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

[Starra]

And it's annoying every single time.

Let people complain. Good god, people get way too worked up about someone having a different opinion.

I thought we've moved on from that and are just having a discussion on what makes a pv good

From H!O, credit SNIPER:

Someone tweeted this article to Tsunku, my Japanese isn't great so it's a rough translation. (I don't know much about HKT so I'll just do the MM bits.)

This year's idols who will make a break, HKT48 and Morning Musume

On a radio programme [someone] called Nakazawa Takeshi mentioned that he thinks HKT48 and Morning Musume will make a break (as in do well) this year. He is someone who is known to be good at predicting such htings about idols.
Nakazawa T-san's reasons for having such expectations are quite interesting...

Talking about Morning Musume's Love Machine and how it was a hit in the golden era as well as talking about how they don't sell as much as that now, but even so they still have fans who have followed them for many years and are still quite popular. But Takeshi-san says that MM aren't popular right now but if he says that it's like saying that right now entertainers aren't popular [someone please correct this as it does sound a bit wrong]

The writer of this article then mentions of Help Me!! 's release date and of how and when the dance shot was uploaded on youtube. He talks about how straight forward the lyrics are and how powerful the dance is so be sure to watch out for that. He also mentions a comment [which I also saw the other day that made me happy] of someone saying "I thought Morning Musume were over, but they've just begun." and other comments such as "Their performance of dancing as a group is at an amazing level", are just a few of the comments that they are recieving, they are once again getting attention which is good.

AKB are already in the lead of the idol boom that's been firing up lately, another popular group would be Momoiro Clover, but this year perhaps the ranking will be taken from HKT and MM.

Here's the full article, if anyone can correct any mistakes and provide a stronger translation, then please do so.

Are you guys kidding? The PV looks amazing. None of the sparkly crap from One Two Three and no cheap fire scenes like in Wakuteka. This pv isnt any cheaper than every other PV in H!P. The green screen looks amazing. Its eye catching, dynamic and clean cut. I swear you guys are never happy.

Some people aren't happy unless they're complaining.

Seriously. There's no pleasing you guys , there's always some dumb shit to say. Just be happy that management for your favorite groups are putting out anything at all !

^Can't tell if serious or sarcasm

Serious. Yes I understand that people are entitled to their own opinion , I get it. But in my country children are being mass murdered in elementary schools , and I find that people (our youth especially) just find themselves bitching about the stupidest shit ever when so much are going on around them; and like Celedam stated it seems like they're only happy if they're complaining and it just pisses me off. Complaining is my biggest pet peeve ever! Try being a sex slave in Africa with an array of diseases WHILE starving, then come to me! But until then keep your dumb unessisary crap to yourself and shut the hell up!

/rant over

......back on topic though, I honestly hope this does better than 123 with its mega promotional an all! I want Momusu to at least rise to Momoclo's level.

[Jessi]

Let people complain and let people complain about people complaining. Seriously there is a line between good criticism and being miserable all the time. It seems that with the recent boom in sales in 2012 people have been complaining even more. Lets be happy for all the positives that the last year has brought. The singles have been great, and yet people are never happy. Why not say "I don't like the CGI" instead "of why the fuck does tsunk keep destroying H!P???"

"Why does Tsunku keep destroying H!P?"
