Morning Musume. 13th album : ⑬ Colorful Character

[wotakubrandon]

- Chikyuu ga naiteiru is Reina and Riho main, because the nuance and the way to sing this song is difficult.

Anyway. I'm surprised about the lack of album shuffles. Although I'm pretty happy about it because Tsunku has been fucking up and giving my favorites silly songs. I'm not quite over the trauma of Osaka Umainen and Guruguru JUMP yet.

Happy about the Sayu solo as well. As long as it's techno pop. Fantasy ga Hajimaru is one of my favorite songs and the robot voice works well for her.

Not sure about that 9th/10th song though. I would've preferred if Qki and Tenkigumi could've gotten new songs. Mainly because I like the names

[Pavlova]

After reading the song descriptions I am happier about this. Most of it should be good. Except like.. the 9th-10th gen song for which I am very afraid.

[Jessi]

Yeah I know it's just one song.... Its just that in my mind one was too much! We already have the Matenrou Show which is an Reina Riho lead.

But now after some rest I'm thinking maybe they will split the Album songs across the two tours (Fall and Spring) and make some shuffles using old MoMusu or H!P songs. They even might arrange in by colors like we were hoping for the album.

Also it's almost a given that in the Spring tour they will do this:
Rokkies: Watashi no Jidai
Kyukkies: Asaretai no ni
Jyukkies: Seishun Domannaka
Jyuikkies? (11th gen): Suki na Senpai

Lol

So I'll wait for the fall tour setting to complain again.

Also now that I think about it they could do something similar to fantasy ga hajimaru where different people lead. What's up is kinda a Sayu Mizuki lead... (Team Pink!) I'll stay hopeful. Maybe we will hear more indepth explanation from Tsunku soon. I do love What's Up and I like that the album has technopop and some rock so maybe this will still be a super awesome album.

Is there any hope for a TMS PV on the Limited Edition of this album? (A)

[Sohee]

I'd love that but as far as I know it hasn't been announced yet.

-Lalala no Bibibi is technopop.
-Dokkaan Capriccio is a rock/eurobeat/dance music song that was made for concerts.
-Zero Kara Hajimaru Seishun is a song about giving thanks.
-Chikyuu ga Naiteiru is a "serious rock number".
-Namida Itteki is in minor.
-Waratte! YOU is a disco number.

- The theme for this album is "The earth's yell".
- The concept is "An album where you can see the face of the all 10 members of Morning Musume".
- The lyrics for Lalala no Bibibi is probably about Sayumi's current worries. (And possibly inspired a bit by Sayu's talk back when she was 15 and talked about a prince coming to her home on the back of a white horse etc.)
- Chikyuu ga naiteiru is Reina and Riho main, because the nuance and the way to sing this song is difficult.
- Namida Itteki sounds like a simple song at first listen, but is really difficult and he noticed how Reina has improved a lot after she recorded this.

Might translate more later. xD

GREAT!!
Lalala no Bibibi? i curious about that one. what kind of song
i think Masaki, Eripon, Mizupon, and Kuduu will sing that song...

[iceymoon]

^ it's a Sayu solo (it says on the track list).

[boinsie]

I love how "Sayu solo" has become a genre of song.

[iceymoon]

LOL. i meant that in answer to "i think Masaki, Eripon, Mizupon, and Kuduu will sing that song..." but i like your interpretation better.
