[12/4] Juice=Juice 2nd single - Ijiwaru Shinaide Dakishimete yo / Hajimete o Keikenchuu

[321BreakinOut]

Ijiwaru Shinaide Dakishimete yo is gonna be another "Romance no Tochuu" for me. Just can't get over it omg. Its so amazing.

And surprisingly i didn't think i would like Hajimete o Keikenchuu as much as a i do (it's really not my kind of song) but i keep singing it in my head!

For me Ijiwaru Shinaide Dakishimete is reaching the level of Watashi ga Iu Mae Dakishimenakya ne. It just has it all. >_< Energy, outfits, sound, colors.... All...

And yeah, the video is dark on purpose, so the black parts of the outfit could fuse with the background - it gives the mv the mystical and appealing air it has

[wotakubrandon]

Actually Riho really does overshadow her. She may be amazing in Morning Musume, but Riho has this star quality to here where you don't even notice Ayumi or much of anyone else to be honest. I'm not sure what it is about Riho. I think it has something to do with her expression. Riho just has this expression that says "yes I am the Ace of this group."

I mean yeah Riho gives excellent face and has stage presence falling out of her ears whenever she performs but I never really felt like she overshadows Ayumi whose roll in performances is also pretty prominent.

[Chiima]

Ha-ha-ha, everyone knows Ayumi actually has been chosen because of her height

I know that but overall, I do prefer her performance level compared to others

That said... I had to listen to the song without the PV to determine how I felt about it, and I like the song, but I don't like the Music Video itself. But, I don't expect to like everything from this group, so eh!

I do prefer Hajimete, but I like mainstream songs in general, and the PV is so much more eye catching for me. If a video is too dark, I lose interest quickly because I can't see anything, and my sight isn't the best anyway

[Rm88]

Ijiwaru is amazing. Both the song and PV. I haven't been paying a lot of attention lately, so it was super weird seeing Ayumi there But it's a nice surprise!

I'm not saying Ayumi isn't amazing and eye catching, just that to a new fan Riho may be the first to stand out before any of the other girls. Ayumi gets really close. She stands out more than most of the other girls don't get me wrong. But in the dance shot here Ayumi gives off Riho vibes. Its like here she is at the level of Riho in Brainstorming or Wagama kinomama Ai no Joke. I think without Riho Ayumi ends up being one of the first that you notice.

Oh and I forgot to say this but in the video as a whole I think Tomoko really stands out. I am becoming really fond of her voice. She still scares me a bit tho

[Starra]

Tomoko is perfect. Everyone will become a Tomoko oshi eventually. Everyone.

[AyuHikaru]

Tomoko is oshi status for me, definitely. Though my H!P Kami-oshi is Haruna FOREVER

[Starra]

She doesn't have to be your kamioshi -- so long as you acknowledge that she is, in fact, perfect in every way.

[Jessi]

I will love Tomoko before you could ever possibly get me to love Maasa
