It's possible the bar was starting to get questioned by people who saw the first tweet.

The PV for Trigun Stampede's OP just dropped with a surprise guest:

It's actually nice that they're enforcing the restrictions on tickets already sold. There may be people who bought with that expectation. That said, I just attended a Hiro concert the other night and two Koda Kumi concerts today (about to enter the second), and everybody seemed really happy to inter...

I don't like the typical identity crisis between the different songs, but Maa does sound great in the second one.

Her poor bow lol

Hopefully they figure out how to mix the violin in better. It was getting way overpowered by everything else.

Yes, I know they showed that when the 9th gen joined. They were given all of the albums and printouts of all the lyrics.

You may still be able to find that on YouTube.

Every time I see something HP/UF self-described as sexy, I must remind myself that their definition is different from mine

Thanks for making the thread!

According to Barks, Ding Dong is nu disco and high-energy. Romantic has a swing beat and lots of harmonies.

Er... and apparently Ding Dong contains lots of "sexual" "whispers".

Details are out for Maa's debut. Double A-sides and multiple B-side variations. PV for Ding Dong coming out tomorrow!

YesAsia still has it new: https://www.yesasia.com/us/hello-projec ... /info.html

Man, with a lead time of a year away, there could conceivably be another graduation during the summer if one of them really wanted it.

Her husband did the lyrics, composition, and arrangement.

Was Keita's channel always called "The Tachibanas"?

Don't give me hope, dude!

Hmmm, reading Tsunku's liner notes, that ending may make it onto the CD. Maybe that's why the instrumental is different.

Since it's swing, I wonder if it will have extended instrumental band breaks.

I hope it won't just be the same audio as her Youtube videos and with better non-karaoke-esque instrumentals.

Maybe it's just bias because we already know, but that's so obviously her

Oh wow, I wonder if any of her performances have been uploaded.

It finally happened!!

I thought all of these were supposed to be one-takes. Karin definitely has her mic in different positions.

I think these three would still be around even if Corona never happened. Well don't forget that Erina was getting the graduation push, but she wanted to participate in all the Olympics activities (lol, so much for that). Was that an actual push, or was it just wishful thinking by some fans? :lol: N...

^ She did thoroughly nuke all online references to him though which raised some eyebrows at the time.

I think the clear analogs are Rio for Mizuki and Mei for Masaki, just in matching type of voice alone, and so far they've been holding up. I don't know if they'll ever recreate Sakura's sound, and maybe they shouldn't. Rather than trading like for like, they could let some else put their own spins o...

I wonder if they get employer-sponsored housing as well. I know Rising Productions does that.

^ I don't know if they were instructed to keep their answers simple or something due to the nature of the program, but their interviews were super simple to understand.

Of course the subtitles were nice too if you don't understand Japanese at all!

I get the feeling from that article that having to go at it alone on top of her physical health issues ended up taking a toll on her mental health.

Remember that Morning Musume was a very different group in the beginning. A lot of how the group developed back then was very reactive to what was currently happening. Like the multiple generations thing happened because they needed more content as a feature on an audition show. This is probably one...

Dayum, so not only did Non and Taiyou build that new blinger house, they kept the old one to use as a studio.

This also ended up being Masaki's last performance with the whole group aside from her graduation.
