I voted both Harunas, both related to age... Harunan because she's older. For ogata, I feel like being around 18 has been the reasoning for a lot of these graduations lately, they want to go in a different direction.


But maybe I'm just totally throwing a wild guess in there.

The dance break made me go ?????


But the MV is cute and I like that.

All it made me wonder is who they'll give the ending love machine to when they inevitably do this song again on the year end shows.

I voted for say yeah so I'm happy they did it! But I was surprised the event seened so small. <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Zoe" data-cid="210101" data-time="1505401653"> Did they really vote for the updated I Wish though, or is that just the ...

Morning Musume is going to be on Music Station's Ultra Fes on 9/18.

I think the covers are out since they're up on CD Japan but I can't locate the release on the H!P site anymore...?   ETA: Nevermind... I found it on the UFA site   Box: http://www.up-front-works.jp/release/detail/EPXE-5111/ DVD: http://www.up-front-works.jp/release/detail/EPBE-5556/ Blu-Ray: http://...

"At least it's not brown" was my first thought.

The other digital releases they've done lately (the ones through that upcoming delivery) have had PVs, though.
 
I wouldn't say they were very good or high quality but they did make PVs for them, so I could see it happening.

While I was watching Hana Moyou I was thinking the Waratte outfits would have made more sense, or even the outfits in member colours would have been better. I liked the song. Another stray thought I had was, for a song about smiling they didn't really seem to do a lot of it in the Waratte music video.

Manoeri did a model thing for prostyle where they used only prostyle hair products. There's 7 styles in total, plus videos of how the hair was styled.

[quote="TicTacAnyone"] This round was pretty easy for me....   Not that Yuke Yuke isn't a great song, but it can't compete with a classic Berryz like 21ji Made no Cinderella.  21ji also has one of their best choreographed dances, imo... A little behind Special Generation's dance but better...

I was reading the comments on the Final Squall video and someone noted that the video could be repeated infinitely - the end transitions into the beginning.

Of the 3 I still really like Final Squall... I've been listening to it on repeat at work. It super grew on me like Tsugi no Kado wo Magare.   I translated the liner notes from the Final Squall PV (it's from the bottom in the video description), written by the songwriter/composer.   <blockquote class...

Just Try sounds like something that would have been on Morning Musume's 14th album. But also a weird cross with a Berryz Koubou song whose name is escaping me at the moment.


I liked Hatsukoi Sunrise, and like others, I haven't really liked anything by them previously.

So for my birthday I bought myself a PS4 so I could play Final Fantasy XV (and KH2.8 that came out today)... The combat takes a lot of getting used to, but I actually really like it. I haven't made it very far into the game but it's a lot of fun so far. Square Enix is supposed to have some kind of a...

C-ute is going to Paris and Mexico again too, they just uploaded announcement videos.

I really liked that group photo!


(by the way I uploaded 600dpi scans of the booklet for data station a little while back so if you go to the thread there it's there)

After all they've gone through with this audition I am setting my expectations very low at 1 new member. Around what time will it be?

@Thea - The second link seems useful for what I'd need, so thanks!
 
@Kitaoji - if you have individual sleeves that would be great, I would gladly take them! But if not I will probably just order what Thea linked, since that's pretty much what I'm looking for.

Me too... I was going back and forth on it but the new song convinced me.

Wow Kitaoji thanks for the really informative post! I'm not much of a photo collector but it really helps.   Speaking of sleeves, where do you get them? I was just browsing Amazon but I'm not sure what size to get. (my plan was to mail them with a 5x7in card which is why they needed to be less than ...

I went ahead and got them anyway  
 
I believe the ones I got are L size which makes them roughly the size I am looking for (less than 5x7in). I went off CDjapan's measurements of 12.7cm x 8.9cm.

How big are the official photos (like the photo sets they release for concerts)? I was thinking about getting some for someone I know but I'm not sure how big they are. Would anyone be able to give a rough estimate? Thanks!

I used Thea's sorter. It made this a lot easier. Thanks Thea! 100% unsurprised by my number 1 song honestly. I got really addicted to this song... it makes me so happy when I listen to it. Also I don't know Tsubaki songs very well besides Hitorijime+haven't heard the Kobushi album songs (besides Thi...

I really like this.   When I heard the intro I wondered if they'd continue with that song, since that's the song in Jiriri Kiteru but Moonlight Sonata!! It really hit on my love for classical music. There's liner notes from the songwriter/composer in the video description which I decided to translat...

H!P website says 9/21 for both the DVD and Bluray versions.

SMAP is going to disband at the end of the year.
 
There'd been rumors going around for some time, but it's official now.

I just went to 4 different sites and they all have September 21 listed as the release date, but H!P's site has 10/26? I'm so confused.
