Morning Musume - Wakuteka Take a Chance

[momoirosaya]

Reina and her followers get their own song!

I'm really glad they decided to mix it up :)

[Anderei]

New profile shot for the single:







Eripon cut her hair today, though, so thankfully it won't look like that in the MV.



Outfits in motion (they have a TON of padding in them lol):

[Enmiz]

WHY did they make Eripon's hair look like her shoulder pieces for that group shot? I do like how everyone's costume is a bit different. The costumes look a lot cooler in the second shot than the first. I think this will be pretty cool to see live, but I think the PV might be weird if the lighting is as bright and plain as the first picture.



I can't tell... but I think I love those shoes.

[yuzuriha]

I'm generally all for the recent popularity of neon colors...but with just those three it looks horrible. Too much of the orange/green mix. They need blue thrown in or something. o_O

[Anderei]

Morning Musume will never escape all the goddamn green.

[momoirosaya]

The combination of colors is :P

Sakura had the cutest outfit.

[Solarblade]

Interesting to not see Sakura in profile shot...but her outfit stood out to me than everyone else's

I love Eripon's hair. I think it fits her personality. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> But didn't they already shoot the MV? It was announced that Ayumi and Haruka wouldn't be in the dance shot because of their injuries, but they seem to be dancing in the performance, so I assumed it was shot before they "got better." Hopefully they're actually better and UFA isn't pushing them to be the next Aikas.

Most of them are Jeffrey Campbell look-alikes, which have been the trendy thing in Japan for a few seasons. Sadly the Japanese look-alikes aren't really any cheaper than the originals ~_~



I'm not a huge fan of the neon but I don't find the costumes offensive either. Sakura's did look better, but it clashes with the rest.

[Mukuro]

This explains why Reina crimped her hair awhile back and we didn't know why. Eripon's hair is... yikes and Masaki just looks like Halloween.

She's not in the song.

[Shoujo Q]

My OCD hates the fact that they put Masaki and Eripon together and didn't stick Kanon in the middle to break up the two oranges next to each other.



I think it would have been cute if they matched their color outfits with the c/w songs they were singing. but no, no one likes a good idea anymore at UFA!

[Mukuro]

Concert rip DL of Reina Masaki and Haruka B-side.



It's nothing like I thought it would be, but I think I'll wait for a radio preview to judge.

[kimagureprincess]

i love the song and the dance.cant wait to order it but rite save up first lol~

this is like the first dance that i can almost remember all of the choreo~

I know that, but given that Sakrua has her own Wakuteka outfit...it's just rather surprisingly she isn't in it. Plus, it's not like they can edit the song to add her in....there's time before release IMO

You're making the mistake of thinking they aren't recording for the next single now ;)



She has an outfit because she will be performing that song..... today?



But she won't be in the video or the photos because they took those and recorded that 2-3 weeks ago.



Apart from Reina and Sayumi the others are all still in full time education which they can't stop doing because they are a Morning Musume member, on top of that they have to practice, rehearse and do concerts every weekend from today until December 15th.



So NO there is no time before release.

[YuuakuRisa]

The first 30 seconds and I fell in love! I love the dance and I like how it doesn't flow in some parts. It's more memorable, with other momusu songs the first and MAYBE second verse is all I'd remember.



The neon colors suit the electronic and heavy beats but Reina has a little too much going on. The top of her costume makes her look chubby. + do these outfits remind anyone else of a futuristic ver. of Renai Revolution 21?

It doesn't take too much to add in ONE girl anywhere, I mean record her vocals, place it in the song and teach the dance and bam she's in Wakuteka. Plus she's prolly got some of the choreography of the tour down from performances before? Plus they didn't FULLY shoot the PV yet since they're saving the dance shot with Ayumi and Haruka till they get better (which they have so...who knows).

[rob]

I thought it was announced they wouldn't be in it?

[Solarblade]

who knows with Tsunku TBQH

No, Tsunku announced on his blog that Haru and Ayumi won't be in the dance shot. They already filmed it 2 weeks ago.

[Solarblade]

I thought Tsunku said that they weren't going to do the dance shot until the two got better >.>

[momoirosaya]

That's what H!O said, but reading the blog post...

今回、石田や工藤の故障もあってミュージックビデオのダンスシーンの撮影ができず、

What with Japanese being such a darn vague language, he could have either said "We were not able to shoot the dance scene (yet) because of Ishida and Kudou's injuries" or "Ishida and Kudo were not able to participate in the dance shot due to their injuries."

But I'm pretty sure it's the 2nd one as they have a schedule to keep.

[strawberryjam]

Girls look funky and cuteeeee! And shoes, I love. I seriously wonder how they dance in them.

I didn't like the 1-2-3 outfits actually that most everyone loved.



Anyways, it's great seeing non-fans like the new "generic shit" sound of MM!



2012 year of hope <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... R#>/8o.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8o' /> (Just exclude Pyoko).



And totally random aside, someone asked me at work about the music I listen to. And for the first time, since forever, I didn't hesitate showing what I like with this new MM. Although his reaction was just, "fantastic, a bunch of Japanese girls jumping." <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... smooch.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='=3=' />

[Shoujo Q]

Knowing how UFA/H!P usually work, these are probably future album covers. [Got them from Jplop.]

[Mukuro]

Oh god, I thought the yellow background was gone forever with Ambitious. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... popper.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':popper:' />

[andrewmarlin]

What are the odds of our new egg being in this single. Not to good since a bunch of stuff is already accomplished. It just seems like a waste that she gets in a month before the single release and she will have to set it out until single 52. I can't wait to hear her (besides in the audition footage)

[tsukinobyouin]

^ That happens with almost every new generation. The 6th gen sat around for AGES before they got to be in something.

[Anderei]

I don't think we'll be seeing her in a single before February or March, Andrew.

[andrewmarlin]

Wow that is a while. I just never did notice it with the 9th and 10th generation members. The 9th generation was my first audition to set through as a MM fan. Guess I should just be patient.



She should still be in the Fall concert tour right? Or has that already started? I don't know any of the dates. What was her name and age again?

[rob]

The fall tour started on the 15 and runs to December 15(?)



Her name is Sakura Oda and she is 13 years old.
