Hell to the yes. I'm trying to downplay the excitement in my own mind because it's been years since H!P has been able to reach anyone outside of their core fanbase. But I can't. This single is just too perfect: the music, the choreography (that Riho/Ayumin combo "spellcaster" move gives me chills), the hair (Kudou FTW), the fucking costumes even (which let's face it, typically have over 50% chance of being a disaster), the (as Amped puts it) "amazing expression" at the end. This is the first time Riho's over-confidence in her own awesomeness really works for me. She nails every centimeter of that performance down flat.

This deserves to sell in the 100K level even if it were some random group I had never heard of, and even more with it being the most amazing idol group the world has ever known.

Watched the clip like 4-5 times back-to-back and I'm gonna go watch it again now.

Oh, good, this sounds much better. I'd like more songs like this. Sounds great.

Kanon looked a little ill right there. Actually I had totally forgotten about her during the performance. She's gonna be falling behind into Makoto-Aika-land if she doesn't pick herself up.

Haruna struggles with dancing (Which is why I'm just fine with her being in the back till she gets better, THEN I'll bitch )

Yeah. She's like Kaori in more ways than one. The important difference being she looks really super-happy being up there.

Really? While I was sad she was at the back I thought she did really well especially during the arm-around-the-head part of the dance. Also considering how steller she has been at variety (she is miles ahead of the others when it comes to being charming on camera during variety shows) I really don't think she is falling behind.

Im not too worried about Zukki, she knows how to get spotlight on tv.

Hmm, even the clips are labeled "Newborn/Reborn Morning Musume".
