[1/29] MM。'14 55th "Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa / Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai / What is LOVE?" (158k in 3 weeks)

[Pavlova]

I hate it. Tsunku, what the fuck were you thinking.

I like the dance break and the intro and that's it.

Thank god that I love What is love. Otherwise I'd be heavily disappointed.

[Solarblade]

I think I'm going to be the first one, but I really can't get into this song. I think it's a pet peeve of mine, but I Ioathe when they shove syllables into a measure...so like the verses start nice but then it's a total wreck...and they carry it over to the chorus and I'm just over it hah.

The PV though looks really clean though and surprisingly everyone does look good. Though I thought Haruna messed up at 2:13...but I think she was segueing into what after lmao.

I'm inclined to agree, especially because there's so much of it going on. The occasional line might have been fine, but this runs rampant non-uniformly, where you'll get run together lines with the random rhythmic line randomly thrown in. It's a shame as it is an otherwise great beat. The song itself will definitely take some growing.

The dance was alright, a bit lackluster in comparison to what they've done thus far. If this is what they were planning on doing, we really could've had a 12th gen lol c'mon now. Against the plain background though, whenever there are fudges in the choreo, it stands out. Like whenever the lines of the formation weren't as straight as they could be, or whenever someone was kicking a little too fast during the main chorus line. It's bound to get better as time goes on though. Looking forward to the other songs.

Okay, since this is JPlop I'm expecting a lot of incoming negative comments. And to counterbalance them:

I love this. I love it because it's so different than their normal stuff, yet it's so obviously one of their songs. It's such a Morning Musume。('14) song.

The MV works really well. The outfits are amazing. Everything is so simple, yet effective.

This is a solid song. It's good. I don't care what anyone else says, and if I end up being one of the only people who likes it, then that's perfectly fine.

Egao no kimi wa taiyou sa~

EDIT: Because it's a new page:

I totally agree with everything you said about the song and the MV. Its slightly different yet it still have that New Momusu feeling.

For me, this song is an instant like

[Rika-chan]

Egao no kimi is a nice song but I'm not fan
waiting for Kimi no Kawari

[Bkfanatic]

The mv is really really nice the song is nothing something I'll play but I'll enjoy it while watching the mv. I liked the riho shot where she's laying down I wish there were more shots like that with different girls doe oh ehm gee I'm so anti riho.

[Amped]

omg omg omg omg! :





i'm been listening since 4:30am. its so good.

[wotakubrandon]

The girls look good, the outfits are cute, the background/effects are cool and well done. The music is nice and friendly, very light. Good stuff.

The song is very One's Life to me though. The rapping parts in that song didn't always flow well and it's happening here with this kind of pseudo Tsunku-rap. It doesn't take away from the song though imo. All and all I'd say it's a win.

[Amped]

beautiful

In general, JPlop doesn't like uplifting songs much. Remember Aruiteru? Mikan? Seishun Collection? So many people hated those. This is a bit different than those, sure, but in comparison it's "lighter" than what they've been doing recently.

Yea... Singles that sold like crap

I personally find the song okay
I'll probably get used to it but it's not the type of song that will be even sparking more popularity for them
That's why I'm irked usually when Tsunku does this
