Morning Musume - Wakuteka Take a Chance

[roddyreta]

I think it's fantastic. I even like it better than 1-2-3.



The PV, of course, will be a crushing disappointment. Especially since the dance shot apparently won't be including Haruka and Ayumi.

[rallyleo]

So yeah, at this point who cares about the new album?



It's all about the 51st single!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[Melon]

Aren't singles more important than albums nowadays anyway? Especially for idols?

Now back to Rob!

At first I was afraid it was going to be disgusting wubstep, but luckily it's not.

What it does sound like however, is ~3 songs mixed into one.

It's not bad, not so generic like a lot of H!P singles the past few years, but I don't see myself listening to it more than once (when the MV gets released).



Somehow, since 10th gen joined, they only have really bizarre dances. lol

[rob]

With this one especially it seems they have upped the skill level for the choreography, nice to see them improving so fast!

This is so awful, I can't even listen to half the song and the dance shot did nothing but piss me off when I watched it. And just when I thought things couldn't get worse than 1,2,3, this happens. I don't know how they keep coming up with worse garbage than before. This is absolute bottom-barrel shit music. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/geof.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':geof:' />

Calm yo' tits, hun.



I'm sure they'll be out of this mecha music cycle fairly soon.



I don't mind autotune much in general, and I think the dance is pretty unique! Sucks Ayumi and Haruka won't be in the dance shot, but I'm sure they'll figure out a way to give them some pretty good screen time.



This song seems to take main elements from Renai Hunter, What's Up, and One.Two.Three and add some I don't even know what. Whatever. I fail at description.



I've been really excited about what Morning Musume has done this year. I didn't think they would stay my favorite H!P group for long since I normally waffle between the kids and MM, but they have done it! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />





Edit: My husband says it sounds like they recruited GladOS from Portal to do some backup vocals.



This song is definitely going in my gettin' skinny playlist. I'm already kind of addicted.

[showraniy]

This has a few copycat 1,2,3 dance moves I'm not in love with, and reminds me of how Nanchatte Renai was a sad attempt to grasp at Shouganai's success way back when that was the hot new shit in town.



Oh well, I like trance and electronica much more than whatever Nanchatte was trying to be, so I actually really like this song. It would've been better with less autotune, but I don't blame them for repeating a formula that worked so well for them before.



ALSO, I WANT MY DAMN LASERS THIS TIME, UFA <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />

[MiniLovely]

I liked Nanchatte Renai. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />



Yes to the lasers, though!!



After my ~ninetieth listen, I can comfortably say this is one of my favourite MM songs in awhile. It's like a better Renai Hunter without that weird crab jig! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' /> I like this better than 123, which I like but I find isn't listenable on the longterm. With 123's success, the albums' awesomeness and this new song, MM are on a roll this year.

I like when Tsunku continues to try new things instead of being predictable and doing the same style of music again and again.

The irony of this is absolutely wonderful given their last few singles.

This is excellent stereotypical AEUGNewtype impression. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

I'd like to be impressed with something they do, I really would, but it hasn't happened in 11 singles. When is it time to give up?

Considering Tsunku just doesn't handle Morning Musume and has been doing this for over 15 years, I'm going to stand by my statement and just shake my head at your narrow one.

When just about everyone else is enjoying what they hear.



I'll admit having Reina and Riho and the Musumes with special guest Sayumi is slightly annoying, but when the song is decent it's not as bad. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' />

It's fine not to like it but....

[andrewmarlin]

I am loving this but where is my Queen?!?!?! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />



She should be up there with the Princess instead of Riho <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />

[Shoujo Q]

Uhm... I'm confused? Why would you want Queen Elizabeth in a Morning Musume single?

Coming from you, rob, this has very little meaning <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

[yuzuriha]

UGH. I was reading this in car on the way home from New York and based on everyone's comments I was SO excited, but this is nothing but disappoint.



I AM SO SICK OF THE CUTESY CHANTING. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.





Also, tell Reina to stop spreading her ugly baggy crotch pants to the girls I like.



Kanon was so enthusiastic during the dance though.



Haruna was just so lackluster though. I was almost embarrassed seeing her in the front for a few parts.



But yeah...after Renai Hunter and One Two Three this is just a big ol' disappointment for me. :'(

[rob]

That was the point

[Shoujo Q]

You know you can't really judge anyone for this dance. This is obviously a practice dance that was never meant to be shown to anyone outside the company and the girls to show them what they are doing wrong and how to fix those mistakes.



The fact Haruka and Ayumi got injured means we'll never get to see this fully envisioned dance because they'll be cutting two of the girls out of it for the single release. Which is why Tsunku decided he wanted this released so people could see what he and the dance instructors and created for the song as a whole. Truth is, we'll probably never see this again because once 11 gen comes the dance is going to evolve into something else entirely.

[mrsross]

I love it. I just pray that the outfits match the song this time. We're going to have more sparkles for the PV, right?

Q, not Queen Elizabeth. Queen Sayu!!!!



Pulled the concept from the USB of a spring concert. Where Risa was queen and the rest were her subjects. So now I just say Queen Sayu and Princess Reina

Yeah, I know, I just know that whenever I had dance practice I'd always give it my full anthusiasm, even in just rehearsal.



And yes I am SOOOOOO upset that Ayumi is injured. I finally have a new favorite girl and she's out of the dance shot like four singles in :(





/edit Sucks about Haruka too, it just figures that I haven't had a girl I could really call my favorite in a couple years now and once I do she's injured pretty quickly.

Yeah, I was just wondering who this dude was. Glad I'm not the only one.

We have a thread for that. Do it there if you must practice.





ALSO back on topic!









Someone made this version with the backing vocals.



At 1:12, WTF Is that? That's not Mizuki, that's a creature from the dark depths of the underworld, crying out in pain.

[momoirosaya]

The "shake it up" or "check it out" or whatever they say in the chorus in the demon voice at the end is still the scariest.
