[2015.09.02] Kobushi Factory - Dosukoi! Kenkyo no Daitan/Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san no Uta/Nen ni wa Nen (Nen Iri ver.)

[Derby]

Did they give Sakurako the green color and Kanon's old hairstyle because she's kinda chubby now?

[MejraThea]

She's always been thicker than the others. I doubt the reason for the color, at least, was because of that.

[TicTacAnyone]

Naaaw man naaaw Aikawa Maho, Uemura Akari and Yamaki Risa are (and Yurina was) also green and they're thiiin! They do it more by atmosphere/mood the member gives off and connects it to a color more than how they look  =3  (At least that's how it seems to me.)

[arcobaleno]

Yeah, it's mostly based off of personality and such more than something like weight. Zukki got green since it's a sort of cute, playful color and has that association, and Sakurako is... ridiculously cute.

[MejraThea]

I didn't follow her as a kenshuusei, only as Kobushi. But since Kobushi was announced, she has always been thicker than the others.

[Noa]

I noticed Sakurako and Ayaka both seem a little thicker than most of the girls. I hope they don't get shit for it, I would really hate for another girl to go through the same thing as Kanon.

While I don't necessarily disagree, I think Hirose's curves are more akin to Fukumura (though not as, erm, extreme.) More like... Curvy? Not just general thickness lol. Kinda like how Risako was or Maro is?

[Noa]

Well there was a long period of time where everyone was calling Risako fat and treating her badly as well.

This is true.

[MejraThea]

I think Fujii is thicker as well.

[momoirosaya]

Of course they're going to call her out on it, especially since this weight gain is recent and very noticeable. While Rio and Ayaka just seem to have thicker bodies (a lot of H!P members do), Sakurako has been continuously gaining weight. She looks bigger in her Dosukoi photos than she did for the original Nen ni wa Nen ones. It could just be puberty, or stress, who knows. But as someone in the public eye she's going to have to keep an eye on her figure. It's just part of the job.


Japanese culture isn't like western culture where you tread lightly around weight, and calling someone fat there doesn't have as negative connotations as it does in western countries.

Rather than Kanon though, she seems like the Maasa of this group.

[Haru]

Ayapan reminds me of a tiny Saitou Hitomi.

Honestly this PV is so boring, but I wasn't expecting anything anyways since it's not a new song.

They had such an easy opportunity to do something, though I'm the same as I wasn't expecting much. I mean right in the lyrics are things that are easy to film the girls doing--accidentally ripping your tights, forgetting your umbrella, studying for a test, etc. It could all be in the same room/scene as the close-ups with props and it'd still be somewhat interesting hahaha. I'm sad they're back in the white outfits since I feel they lack personality, but the girls look great so that's a plus :) 
 
PS--Minami's hairstyle is killer in Nen ni wa Nen vs. the other songs of the single! <3

[Noa]

I agree it was pretty boring. But, I'm loving Ayaka and Sakurako.

Preview for Dosukoi

Looks like a fun PV

Whoever chose Sakura's outfit should be fired. I think they should be wearing uniforms.

I agree with you Saya and you had a better idea than they did, to me.</blockquote>
Well it looks like they got them in some! (for a different song though)

[TicTacAnyone]

Gdi Ogawa was soooo cute in that preview Q_Q

Whoa, I'm surprised, this actually looks interesting! If this video is any indication I think Kobushi will probably appeal to different kinds of idol fans, because this reminds me of videos I've seen before from other groups; it's really not typical of H!P. Whether or not this is a good thing remains to be seen...

[GaleKakumei]

I assumed Sakurako got green since she is tallest like Yurina.

[Elpis]

The Dosukoi MV seems to be the one that got the majority of the budget. It makes up for Nen ni wa Nens boringness.

Dosukoi PV was released. It's a very fun video, the Hello! Station version cut a lot of stuff out.

Hello! Station versions are so pointless. They're pretty much all close-ups.

[Shoujo Q]

The Hello!Station versions are of unused footage that didn't make it to the official music video. They don't have to do them. They are there just to get you excited for the real thing. 

[star]

I love the recorded version of Dosukoi so much better than the live. The music video is actually great for me.

[Revangelis]

I really enjoyed the video for Dosukoi. It is actually interesting and fun to watch, unlike most videos H!P gives us. I wouldn't mind more PVs like this.

[momoirosaya]

I love this song and I really like the PV! I'm getting excited about Kobushi because I really like what they're putting out there, not only song wise, but the members all have strong or potentially strong characters.

[TicTacAnyone]

This week's H!S showed a H!S edit of Ramen Daisuki. Cute.

[Derby]

I think it is more cheap, basic, half-assed than it is cute...

[momoirosaya]

Hopefully, like Dosukoi, they're holding back the good parts.
