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

[danzarely]

Riho, as much as I'd rather you not be center, you are one FIERCE mofo. She's slappin bitches like they owe her pimp money.

The juxtaposition of Riho's slaps with Mizuki's is pretty funny. Fukuchan couldn't hurt a fly with those slaps xD

Also - again, as much as I'm anti-Riho and Eripon .... Eripon knows how to work a fuckin camera like nobody's business. She's catching my eye with her glances into the camera in the back of 8 other girls...like...wtf

[Sohee]

After watching these about 100 million times I honestly believe that Sakura is the second coming of Aichan. Jesus

While in terms of talent, I agree, I'd rather say Reina actually. Coming in with pure talent and getting pushed. Now Sakura gets more pushing than Reina did but still.
Imo, Goto - Riho, Ai - Masaki (Slowly but steady pushing), Reina - Sakura. Waiting for the Miki one tbh.
Just in terms of how they're pushed and promoted that is... not in terms of looks/singing/whatever.
Give us a Nacchi and a Miki and we'll definitely have a killer lineup. xD

I want Kanon's vocals to improve and I can def see her as the second coming of Gaki

[Starra]

Sakura >>>>>>> Ai. Let's be real here.

[otaku_blue]

finally got around to watching this in its entirety....

UM HOLY SHIT WAGAMAMA IS AWESOME LIKE WOW and the instrumental. You really need good earphones to appreciate it though.

i love sakura being all happy at the hey hey part, but wow her close-ups in front of the red curtain are awkward because her hair is awkward.

The Wagamama PV is what I wanted for the song, and I am happy. I love when they when they sing the chant at the end omg.

Ai no Joke is a bit boring to me now since I've replayed it so many times, but i love listening to the instrumental on Hello Station.

Ugh Wagamama wins, that dance opening is just so beautifully amazing. This needs more screen time on TV with a heap load of TV performances please and kouhaku.

I guess Miki comes in the 12ki? Murota Mizuki maybe??

I'm terms of purely similarities in voice, I'll always compare Sakura to Ai purely on her versatility though she's a proper chameleon...but those expressions are getting pretty Ai-like too now.

[Sohee]

Oh I totally agree. They have similar depth to their voices that's just... amazing. Comparing where Ai was after 10 years to where Sakura probably will be in 10 years, I'd dare say Sakura just might outshine her though. o_o

[AyuHikaru]

Yeah I'm not talking about push, just purely look, expression, singing, and charisma (Which came out of no where). She absolutely gives off an Aichan vibe.

I really feel like I'm watching Ai from 2003 and getting all excited about her back then when I watch Sakura
There's this one part in Ai no Gundan that I'm talking about specifically... let's see when she's doing the last big line there and she kind looks away from the camera, then looks back with a knowing smile and a sparkle in her eye, I was like "Whoo Charisma!"

Bah I just gifed it:

This part.

[Nichiyobi]

^
Yeah, I've thought the same thing too!

There was also a part at the Michishige Eleven Soul Tour ... I'm not sure if Brainstorming or Help me ... there she gave off an Aichan vibe too at her solo line.

[AyuHikaru]
