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

[LiamMusume]

It seems someone has leaked this single early, I hope this wont affect any sales of people who were on the fence about buying the single.
At the same time all they are really leaking is the instrumentals.. which are pretty badass

It's hard to know exactly why she's crying because of the way it's edited, but roughly speaking, she was trying to play the game seriously, but the game itself was intentionally broken. They're supposedly playing musical chairs, but since the number of seats matches the number of players, the game can't work. So, she cut to the heart of the matter and was trying to pull a chair out (it's cut here, but I imagine that a director kind of yelled at her, because even though she thought she was fixing the game, she was actually unmaking the set.) Later, most of the players are eliminated from the game, presumably by director fiat. So Kudo was presumably upset at being eliminated from a game without having lost. So the staff is chuckling or whatever at her being upset at losing a game that is unwinnable, so she gets noticeably upset at being (maybe)yelled at and then (actually) laughed at just for trying to do what she's told.
(They say play musical chairs, and then laugh at her for trying to play musical chairs.)

The point they were trying to make in the segment was "If you win a game with horrible rules, you're not actually happy about it." But it more proved the inverse "If you lose a game with horrible rules, you're still actually upset about it"

Kudo: i dont get this game, seriously what is this game, i really dont understand this, i came here to work seriously not for this. oi why are you guys laughing?...

Anyways bottom line is Kuduu takes her job as a morning musume member seriously and wasnt aware what the point of the game was.

Oh man. Erina's random comment (and that it got attention) in the beginning was awesome. So. Bad. But great for laughs. 8D

Awww Kudou. I can totally relate to that kind of frustration though. Things not making sense and not getting an explanation for it lol.

Erina was the best though, so suited for variety this girl. Getting the first AND last comment on the show. <3

Like the last single, I bought the box set! Does that count for 1 copy or 7 or whatever?

I'm also wondering if the boxset comes with the pictures... who knows!

[Sohee]

The instrumental to Kimikawari is... flawless. Idek.
