Dance Cover of 123. It's pretty good. No boys this time.

Dark pink (there's also a lighter pink) is sexy.

Turquoise looks like Mogli from the MM audition. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/sick.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sick:' />

Brown and yellow-green have zero screen presence. lol

Red's eyes ARE STARING RIGHT INTO OUR SOULS AAAAAHHHHHHHHH-

[Anderei]

Kei talks AS FOR ONE DAY.



Miki and Shabondama.

[tsukinobyouin]

Weird, I thought they would have had Reina do Shabondama. There are plenty of other Miki-centric songs.



I FINALLY got my copy of the single, along with my sad not-as-awesome "other stores" poster. Does anyone want it (for the cost of shipping only)? I'd still love to get my hands on either the Shinseido, Tsutaya, Yamano, or HMV version, but no luck on ebay yet :(



I did find several signed posters though if anyone wants to grab them: Ayumi, Harunan, Eripon, Mizuki.

It is all good!! First come first serve

[Melon]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

[momoirosaya]

That's like all of my favorite members minus Sayu and I have no money <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />



Oh well.... it's not like I need it. In the end it would just be a waste of $40... $48 w/ shipping.

[tsukinobyouin]

Yup, Al was fast <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> I always end up with posters I have no space for though, so maybe next time you'll get one, Andrew.



RE: The signed posters.



They're relatively cheap considering that they're signed, but I'm not sure I'd want to buy one. Even if it were a super rare one from Kago back in the day or something, it's just not the same if I didn't meet the person and have them sign it for me. But if I couldn't find any other (cheap) copy of that poster, it would be kind of cool to have one signed by one of my favorite members as a bonus to the actual poster itself.

[al kusanagi]

Yeah, I'd drop money maybe for a poster signed by the entire group, but not for one member. Well, maybe Sayu.

[Enmiz]

My single finally came. I got a ticket thing in it. Too bad I'm too lazy to really read it and see what it's for. Either way, it'd be past by now, I think.

I heard that she decided never to smile on purpose when she performs the song. (13:25~)

Ah, that explains it.

Thanks for the link !

[Madara]

Yesterday at a Wota party we watched a clip of a promo event where the girls performed this song at a mall in Japan. We noticed that some of the girls, esp. Haruka, looked really tired. We also commented on how much weight Kanon Suzuki has put on and how miserable she looked. Has anyone commented on this on the board anywhere? (I looked in the Zuki Appreciation thread, but didn't find anything on it and have no idea where else to look.) If so, does anyone have any insights into what her situation is? Just curious.

[al kusanagi]

My theory is that her days are numbered and she's most likely going to pull out of the group by the time the 11th generation arrives.

[Noa]

She's 12 and going through puberty and gets a lot of shit for it. She's looked absolutely miserable for awhile.

[Banana]

She's 13 (going to be 14 next month). Anyway, I feel really bad for her, but I'm sure she'll get a handle on it eventually, and I don't think she's going to leave or anything.

[Anderei]

She needs a growth spurt and better styling. Mizuki would be having the same problem as her if she wasn't tall. The fact that any girl who isn't a stick thin waif gets any shit at all is pathetic. The only people who look at her and think she's fat are people with unrealistic standards that believe one size equals thin. It's not as if she's walking around with stomach rolls and a double chin. You can tell that even though she's thicker she's in no way overweight.

This. A lot.

[/quote]



Yes, a lot. That's how the Zukki Appreciation thread came to be in the first place. Regarding that particular performance that you just watched there were comments that she was sick that day, coughing a lot. It's possible she just wasn't feeling well. But she has seemed down recently, and I imagine it's due to what Anderei mentions. There have been a lot of negative comments from Japanese fans about her weight. She's also mentioned struggling with dance, and the recent singles have been pretty dance heavy. We also speculated that she might feel a bit out of place in the cool/sexy type songs, because her strengths are smiling and laughing and being silly. She seems fine during their recent Black Variety appearance, where everyone is kind of goofing around.

[MagnesV]

I finally listened to The Matenrou Show (I usually take a while to hear b-sides). All I have to say is... WHY IS THIS THE B-SIDE?!



I'm in love with it.
