Morning Musume 44th Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game

[Milly]

A concert rip for EriJunLin's last single has popped up. [Youtube]. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />



It's Russian style kinda similar to Kimagure Princess and Balalaika.



B-side is Aisaresugiru koto ha nai no yo. [Youtube]

[DarkRidley]

Oh yes, I really like this type of H!P song. The instrumental part from 3:24 onwards is really fucking epic, as is the ending. Lots of strings, which I would normally take issue with, but they're used really well here. I can't wait for a HQ rip. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />



With Aisaresugiru long name blah blah as the B-side, this seems to be a necessary purchase for me. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

[Shoujo Q]

I can't wait to hear the real thing, the instrumental interests me greatly. I might just have to break down and buy this single if the album cover and extras aren't bad.



And with an instrumental break like they have, the dance/and or PV better not disappoint.

[Haru]

I like how Morning Musume starts improving as the members with the really good voices leave. Good job, Tsunku.

[AquaChan]

Bye bye boring Seishun Collection!



We'll just need to see if JunLin will get solos now -.-

[momoirosaya]

I really like it XD And I love the B-side, I guess I should buy this too~

I'm hoping they have cool dance to go with it, and better outfits than Seishun Collection.

This better have a good PV!

[Haru]

I just thought of this.



Kimagure Princess - Russian-esque rock = Koha's graduation

Lullaby Game - Russian-esque rock = EriJunLin's graduation



I see trend.

[Pucchi-Mo]

How about this one.

Eri's 1st single: Naive girls who get their heart broken.

JunJun&LinLin's 1st single: Naive girls who get their heart broken.

(I'm kidding, I know MM is built on this concept)

That's been the pattern before. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> [Been there/Done that]

If MM didn't get cooler in some way, we'd stop caring. Right?

It all happens in cycles, there has to be a balance.



Good Job, Tsunku ...for delivering a good final single+sushi platter.

I'm just hoping that the 11th album will be consistently strong.



This kind of makes me think of Sexy Snow. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

The pauses are hot.

[Special Needs Tricycle]

I need to hear a radio rip in order to judge better, but I think I love it. I love Tsunku's "Russian" songs.

[showraniy]

Nice. This song's got a nice flavor for a change.

[Noa]

I'm really liking this one, and I like the fact that everyone got a solo.

[Pucchi-Mo]

It's still a concert rip, I think, but whoever did this one had some fancy equipment.

(unless the actual song has faint wota cheering in it)



The instrumental is surprisingly clear. 44th preview

Morning Musume is making me go bankrupt, so now I have to buy this, the sushi song, and their album T.T

;_; tell me about it. I usually buy grad singles and now I have a freaking grad ALBUM right smack dab in the month where I splurge copiously on everyone I know.

[Gerald]

Damn, damn, damn. I don't like it on the first couple of hearings and I have never said that about an MM single before .



I don't get Russian too much, more like the bastard love-child of Bollywood, North Africa and Rachmaninov. Oh and I hate the pauses.



Maybe it will grow on me.

[Himemiya]

I hope the PV is good, because I LOVE the song! It's a very bouncy song <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

How many have you actually heard? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... unsure.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

They've had some unfortunate releases.

I'm only talking about ones that came out since I discovered MM, I started at Osaka Koi no Uta.



Obviously if the first thing I had heard was Namida ga Tomaranai Houkago the love affair would never have started <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.

Covers courtesy of SayuNii!





The outfits and the covers are kinda blah to me. It doesn't match the song at all. Hopefully they'll have another set of costumes to wear.

[Pucchi-Mo]

Those covers are too tiny to identify even the title,

but it looks like they're wearing shiny, tighter, less frilly, Mr.Moonlight PV outfits.

(the red & blue ones worn by the girl roles)



They should have done cute 60s style dresses like Twe'lv. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />

[showraniy]

I guess you can tell I'm a more recent MM fan compared to you guys 'cause I'm just happy to get awesomely fun covers with some color. D:

[Melon]

If those end up being 60s styled outfits with gogo boots (I can barely see...) then I am SOLD and full of GLEE!

[EmEl]

They wore these during the encore of their current concert. I guess I've been paying attention to another idol group too much, but what struck me most were the colors. They're all wearing their own image color except JunJun is wearing LinLin's shade of blue, LinLin is wearing Ai's yellow, and Ai is wearing nobody's red. I know their costumes don't normally incorporate their colors, it was just odd to see most of them having their color. This is what happens when you have too many blues (they're fixing that problem in December of course).



But yeah. Hips.





(Not even Tsunku can show us a good picture of them:



http://ameblo.jp/tsunku-blog/entry-10673743718.html

It's the last picture.)

[mrsross]

I'm thinking that maybe they're starting to switch colors around for the 9th gen.

[Shoujo Q]

Tsunku may not be able to show you a good picture, but I can! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />

Oh wow, like sixties flashbacks man.

[DarkRidley]

Cute, colourful, fun, etc., if a little uninspired. Boots are nice. In some ways, it's nice to see a lighter, softer look for Morning Musume, but I'll miss the current-gen's more "mature" image.

Have you checked the site lately, Em?

I'm glad to see idols slowly realise the colours they have been given. lol



The covers are hot (I love Lim A), but they nor the costumes really go with the song. Think the opening Rival Survival costumes might've been better.



ETA - Go to Tsunku's blog.

Hope to see something interesting.

MORE FUCKING PICTURES OF FOOD.



What is with the Japanese and their food? Son of a bitch.

[Shoujo Q]

Besides food, Tsunku's got some of the gamiest looking feet I've ever seen. He should do something about his toes man, eww.



As for the outfits, they are okay, I kinda wish they didn't bunch at the hips and instead just flowed down as one piece. May favorite are the Limited B and C covers. Not sure which I like better.



Considering the the 11th album is coming out after this, I don't know if I want to purchase this single, but I do like the C/W. Oh the woes of being a H!P fan.

[Pucchi-Mo]

Nevermind, MM got off easy.

Have you seen Berryz new outfits, clearly made out of leftover Halloween decorations...
