Maji desu ka SUKA! : The Thread!

[Anderei]

Large HQ Covers



Regular Edition



Limited Edition A



Limited Edition B



Limited Edition C



Limited Edition D





A and C come with closeups, and B and D come with dance shots, just as a reminder. I'm seriously considering buying D.



Cover-wise, I like A and D the best. B and C are terrible.

[mrsross]

Looks like I ordered the one with the best cover, even though I kinda feel bummed about not getting the Limited A.

Am I just stupid, or am I the only thinking that this is a long time to wait for a PV?

There's...what, two weeks until the single drops?

Considering the earthquake I can see why they didn't release it. I'm sure they were planning to release it this weekend but mother nature got in the way. Damn her. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />

It's true, looks like everything is being delayed, it doesn't stop at the PV. Damn mother nature and her enteritis/returning to finish school/plagiarism/playstation/smoking/hate of koreans. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />



I'm gonna go burn some leaves in the toaster!

If it looks like a duck.......

[Ap2000]

She's been doing that stupid duck mouth for a few months now.

She seems to think "If I can't USO! them to death anymore, I'll just make this mouth".

[Anderei]

I think Risa looks more like this actually.



But I'm told the 'duckface' is popular in Japan right now, and I'm blaming Tomomi Itano since it's the only face she knows how to pose with.

[al kusanagi]

Oh, you said DUCKface...

Miley Cyrus does it too, and we know how she likes to impersonate Asians. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Antiduckface

[Pflaume]

The most upsetting duck face trend victim is Sunny from SNSD. Make her stop.



She's even kind of doing it in my avatar. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet or not

If you skip towards the end, there's another PV preview.

[eri]

^That clip was more interesting for showing the S/mileage preview

[freezingkiss]

LOL Smileage sound like children of about 8 years old when they do that 'BUU!' - Sweet preview!

[Anderei]

An even longer preview of the PV



At this point, the full thing would be nice, thanks.



Looks like 9th gen all get the same amount of screen time, though, which I like. I was worried they'd pull a Reina and decide to really push one and forget about the others for awhile.

Someone just cut and paste the two previews together to make a longer preview. I still want to figure out why Aika's in an old man outfit and they seem to be keeping that part a secret.

[mrsross]

The single has been rescheduled to April 6.

[Shoujo Q]

That's what the release thread is for, but thanks for playing.

[freezingkiss]

We've got a full PV!

No, still think it's bloody awful and why does Risa change her hairstyle at 1:48?

Because obviously she can't change her face anymore. :<>

[Pucchi-Mo]

Maybe she'll get a new face after a mysterious case of enteritis. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /ph34r.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' />



Actually, all of the old members have different hair styles in the solo + title in background shots, I guess it was filmed on a different day. ...one day Aika decided to show up as an old man. The floors change too.



That PV is Frankenstein'd, but pretty seamless. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I guess the randomness of the actual PV makes putting several previews together less noticeable.

Wow it was like...the preview on loop. I guess that's all there is to see in a mm PV <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' />



Hm but simple and bright, which suits the song. I didn't realize Suzuki had such a low voice and it sounds nice (like Risa's low voice).

[aine]

9th gen didn't open a new chapter in terms of the PV budget or quality, but it could be much worse. But I like how they focus on the cookies a lot, the group needs that badly to get some new audiences.



The song is catchy and fun, but what I don't like is noisy all the time. I mean that in the way how it doesn't slow down or change the rhythm to have some more defined structure, it's just a constant assault. It doesn't help to make it memorable because while you realise there were some catchy parts, you're having hard time remembering them. Or at least I do.



I also didn't like how Kanon didn't get stuck forever in the gigantic ま and then dumped together with the rest of the set, but I guess we can't have everything at once. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/meh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />

[rob]

Love the PV I'll be listening to this all summer!



I really like the whole Ska feel with the punk rock outfits <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/cool.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[sadude]

I finally understand what you guys were talking about with Aika as an old man.



I burst out laughing at that part. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[Mukuro]

Aikamade the PV awesome hands down. But I bet none of us were expecting her to flower the catus'. The PV has a good feel to it and they focus alot of the cookies which I like, plus it's nice to see them all interact with the giant words/puncuation. (probably used the wrong word there) Im excited to see what's next now.

Exactly but I don't see how this is going to happen.



Maybe all of you who say you are excited by the 9th Gen and how it's got you interested in MM again or that you love the new single could tell me what you are expecting of MM in the next few years.



All I can see is that, at best, they will continue to bump along selling about 50,000 singles and seemingly ever decreasing album sales whilst relying on concerts to make some money. At worst the fans will continue to drain away as the old favourites graduate until all you are left with is the worst kind of wota getting hot and sweaty over barely pubescent girls and the MM name becomes a pale shadow of what it once was <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sad:' />.

[Shoujo Q]

Turtle you're such a debbie downer. Like totally. While you view the cup half empty I'll be viewing the cup overflowing with positive energy.



Uhm, seeing the hacked together PV and looking at the singles. There's two dance shots, but I'm only seeing one dance shot in the PV. That makes me curious? Will it be the same dance shot but from two angles or something?



And everyone changed their hairstyle because it was costume change. Dur~ The cookies aren't fortunate enough to get hair changes yet.
