[3/19] Juice=Juice 3rd single : Hadaka no Hadaka no Hadaka no KISS/Are Kore Shitai!

[Bossy Zunu]

I don't know if such a thing is allowed on these boards, but I wrote a few thoughts about the PV for "Hadakano x3 Kiss" at my blog http://thenumber244.wordpress.com/2014/ ... kano-kiss/
Hopefully this adds to the discussion

Mentioning your own site is not disallowed, even encouraged to a degree. But if your sole intention here is simply to advertise for your own blog and not to otherwise contribute as a member to the ongoing conversations on this forum, you will find yourself barred at some point. Also, personally I think it's a bit more well-mannered to introduce yourself, make a few insightful or interesting posts FIRST, and then shill for your blog. You seem to have gotten that a bit back to front?

Anyway, I don't know if it's a temporary glitch, but I can't access your blog in any case. Maybe you could paraphrase what you wrote?

Yes, I see it now. Thanks for the read. The tldr is that J=J is a good looking group and the song is catchy in its own way but primarily for people who like "Spanishy" music, so maybe they should've went with a more generically pop style. I'm not sure if I agree with that for the simple fact that Tsunku doesn't really write generic pop to begin with. Even his version of bland generic pop has a fairly distinctive Tsunku sound. So either way, the group has to bring the audience into Tsunku's playground and not vice-versa. Also, check the typos. Most importantly, you wrote "18" as "17" for Tomoko's age.

From my article: "Mind you, I am not asking for generic idol song." (typos and all)

What I think the group needed was something more accessible- something with wider appeal. I don't think this is the same thing as a generic idol song. And, I definitely did not call for "bland generic pop".
The problem with this single (as I see it) is a genre song like "Hadakano x3 Kiss" instantly turns off people who do not like the Spanish influences of the song. Juice=Juice may not get any hotter than they are now, so I think it best if Tsunku and H!P capitalize and grow the group's popularity. They have the rest of their careers to experiment.

Oh, and hello. What passes for an introduction, anyways?

OK, then I misunderstood you. I'd note that you gave a few examples of the type of song HHHK was, but didn't ...to my recollection... give any examples of the type of song you want it to be. So that left the matter up to the reader's imagination. And what I imagined was something more generic than HHHK, not less.

And, I definitely did not call for "bland generic pop".

"...I’m making an argument for blandness...." is where that was coming from. But anyway, noving on, what sort of song did you have in mind, something Buono-y? Something like one of the snappier C-ute songs?

Oh, and hello. What passes for an introduction, anyways?

You can put an intro in the intro thread if you want, or just stick around for a while...people will get to know you from your comments even if you don't specifically give your "three sizes".
