IIRC they're locked in for #2. KinKi Kids is the only competition who can (and will) beat them.

I thought KinKi Kids wasn't releasing anything in October?

[Shoujo Q]

Stupid Factoid of the Day: Koharu's first Morning Musume PV contained CG Fire and her last Morning Musume PV also contains CG Fire.





What is the drama tie in for this single?

[Pucchi-Mo]

Not only that, but an emphasis on SEXY in the lyrics. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ohyeah.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Did they really ever say this is Koharu's final single? I could see them sneaking in one more at the very last second.

[Tallgeese]

Ireppoi Jiretai meets Koi no Dance Site. In concert, they could go with the faux Arabesque costumes and go from Koi no Dance Site, to HSW, to this without missing a beat. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

At 2:40 and 3:40... are they grabbing/rubbing their boobs at us?

Yes.



I don't recall what the lyrics are, but they say something about chests, so yes.

[Cyrene]

I may be in the minority now, but I really like the song with the PV. I find the video fun and the dance is actually kind of cute. I dig the hats and the showing off of the bodies is a plus! Koharu looks gorgeous as usual and Eri is AMAZING. Ai's voice is very weird, but alas.



The Iiiiii ja nai parts remind me of Tsukiko Amano a bit, gives me chills when Ai sings it.

[Farrah]

I'm actually puzzled by Ai's lack of control on this song, she's really like, warbly and without support on the end of her lines. She's like that live, but usually not on the actual song. I think Eri sounded best here, actually.

lol I know what you mean. To me, I hear in most of the songs in her solos on the CD's, but it's usually not as apparant as it is on this song.



I'm like Cyrene, I like the song with the PV too. I really like the dance compared to their previous two singles. However, in the end of the PV, they filmed the outside of the place they danced in. OUTSIDE. I think it would've been awesome if they had the dance shot outside at night in front of the building, but I like the sexy style of this PV. The only one that fails at being sexy is Aika. Sorry, Aika. Eri however, despite Ai getting the most solo lines, OWNS THIS SONG. Her solos are just plain awesome. I'm kind of glad they're pushing Eri a little bit because she is the next to be the subleader when Ai or Risa graduates.



Here's to hoping for a better alernate version on the single V! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /drunk.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':drunk:' />

I believe it's the ending theme for Gyakuryuu the Researchers on TV Tokyo.



Also if anybody wants to play with this and make it an icon:

Now, that title makes it sounds like an exciting show!

[showraniy]

Everything about this single feels pretty sloppy to me, but that's probably standard fare.



I still like the song as a whole and think it'll be awesome live if the girls can pull it off.



I also would like to throw in that Eri did an amazing job vocally here and is the only one who sounds good in it. If the opening lines of the verses chilled out with the chipmunk voices and Takahashi's solo lines didn't sound like she were trying to impersonate a man, the rest would be fine too--which is why I think it'll turn out better in live performances.



EDIT: Oh, and Iroppoi Jirettai did the fire better. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ohyeah.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':drunk:' />

[eri]

Takahashi's weird "iiiiiiiiiiiii ja naaaaaaaiiiiiii" made me laugh outloud. Still like the song though and will never ever watch that PV ever again.

THIS.



I imagine it'll be quite fun to impersonate her on the Skype chats! Just put on your best deep man voice and yell it!







The PV is actually... not that bad? Cinematography-wise, I love whatever they did for the solo shots. Everyone looked sexy, and for some of the girls, that's usually quite a stretch.

[candimonki23]

I love the PV and the song =]

Even though I thought that Ai's lines were weird at first I love them now!

And the dance for the pv was interesting =]

Overall I like it.



Does anyone think that the drama will help sales?

[Ap2000]

What happened with their voices ? It's so weird, it's like a chipmunks theme.

Takashi is so manly in this. ahahaha



However, I just started to actually like Nanchatte Renai (somebody sang it in skype two weeks ago) and I don't really like this song (yet). It tries to be catchy, but it's like the last 5~ singles and feels exactly the same to me. Definitely needs more Bigga Raiji.

[Kago]

I LOVE this song. Eri owns this. She's just cute and sexy enough to pull it off and do it really well. Koharu looks amazing too. I had high hopes for some video with them sitting on thrones and throwing mini tantrums but this isnt bad either. The PV is sort of Moulin Rouge to me. XD



I always root for MM to get number one, but for the week they're up against my all time favorite group. At the absolute lowest, Kinki Kids still pull about 175k a single so i doubt MM can top them but i really hope the drama tie in gets them more exposure and sales.

Koharu's gonna make some loose, slutty bottoms out of your boys! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ardgay.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Amazon has bigger cover previews but they look even errr more rustic @_@

(and they still remind me of Dragonball Evolution for some reason)

Holy crap, I didn't recognize Sayumi at ALL in the regular edition cover. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' /> I seriously had to go through the girls one by one to figure out it was her.



Also, everyone except Koharu looks absolute boss on the limited A cover. Koharu's giving a cutesy smile which kind of ruins the look everyone around her was going for, but they still look boss nontheless. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Sayumi looks like the Birthday-period Sadako here, which has just made my awesomeness meter violently go beyond the gauge and explode. If I were a teenage fangirl I would be squealing and swooning and melting uncontrollably now. But I am a serious mature working man. Yes.



I didn't really like the song at first because I don't dig the "Eastern" or what you'd call it Happy-Summer-Wedding-like style, but I think it's growing on me slowly. Interesting change, no matter how I liked Emo Musume and wished it continued forever. Didn't manage to watch the whole PV yet, but the beginning I saw looked berry good.

The same thing happened to me. It's like she was able to do specialized exercises that focused on her fat face.



(Oh fine. It's the lack of bangs I guess.)

That's better now.

[Shoujo Q]

I pre-ordered the limited edition C, it seemed reasonable. But wow, horrible covers.



Can we talk about Eri's missing left arm on Limited Edition B? lol! It's there then disappears and you can see her hand behind the big blob of orange. Talk about a photoshop mishap.

[tsukinobyouin]

I like how the regular edition is all about the booty. It's about the only thing on these covers that actually fits the song. Poor Eri's and her missing arm in Limited B, and poor LinLin in limited A - it looks like she just smelled a fart.

Holy bad graphics, Batman!

Seriously, what was the designer of the Limited B cover thinking, chopping her arm off like that...? That's my favourite out of all the covers, but I can't stop staring at Eri and her lack of arm.

And I lol'd so hard at Koharu's face on the Limited A cover. IT'S LIKE 8) but creepier...



Not so crazy about the covers, but I love the song, so it redeems itself.
