HELP ME!!

[al kusanagi]

MM announces their new single.



It's out on 1/23. Yay! It's called "Help me!!" That's two exclamation points!!



There's a preview of it in the video. They've cut way back on the auto-tune, so I'm happy.

[Ap2000]

Fucking shit, why the hell do they keep uploading this interlaced crap !?



Judging by the song's title, I expect a lot of hands-reaching-out and rolling around on the floor or something like in the last video...

I thought about Rika screaming "Dakishimeteyoooo".

Hmm. Not really liking it after the first few listens. Maybe I'll like it more after hearing the whole thing.

Shall I refresh your memory of the lyrics??



http://projecthello.com/momusu/resonant.html



This song seems incredibly average, but I am liking the outfits. Minus Kuduu's hat.

I never look up J-pop lyrics. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />

I was kinda thinking in visual terms, not so much actual lyrics.

This is exactly what I thought of was the fucking AWFUL part where Sayumi screams that and I thought the thread was going to be a funny joke about what B she is. I am disappoint.



The song is also garbage, as usual from MM lately. Its funny how they don't even try anymore.

[showraniy]

The outfits make me happy inside. Also, this hopefully means that speculation about who leads and sub-leads is true, right?

How can you say the song is garbage when you haven't even herd the whole thing yet. Maybe wait to actually hear the whole song before you say it's garbage.



We know what the song sounds like a little and you can say the rest is gonna sound exactly like that?

[Anderei]

All dat leopard print. Back row is working it, though.

[Kalle]

I'm :| about those outfits in the preview image ... but then again I'm not the biggest fan of leopard print so ignore me I guess.

The snippet sounds okay, although it sort of sounds like 123 with less autotune. Either way I'm excited because eeeee Sakura yaaaay~

[Shoujo Q]

Only thing I can think of is Sayumi. She made a big deal back when Resonant Blue was released that all she got to say were guttural sounds and Help Me.



I don't have sound on this computer so I'll have to wait to get home to hear this :< This whole single screams 6th gen, from the outfits (Reina) to the title of the song (Sayumi).

[Farrah]

I'm in loooove with these costumes - they pander so perfectly to the circa-2009 scene kid still living deep inside me.

The song sounds nice to me, but without verses, I can't form a concrete opinion. At least it's not swimming in autotune!

The style is pretty repulsive and the arrangement sounds like complete trash. Just my personal opinion.



Also, if I can't stand the chorus, why would I listen to the song that much, even if the rest is good? Especially with idol music, when the chorus makes up probably about 50% of the song's running time, and we know the rest of the song isn't going to stray from this style very much, since it is modern H!P we're talking about here. They don't take risks or try to be different.

[Farrah]

Ugggh, I hate how Haruka keeps getting shoved into the "YAY FRIENDSHIP" midtempo type songs. They don't suit her voice in the slightest. Save those for Eripon, Ayumi, etc.

[yuzuriha]

Blegh...why do they have to put Haruna and Ayumi on a B-side with Reina? Not that I'm going to probably buy this one anyway, any space I can squeeze out of my iPod is reserved for something else...

[Kalle]

I got really confused looking at the list of different editions, because all the ones with DVDs have the same b-side and the others don't ... and then there are two regular editions but they have different b-sides as well. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nfused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> MAKE UP YER DAMN MINDS COME ON



but I am definitely going to buy limited D because Sayumi and Mizuki duet yesssss

[Banana]

[quote name='tangerine' timestamp='1355248464' post='139272']

Shuffle B-sides this time too!



Limited D: Aishou no Romantic (Sorrow Romantic) - Sayumi & Mizuki

Limited E: Watashi no Dekkai Hana (My Huge Flower <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' /> ) - Reina, Haruna & Ayumi

Limited F: Nani wa Tomo Are! (No Matter What, Keep Your Friends!) - Erina, Kanon, Masaki & Haruka

Regular A: Suki Dakara Zettai ni Yurusanai (I Love You, So I'll Never Forgive You) - Riho & Sakura



And the regular B-side for B & C is titled Happy Daisakusen (Happy Strategy)

[/quote]



Sayumi and Mizuki again? Please stop putting one of the few girls who can sing with the most annoying MM voice of all time. ;_;

Reina with Haruna and Ayumi. EW. EW. EW. Putting my favorite voice with two of the worst voices. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Erina-Kanon-Masaki-Haruka. This might be okay. I hope Haruka and Kanon will do well enough to cancel out shrill, nasal Masaki and tin-eared Eripon.

Riho and Sakura. It's good that they're really pushing Sakura, but couldn't they have paired her with Reina instead?



Yeah. I'm not really happy right now.

Also Mugi, you should know by now that AEUG default hates everything! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />





No comments on the song yet, no speakers at work. I would really like the costumes if the skirts were black. The hot pink is so clashy with the already loud leopard print. I'm glad we get 100 b-sides again, the more music the better. I suppose the Riho/Sakura song will give us an idea of what MM will sound like once Reina is gone. My Big Flower (lol) is pretty much something I'm guaranteed not to want to listen to, so it's nice that Tsunku segregated out all of those people for me.

Even though Eripon can't sing to save her life, I actually really like the way her voice sounds (I like Haruna's too but girl is so rhythm-less it's crazy). But I agree, I think it's weird pairing her and Masaki with Kanon and Haruka. Should have done Eripon and Haruna or something like that. Also would have liked to see Reina with Sakura.



Regardless, I'm totally getting LE F if it has just the four of them on the cover and isn't too much of a mess.

[Solarblade]

So listening to the preview I was like this sounds like a mix of Nanchatte Ren'ai and Waratte YOU!...it'll take time to grow but I'm more curious to Sakura's participation.

[Shoujo Q]

I don't know how anyone can tell anything from that preview. It's like those horribly bad previews back in the day when digital audio was first coming out and they gave you a preview of a song, but there wasn't enough to tell you if it was good or bad.



I hope the PV is mostly black to balance out the pink and animal print.



I don't like this belly showing trend. Why is this a thing? I hate it, make it stop being a thing!

[honey]

I really like the outfits, but I think that when you are forced to stare at cheap satin and duck suits for a year anything in comparison looks good...

It's going to be super bright and filled with whatever flashy animation the production team is obsessed with right now. And possibly more sparkles.

[Melon]

Those outfits. :familyguyvomit.gif:

[momoirosaya]

They should have paired up Sakura with Mizuki.



The outfits are cute, but I the hair accessories should be a different color than animal print.

But now that Reina is leaving someone needs to dye their hair orangey brown.



Can't tell much about the song from the preview...

I could see Eripon dying her hair orangey brown. I really hope she does.

I kinda of also hope Sayu does something new to her hair, but we all know she won't. -__-



I only hear a Riho solo, but, I believe I heard her use some vibrato, which is a first for me. I barely paid attention though because the preview was so short, I hope they stay on track with these good songs though.

It's like the most little bit of skin shown. Idols can wear stuff like that.
