I am more than intrigued by Shinjiru Shika... but also nervous AF.
It's like when Beyonds did the Kinoko / Takenoko song and I thought it was awesome - but then switches into that major and happy melody once they unite into one "we all love it!" faction... As a play-type of song, it makes sense but as an album song tbh I wish it stayed in the dark-themed part lol.

...So I'm cautiously optimistic for that song.

So excited for the album as a whole!!!! I loved '15 the message soooooooooo let's go!

[Shoujo Q]

I hope the experiment with a new sound on this album. It’s like, the best way to test the waters. It’s obvious in the album that Morning Musume have a select core that work on their sound and it will probably not change drastically. So if they are going to stick around, have no fun and draw outside the lines!

From Morning Musume. '21's Premier Seat Premium live today

The first performance of their new album song "Renai Destiny ~Honne wo Ronjitai~"



https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV17v411h7qw

WOW! Damn! I freaking love the energy of this song. I can't wait to see this performed in a concert with fans.

[Tobo_Junny135]

I love how the lines generational. 15th Gen, 13th + 14th Gen, 12th Gen, 10th + 11th Gen and 9th Gen.
I honestly wonder if it’s perhaps a hint that Mei and Miki will definitely be a front liner after 9th —> 11th Gen eventually graduate.


Also the whole song sounds like an Anime Opening or is it just me?

Ayumi's thoughts on the "Renai Destiny ~Honne wo Ronjitai~" performance

There was so much to see in the song "Renai Destiny"

- 1st time performance.
- The parts for each generation
- Maa-chan's singing a line about "Kekkon" (Marriage)
- Oda's line "Tomaranai" (Non-Stop)
- The damn best song.
- Choreography by Kyun (きゅん)
- Please enjoy the album!

You said it, my guy! It's not that I haven't enjoyed MM's extremely extremely lengthy foray into EDM, but dang is it good to have them go back to their roots with a more traditional song.

Also the whole song sounds like an Anime Opening or is it just me?

Nope, I totally agree. It's got a similar energy to Koko ni Iruzee, which was also an Anison sounding bop.

[Moh]

Yeah, this song has such great energy. I could definitely see this being a hype song once concerts get back to normal.

(Also can we please get more singles in this vein?)
