[quote="TicTacAnyone"] You could tell Ayaka was upset with herself when she missed the note on the first line, but she picked it back up and sounded good the rest of the song. Also, Harunan, I love you Q_Q [/quote]   Oh my gosh. It was so funny yet painful to see her eyes as she realized h...

There had damn well better be!

Eripon is a goddess!
 
I just love how all of these girls are essentially like "We finally have makeup and costumes that we WANT to show off!"
 
This styling and these covers are almost as brilliant as C-ute's last full album covers. Those were WAYYYY beyond Hello! Project standards.

I don't know what ya'll are smoking. Love take it all is all sorts of awesome! Chisato and Airi kill it vocally, and the other girls do a wonderful job as well. The video is also really good. It's incredibly simple, but the girls are moving around and working it enough to keep things interesting thr...

So… Is last year's fall Morning Musume concert not getting a DVD release?

 
I saw them in October and definitely need that to happen! 

Here's a CM that previews some of the new songs on the album:

I'm pretty excited, you guys.

The performance was pretty meh, but Sakura killed it more that usual.
 
Listen to her "IRONY" line - her vibrato is starting to develop rather nicely!

I can dig it. This song is such a grower.

Oh, oh! Wait!

 
I have Erina's t-shirt from the recent tour, a black Morning Musume shirt, a penlight, a towel, and a photo book - all from the concert!

[quote="Star"] So much stuff. I'm so jealous. I would show off stuff, but I don't have any. [/quote]   I'm with Star on this. All I own is Morning Musume's BEST ~Updated~ CD that I bought when I was in Japan last year.   Maybe someday I'll be rich enough to just buy every H!P single and al...

I may have to buy this...

[quote="Derby"] I agree with you all, this song is not good as a concert song. The climax of this song is Sayu's shot, and, obviously, we can't see it live. Btw, why is everyone in Youtube saying that Sato was crying during the performance? "But Ayumi looked a bit worried when she was...

The only credit I can give those two is that their english is impeccable. Otherwise it's just a half-baked snore-fest and a ruination of my favorite Christmas song.

Hah! When I was there, they were playing Berryz' latest MVs on that exact screen! 

Since their last song I've decided that Akari is fucking amazing, but nobody really seems to care about her.
Am I crazy for thinking her voice is better than half of her bandmates?

It was nice to hear everyone sing, even if it was in a fairly lackluster song!   I don't hate it. I agree with the rest of you that it's weak, though. It could have packed a lot of punch and been a lot more enjoyable if whomever arranged it wasn't afraid to add a bit more flair with the electric gui...

Alrighty, guys! I'm headed to Japan now. I can't wait to tell you guys all about it!

[quote="ShiroiChanUK"] Would someone mind translating what these deluxe sets involve please? :)  [/quote]   I could probably use this, too.   Are the photos and whatnot actually signed, or is it printed that way? The photo of the more expensive set looks signed.   I wonder if DVD magazines...

Oh, wow! I didn't realize they did that.
How much does that usually run for?
 
And they can be purchased at the venue?

So thanks to the amazing help and efforts of TnB, I'm going to be able to make it to the tour date on the 13th!!   This is a big dream of mine, and I can't believe that it's happening so soon.   The only problem now? The incredibly ridiculous amount of money I'm going to spend on concert goods  :whe...

Well, their mini-album tanked worse than I'm sure most people expected. I doubt we'll see them again anytime soon.
 
None of the girls even seemed to into it to begin with.

You guys.
I just played and finished Bioshock: Infinite.
 
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
 
My mind has been savagely sodomized due to that ending. 

Thanks! I'm going through a proxy service at the moment to get tickets since I live in the U.S., but it's really slow going working with the lady the runs it. Between the time it takes to get replies from her, most tickets on auction sites disappear. If anybody can help me with alternatives, please ...

I'm killing myself to get tickets to the 10/13 or 10/14 show. I'll be so depressed if I'm in Japan while this is happening and can't go.

I'm loving it!   I'll agree with some of you that the electronic thing they're doing is a little heavy handed. I personally thought the strings were too reminiscent of "Ai no Gundan" at points.    Some of you need to realize something, though: songs like RR21 and Love Machine have been DON...

Sounds... sexy?
 
But for all we know they'll probably just be dancing in tutus and corsets that match their member colors.

THANK YOU JESUS.           

Riho really needs to take a backseat for a little while.   I personally love her as a front girl, but all of these recent live performances have me totally convinced that there is something legitimately wrong with her voice. She's struggling with every note that she's given, which wasn't as much of ...

My initial excitement from the covers subsided immediately with the release of that music video.

Man... 8 days till release and no b-side rips?

How will I know which version to pre-order?!
