What? Yagu was awesome.

[/quote]



Was she a great singer?



Great dancer?



Witty or funny?



I rest my case.

[/quote]



She was definitely funny. One of the most likeable people in all of H!P.



I don't remember her dancing or singing.

I think so.



Hmm, didn't really check, but I know she wasn't bad. EDIT: She was always energetic with her dancing which I think is good.



And hell yes, she was freaking hilarious!!! What Yagu are you talking about?

I remember her most from 'SOUDA! We're Alive' - she was energetic as hell in that. Do you reckon she has a really tiny grandmother?

[momoirosaya]

Some funny Yagu moments mostly from early 2000's

There's lots of more funny stuff she did as well, these are less funny though. They didn't even put the one about her wanting to be naked on an island, haha.

Yagu was also really funny in that Mechaike school stuff.



Hmmm all this talk isn't about Majiska, but I don't know if I should move or not <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

"I'm cute BUT USELESS" members we've had for a while.

Do elaborate please.

I guess Mitsui's old guy character has a deeper meaning:

She definitely looks better in this video <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />.

[/quote]





I like these members (except koharu ofc) but in the end they fall into the "cute but USELESS" section.



Mitsui Aika, Koharu Kusumi, Ogawa Makoto, Konno Asami, Yaguchi Mari, Ikuta Erina.

[/quote]



Wait, how were Mari or Mako useless? Neither were especially bad singers and they stole the scene every time Momusu appeared on TV.

[rob]

You seem to be misunderstanding.



My favourite members so far have been Mari, Sayumi and Junjun.



With Kanon however she brings a side to MM we haven't seen since kago and tsuji.



I accept my fandom of MM fully but I'm not blinded by it.



Every Mari video that was posted showed ZERO of her real personality, Kanon has shown more of herself in 5 minutes than Mari, Makoto, Asami did in 5 years.

How do you know ?

[Shoujo Q]

I was SO excited to listen to Sexy Boy since it's like my favorite Morning Musume song ever and... and I was SO disappointed. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> And it wasn't the vocals that were bad, I don't know It just sort of fell flat from the start. I think Sexy Boy needed the high voices or maybe I was just missing everyone. I think this is the first time I'll ever admit that this is one cover I don't like seeing Old Musume do. It just doesn't fit. It's like putting a square peg into a octagon shaped hole. It fits but it ain't right!

because since then she has been on various variety shows.



Hey I could be wrong, just my opinion, my original point was that kanon adds a bit of spice to MM something which has been lacking in recent times.

I like it, I think it's suffering from the flv rip making it very flat and the "proper" version will have a lot more punch. Can't wait for the concert performance, could be hot <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ebleed.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':nosebleed:' />.



Oh and how anybody could think Mari was Koharu is beyond ridiculous.

[Pflaume]

Wait, this isn't Mari Mari BBS? I'm leaving.

[momoirosaya]

I moved all this Mari talk to the Dream MM thread because this is like the OG thread I guess.

Interview with Yossie

[Vikitty]

She confirms that Disc 2 is original records, and Disc 1 is the only covers:



Q: How many songs were retaken? (Newly recorded for the album)

In total 7 songs, and for me, 4 songs.

[Anderei]

Interview with Kaori



Interview with Koharu



"Q: Do you want to take the center position in Dream Morning Musume.

Not at all … I’m too busy trying to catch up. I am good friends with Abe-san (Abe Natsumi), so I’ll be happy if I can follow behind her. Kind of like goldfish poo."

[/quote]

Wow, I was sort of in disbelief about that quote, but just Koharu got major points for being arrogant enough to believe that she is as good as goldfish poop.



"安倍さんと仲がいいので、安倍さんの後ろにくっついていけたらいいと思います。金魚のフンみたいな感じで（笑）。"

original page The phrase is right below her "hand on hip" photo.



THANKS FOR THE T-SHIRT DESIGN IDEA, KOHA! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/bye.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':bye:' />

Koharu is shit. OFFICIAL.



Admits it herself.

[freezingkiss]

Am I the only one who feels kind of bad for ragging on her all the time? Yes she is my least favourite MM member of all time, although with bitchy Mitsui that may change soon. She's just a girl who got a chance and took it. At least she was pretty and not a terrible dancer. Her voice may be terrible but she's alright.

I have to disagree with everything you said, except for what you said about her voice and Mitsui.



Also, she's never going to read this anyway, sadly.

[Anderei]

I've never actually minded Koharu, even if general consensus is that she's loud and obnoxious. She just occasionally says things that are so silly I can't leave it alone. Even her voice never bothered me that much, despite it being pretty awful. And yes, at least she was pretty. She had nice photobooks.

[momoirosaya]

I loved how she she always had so much energy during concerts~

[Haru]

She always impressed me as a kind of stuck-up bitch. Maybe because she looked like an Asian version of a woman I know who acts like a stuck-up bitch.

She was a good dancer. I'll atleast credit her with that.

That would be because she ddn't have to waste any breath singing.

2011 version of Morning Coffee



It's 1st and 2nd gen singing this. They tried to make it sound more modern, it actually sounds a bit odd. And Mari still sounds terrible.

If I may I wholeheartedly disagree, I prefer this to the original which I always thought a bit turgid. This is sung by confident women not nervous teenagers (yes I know Yuko wasn't a teenager but you get my point).



Can't say I noticed Mari but nothing made me wince unlike some more recent members.



Getting really excited about the album <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' />.

[Pucchi-Mo]

I realize that I am listening to this and drinking coffee, which is extremely rare. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />



Goofy instrumental or not, I still say this beats listening to the 2002 version's n00b。 vocals.



Even if this CD might be somewhat disappointing, I imagine that the concerts will really kick ass. MM Tanjou 10nen Kinentai had Koharu, and I still loved watching them perform. Fuck, it ALSO HAD MAKI. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />



Anyway, I hope when they have the Autumn tour, they cover Aki Urara. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />
