MM's "Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai"

[Shoujo Q]

Junjun looks like she's staring off into space. D:

[neshcom]

It's happened.



Morning Musume's periods have synchronized.



SOMEONE GET ME A GOAT

[Special Needs Tricycle]

I like them a lot.



Except for the hairpieces.

[mrsross]

They're cool and stylish. I think it represents the song lovely. I love it, like I said on H!O, it looks like a combination of the Rainbow 7 (one of my favorite album covers) and Osaka Koi no Uta costumes.

Yes, this.

[Windy-chan]

The dresses are cute, but yea, hair pieces. It looks like someone tried to gift wrap Ai's head in tissue paper and gave up.

[Haru]

[quote name='Ang' post='74041' date='Jan 9 2010, 02:27 PM']It basically looks like the Osaka Koi no Uta costumes, only blood stained. Why would they do this? This type of song has so much potential for cool, stylish costumes D: Save the poofy Barbie dresses for the concerts, if you must have them at all.[/quote]



Nah, Osaka Koi no Uta's dresses weren't as poofy and rosy and randomly pink. lol

I loved Osaka's costumes. <33



And PQ, I think she's trying to be the next Koha.

[michikodesu]

^

Please, no!! We already got rid of one, we don't need another one!!





The costumes, so far as we know, are from the H!P 2010 Winter Concert. They look like they would be pretty tricky to dance in.



I think I get it now, bows will always be "fashionable" at H!P, but that doesn't mean I'll like them! But I will say that Aika looks #*$@ adorable in it!

[tsukinobyouin]

B-side preview.



The quality isn't very good, but I think I like it. The "noise" might be a little overdone, but I can't tell with the quality. I think I hear decent amounts of all members?

[yoshimi]

GODDAMN SOMEBODY MAKE THAT THE A-SIDE RIGHT NOW

[Shoujo Q]

The c/w is coming with its own instrumental as well. About time UFA! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /frown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />





Oh and small cover preview.



Musume bleed out. :V

[Special Needs Tricycle]

I'm sad they didn't pull a Chokkan with this. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' /> The b-side isn't as catchy as the a-side, but I like it a looot better.



Also, it looks like the text might blend in with the costumes on the cover. Can't really tell though.

[showraniy]

Very nice move with the B-side. Hopefully Tsunku will continue to mix it up like that. It doesn't stand out enough to be an A-side and not all the girls sound spot-on in their solos, but hell, I'm ecstatic they all even got one! This'll be a good route so they can actually, y'know, sing and get some experience to really shine in the A-sides one day.



It's a shame the group had to dwindle this far for Tsunku to bother giving the other girls lines, but maybe he'll learn from this too.

[Haru]

YES

i am in love with this song

so much



@showraniy; I'm sure it'd atleast do better than "Mikan." XD

[thamychan]

How strange to see Sayumi being a front girl (to keep Risa-Eri symmetry?), she's always been there but not that much, I think. I could be wrong... Well, position doesn't mean that much but I hope it helps the group as Sayumi has been appearing quite a lot on TV. But those clothes keep on reminding me of those red dresses for Resonant Blue, - I prefer the first version. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... deways.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':suika:' />



EDIT: I just read in a H!O tweet that according to Neowing.jp, the limited edition DVDs will include Dance Shot, Close-up and Make-up ver. (this sounds interesting); moreover, in the Single V : Stage Ver.

[Pucchi-Mo]

Since the song is about girls not being noticed, I bet Make-up ver. will be overdone and hilarious.



B-side is so HIGH KING's c/w to DISNEY LOVE, if it got to be a single.



Maury, I'm a Gazillion percent sure the arranger is Tanaka Nao.



Paternity test pls.



If it's someone else, why is there so much crap going on? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':suika:' />

AKIRA is the father? ...but they only fooled around once!!!!

No wait, it makes sense, since he did the 2nd S/mileage single, the obvious B-side for Tanpopo# if they were given a real single.

She is indeed, she had her hair up like Koharu's for both Mobekimasu and Shuffle Date concerts. Made both I and a friend blink twice wondering if Koharu had come back for a few gigs. Please Junjun, for all that's holy stop trying to imitate Koharu. Imitating Sayumi was ok, just not Koharu.

[thamychan]

The covers... Still too small for us to have a good idea but enough to see it is not that different from everything else... And Limited A is so missing Koharu...

[Pucchi-Mo]

One thing about this single sort of switching from B-side to A-side as the main song,

[Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai] was arranged by Daichi and [Nakidasu Kamo Shirenai yo] was AKIRA.



I very clearly remember a similar case for the Nochiura Natsumi single, which contained the very same arrangers for the A & B -sides.



Hey, I wonder if they made a PV for Nakidasu...

I actually listened to that at work today. Well, I listened to "Love Like Crazy" anyway. Too bad neither of these songs rises to that level. I wish the B-side was actually more minimalist than it is. The synths and Tsunku shouts during the verses are really distracting. The piano is killer, though.

wat

She's not imitating either, I'm not sure how that is even possible or what would indicate that she does.

[Haru]

I don't see Sayu, but I see Koha in the way she poses.

But since Junjun can sing, that makes it better.

[Kissfully]

I actually really like this single, and I can't wait for the release. Not sure why yet, I think it's just the fact I like everything Morning Musume releases. Even the worst selling stuff. Though I not crazy about the outfits on the covers, something about them just bothers me. Not sure what, but it does.

[Special Needs Tricycle]

Very shitty quality cell phone PV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37l5c3q99vc



At least this one has a concept that fits with the song. *glares at Kimagure Princess*

I know they didn't really stray too far from their typical dance shots + close ups formula, but at least it's a little more interesting than usual~~

[AquaChan]

Even if it's too early to tell, I like it. It's fierce, and Eri look totally gorgeous in it....



But still, it's all the same leads. *sigh*

[Shoujo Q]

Gah! I really don't like the costumes for this. They just look so bulky and bleh. They could have done so much better. It's so disappointing. :<



PV is fine, not a big fan of this single.

[Tsujiji]

The costumes kinda remind me of card/rose girls from Alice in Wonderland.

I swear I have seen some Lolita in Wonderland inspired manga or dolls or art or something with outfits similar to these. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':omgwtf:' />

I think they are cute overall though. ♥

[Farrah]

I just... am not fond of how they handled this single XD I like the song, but I hate the costumes, and the PV to me is like, the bastard offspring of Yuujou Kokoro Busu ni wa Naranee and Osaka Koi no Uta. I feel like there was a lot of wasted potential here.

[Haru]

I really like the concept of the video! <33

Not as good as the PVs from Shouganai, but anything better after the dissapointment of Kimagure.

I just wish they could've ditched those costumes. :s They look horrid to dance in.
