@otaku_blue: Y'know, I wish I had hair like Riho's. Unfortunately my hair is boring and I can't do much with it. It's also a pain in the ass if I try to grow it out, so I prefer to keep it short.

Most idols have pretty great hair, but Riho's is gorgeous. I also loved Maasa's long hair before she cut it off .

ngl, she's born with it so welp. just remember though, that you'll always look better than miichan at the time she shaved her head if its any consolation.


@BerryzGiraffe

nah, like they could care about netizen edits lololol. it's just a director's preference and editing.

I think, but am not sure if right, i know why the terrible aspect ratio:
If you notice, the captions are below the video, not ON the video! I think that the reason they did this, was because people like to have the video itself without captions on it! This is helpful for GIFing, pictures, etc. you see what i mean? c:
(Except the captions are KINDA slightly in the way sometimes. )

What do you think?

It's 2.39:1 aspect ratio, which may tell us it was shot on a different camera (like film camera). Also, it could've been done when editing (IF filmed on normal HD 16:9 ratio)

Either way, it's a preference of the director and gives it a distinctive look, I highly doubt it's done for the reasons you mention.

Good to see we're getting tv performances of each A side.

Those billboards are so awesome *~* and that giant one in Shibuya is in a great spot. Thousands of people will see it.

[otaku_blue]

Yay! What is Love on MJ
I hope they perform it in better outfits this time around.

1 TV Performance of Egao (Girls Live, Music Dragon(?)).
1 TV Performance of Kimi no Kawari (Heyx3)
3 TV Performances of What is Love (J-melo, Dokkiri, MJ).

I really hope they perform Kimi no Kawari on music station. I still cant believe MM was on Heyx3 after it was cancelled, I never thought it would happen.

Does anyone know if any of the singles come with bonuses like posters or cards still? Also are they doing the boxset thing this time, cause Im worried about sales so much

And they had the highest rating of the episode too!! So proud of our girls.

[otaku_blue]

^

what was the rating?

[Yattaruchan]

How is 2.39:1 terrible aspect ratio?

And it's most likely just matted in editing. They really get very little out of filming it with a potentially (relatively) expensive anamorphic lens.

And before the What is Love? MV came out, I wondered if they'd do WiL?'s concert MV in 2.35-2.40, just to make it stand out a little more. So was surprised they did it with the Olympic song, much like 123's MV.

^^ I saw it when I was browsing H!O earlier. I think it was 14.3% 14.4%.

Edit: Here we go. Credit to NightOfFire'14 from H!O:

"The HeyHeyHey special where Morning Musume appeared ratings:

http://blog.livedoor.jp/helloproject_vs ... 22894.html

The highest rating of the show was 14.4% at 20:32-20:33, the moment where Sayashi Riho did her solo dance

Morning Musume got the highest ratings out of the show (Arashi got 12.2%, if I'm not mistaken)

The top 3 ratings were (all with MM, except 19:38? but the rating is shared with 20:31 when they did appear):

14.4%（20:32、20:33）
14.2%（20:34）
13.9%（19:38、20:31）

It's all on that thread, feel free to correct me"
