[4/15] Morning Musume。'15 58th single "Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru / Yuugure wa Ameagari / Ima Koko Kara"

[Kravius Pila]

For me Yuugure is not a really Platinium Era Song. Yes it is a melancolic song, but Yuugure is more calm, more light, more fragile as TokiSora.
It is becoming as a... Crystal Era.

[Sohee]

Maachan "playing the piano" for the Yuugure dance has made my night. I definitely like this song the most. I think it's currently Yuugare > Seishun > Ima Koko Kara, which none of them very far apart in difference.

You and me both.

Maachan does this song for me. ;~;

s/o to Haruna for really working her expressions and dancing in that performance.
She's come a long way from that awkward girl she used to be, she's really turning into a fine young woman. So proud. ; o ;

I think Yuugure is my favorite song of the bunch. I THINK.

Overall, it does seem reminiscent of the Platinum Era and for that I'm really grateful. This song is so right in so many ways.

As for the performance, I'm loving Mizuki center. It just feels so right. Also, the camera loved Duu, Harunan had great expression, and Riho looked great.

Nitpicking, I forgot Miki existed until the very end when the camera finally cut to her. For whatever reason Ogata and Akane got a lot of side screen time so I saw them more but I don't really recall seeing Miki anywhere. And of course Maria stood out because she's already gorgeous as all hell.

The one part of the song I didn't particularly like and I hope isn't as noticeable in the studio version is the final chorus where Ayumin gets her emphasized line that gets sung really strongly/sharply. Those types of line feel great in singers with great voices/technique (Airi, Miyabi, nowadays probably Riho and Mizuki) but for Ayumin it emphasized for me the screechy one dimensional/yelling aspect of her voice (similar to how sometimes Maimi's voice gets papery). Yes it's nitpicky and I realized it's a small push that Ayumi got but I honestly feel like even if it wasn't one of the front girls who got the line it would've sounded much better with Duu or even Kanon getting the emphasis.

I'm just not feeling Yuugure very much. its not current Morning Musume '15's style at all. They already have Toki Sora, i really don't want to hear another type of this song. at the MM concert, they performed Yuugure and Tokisora back to back. Zzzzzzzz. maybe the MV will keep me awake and change my mind.

I like to see cool, dancing current musume. Not sappy and emotional singing Musume.

[aggisu]

I for one love this song and think tokisora is one of their best recent songs.

[AyuHikaru]

Tokisora is one of my favorite MM songs of all time, let alone of the current Era.

...and it took me a while to realize "SYO" = "Shouganai Yume Oibito" xD

I thought I was the only one lol and then I realized I'm probably the only one who prefers Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai to SYO.
Anyways, I'm so happy that the gave us a little bit of everything with this single. I was becoming tired of EDM (I still love it though) so a Platinum-esque song was perfect.
