Hey anyone has a picture of Koharu's sister? Due to her recent fiasco on the radio, I've come across references to her sister whom everyone apparently mistook to be the MM member when she first opened the door for the Hello Pro people to tell Koharu that she was chosen as a member.



Im actually really hoping for the sisters of these members to join MM. LIke Kamei's sister. She's totally adorable.

I don't think Koharu has ever posted a photo of her sister. I also know that her sister is older than her and she has a baby.

Episode 4 of "Tenso Sentai Goseiger" was shot at a venue that looks like Yomiuri Land, where Morning Musume and C-ute have performed, among other pop groups.



Is this Yomiuri Land? If not, does anyone recognize it?



Thanks.















For the record, this series is the basis for the brand new season of Power Rangers, "Power Rangers Megaforce," which premieres this Sat. Feb. 2 on Nickelodeon.

That is not Yomiuri Land. Did you look over the opening/closing credits?

The credits are in Japanese, so if they identify the location, I wouldn't know.

Wow, that's it, thank you. Since I can't read Japanese can you tell me what that place is called and where it's located?



Thanks.

I did a Google image search for Chichibu Muse Park, but no images of that stage appear at all. Which doesn't mean it's not it.



In the links Masa provided, the site is identified in Japanese, I think, so I need someone to translate that.



Masa, that second link seems to provide all the locations for the series. I have the whole series, so it'll be great to cross-check the episodes with those sites. I love how Japanese sci-fi superhero series always use actual locations.

[al kusanagi]

It's the same place.

[rob]

It is the muse park, it's just a pretty big place and they have a Yagai (open air) Stage

Ai had just graduated (or was about to soon) and finished her statement about it. She thought she'd finished up and was wrapping up, and then suddenly, a wild Risa appeared with flowers and graduation tears. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />

iirc this was Ai's graduation DVD; Ai was slapping her for scaring her but this is all I can figure.

[yuzuriha]

BTW it really bothers me that the title of that video goes "(Given name) (surname)" smacks "(surname) (given name)". Choose one way to order your names and be consistent goddammit.

[rallyleo]

What bothers me even more is that I just realized my avatar photo is no longer showing. Now I have to go look for another one! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />

[rob]

So Ai was filming her graduation message/interview DVD thing and at the end everyone says "Thats a wrap, thanks for working hard today etc etc" Then Risa surprises Ai.

Ai-chan is angry because she had managed to get through the whole thing without becoming a crying mess until Risa shows up and BAM water works.



So Ai-chan is a little angry but overall she's really happy.



She's saying "Why the hell are you here?!" not because she is angry about her being there, but rather Risa's presence would and did make her cry her eyes out instantly.

OK this is a weird kind of question but I wasn't sure where to put it.



I haven't bought a Morning Musume Album since Rainbow 7. I'm looking to buy just one since I have a little extra cash this month...but I can't decide which. I'm thinking one with the pandas since I'm obsessed. BUT as far as album songs go...which one would you guys recommend? I always prefer super hyper, upbeat songs to ballads and stuff like that.



THANKS. <3

⑩ MY ME is pretty fabulous. Singles covered are Shouganai Yumeoibito - Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai. There are lots of energetic songs. 6gen gets a dancy techno groupsong that was really great (beginning of RoboSayu?) Ai and Risa had a duet. Lots of great stuff. I think it's my favourite album of them all, at this point.

[Anderei]

10 My Me, hands down.



Edit: Mimo beat me to it. It's also got Moonlight Night which is one of the best album openers.

[tsukinobyouin]

I don't know if this is helpful, but these are my personal thoughts:



Sexy 8 Beat - Not that great. You would probably enjoy Genki+ but otherwise there are a lot of ballads or forgettable songs.



COVER YOU - Not sure if you were thinking about this since it's all covers, but the pandas did get a lot more lines than usual here and there are lots of fun songs.



Platinum 9 Disco - Super recommend. The ballads/slow tempo songs are actually quite good, and there's lots of fun and dancey stuff.



10 MY ME - Really good singles on this one, and quite a fair amount of upbeat songs. It's not my favorite album as a whole, but it has a few great individual tracks.



Fantasy! Juuichi - I actually liked this but most people here didn't. I feel like there's quite a few songs here that showcase Eri and Ai's vocals, if you liked them.



12 Smart - This had a lot of potential? There are a lot of fun songs, but it's a little held back by bad vocals.



13 Colorful Character - Great album overall. Lots of vocal improvement from the 9th gen - except Riho, but she's not forced as much to try to be Ai on this album. Lots of upbeat songs. The only two tracks I didn't like were Reina's solo and Pyoco Pyoco.

This.



This is my favorite MM album since Rainbow Seven. And my most listened-to since then as well.

[Melon]

Genki +, 9,10,11 some of 13

[yuzuriha]

Thanks for the recommendations guys!



I'll probably go with 10.



I'm planning on getting 13 anyway next time I have a few extra bucks, but I really wanted one with Pandas this time around. And it seems like I don't have any of the singles featured on 10 so I can just buy the whole album.



/edit I had Kimagure Princess but WHATEVS MAN.

[Anderei]

KP is damn good so it's okay to have it twice.

[yuzuriha]

You are correct, but luckily iTunes was smart enough to recognize I already have it so I only had to pay $9 to complete the album!

What is the "Satoyama movement". This question might stray into more general Japanese culture, but H!P does have some involvement with satoyama life.
