Maybe we get cool CD design and what not.

How would CD jacket design be affected ?
It's still Zetima ("a label handled by Epic Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment Japan") and the people at UFP who design those.

[DARC1993]

Idk. You never know xD

[Amped]

i like the outfits. they look sharp. no hats or bows this time.

[DARC1993]

They look like S/mileage's socks for Atarashii Watashi ni Nare!
Sakura looks very pretty.

[Denki]

I like it. Simple and kinda retro.

[Amped]

[Starra]

They all look amazing.

I ain't even mad about Ayumi being in the back row.

[aerosuffly]

Zebra < my first thought

I don't know it is kind of a bit plain, but plain might be good depending on the dance. And I want them to do arm wrestling in that outfit.

[Bano]

the ticket you get will be for one of the groups at random. even more random, is that you only have a 2-shot photo-op with an individual member.

Just so there's no confusion, you choose the group of girls you want to have a photo-op with, then you will be given a random 2-shot ticket with an individual member in the group you chosen.

[Shoujo Q]

Oh yay! Something easy and simple to draw. I love easy and simple outfits. (Is a lazy S.O.B)~>

I can't believe I missed the profile shot. Masaki looks lovely.

Outfits look horrible though, I can't imagine how this unflattering this would make Zukki look right now omg.
Its so plain wow. What budget? Eripon's fringe is bugging me too, and same with Sakura's comb over.

Better not be for Wagamama
These outfits are so ugly ughhhhh

Now that i think about it though, 123 and Brainstorming were the only outfits I've liked so far for the Colourful Era....
This needs to change.

Considering the late start in promoting and the not so pretty outfits, my Holmes deduction indicates, they aren't spending a whole lot of cash on this single. They are going to use the concerts and pre-arranged media surrounding the next Gen and whatever shows they'll be on next month(non H!P concerts) to push this single forward. This is a transition single and like any Musume group in the past that lost one of their main singers, I go in with no expectations that this is going to be any good (vocally). Because I'm a jaded H!P fan now.

What I think is going to happen. Lots of Riho, Sakura does her power cord, Ayumi, Masaki and Mizuki get their push and share the lines, Sayumi does her Robo voice. The rest of the girls do their best boogie woogie shake in the background and maybe get a line or two. My bet's on Haruka being the break out girl from the back lines.

What I want to happen? Sakura, Kanon, Masaki, Haruka and Eripon share the lines, Mizuki, Haruna and Sayumi do the robot and Ayumi and Riho just dance and look pretty.

But what I want never happens. :<
