I was just wondering when their new single will come out, like easily less than 30 minutes ago.

Not sure if I like the idea of releasing it under a slightly different name though. Casual fans might think it's just some special project/subgroup-type thing.

[otaku_blue]

management needs to work so hard to promote this otherwise this could really shit all over their recent momentum amongst casual fans.

supposedly, this is good thing though because remember how someone said that thing about Kouhaku and the Yaguchi scandal? So its not like "This girl from Morning Musume has been sleeping around", it'll kinda devoid such attention towards the newer girls. So in that sense its a good thing, and probably a possible influence.

[Sohee]

YAY SINGLE


What the fuck name change.

What the. I don't even.
It IS very smart and all and considering the times and stuff, it might actually be really smart. Good PR techniques and yay media and... all.
but.



What the fuck.

But hey.
YAY SINGLE.

[otaku_blue]

My feelings are so mixed.

Im like Sohee right now. Im just like Yay NEW SINGLE, but what name change woah @___@

[Mizu_D3]

From the bottom of my heart, I have to thank you very much for always supporting Morning Musume。 and Hello! Project.



Without delay, I have an information concerning Morning Musume。.



There will be a modification concerning the group's name Morning Musume。.

From the 1st of January 2014, the name of the group Morning Musume。 will be "Morning Musume。'14" (モーニング娘。’14 in Japanese). The way of reading the group's name is "Morning Musume One Four".

On 2014, Morning Musume。 kept this group's name for 17 years. From now on, to leave no doubt like "About when has this single song "XXX" been released!?" or "During which period did the member "XXX" take part of Morning Musume。?", the year will be displayed and the group can continue its activity after this for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years.

Therefore, the 1st January 2015, the group's name will become "Morning Musume。’15" (Morning Musume。 One Five).



Well, it might become confusing and you might give up lol, but at any rate, from the New Year's Day, please support those girls who will become "Morning Musume。’14"!



The 55th single of Morning Musume。 '14 will be released on 29th January 2014. From now on, a new feeling will start!

Well, that's interesting. All the release information is on the iTunes downloads, and on the CDs. This is pretty unnecessary. I'm certainly not going to bother calling them anything other than what they've always been.

[DARC1993]

It's the rebranding EVERYONE was hoping for.
I like it.

[wotakubrandon]

Seems silly to me unless there are new members coming and going every year. Wasn't this Super Junior's original plan? Remember Super Junior '05?

[Thetan]

Consequently, they should have called it their first single.
