After becoming Morning Musume。'14 their new single "Egao no Kimi wa Taiyousa / Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai / What is LOVE?" has been released on January 29th (yesterday).

I can't agree more with all he says. After watching it all carefully, I really get what he means and what he's trying to express. And it's something great. Tsooonkoo is such a genius bitch!

- So by the way, blue, you're not far from being wight too.

Did I get that right, the Riho x Ayumi waltz is meant to represent the inner conflict of people, that their biggest opponent is themselves?
Thats what I could make out from google translate haha BUT THAT WOULD BE SO DEEP IF TRUE

edit: fucked up, nvm.

- And yes. Yoshiko-sensei is the best:

^
- She didn't know this song would be used for the support song when she choreographed it.
- Because of the speed of the songs he got the image of a waterfall, so the beginning/intro of the dance is supposed to be a waterfall.
- During the "Kimi no kawari wa iya shinai" parts, since the members who sing increase as it goes on, they are moving as though being brought on by the wind, going for/heading for something.
- First part of the first verse is "a clock" the second part is "taiko." These are two tiring moves, so please try them out. :b
- The chorus she made easy to imitate for concerts so fan can be a part of it too.
- The circles they do in the chorus represent the red circle in Japan's flag and was added once she found out about it being for the Olympics.
- In the interlude, the waterfall comes back.
- The end of the interlude~the last chorus is a "rocket."
- This dance was easy to come up with.

It IS really awesome to experience these^ by yourself, whilst watching Kimi no Kawari



- And yes. I absolutely agree:

^
I wish we got full body shots of these outfits


Haruna's outfit!! And wow her confidence is really showing
