[1/23] Morning Musume's 52nd Single "Help me!!"

[Rm88]

If the singer sounds 100% -exactly- like the CD, and the voice seems less... disjointed from the rest of the track, I think it's pretty clear Sakura wasn't live. Just listen to Riho in that same performance, her voice doesn't blend with the track like Sakura's does.

[esm]

Half the group's mics probably weren't even on (at least through most of it).

--------------

Speaking of AAA, their coolness died quickly after Yukari left (lol apparently she's a gravure model now).

[Zunu]

Sakura's so tiny, lol. But gotta say that last high note by Riho in "Help me" did not bode well for her being one of the singing aces. She really struggled there.

I agree I enjoyed Love Machine a lot more than I've enjoyed it in years. And someone might be forgiven for thinking that the long-girled hair, er, long-haired girl in the corner was a slender reincarnation of Kaori.

^But I think Chokubo is better looking than Kaori

^ When's the last time you had an eye exam? If it was recent, you might want to beat the living crap out of your optometrist.

[Starra]

Idk, both of them are extremely pretty.

Haruna is a bit too skinny, but yeah.

[TotallyUncool]

It would be difficult to beat Kaori in the looks department, but Haruna's so cute and so sweet that I wouldn't want to compare her unfavorably to anybody -- so I'll just say that about as close to being a perfect Kaori Jr. as I could imagine.

LOL lets just say Kaori isn't my type Give me Honey anyday

[Starra]

Zunu loves Kaori, so he's just being defensive .

Kaori was gorgeous, especially in her early MM。days .

[AyuHikaru]

I consider calling her Kaori a major compliment, because Kaori was always a knock out. So when people say Haruna looks a lot like Kaori I get all happy
