[02/15] DMM - Shining Butterfly (1st single)

[boinsie]

She's the one that isn't wearing a hideous dress, and she's standing along in the middle of what looks like a closed restaurant?

[Sohee]

She's in the pv as an actress.

[Zunu]

Yaguchi looked kinda really desperate though.

Really? I thought she looked better than she did her whole time as an actual Morning Musume. Koharu too, but no surprise there. And I'm not sure why I was surprised to see Miki but I was. Well, guess she's gotta work while she still can.

The only problem I see is that this sounds like a Takahashi-era song, but IMO to maximize nostalgia, they needed to comeback with a poppy, hook-driven song reminiscent of the Golden Age. Something that sounded more like Souda, We're Alive and less like Shouganai Yume Oibito. Maybe Tunky's thinking that with MM being mostly kids again, he's gonna give them the kiddy songs and graduate DMM to the emo Taka-songs. Ah, fawkit, I dunno what Toonx is thinking any more.

[boinsie]

Technically though, Zoonz, they're touting this as the "last DMM release".

[Zunu]

So, some minor lineup change and the remaining members call themselves Eternal Morning Musume or sth. "Technically" new group, right? Anyway, regardless of last or not, you don't want to release a mediocre song and go out with a whimper, you want your "last" song to be a memorable one.

[Starra]

Yuuko .

[Mirai]

Ooo cool, looks like there's some sort of a plot line

[Rm88]

This is surprisingly good. I'm not a huge Rika fan but she looks stunning in this. Also, Koharu, Mari and Kaori

[aggisu]

Is that Tsuji I see next to Rika? * 0 * or is it just Mari.

[Sohee]

Mari~
