Morning Musume - Wakuteka Take a Chance

[yuzuriha]

51th single guys. 51th.





On a side note. re:strawberry showing momusu to coworkers.



OK so I work with my dad in a small office of four of us. About half the year it's actually only three of us because we have a British salesperson who splits his time between the US and UK offices. My dad has his own office, the office manager has her own, and then the British salesman and myself sit out in the main office. I used to listen to Pandora (very quietly) but within the past month or so I was like hey, I can listen to momusu on the computer thanks to YOUTUBE. So I started listening to various H!P channels, once again very quietly. He never said anything and a cubicle wall separates us so I figured it didn't bother him. Well last week my dad said that he overheard him saying something about "Japanese torture music". SO I started using headphones, which I never thought of before because I needed to hear if people were talking to me.



SO I now use headphones, still VERY quietly, so I can hear if anyone is talking to me. YET the other day WITH the earphones on...I overheard him whistling along to "Happy Summer Wedding".





Totally off topic but berry's post reminded me of it.











Q - My OCD was quite bothered by that as well. How hard would that have been?



Is Reina wearing CAT EARS? Or is it just a weird fuzzy version of her usual stupid bow? I don't know which answer would be worse, tbh.

I don't think we'll be seeing her in a single before February or March, Andrew.

They'll have a new single ready for the Winter concert, so we'll probably get in January, early to mid February at the latest.

Wow that is a while. I just never did notice it with the 9th and 10th generation members. The 9th generation was my first audition to set through as a MM fan. Guess I should just be patient.



She should still be in the Fall concert tour right? Or has that already started? I don't know any of the dates. What was her name and age again?

[/quote]



Ugh, wish I saw this earlier.



I made a beautiful post here, you should totally see it. I also updated the first page with everything you ever wanted to know about Sakura.

Knowing how UFA/H!P usually work, these are probably future album covers. [Got them from Jplop.]

And also the posters that come with the CDs. I actually like them a lot.

Now they just need to announce them so I can order them alllllllll <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' />





And yuzu, I heard my coworker listen to the song more than once. I think they're just not willing to admit it's good. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

And totally random aside, someone asked me at work about the music I listen to. And for the first time, since forever, I didn't hesitate showing what I like with this new MM. Although his reaction was just, "fantastic, a bunch of Japanese girls jumping." <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... smooch.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='=3=' />

Ask him if he doesn't want happiness in his life ! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />



The big pro about studying Japanology is that everybody always expects me to listen to this kind of stuff and none of them is really surprised. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /crazy.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':crazy:' />

Haha YES! I'd love to see how much fun he'd have if he was coming to karaoke with us in a few weeks.

[Shoujo Q]

LQ Covers are out. They blew the budget last single so you're stuck with the same old photoshopped crap this time around.

[aine]

I feared worse. Limited D and E GET'S. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... smooch.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='=3=' />

[Shoujo Q]

Bigger Covers! So they are half photoshopped and half not. Mutant covers!





Regular









Limited A - Photoshopper was like, SCREW YOU ERINA HAIR!









Limited B - Reina is a midgit and Haruka had a major growth spurt.













Limited C - Ayumi's going to kill you in your sleep and Riho's a giant.













Limited D









Limited E









Limited F - Let's just photoshop Sayumi and Haruna in. No one will notice!

[Ap2000]

Limited D is cute.

[showraniy]

Wow, Ayumi and Mizuki?! That's not the pair I was expecting from the thumbnail. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... mellow.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mellow:' />

[Anderei]

LE C and D have a Mizuki/Ayumi duet as the b-side.



That said, these are terrible. Regular and D are the least offending to my senses.

[yuzuriha]

OMG those are all so bad but I laughed at Q's commentary.

[Haru]

These are the worst things I've seen in my life. This makes Kimagure Princess' covers look great. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[Kaworu]

Haha these covers are terrible.

[Mukuro]

Just gonna agree with everyone else, but I have to say Limited D is the best of them all. Ayumi's stare is creepy.

Here's a preview of the Ayu/Mizu song

Is there any particular reason why these two got a duet? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/huh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':huh:' /> Are they often paired up?

[Solarblade]

no idea lol, I just assume Tsunku just wanted to break from the generational splitting this time around? I mean I cant find any reason why Reina, Masaki, and Haruka are together and the other 5 are together





Anyways, I'm not a big fan of Daisuki 100 Manten....seems so....album songish to me....at least I enjoyed Fuutsu no Shoujo A a lot more ^^.....Now I'm curious to what Haruna, Sayu, Riho, Kanon, and Erina ended up with

Are B-sides usually supposed to be better than album songs? I've kind of assumed it as common practice to hold them both at equal standards <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />



I actually like it, oddly enough. The song is relatively catchy, they both sound fairly energetic, and it's nice to hear Mizuki's voice next to someone that ISN'T Sayumi. You know you have a problem when [Robo]Sayu overpowers your voice. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nfused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Bring on the other B-Sides!!!

[Shoujo Q]

I bet they were intended to be generation songs, but Tsunku decided to mix them up at the last minute. You can tell the girls were put together in generation poses at first, but other girls were photoshopped in.



I'm not hearing all the love for Mizuki's voice. The feels like it wants to be high energy, but all I'm feeling is low energy.

[Banana]

Song is cute. Forgettable, but cute.

For me personally, it's not that she's amazing or anything; she's just one of the very few girls in the group who I can listen to without wanting to claw my ears off.

[yuzuriha]

Love this much better than the single itself. <3 not enough to actually buy the single though. Maybe if I'm rich one day I will haha

Will it have all the limited editions though? If I remember correctly, not every single has all the limited editions on iTunes.

[cadmonkey]

They had the three generation songs from 123 on iTunes, so they should have them for this single (although they've been all over the place with their iTunes library).

They usually do, but sometimes you have to hunt for them since they're listed in different ways.

Ok cool. Da-ishi <3!

Yeah, your comment about Sayu & Haruna made it clear that they were doing a 9th gen shoot.



I like the Koopaling/Chun Li wristbands, but that's as far as compliments will go for those outfits.



WHAT THE HELL DID THEY DO TO REINA? I can't think of a single moment when she was styled worse than this. I almost typed "styled whore than this"

[Ajisaitea]

I have to say these album covers are some of the worst they have come up with. I fear for what the PV is gonna look like.
