HELP ME!!

[Shoujo Q]

As far as I know there isn't a SingleV for this. It's being released on the single. Correct me someone, if I'm wrong.

[Anderei]

Haven't seen any news about a single V. WKTK didn't have one either right? Hopefully they're phasing it out.

[LiamMusume]

I doubt there will be a Single V

The Limited A comes with Music Video and the Dance Shot

The Limited B comes with Music Video and the Close-up ver

The Limited C comes with Music Video, Wakuteka Take a Chance (Oda Sakura Ver.) and the Making of.



Since the Single V always comes with the making of, I am guessing there wont be one.



^Wakuteka Take a Chance didn't have one because Eizo The Morning Musume 7-Single M Clips was out around its release and when those are released, the single closest to its release does not get a single V. (Like Maji Desu ka Ska & Nanchatte Ren'ai )

Durr, well buy the "w/ DVD, Limited Edition / Type whatever" version then if you need it spelled out in full. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ek3run.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':eekrun:' />

MV why must you be so blurry at times? The video is awesome, but there was a serious blur problem at moments. It would go from clear to blur all the way through. Maybe it was a youtube problem. If not, it needs fixed!!!

[/quote]

It's low resolution of the video with high compression on top of that. Wait for a HDTV rip, or be a good fan and buy the Single V like UFP wants you to.





And please, fix your avatar while waiting, it's all squished.

I will be right on that when I figure out how to do it.



Also, I need to look into prices for this single. I am thinking about ordering one. As long as it goes to Oricon

B-side previews (Click view in iTunes for 90 second preview)



Happy Daisakusen

Daisuki Dakara Zettai Yurusanai (Sayashi Riho, Oda Sakura)

https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/da-ha ... 65963&l=en



Nani wa Tomo Are! (Ikuta Erina, Suzuki Kanon, Sato Masaki, Kudo Haruka)

https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/nanih ... 66282&l=en



Aishuu no Romantic (Sayumi, Mizuki)

Watashi no Dekkai Hana (Tanaka Reina, Iikubo Haruna, Ishida Ayumi)

https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/sinod ... 66000&l=en

[geometricrobot]

The rap in Dekkai Hana is kind of laughable..I think they should train a few members in rapping instead of just normal singing vocals, especially considering how rap has the potential to spice up songs that would otherwise be boring, like Happy Daisakusen.

[roddyreta]

Actually, I thought Ayumin's rapping in Dekkai Hana was pretty impressive.



Aishuu no Romantic is good, but I'm getting tired of the RoboSayu songs.



Nani wa Tomi Are is kind of meh. Biggest plus of the song is hearing members sing who normally get no lines.



Daisuki Dakara Zettai Yurusanai is my big disappointment. Sakura and Riho just don't sound that good together. Maybe a Sakura/Masaki duet next time?



Song I like best is Happy Daisakusen. Syrupy but somehow magical. And all the girls sound great.

[Anderei]

I think Sakura/Haruka would have gone better together. Their voices are kind of similar. Masaki would probably be a better fit for a duet with Riho.



As for the rapping, you have to go in with low expectations for idol rapping. It's just meant to be fun, not amazing.

Too bad Tsunku didn't come up with the multiple B-side concept during the platinum era.



It would have been fun to have a B-side with just the Pandas, or with Eri leading, the possibilities are endless...

[/quote]



What is this "Platinum" era of which you speak?

[quote name='masa' timestamp='1358081991' post='141527']

Riho and Sakura sing "Daisuki dakara zettai ni yurusanai", which is one of the b-sides.

[/quote]



Oof. Their voices don't mesh very well together, do they? A shame, since they're most likely going to be the two lead singers in the group.[/quote]



Seems to be the unanimous opinion. I disagree. They sound just fine together. I hope this is a direction that MM continues to explore in the very near future.

People use it to refer to 07-10. Post Yossie/Miki until Eri/Jun/Lin graduated.



Some more info on the promo events (from the H!P site + translated at jplop):



1/18 - Mie - Reina, Mizuki, Haruna handshake event + public radio show recording event

1/21 - Gifu - Sayumi, Mizuki, Ayumi handshake event

1/24 @ Tower Records Shinjuku - Reina, Eripon, Haruna, Sakura

lol

[showraniy]

^ It was mentioned in an earlier thread that it's called the Platinum line-up because Platinum 9 Disco came out during it.







Moar RoboSayu please.

[Kalle]

Thoughts on the PV -- I really liked it! I'm glad they at least tried to put some effort into it, but I still don't like that big flash of light at the end of each chorus. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /pouty.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':pouty:' />



B-sides -- Aishuu no Romantic is probably my favorite, Robosayu aside. It has this sort of early-to-mid '90s techno vibe, I guess? Happy Daisakusen is pretty good too. Dekkai Hana and Nani wo Tomo Are are kind of meh (the latter is too cutesy for me to handle, but Kanon at least sounds nice) and Daisuki Dakara wasn't really what I was expecting... I'd like to hear how Sakura does in different shuffles, honestly.

[LiamMusume]

I uploaded all the 90 second previews to youtube, I cant put all the video links but you can find my account from the link.

[momoirosaya]

I really like Aishuu Romantic! But because Sayu always takes the higher melody I feel like I only hear her mostly. But then I hear Mizuki on solo lines of course.



After that I like Nani wa Tomo Are! then Happy Daisakusen.

[Shoujo Q]

MMChannel put up a video of Sakura's road from her audition to now. [Link]

Highlight of the whole thing? At 5:00 you get the raw of her solo line in the recording booth. Also note the lyrics Sakura are holding, it just says Help, not Help Me.



And here's another video of Sakura saying something about the single. [Link]



I don't like how she throws her voice high in the beginning of the video. Please don't do that Sakura.

[star]

I normally disagree to RoboSayu, but I actually like it for some reason in this song.



I could've swore that the first time you see the song sheet it says Help Me!! but the second tome, it only says Help!!

Or, you know, completely leave out any rap part since it often sucks in J-Pop. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />

I still have my iTunes card from Christmas, and since I love these all so much, I'm contemplating buying all of them. It depends on the price, though. Some of the MM sons that I've bought on iTunes in the past have been closer to $2 so hopefully these are all 99¢.





(Ps. Yes, I even like the Riho/Sakura duet.)

I'm pretty sure iTunes doesn't sell much of any new releases for 0.99 anymore. They raised the prices to $1.29 when they started selling higher quality DRM-free music.

[star]

I know. I'll probably have to wait a while because I don't feel like blowing my entire giftcard on one single.

I planned to buy all of the One•Two•Three ones, but I ran out of money and only ended up getting the Watashi no Jidai version (because the rokkies are the best). The same will probably happen with this single.

Aishuu Romantic radio rip.

I was on Hello Online and someone posted the Ninki ranking. Morning Musume MIGHT just have a chance at #1!



First Three

1/87.30 Morning Musume



2/71.50 SJ K.R.Y.



3/59.70 AAA



Good Luck Morning Musume!

[freezingkiss]

It's their best song and best produced all round single in years, so they actually deserve it to be sure. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[Shoujo Q]

Aishuu Romantic... I like it.



I only bought one single, the one with the dance shot. But I might consider buying the other versions in the future. I didn't want all those damn posters though.

[Noa]

Q, I would probably buy a poster off you, depending on how much you wanted.
