I like the song, not as much as Party Time and Omakase Guardian, but it's cute. The yellow, I think it's not a very nice shade for them... Yurina seems to wear it ok but it's not very complementary on the others. But, with them going through the colors it was bound to come up eventually. The PV, I t...

The song just doesn't have much of a hook (same problem I had with Bravo and a few of their other singles like Gachinko de Ikou and Kiss Kiss Kiss). I actually liked Take it Easy because it caught me and got in my head. This is just kinda generic. I was thinking Momoko's shirt said Bitch on it too, ...

After hearing this album, I only wish that the songs here had been released prior to the champloo album because they were much better reintroductions of the groups. Although I eventually warmed up to many of the the wedding songs, these ones didn't take any warming up - it was just instant love. Pir...

Ai no Sono and Sakura Mankai are both still favorites of mine. But then out of the two left, Yuujou is better than Hare Ame Nochi Suki, with the exception of Sayumi's vocals, which were akin to listening to my cat cough up a hairball. I actually made an edit of the song without her in it, and it was...

S/Mileage is the best thing H!P put together since Buono, in my opinion, so i am thrilled to see them getting a major debut. I've loved everything they have put out so far, so if Tsunku keeps giving them good material, they should do well! Material will have a lot to do with it though. You can have ...

^^ Haha, she is much better these days. She was actually pretty cute in Dakishimete Dakishimete. She's just such an easy target, I can't resist...

Ooh, that's rough. Nakky can be cute, sometimes. Like, when you can't see her mouth....



Maybe we should just start a "Ugliest H!P pictures EVAR" thread. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':excited:' />

Looks like the name has been revealed... It is スキちゃん (SUKI-chan)! Tsunku says about the name: 「スキちゃん」は彼のあだ名！？ 心の叫び？ いろんな意味が含まれております！ 想像してみてください。 (roughly translated, "Is Suki-chan his nickname!? A shout from the heart? There are many meanings associated with it! Please try to imagine them!"...

This sounds totally cute and a little hyper. The girls sound great!! Can't wait to hear a longer preview. <3

Their B-sides have been decent lately. Loved Aki Urara and enjoyed 3,2,1, Breakin' out, for what it was... This one is all right too. I like the verses more than the refrain though, which is kinda generic. Nice to hear Risa sounding like Risa, too. Couldn't even recognize her (usually distinctive) v...

^ Looking at the font, it likely doesn't naturally have the hollow little japanese period as part of the character set... And so it appears they have taken either an o or a 0 and shrunk it a little bit, but maybe not enough, because it looks quite awkward. MORNING MUSUMEo



That's my guess, anyway.

^^ I totally agree about the song not really flowing.... I like bits and pieces, especially the verses, but all put together, it doesn't seem to match. Risako sounds a hell of a lot better in this than she did in Ryuusei Boy. And I don't know whether she gained weight, but I think she looks really s...

[quote name='showraniy' post='70231' date='Oct 15 2009, 04:18 PM']I remember Risako and the other lead singer from Wonderful Hearts 2009, so I'm guessing they're Berryz' best vocalists. Not bad.[/quote] Risako isn't what I would call a good singer.... Sometimes she sounds fine, but she goes way off ...

Her voice is kinda weak for this, but HOLY CRAP. She doesn't sound like she's lifeless! Haven't heard that since Ai wa Katsu....



I don't know that it's something I would ever really listen to, but it is certainly more appealing to me than her other material.

Saki = <3 Her voice is so beautiful. Better than most of the rest of H!P. I personally prefer aMa no Jaku, which really really grew on me despite a lackluster chorus. However, this is also good, and a totally different feel than their first single. The video is really cute, too. This can't remain an...

Wow, I love the other A-side! Has the dance-club feel of Dakishimete Dakishimete, but faster.

I think they all look great in this. Airi's vocals are the star of this song. I just don't find the tune itself very catchy.... Maybe it will grow on me (Take it Easy certainly did), but some of their singles never did (Kiss Kiss Kiss, Gachinko de Ikou). Hopefully hearing a full version will help too.

Their hair looks more "manageable" this time around. Perhaps they were sick of spiking each other in the eye. Rika looks great. Yossi.... Not so much. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':confused:' /> I like the preview though....

[quote name='TnB' post='69433' date='Sep 27 2009, 11:04 AM']I don't think people have mostly forgotten about Sayumi because there's new blood to hate <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':pouty:' /> Before Koharu joined, I feel like I sa...

If you look at pictures where Koharu is standing next to Ai, Reina, or Risa, it looks like quite a big height difference... Much bigger than 3 inches. I think a lot of the sites that list her height have it from earlier, near where she first joined. She has grown quite a bit since then, and at her a...

It might not be a scandal or anything, but maybe it's over money, or something in the contract, that she won't go along with anymore.... There are a lot of possiblities.



The idea of her being in M-Line or TNX or whatever, though, it weird. She doesn't seem like she would fit.

Anyone seen this yet? Someone slowed the song down so you can tell who is who.



It sounds cool this way, but I actually enjoy the "chipmunk"y sound as well.

Pfff, I'm absolutely ecstatic. Good riddance, I hated her singing, her fake bubbly personality and her horse face. I'm practically dancing in my chair at the prospect of not having to have her lines make me shudder during an otherwise wonderful song. Woo hoo!!

Overall, I really like it. To break it down more, though: - I LOVE the verses. I love the sound, the music, the vocals. - The chorus, I think could have been better. Takahashi sounds out of place here. - I would have liked a little more variety as the song goes on - very much of the same sound the w...
