[9/25] Morning Musume。album - The Best! ~Updated Morning Musume。~

[Sohee]

If Cute's "Album+concert" does well, I could definitely see it become a thing in H!P. I hope it does well. *_*
Though that definitely is better to start with when they do a regular album --- which won't happen until we get 12ki. And maybe even another DVD version with 12ki footage... but I guess they might put that on their first single.

Maybe next album could be out in March/April, which doesn't sound that impossible, and by that time we'll have 12ki and that is about when the DVD/Blu-ray for the fall concert would go on sale anyway. :0

I love that C-ute had their Shinseinaru, since we pretty much had the same lead singers in the group but ugh, the last thing I want is to hear Riho basically ruin all the classic, beloved Morning Musume songs that were released when we actually had people who could sing.

I'm all for Sakura getting lines, but we all know Riho's gonna get a crapload. Current MM's vocals do not even come close to Ai, Miki, Maki or even Reina. The arrangements might be considered "upgrades" but the vocals are certainly going to be a downgrade.

[Obsidian]

In the concerts Riho gets loads of these lines anyway by rearranging them hopefully they can re-jig some tracks with lines that Riho currently has but Sakura is more suited to ie Riho got lots of Ai lines but is probably more suited to Reina's lines whilst Sakura is far better suited to Ai's lines. Plus hopefully now they seem set on Masaki, Ayumi and Mizuki taking over a lot more of the load, I can see that whole distribution business getting a bit better. But the other thing is whilst there may be a downgrade in vocal standards (from a very very high peak for Idol groups) the dancing is at the highest standard so I'm hoping the dance formations also get a remix which has the potential of being really awesome with this group.

Riho sucked SO HARD on her Do it Now performance for her birthday so I'm really scared.....

[Sohee]

As much as I agree that Sakura would rock Ai's lines, Riho would never pull of Reina's. Riho barely pulls off Ai's... and Reina's are even higher. Riho is improving a lot though and especially in recording she sounds just fine these days. But she hardly sings 60% of everything anyway. In Wagamama she has about as many lines as Mizuki, no? I'm not worried at all.
As long as they don't put her as the lead in Memory Seishun no Hikari it'll be fine and I doubt that's gonna happen anyway. The classics (Love Machine, RR21 etc) don't even have a real lead either.

[Sohee]

If it's true. I don't know. Just 13 tracks... but yeah. I like it. Are we seeing Riho and Sakura in Manpower? ._. Riho... better take Yossie's parts if so.
Smart not not put Wagamama on there though, good job.

Meh.


The only good thing if that is the tracklist is if 2 of the 15 songs CDJapan mentions are original >.>

[Sohee]

Ah yeah, there we go.
Neowing says "新録曲を含む15曲を収録。"
"Including new songs, there will be 15 tracks."

Yay.

[DARC1993]

Oh. Ok YAY!
:3

Thank you Sohee


EDIT

ill cry if the two "new " songs are Wagamama Kinomama Ai no Joke and Ai no Gundan.

Since they thechnically are new and unreleased as of now

[Sohee]

It says newly recorded so I doubt that's the case.
