Morning Musume - Wakuteka Take a Chance

[Enmiz]

I want a black light rave to match the neon costumes.



The AyuMizuki duet is cute.





Edit:

You guys, I just now noticed that the outfit colors fill in the spots in the vowels on the single title. Did anyone else miss that, or am I still a snail?

[andrewmarlin]

A little late, but I like the covers. It screams out "HALLOWEEN" to me. They look like they are trying to wear some kind of cute witch's outfit. There is even one cover with a dark background. I love it!!!

[Shoujo Q]

I updated the first page with stuff.



I like Love Innovation. Hello Regular Edition. You're lookin' mighty fine.



Now I just need to wait and see about the poster situation.

[rob]

That first post I made is the best post I've ever made!!

[Enmiz]

I can't really tell Haruna and Eripon apart. It sounds like there's just a ton of Haruna in their song. It seems like a good b-side to me.



Love Innovation is so much cooler, though.

[star]

This is completely unrelated, but I clicked on the dailymotion videos and the thought came to my mind.

Anyway, anyone else notice the amount of inappropriate videos that comes up in the suggestions?



Anyway, I really like Love Innovation.

Videos in the suggestion part usually refer back to what you've been watching. All I get are Musume related videos.





What have YOU been watching?

It may have something to do with the fact that my brother watches porn with my google chrome account.

Give the poor guy the advice to not watch porn on dailymotion. lol

[Shoujo Q]

UFA is getting my hopes up. Because that background looks way too awesome for a standard MM PV.



See, I like to shoot low so if was actually awesome, I wont be disappointed. I just come in disappointed 95% of the time.

I wish they'd used that shot right there for one of the album covers :(

[Melon]

But then the money they paid their photoshopper to photoshop would go to waste!

[Anderei]

I wonder how much that guy makes.







Why is Eripon so short and Zukki so tall?

[yuzuriha]

Those stupid shoes make Eripon and Zukki look like they have trunks for legs.

[strawberryjam]

Uhg, what happened to the wedges?!

[Enmiz]

Apparently they need to look like fluorescent Clydesdales. At least they're not performing in those shoes if the open rehearsal pics are to be believed.

[showraniy]

They still have the wedges on; those frilly ankle-warmer things are just over the top.



I'm hoping they don't perform with all that junk on their feet though, 'cause I can imagine the clydesdale flopping with all the leg movements in this dance.

Wakuteka Take a Chance (仮 ver)

[al kusanagi]

"Temporary" better mean they're taking out all that fucking auto-tune. It's like being ear-raped by a synthesizer in a blender...

[rob]

Can't listen to it, but I watched it and I have to say it "looks" at least like the video budget got upped several notches.



the overall professionalism of the video is great.



And is it just me or is Maa-chan getting cuter all the time??

[Shoujo Q]

Temporary because they filmed another PV the other day. Not sure how it's going to be different? Besides Reina's hair.



Edit: Ayumi not in the first dance shot. Hur~ I pay attention good!



I think they hired a new PV maker. First sparkles now lens flare! More lens flare then Star Trek goin' on all up in here.

[Mugi]

Even though Reina isn't my favorite I have to say she looked so dam awesome in this PV. It was when she was standing in between the lights that I think she looked so amazing. Plus love the short hair. Other then that the PV was ok.



Can anyone tell who was dancing in the fire? I felt like it was only 2 people.

[tsukinobyouin]

This song is so... frustrating. I love the song itself. It's really catchy and fun and they're definitely developing a new "signature sound" for this Musume which might be a good thing if it keeps people's attention. Just as long as they don't get into a rut. The line distribution is much better than One. Two. Three and this time we actually see lots of everyone in the PV (maybe a little less Haruna and Zukki, but we see them way more than in the last one). Everyone looks great and other than Reina who constantly looks the same, all of the girls are working it with their expressions. The PV is actually pretty good and fits the song well. Lots of lens flares, but they're not distracting.



But... the damn autotune and the stupid evil Tsunku voice drowns out half of the lines and dampens some of my excitement. I'd never know that anyone other than Reina and Riho sang if I hadn't seen the PV. This one actually seems the opposite of One. Two. Three - it sounds better live without all the noise.

[freezingkiss]

The PV is good but I still dislike the song, it also wouldn't surprise me if Masaki and Erina became like a 'Risa/Eri' as in, has the second next amount of lines after the front girls, and Mizuki and Ayumi were bumped up in some singles to be front girls.



The autotune is HORRIBLE but especially the low ones. Little Kudo with the voice of a gorilla whyyy

[strawberryjam]

It's a lot better than 1-2-3.



But I just don't get a message of an awesome song!



I actually felt like I was tearing up when I first watched the rehearsal video. I really felt like, 'Wow, things are improving. These girls are trying harder. Management too. I gotta support them!' kind of thing.

But when I watch this PV, I feel like the whole thing falls flat. I feel no emotion put into it. And I feel like it's just another Jpop video instead. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />



Not asking for a huge budget, but some emotion would be great! :thumbups:

[roddyreta]

PV is just okay. As with 1-2-3, they cover up the bargain basement budget with a lot of flare effects. But it's not as overdone this time.



Helps that the girls look great as always. Sayu and Fuku-chan are turning into quite a duo.

[Miss Moonlight]

Ugh, these may be their worst PV outfits ever. I can't take them seriously when I watch this. Everyone in this group is adorable; you have to work reeeeeally hard to un-flatter them this badly.



Maybe they have an editing intern or something, because it's like they JUST discovered sparkles and lens flare and haven't reached the point in their art education yet where they realize that it's not actually cool <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

I agree, but they'll probably get better. We've never had this many newbies just thrust into the spotlight without a ton of veterans to overshadow them till they get themselves straightened out. They're probably still thinking hard about their dance moves and facial expressions during the PV filming rather than just listening to the music and emoting naturally.

[Haru]

Masaki, are you feeling okay? I'm too busy staring at her wonky eyebrows to focus on much else; but god dammit get the lens flare out.
