Morning Musume's 50th Single "One•Two•Three/The Matenrou Show"

[Tsujiji]

This is sickening. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[Haru]

My only prob with this is in this video Haruka looks like a child prostitute. Otherwise I adore it.

[Banana]

Those whoas towards the end were Riho? Impressive.

[neshcom]

Awesome song, but it's totally the Reina-Shige show up there.



Hey y'all, who's the purple one? I like her the most <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[Banana]

Ikuta Erina aka Eripon

[showraniy]

Oh my god. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ebleed.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':nosebleed:' />



Robosayu --> Robomusume?! I approve!



Though there's really no effing excuse not to give every girl a line when every line is robo'd. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />

[kira]

I like this a lot! I do wish they were more in sync on the dance, it would look a lot cooler.



(This is random, but Haruka's hairstyle has started reminding me of Yuko's.)

[Pflaume]

Yeah, that's, wow. That's actually really enjoyable. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' />

[Banana]

Riho was really on fire for this performance. Her dancing was seriously wow.

[al kusanagi]

That was OFF THE CHAIN, son!!!



Yeah, bummed that is was like 75% Reina, but the song is amazing and catchy as hell, and the routine was pretty damn awesome.

I... will probably get the photosets and wish for a poster. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> I am a sucker for both those types of dresses and bows. The bows are so Hello Kitty-esque. Cuteeeeeee~!

The first order of business for the new leader was to cover everyone in bows. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



After the Viyuuden comment, I realize that they're just applying Sayumi's image to the whole group. I wonder if all future songs will contain robo vocals, haha. Also, I really hope that the PVs connect like the other double single.



Maybe it's just me, but I imagine them as characters in a really fun 16bit wrestling game. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Damn, look at that dancing, maybe this was the cool dance single that Tsunku was tweeting about but he switched it to Renai Hunter at the last minute. (because they really weren't ready for it, and it would be better for Aika to leave before they had a single like this, so she isn't awkwardly left out of the choreography)



During the instrumental break, nice reuse of the SOME BOYS! TOUCH choreography. Minus floor humping, of course. I kind of figured that they would take this young MM incarnation and sex them up. This is the kind of song that would only be an album track, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of styles they use on their next album. Ikuta looks amazing and Ishida is apparently a sailor scout now.



I predict that The Matenrou Show will be a brass heavy song with high kicking.

[al kusanagi]

I also love how they've incorporated King of Fighters special moves into the choreography.

[Miss Moonlight]

Looooove this! Haruna looks so good it overshadows that she's an awkward performer. Haruka looks super cute but I can't figure out why she was all spiky pigtails debut-era Tsuji 2.0 one minute and the next they're maturing her in a hurry

[Mugi]

Ok I take back all the bad stuff I said. I can't wait to see this video. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> Eripon looked aweseome.

[Enmiz]

OH. MY. GOD. That was epic! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ebleed.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':nosebleed:' /> This totally blew my expectations for this song out of the water. I'm so stinkin' excited for this single now. Tsunku's mind works in mysterious ways. I thought this would be a young and genki song.I don't even care if I don't like the other A-side now. I don't even know if I'll be mad if the video is super low budget. I'll gripe anyway, though. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> That's what the BBS is about, right?



They all look so good here. Eripon really has her game face down. She's improved so much. I'm so proud of her. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> I'm glad they all seem to have improved. The dance doesn't seem too difficult, but it looks really good.

Ahahaha! Yes! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



There are no words. Let the reign of Sayumi begin, my god. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />



Actually, there are words!



I liked Haruka's haircut now. She looks SweetS debut-ish, but like that stopped me from liking them.

Haruna's dual buns is so frakking adorable!

Ayumi werq'd it like a boss. Get it gurl!

Whoa whoa, is Riho taking vocal lessons? Or was the the magic of autotune?

Masaki's haircut is awesome too. I love that bob on her!

I need a Riho/Ayumi special dance cut of this song.

I don't even mind all the Reina.



PLEASE HAVE AN AWESOME PV I WILL BUY DVD VERSIONS IF SO PLEASE PRETTY PUH-LEEZ!

[momoirosaya]

Woah. LOVED IT. The dance & the song was just<3

From the first second I was in love with it.

Not liking how they sexified Haruka though...



But is it just me, or does the dance look a tad sloppy?

There were some parts where it looks like some girls messed up, or they were a bit off beat.



Hoping the Matenrou Show is more of a cute songs that shows off the Jukki's a bit more.

[Haru]

I was thinking that myself Saya; it may be a new song to them? I wouldn't think they were working on a single without Risa while she was still in the group...

[freezingkiss]

This song, this lineup, this performance....Morning Musume ARE BACK. Buying this. Freakin AWESOME. Excited to see this performed in July as well!!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[MiniLovely]

Oh my goodness, that performance! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> There is nothing better than Sayumi pulling that outfit off.

Actually, everything is amazing. Nothing's less than great.

Ayumi is really doing a great job. Is that a hair-bow in her hair? Am I seeing this right? This rocks. I didn't care for Ayummi much when she first joined, but she's really quite cool. MM needs performers like her.

Riho has really improved, which says a lot.

I'm happiest for Sayumi, who is finally not only leader but getting some center positioning and actual lines. She's worked her ass off for this and it's awesome to see that it's paid off for her.



The laser lights were a nice touch. I can't wait until the PV comes out.

[Anderei]

I'm actually on the fence. I don't know if I like it or not. I normally don't mind excessive autotune but here it's kind of bothering me. So are those woahs.



Ayumi looks fantastic in the performance, though.

[Tsujiji]

Watching this for the 90th time today. No wonder why Aika was like "Dude, you guys. I think it's time I boogie...." This dance is intense. She made the right choice with her little avian bones.

[Haru]

^ ikr? I've watched it like twenty...I'm just mesmerized.

[mrsross]

The song is different from what this line-up has done. I don't think Morning Musume has ever done a song like this. After listening to the song a few times, I like it. My only problem is that the outfits didn't match the song. They could've wore those outfits for the othe A-side.

I glad I'm not the only one who was thinking that.

[Pi Mako]

So late with this, but everything I think has already been said. Awesome song, awesome dance, awesome group dynamics. I mean, they REALLY fit in all together as a UNIT. Even with a 5 year age gap floating around somewhere. This is a perfect image and sound for the group (though the autotune I do have to admit is overdone). Hope this single gets the shit promoted out of it, especially with it being #50 (and I'm not talking about having 7 different versions of the single released or whatever).

[Mukuro]

Finally had a chance to watch the whole thing, and wow. I LOVE IT! I agree with everyone, it really works, plus they all look amazing. Bring on the PV!!

Aika realized that Tsunku wanted Morning Musume to start focusing more on dance and knew she'd never be able to handle it. Instead of continuing on and hindering the group, she flew the coop.

Yeah, that says it all really. Can't wait for a studio version. I don't remember the BBS being so unanimous about a new single in a long time. Though - checks - Newtype didn't post his combo-breaker yet. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... smooch.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='=3=' />

This is probably the studio version if you can deal with the LQ audio.
