[DonJuan]

So 4 songs on one single? Nice.

[Shoujo Q]

Chances are they might do what they did with the last H!P mega single. Because 10th joined a few weeks before that single was released and didn't show up in the MV but were part of promotion.

So the new girls from the Only You audition, if selected will more than likely not appear in the MVs but will do promotional duties.
 
But looking at the photo, I'm wondering when they shot that photo? The new girls from the two new groups aren't even in it. 
 
I hope THEY are in the music videos at least. I mean, you couldn't even photoshop them into the sides? Up-front loves to photoshop! 
 
Anywaaaay, I'm hyped about this news. FINALLY! 
 
Here is the Movie Soundtrack  CM from the Up-Front Channel. It's going to be a group song, I doubt there will be any solos. 

[TicTacAnyone]

Seeing 12th gen MM on the second row is soooooo odddddd to me

</blockquote>It looks like the they are in LOVE Machine outfits, so I imagine this was from earlier this year for a magazine 20th anniversary article. Think it was about March time frame.


Edit: I guess not quite Love Machine outfits...

[Shoujo Q]

Considering Karin and O.Mai are in it, probably not. But a good gauge is hair length. More specifically, Yokoyama's. I bet this was done before Ogata Haruna graduated. Maybe winter concert.

[DonJuan]

MV for YEAH YEAH YEAH.

[momoirosaya]

Ugh what a basic MM reject song. The song pattern is nothing new, and I’d rather see an energetic song with the whole company rather than a ballad style.


I kind of like it. But it will need time to grow on me.

[yuzuriha]

Wow cool I fucking hate it 

[AquaChan]

There is some cute moments in the MV but the song is so boring.

[Revangelis]

The PV looks pretty, but the song... meh.

[DonJuan]

Yeah, I agree. With all of you. The MV aesthetically pleasing, but very dull - silver on white, some close ups with the dance shot, costumes like every concert outfit. The cake scenes were cute but the fact that only 3 groups were shown in those (MM, ANGERME, CG) is pretty silly. I liked the beginning and ending, but honestly that can't make all of an MV. 
 
Some people on H!O disagreed with me but I still think that the dance break is stupid. Super plain ballad and suddenly the hardest hip hop moves, partially in fast motion on top of that? Why would you do that? Why not some nice, soft flow moves? Ah yeah, because of our local "Hello! Project Station Dance Club" unit that has to show off. (Honestly, a good dance club should be able to dance to all kinds of styles.)
 
Eh, at least the girls are pretty.

More like companies should realize you don’t HAVE to dance to everything. A good ballad doesn’t need choreography.

[DonJuan]

Yeah but dancing is basically all they can do nowadays so I understand why they'd want to show off.

[Mukuro]

I mean in dance you do see people do fast dances to slow paced songs so I'm not fazed by that, especially since Manakan is back. But the entire thing is boring.

[TicTacAnyone]

There are definitely points in it where it sounds Tsunku-ish... But I wish he had made something more grand for a 20th anniversary song....

[DonJuan]

Everytime it's stuck in my head it turns into My Vision halfway through. 

[Solarblade]

Yeah this song was a borefest...and the dance break also reminded me of "The Vision" and a little of "Tsumetai Kaze no Kataomoi" too.

[Elpis]

I like the lyrics but the song itself is super boring. I really they’d stop using white outfits in every single release.

[JPope]

I was hoping this would be one of those songs where I though you all were crazy for dragging it so hard, but nah, you guys are all right on, lol. The only thing I kinda disagree with is the dance during the instrumental break. It was the only interesting part of the song and video for me.

[Madara]

The song lyrics sum it up: "It's mortifying."

"Do you like our white-on-white MVs? No? Maybe you'll like our white-on-white covers better!"

[Anderei]

lol the worst part is that these covers are better than the messes they put effort into for the regular releases.

[DonJuan]

I mean they are pretty elegant.
 
Even though the shoes look like sandals with socks.

[TheParuProject]

I appreciate that the part-time group has the best cover. It really shows how much charm and personality Country Girls has as a whole.

That's exactly what they are

[DonJuan]

Wait really? I hoped they'd be weird boots at least.

[momoirosaya]

I feel like that isn’t popular in Japan anymore. Maybe I’m wrong.

[Purin-chama]

The MM cover made me think Mizuki was pregnant.

Shit, that would be a twist. I can't lie, at least it'd make MM interesting.
