[7/04] Morning Musume 50th: One・Two・Three/ The Matenrou Show

[Starra]

the song is sung by Reina and Riho, but Morning Musume is singing a lot of it in Unison which balances the song. that's so old school MM.

Furusato says hi.

[AyuHikaru]

Furusato will never cease to piss me off. Mostly because when Nacchi had her first CD there was a Furusato (Natsumi Abe Version) and I was like "Really? You tried that?"

[Starra]

To be fair, the version on her album had a slightly different arrangement.

Furusato is probably my second least favourite MM。single though.

[Sohee]

I'm not even pissed about the lack of solo lines. The unison parts will most likely be sung in groups of 3/4 or something and that will be enough to make me happy.

[Starra]

Neither am I. You'd think fans would be used to this by now. But nope.

[AyuHikaru]

You can be used to it and still hate it. That feeling is called Resignation

[wotakubrandon]

^lol
But yeah this is definitely a Tsunku song. Obviously I love it. Also Riho doesn't sound terrible in this.

yeah, that's really oldschool MM/OnGatas, but I like it
can't wait for PV

Ugh, sounds like another glorified b-side turned 2nd a-side.

The Reina/Riho Show sounds like an Ongaku Gatas album song - sorta like Seishun no Custard meets Shining Power.
Seriously, wtf is up with the line distribution on this single. If it's considered "old school MM" then at least cram the other members into the 2nd verse (that they don't even perform in TV performances). You'd think with TWO songs, you'd at least get someone other than Reina and Riho singing it. During the Ai/Reina era you could see why Ai got so many lines, but Riho and her voice on the other hand...

Whatever. At least One • Two • Three is an amazing song.

I like The Matenrou Show a lot. Reina and Riho sound good during the verses. I like the "ai no arashi..." lines (esp. Riho's).

Also love how there's a lot of singing in unison.
