BUMP! And hey, if we do get our TNX thread back, I call dibs on making it again.
Third time's the charm. <img src='

Amazing song, and we've watched it quite a few times on my past few visits to Steve's place. The girls sound a little rough in their solo lines, which struck me as odd (since they've made such strides in vocal capability over the past two years). But I'm also glad that there are so many solo lines overall, and that they're well-distributed! The chorus sounds great, and keeps getting stuck in my head at random times. As for the PV, it's easily the best one that TNX has ever done. And they've had some good stuff before, mind you... just nothing this awesome. Further reason why The Possible is my favorite Tsunku-produced act nowadays. Not that I don't love Berryz/Cute, because I adore them. But the whole TNX thing, for many reasons that you guys listed above, just feels better than Hellopro does. And yeah, Tsunku puts a lot of his best and more golden-era-quality writing towards TNX most of the time. Speaking of which, Canary Club needs a new single. Last one of theirs was incredible as well.
[quote name='Koolmon93' post='57359' date='Jan 21 2009, 10:55 PM']On Music Fighter, Robin says they have no ace. I say that's bullshit. Robin is obviously their ace after she suddenly appeared out of nowhere as the lead singer for Kaze no Uwasa. Now, she's hosting their radio show along with Mikki from Canary Club. I just find it funny that there's a Hashimon/Akkyan shuffle between who's the second front girl. Then, we have the occasional, OK! Let's pick from Kaepyon and Gotu and see who we like better in this picture. Poor Mororin. 19 years old and already too old to be a front girl.. THE Possible has had so many changes in image and style that it's hard to keep up. x.x[/quote]
I'd wanted to bring this up, too... the whole issue of group structure. The setup has changed, in small ways, ever since they instituted this. It started back when the split-group singles came out, in summer of 2007. They decided to split the group into a very distinct hierarchy. It was divided into three specific tiers, basically in descending order:
Tier 1: Akiyama & Hashimoto
Tier 2: Robin & Gotou
Tier 3: Morozuka & Oose
The top two tiers got their own singles together, whereas the third tier got put onto Tokito Ami's single as backups. This hierarchy was very specific, and dictated a number of things. From the ordering of their profiles on the official website, to the roles they would get in songs and whatnot. But the structure didn't hold firmly for very long. Once they released Happy15, it was clear that Robin was the new front-girl of the group. She would continue to be so for numerous singles thereafter. And it made sense, as she may be the best vocalist they have. At least when they don't force her to sound super-white on purpose. Which thankfully, with the newer singles, they have stopped doing. But yeah, the group was now divided into only TWO groups, rather than three:
Trio 1: Robin, Akiyama, Hashimoto
Trio 2: Gotou, Morozuka, Oose
Although the top group had a clear leader, in Robin, who basically became their lead singer. This lasted for at least three singles worth. But mind you, in their two most-recent singles, Robin's role as lead-singer has been diminished a bit. So if anything, that makes me think there's an even-newer update to the group structure. Like you said, kinda interesting to try and keep up with it all. As long as their music keeps rocking so hard, I guess it doesn't matter. And I love all six of them, dearly, so I don't mind who they put as their front people. If anything, like you said, Morozuka gets the short end of the stick. Always been in the bottom two or three, even though she deserves more. If nothing else, she's the best-looking member of the group by-far. But her age is a severe limitation, in a world of under-aged idols. Same goes for some of the older members of Canary Club.
