Morning Musume - Wakuteka Take a Chance

[Kalle]

I'm glad they excised the 'everyone just sits around looking bitchy / grumpy' shots they had in the temp version, I don't think they did anything for me at all.



The new dance shot is all right, but for some reason, I feel like some of the moves are more... jittery and less fluid, I guess, than they were in the other one? I can't quite explain it, but I noticed it most when it got to the part with Sayu's chant. /nitpicknitpick

[Mukuro]

I love it! It's so much better than the previous one! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' /> I have high hopes for the final product!

[Mukuro]

Omg Masaki that was too cute!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

I love how now that Ap moved all the OT stuff, it looks like Yuzu just randomly declared her love for Japanese porn.

"Slapping our bottoms"? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> I don't remember that part of the dance. Japan must have a looser definition of ass slapping.

HAHAHA I didn't even notice that.



I wish we could combine the two PVs. I loved the big set in the first one, but I love more girls dancing in flames and Ayumin and Haruka in the dance shot!



Also, #2, that's exciting!

[yuzuriha]

THAT WAS AWESOME! Better than a lot of my students were able to do even reading it.



I love "Also don't miss it when we are slapping our bottoms." hahahahaha YES

[Ajisaitea]

I prefer the temp pv better. It was more dynamic in a way with how the set in the backdrop was used. They certainly didn't need to add more sparkles and fire it was fine the way it was with the first pv. Just adding in the dance shots would have made it better.

[showraniy]

Wow, I really like the new one so much more. Yeah, it still looks cheap in some areas (a few of the fire shots look weird IMO), but overall it's much better. And so glad they removed that group shot at the end with Reina glaring into the camera and everyone else looking constipated and confused.



Whee sparkles! Also, am I the only one who thinks they changed the dance a little since the last version?

Performance on Happy Music

[honey]

dem 1998 flame effects i can't even



The almost-complete version looks a lot better but now the shots are so obviously recorded at different times that it just seems broken. You can't cover everything with a layer of glitter i see what you're doing



They look good in that live performance though, I almost wish that was the official PV instead.

[momoirosaya]

and the talk portion

[Anderei]

It sounds terrible with that mix of backtrack and live. Should have just lipsynced the entire thing, in my opinion. One Two Three fell short live too.

And yet another version!



The best one so far.

[/quote]



I don't see how this is an improvement.

[roddyreta]

Temp. version was far better.



I don't get UFP's strategy here. Releasing 3-4 PVs for this single that are substantially similar? I think that just confuses people, and makes each indvidual PV less popular.



I'd rather see them release PVs for the B-sides.

[al kusanagi]

I don't see this as them releasing multiple PVs so much as I think they're letting us see the editing/development process of a performance./PV

[neshcom]

Not to mention they've been getting a damn fine amount of views on their videos. Mix in the fact that a lot of the clips are monetized with ads and the master plan is revealed:



The $20 they make from YouTube ads doubles their PV budget and pays for more sparkles that we, the fans, watch and re-watch and debate and re-watch again. Caught you, Tsunku <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />

[Anderei]

The PV budget gets doubled and all it pays for is sparkles? Goddamn.

I noticed them right off. In fact while watching the Happy Music performance I said to myself, "New Shoes yeah ugly leg warmmer things are gone." and "WOW Kanon has really big feet.".



I really like this song but live....not so much.

Basically this. I noticed Zukki's monster feet. I have no idea HOW she's able to dance in those monster shoes. But they obviously threw her in them to make sure she doesn't go and roll her ankle again.



Then I noticed that Sayu and Reina have different shoes and the rest of the girls all are wearing the same shoes.

[showraniy]

I noticed Reina and Kanon's shoes, but that was about it. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



Live was oooodd and ended on a weird section of the song without doing the hand-rolly dance move that they should've finished with. I don't know what it is, but I hate the chorus of this song. Everything leading up to it is golden and solid, but the chorus just never sits right with me. Before I liked MM, I used to think the same thing about their songs, so it's weird to feel that way again.

I think they finally got the full version and have been cycling through all the filters. Someone found the fire feature because I have NO clue why the hell it's in the MV other then a, "Oh what does this button do." NEEDS MORE FIRE!



I'm surprised they didn't put sparkles on top of the fire. Might have to wait for the final version to see that.

I almost want sparkle fire now.

Dear God Please No.



They are already stuck in cheap PV hell. Do we really need them to pull out the sparkle fire of doom? I want them to have epic great pvs not epic bad ones. LOL

[Anderei]

The fire is clearly there to cement Mizuki and Riho's sexy images.
