Morning Musume - 10 My Me (Album Talk)

[tsukinobyouin]

^ Maybe some of the girls that are left out just ...aren't graduating? Most idols seem to manage to finish high school, but there have been some that drop out. I could see how Miyabi could be so busy with Buono + Berryz that she's still working at it. Though Maasa and Chinami can't really play that card. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sigh:' />



So there's a tracklist out for MM's album from Tower Records:



1. Moonlight night ～月夜の晩だよ～ [Moonlight night ~Tsukiyo no Ban da yo~]

2. 気まぐれプリンセス [Kimagure Princess]

3. 元気ピカッピカッ！ [Genki Pikappika!]

4. 涙ッチ [Namidacchi]

5. 女が目立って なぜイケナイ [Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai]

6. 大きい瞳 [Ookii Hitomi]

7. あの日に戻りたい [Ano Hi ni Modoritai]

8. なんちゃって恋愛 [Nanchatte Renai]

9. 大阪 美味しいねん [Osaka Oishii Nen]

10. Loving you forever

11. しょうがない 夢追い人 [Shouganai Yume Oibito]

12. 雨の降らない星では愛せないだろう？(中国語Ver.) [Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou? (Chinese Ver.)]



The DVD that comes with the LE will have Onna ga Medatte solo versions for each member (I'm assuming they mean solo angles, rather than each member actually getting a PV where they sing the whole song alone). It also has a live version of the song from the Mobekimasu tour and a making of featurette of the jacket shooting.



No list of who sings what yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if Osaka Oishii Nen was an Aika solo. It would be cool if Ame no Furanai Hoshi Chinese Ver. was a JunLin duet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did it as a big choral number ala Jasmine Flower with JunLin getting the same solos they got in the original.

Morning Musume is (kind of) covering an Ice Creamusume song! How backwards! But why bother writing a new song when you already have one ready? This song is about the world though, so I think we should be hearing some terrible English accents on this album.

again. :[

I love "Ame no Furanai..." but I'm starting to get sick of it.

9. 大阪 美味しいねん [Osaka Oishii Nen]

I can has Osaka-dialect song again?

[Shoujo Q]

Can I hope that Loving You Forever is another craptastic Engrish filled love fest, please? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sigh:' />



IT'S YOU!!!!

Oh if only they released this when it was appropriate to make Fat Yossi jokes <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /lmfao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

[thamychan]

Would Aika really get another solo song? But Ame no Furanai would only be amazing if it were a JunLin duet, although I think they would be going backwards, as they have been separating the duo a lot lately. And Genki sounds soooo Koharu. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

[Special Needs Tricycle]

Yeah, really doubting that Aika's going to get another solo. I'm willing to bet it's going to be a song with all the members and sound something like Bon Kyu Bon Kyu Bomb Girl. :T



I wouldn't be against another Aika solo, though. Maybe she'll get the lead.

I actually love Aika but I don't another solo, now a lead would be great! And now I remember Tsunku saying something about Linlin and ballads. There will probably be something like it there. Or not, Tsunku did say he was in love with Aika once and never really showed anything... Although I think she'll be getting a PB this year!



Oh, second to another Bon Kyu Bon Kyu Bomb Girl! The B-sides have been interesting but I need a new ultra hyper song, even though they don't usually come in albums lately... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... unsure.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

[Shoujo Q]

No previews yet but the release thread was turning into a giant album talk thread so I thought it deserved its own little thread. Aren't I nice? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />



I wonder if album previews will start to be released this week or next?





Here are the covers. I'd split all the album talk into this thread but then my release thread would be full of rolling tumbleweeds. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />







They need to get a new graphic designer on staff, quick. All these covers are just going down hill and no imagination at all.

SANKYUU FOR SPREADING ASS!!!



As much as my appreciation of LinLin went up from her performance at AX last year, I really reject the idea of H!P songs being redone on albums, especially when they're redone by the same group. Maki & MKB's cover of Mirai no Tobira's a rare exception.



And GOD I hope that Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai DVD actually IS solo performances. Maybe then all you Aika fags'll finally open your damn eyes & ears.



Otherwise, wheee album! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... xcited.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

[Haru]

I immensely disliked Aika's solo on the last album. The music, her voice, all of it. :[



But am I the only one who actually likes the covers?

Well.

I like the regular one (assuming regular is the one with the black background. Can't read kanji...*headdesk*), but LA is kinda...eww. Eri and Sayu's arms are getting nommed. :c



I was actually thinking about this the other day. The people who work for Berryz Koubou and do their album art need to go talk to the Momusu department. All of Berryz' Limiteds are so awesome.

[BonkyuAsh]

Osaka Oishii Nen better be an Aika lead!!!!



I Like the covers. I'm not usually very picky about stuff like that though.

I'm positive the Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai DVD is solo close-ups, like it has been since Nai Chau Kamo.

[neshcom]

Once again, JEW MAIMI

[Gerald]

Difficult to tell from those small pics but they look OK to me, but then again I'm more concerned about the content <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />.

[showraniy]

I can live with the covers. They're boring but otherwise aesthetically pleasing, so meh. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />



I demand a JunLin duet for Aisewhatev Furanai Hoshi Darou. It'd just be an even bigger disservice to the Pandas to not let them sing it by themselves. Or at least lead while the other girls come in for the chorus to keep that We Are The World vibe going.



[quote name='JSp']Although I think [Aika]'ll be getting a PB this year![/quote]



Oh gawd, please don't get my hopes up. D: I've been wanting an Aika PB for ages.

[Haru]

After the extreme disinterest the rest of the girls showed in singing that Chinese song, I think it'd really be best.

[mrsross]

I would just shit on myself if Ame no.... is a Jun/Lin duet and if they have another Aika solo. I just hoping for an Ai/Lin duet. Hopefully it will be Loving You Forever.

[Shoujo Q]

Profile/Group shot changed on H!P Site.





Risa looks very uncomfortable in her close up profile shot.

[tsukinobyouin]

Singer list is out. They've split up by generation:



Ookii Hitomi - Eri, Sayumi, Reina

Ano Hi ni Modoritai - Ai, Risa

Osaka Oishii ya nen - Aika, JunJun, LinLin



Everything else is a group song.

I'm bored so let's do some line by line comments.

JunJun looks bored. Aika looks cute and 80s, props for doing a different hairstyle. LinLin looks like she's going to a funeral. WTF is up with Risa's face? The profile shot isn't as bad as this one, it made me snort! That dress has a really unflattering ruffle at her armpit too. Of all the shots to pick, they picked the most unflattering. Sayumi looks like Sayumi, can't really say she looks good or bad or anything. Eri is hot and I'm wondering how the hell she managed to get a bright colorful skirt when the rest of the group is trapped in black and gray. TakaAi is beautiful as always, she has a great mature look the other girls lack. And Reina looks like Reina. She always seems to have this partygirl vibe to her in group shots. As for profile shots, Takahashi's, Risa's and Sayu's aren't flattering at all.



BOO predictable singer list! But I look forward to them all.

[Farrah]

Eri looks like Tablo from Epik High in drag, which is somewhat frightening XD I love her, but her profile pic is not very flattering, as a matter of fact, I think everyone looks worse than usual except Linlin and Junjun. Linlin's hair finally looks good!

[showraniy]

Wow, Linlin looks amazing in her profile shot! What a sexy, mature vibe she can give off if she wants to.



The group shot is unflattering to everyone in it, sorry to say, and Risa happens to look bad in both. But I'd say everyone generally looks amazing except Ai, Eri, and Risa. Reina's pose and face don't look too nice in her profile shots, but I'm won over by those sexy fishnet stockings, so she passes for now.



Mitsui's star-spangled tights (<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />) are definitely kickass though.

[Nicky]

Whoa Risa looks quite old in that picture. o.o Mittsi looks great there.

How cute, same gen, same song... Why am I not excited about it? At least the 8th gen trio is not something we've seen before too much although it should be Guru Guru Jump all over again. Now those profile pics... Whoah, almost everyone looks very different. Ai, Risa, Eri and LinLin look like they are out of old Momusu... Reina and Aika are normal. JunJun is JunJun although I've seen that face expression somewhere else before... Airi? Sayumi looks younger. But good pics!

Booooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing



Maybe this indicates a new generation after this, though? Maybe they'll announce auditions around this?

[Pucchi-Mo]

So this means that the moonlight song has to be the punch in the face kickass group song.



I predict that あの日に戻りたい is going to be really fucking sad blues.



大阪 美味しいねん is going to be non-Japanese inspired, maybe European, like a goofy polka sound.



大きい瞳 will be synthy and crazy, sort of retro. 80s maybe.

[Farrah]

Is it really necessary to not write the romanized names? lol

[momoirosaya]

Risa looks like a 40 year old in that picture...that dress is very unflattering on her. Eri had the best picture profile and close-up. LinLin's looks nice too XD After that Aika's, JunJun's and Sayu's look best, the others just look ordinary like how they seem all the time. Although Ai looks very mature and it suits her. But in that group shot of all of them,they all look so bored, Risa and LinLin look really pissed, Risa kind of looks like a dissapproving mother, Eri's face looks washed out.

[momoirosaya]

Oh I just noticed something...the color scheme for "MY ME" "SHOCK" and "Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda" is all black, gray, & white. Is Tsunku depressed or something?? Kind of boring color choices...
