The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[Shoujo Q]

Morning has just had a string of bad luck in the middle of a pandemic which in a sense is good luck in a way. First it was Homa with her hearing then Masaki with her issues and now Sakura with her voice. Hopefully this Sakura issue is a bookend and stuff will start working itself out and they can get back on track.

Tbh I'm not that fussed about a lack of new material? We got 2 great albums this year, anyway. I don't mind waiting for releases if it means the quality is good.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I would like more releases (eventually a return to the previous pattern of 2 singles a year + sometimes an album), but I get that things are weird and probably take more planning across the board right now so I'm just trying to be patient.

Morning Musume next single needs to have quadruple A-sides and written to be the best because its the 70th and the timing has be right for it. Their anniversary is coming up.

ANGERME's nex single needs to be written well for Kasahara's graduation.

[Tobo_Junny135]

I was thinking will they be able to fit in one more single for Kassa, or maybe like the recent others they might give her, her own solo single/cover of a single.

A quadruple single would be a lot. I’m happy for a triple it has to be big. Their 25th anniversary might be like their 20th and have some OGs involved… Aibon might return now since everything seems okay.

Today on the Fuji TV music show "Love Music", a 34 year old comedian named Noda Crystal 野田クリスタル talked with MC Moritaka Chisato about his "Youth playlist".

His playlist includes Judy and Mary, Minimoni's Telephone no Rinrinrin, and Morning Musume's The Peace

I’m not sure if it had been pointed out or not but something seemed really different to the new unit’s version of “Mistake”
I must’ve heard this song over 100 times so I had a feeling that something seemed different,

Turns out apart from the solo line distribution change I discovered they took out the Guitar riff that’s played after the bridge.



Skip to 2:38 for the excerpt I’m referring to

Not sure why they done that but personally I thought they should’ve kept it because it’s adds a bit more diversity to the repetitive melody.

The only thing I don't like about H!P doing the "Kachou Fuugetsu" tour teams a 2nd time, is that members will be separate from other members in their main groups for a while. And it is the same teams with the same team members again. They should have shuffled them a little.

If you didn't have enough to worry about already, here's something new for you to worry about: apparently Mizuki Fukumura is popular amongst the creators of deepfakes…



When there are hundreds of hours of video and thousands of photos of you, because you've been a national idol for the last ten years, that's a LOT of raw data that can be used to build a deepfake model of you.
