Audio rip of Risa's graduation speech and Furusato.
This is a place where a signature goes. Enjoy some Airi instead.

I heard somewhere that 4,000 people went to the theaters to see the MM concert. How big are Japanese movie theaters? (Yes I know it was 10 theaters, but still!)
Also, more concert footage and Risa interview.
Oh and Masaki cut her hair everyone!

9th gen being Aika's backup dancers explains those pictures of her with just them I saw earlier.
Masaki's new do is so cute. Awwwing forever at Eripon. The rest of 9th gen were surprisingly tear-less.

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
I feel weird seeing 10th gen cry. They cried over aichan and Risa, and I feel like they barely know them to be crying so much. 9th gen have been in MM with Risa for a year and they barely cried.

Ai-chan makes less sense, but I attribute that to them being young and caught up in the emotion of the whole thing. But Risa was the first leader they had, and they've all talked a lot about how much she helped them out. I have no idea why 9th gen wouldn't cry as much, other than maybe they were just more mentally prepared for it? Zukki and Riho for some reason don't strike me as big cryers to begin with, and Fuku-chan is only just now learning how to be expressive, so maybe she doesn't really have crying down yet. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Riho was the only one that didn't cry. Zukki cried for Aika, and both Eripon and Mizuki broke down during Risa's. Reina was pretty much GTFO though.

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
My lack of crying comment was meant for when they said talked to Risa. Not a whole lot of waterworks there. I didn't notice Mizuki crying, but I might not have been paying attention.
I can't even remember if everyone in 9th gen cried for Takahashi. I know someone did.
What did Reina talk about? Her transcript seemed long for her.
There are translations of their graduation letters:
Aika's What's the 321 Room? I have no idea what she's talking about.
Risa's In which she finally admits to her love for Eripon.
One more thing. Recording of Risa singing Never Forget.

321 can be read as Mi-tsu-i in Japanese. I assume it's her MC corner with the 9th and 10th gen.
Reina - She talks about how her and Risa used to never talk, but when the 9th gen joined and they did Reborn her and Risa were the only senpai members in the play. She was worried that her and Risa wouldn't really get along but she forced herself to grow up a bit during that musical and talked to her. She regrets not talking to Risa sooner because they could have had more fun together, but she's glad in the end she got along with Risa so she could see her off in a good way.

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
^ Thank you for the links. It's been ages since I've watched any live performances from Morning Musume. Kind of cool to hear how 9th and 10th gen's vocals have changed.
All I have to say is: Riho is filling Takahashi's place so smoothly, it's like the damn girl never left. Riho's sounding so much like her. God damnit. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Whyyyy bother having 11th gen auditions if it's just going to be the Reina/Riho show from now on? ;P

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
I'm hoping he'll start letting other people sing. Reina won't be around to carry all the songs for long.

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
A more even line distribution would be nice and easier on the new girls. But we all know UFA and Tsunku never do what's nice/why do I even bother wishing for these things.

Because after the 11th gen auditions it's going to be the Karin/Riho show!

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
I'm guessing it will be the Reina/Riho/Haruka show after a few more singles. Haruka is popular, and she knows how to sing.
I listened to an audio of Gaki's farwell concert, and I was impressed by how Ayumi's singing improved. If she can sing in-tune, she can be formidable -- she has a very strong voice.

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
Ayumi was the one who got to sing in Renai Hunter, so I'm predicting her over Haruka. But inside, I'll be foolishly wishing for the same as petit.

Reina's heart makes a brief appearance.

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
I expect (and hope) that we'll be hearing more of Mizuki. She's relatively popular and a pretty good singer, too. And she's improved a lot lately.
Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
I've wanted less Reina ever since she appeared.
Since everyone is sharing who they hope will become a front girl (or really just lucky enough to get a solo line in every single), I'll share my hopes!!
I'm really hoping they push Ayumi. She is the only one in the 10th Gen that I see having actual star potential within the group. I'd normally say that about Haruka as well, but she's still a little too young and (in my opinion) hasn't given me a reason to really root for her. I do hope she becomes a diva in the next couple of years!
I'm happy with Riho, but I wish Zukki and Eripon could be featured a little more despite their lack of singing ability. They're two of the most likable personalities in the group, and I worry Tsunku will pull a surprise graduation in a year or two that cuts the 9th Gen in half (particularly those two)! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />
You know he would, too. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
I don't see any new girls graduating any time soon. But I'd also like to see Zukki get some lines. I think she's actually pretty good.

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
Zukki I feel has lost a little confidence from making a few singing mistakes at live shows, but she should pick herself up again soon, with practice and experience I think she'll amaze us all with a belting performance in the next 12 months

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
Some people who went to the graduation concert said she was back to her usual self and that she didn't have any vocal problems. I think it was just the Aika announcement had gotten to her.

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
I watched this concert DVD last night and I had a question. Given that this was the graduation of the longest-serving member of MM and given that it was held at Budokan, the largest venue they've been in for one of these concerts in years, why didn't they bring out any special guests? How awesome would it have been if the other three members of 5th Gen showed up at the end to reunite and celebrate her graduation? Was this ever considered? Any reason why it wouldn't be? Was something like it done at an event elsewhere or earlier in the tour that simply wasn't on the DVD?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Morning Musume Concert Tour 2012 Spring ~Ultra Smart~
I certainly don't know, but I'd guess it's because despite being the longest running member, Gaki just wasn't as popular as some of the others. I think Mako and Konno showed up to a day of Takahashi's concert, which wasn't that long ago so maybe they didn't want to do it again? Maybe they also didn't want to make Aika feel too bad, even though it was really her taking attention away from Gaki.
