[7/04] Morning Musume 50th: One・Two・Three/ The Matenrou Show

[wotakubrandon]

Yeah Risa would've rocked the shit out of this.

[Daisuki Daiiyo]

I personally see a direct correlation between how awesome this is, and the lack of 5th gen in Momusu.

With Risa out of the way, the new girls have room to shine. She would've just been hogging lines, like she did in Renai Huntaa. Taking the A, Shi and Daisuki's away from Zukki or something.

[Mirai]

Gah, I'm at a convention this weekend and can't listen to the new song yet and it's killing me But I'm really looking forward to it based on everyone's comments!!

[UreChiissa]

The formation is somewhat clearer for me
Vocals: Reina/Riho/Sayu
Center: Ayumi/Sayu/Erina
Dancers: Riho/Ayumi/Mizuki
Visual: Mizuki/Masaki since they get to be more centered than the others

I actually like how everything is distributed in the song and Mizuki's dancing is, like someone mentionned, really great (I also started noticing in Only You during the music break)

[AyuHikaru]

You know, I remember a long time ago discussing with this forum crew about Sayumi leadership in the future. We all talked about how weird it was gonna be but the response was generally positive....

Except me. I believe my response was "Hell no."

I'd just like to apologize for that now.

^ you are forgiven.

as for Zukki's weight, i thought everyone noticed and we were just being kind enough not to talk about it? i remember reading something about her being asked to diet (a little messed up for a 13 y/o if you ask me, but then again this is a job and maybe they'd rather be preventative than have a Yossie/Mako repeat), but i never looked up the source so i can't confirm.

[AyuHikaru]

Oh man, now I'm totally worried she's gonna go the route of Makoto. Good singer, funny girl.... useless to the group. ZUKKI NOOOO

[UreChiissa]

Zukki has an amazing personality and she just needs a little push in a year or two like Chisa and Mai recently...
I'm sure she herself will be bothered about her weight later on and will take control over her body to slim down a little.. she's just a kid now

[AyuHikaru]

Oh, I don't think she needs to diet or anything. She's only 13, not only is that psychological damaging, if she just goes on a crash diet so young it could actually screw her metabolism for life. It was just an observation... they just need to not put her anywhere near Haruna for a bit

[MrMoondoggie]

Nobody ever said the idol life is fair. An idol has a certain image to portray and nobody watches idols because they want to watch fat girls or average looking girls.

She won't be denied food or anything they'll just keep her eating things that won't make her put on weight. I've seen people bring up the puberty thing and while it's true puberty commonly makes girls a bit chubby it would not make her double in size over a year or so since she joined so i think something else is going wrong there and they need to address it. She's at a point where fans have noticed and they are commenting on it so it's kind of out of control.

Somehow i can see her becoming Makoto just getting by on being funny. She started out gaining fans but i wonder how many will stick with her if she keeps up being tubby?
