Brainstorming + Kimi Sae Ireba nani mo Iranai - Morning Musume's Swan Song to Reina

[momoirosaya]

For A-side I chose KimiSae

For B I chose Onaji Seifuku

[Pucchi-Mo]

Whatever happened with the BBS radio? That was always a good way to catch up to c/ws and random tracks.



I really like this single as a whole, I just found Itsumo to Onaji to stick out in the worst way possible. I don't hate it, it's just in the wrong company, despite not really being released physically with the other b-sides. It's kind of too sweet, but I really like the instrumental break. Also, this is the type of track that would definitely feature Aika. I would probably be pretty happy with a mini album that featured these, it's a solid bunch for me.



Crazy about the synths used in A B C D E, I want a PV for this song. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' /> Can this be like Matenrou Show where they give it to past members later? It's probably my favorite of this release. Heck, 2nd favorite of any song in this era, it's after [AISARETAINONI...] It is a bit heavy though, so many elements going on at full intensity during that chorus, and then that KISS line that just comes out of nowhere. I was surprised by that falsetto in the wo-oh part toward the end.



Tokimeku makes me miss Gyaruru. Oh goofy Tsunku voice returns. Not that it ever really leaves... I like how they sing so many lines without a break.



Reina kind of uses a Sonim-like tone in her solo, and I REALLY appreciate that. Why did it take HER VERY LAST SONG with Morning Musume to get this out of her?



The instrumental track of Bresto makes the "ONE TWO THREE" recycled moment super apparent. I can appreciate both singles a lot more through the instrumental, especially the hearing the part in Kimi Sae which was covered by the robo voices.

Whatever used to be the radio broke or something, I used to use it too and it stopped loading it. It got replaced with what's there now. I miss the old radio though <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />



I picked Kimi sae Ireba mo Iranai for A-side

Tokimeku Tokimeki for B-side

According to Oricon, the weekly sales are actually around 94K, which would be slightly more than Help Me!! (still waiting for the official number).



So overall, this is a big win for the group. First back-to-back #1s since the Golden Era.



They're doing a fan appreciation event on 4/25 in Shibuya to celebrate.

[Shoujo Q]

Still at #1 today with 2,937.

[zlilzlilzlil]

Oricon released the weekly list, and Morning Musume sold 94,037 copies which is alittle bit better than help me...

Today they ranked at 14.

Even though it's Hello Station, I think it's more relevant to this thread because it's almost all related to this single until the last three minutes or so.



Episode 12: April 17th event.



They do Kimi Sae, One Two Three, Help Me, then there's some back...stage? stuff, and then Brainstorming. Then Captain, Maimi, and Dawa talk. I think they're talking about Reina.

[momoirosaya]

^They are congratulating MM for getting #1 on the weekly oricon chart, and talking about Reina's graduation.

There sounds like there is quite a few females in the crowd. Kanon has lost some weight since this single has been revealed too, and Riho walks like a man sometimes <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> Sakura looks and sounds like she's been there way longer than she has been. I'm excited to see how much they push her after Reina leaves. Also at 6:17, she lost her hair piece.

Riho lost her hairpiece at some point also.

In the end, I like Kimi sae more than breasto.

[Haru]

I love the instrumental version of "Kimi Sae" but with the vocals it sounds so horribly disjointed. So I voted for Bureasto...but "two thousand people on the dancefloor," man.

Yup. For me, it's not much of a contest, either.
