[8/28] Morning Musume。54th single - Wagamama Kinomama Ai no Joke / Ai no Gundan [#1 single, 144k]

[Sohee]

No one is denying it being influenced by military or whatever.
But I seriously doubt they were going for a communist look or even had that in mind whatsoever. They're black and red. The first thing that pops up in my head is definitely not "OMG COMMUNISM!" and that's all I'm saying. Might be looking a bit too much into it. AND if we're going to look that much into it, I'm sure we could find just as many "bad" things about everything they do.

Riho doesn't dominate all the lines like she used too. I like that she can be the ace and still take a step back to let the other girls shine.

Lol yes because Riho decides things like that.

[Jessi]

*Cough* the dance looks like its going to be very complex to match the complexity of the song. *cough*

Its gonna be hard to do dance covers *cough* *cough*

Edit* Sohee you know I didn't mean it that way. I meant that you can tell she's still pushed as an ace, but the other girls are also very present. It feels like a group rather than Riho plus morning Musume. This is the first single without Tanaka and I'm just glad the better line distribution is still the trend. Whether its Tsunku or UF or whoever. Obviously Riho doesn't have any say in it. I mean she does fit the role and works hard to do so, but that's not what I was getting at

Speaking of Riho, I cannot get over how much I love the way her voice sounds in Wagamama no Joke. Her improvement + a song in her range make such a huge difference from how it sounded before.

In fact they all sound so good. I'm half expecting the studio version of it to disappoint me, honestly, because it's so up my alley the way it is live *laughs* Either way I'm excited for release

[otaku_blue]

The dance is epic. Some of the moves remind me of past singles but meh.

I hope the PV has some good camerawork going on cause I feel like a moving camera would be great for it.
Lol I like how the concert version of the outfit just glitters lolol

Tbh getting annoyed about having to wait for them to upload it on hellostation, only to re-upload it onto their own channel later....

I honestly can't wait! But if WKAJ is being shown on Mezamashi that means it's gonna be the lead then, like how 123 was the lead on it's AA side?

Spoiler: show

Soviet propaganda is iconic so it would be cool if they were inspired by it, it's one of my favourite styles. It's undeniable dynamic and has had a huge influence on graphic art regardless of what you think of politics behind it. Don't worry.

[Sohee]

Yes, Wagamama is definitely the lead A-side this time around.
