Morning Musume. 13th album : ⑬ Colorful Character

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I'm betting 11th gen will end up bringing both Erina's dark purple and Aika's light purple back, so it won't be quite as bleen centric after that.

I'm completely in love with the LE cover. Makes me think of magical girls/something "Sailor Moon"-y.

<color> Idol Powa - Make Up!

I wish there was an anime of this.

Maybe Fukuhime will draw a couple of manga pages for it and the people who did Kaitou Reina will get inspired?

Now, if they did a live action Kamen Rider version of it (or Berryz Kamen if you will) then the transformation sequence would go something like:

Ring is held to the forehead. "Henshi!" Pose is struck.

(mechanical voice) <color> armor activate.

Of course, each girl would have to have their own version of Rider Kick as their hissatsu attack.

Kudou of course would use the side thrust kick that the KuraBara guy is now familiar with.
Erina would use the handspring ax kick.

The others would have to improvise.

Masaki looks like shit on the covers. What's with the grandma cheeks?

Huh totally didn't realize they were on a roof from the preview current MM are a very good looking bunch and it shows here.
I wish ayumi kept that nekomimi hairdo from OTT i'm kinda missing it atm lol and it helps to make her stand out more against riho since the only difference between the two now is just a parted bang

[aishiteruaibon]

^Yeah Ayumi rocked the nekomimi hair. I'm missing it as well. Also, looks like they've photoshopped out the awesome background for the roof top picture. I guess it would have been too distracting? Or too busy. Either way.

I love Be Alive. I'm sure the audition clips will make it stuck in my head even more because that's what happened with
