[10/10] Morning Musume : Wakuteka Take a chance

[iceymoon]

LOVE IT. i don't care if they have to post-pone the release of the PV, or even the single. especially considering 11th gen is coming soon so the line-up will change again for future performances, i think it would have been sad not to have all 10 girls in the dance shot. and if they're healthy and recovering well enough to see it as being a safe option, then why not? :3

[Jessi]

Now that I think about it... for the generation songs I hope they flip it and have Rokkies and Tenkigumi do a mature song while Qkis do a genki song.

[Kita St Cyr]

OK, voice of reason time.

1) (kind of O.T.) - If Aika were still in the group it would be SO different. MM is SO dance-centric right now. Aika couldn't physically handle it.
2) Releasing a PV after the single release means fewer singles sold. Promo events are great and definitely help, but fans relate first and foremost to the PV.

[iceymoon]

it's possible to wait until the end of the month to film the dance and still have the PV out before the single releases, especially if they film/edit the rest of the PV on schedule. it's also possible they'll push back the entire release, though chances of that go down with every day they don't announce a new release date.

^re :2
Hopefully it won't come down to that. It'll probably be later than usual but there's no detailed confirmation that we won't get the pv until after the release date. Personally, i'd rather they put the girls health first and maybe a close up version or something that doesn't risk further injuries for the impatient fans

Btw I'm not sure where to put this but there's a recent article translated by kurikaesu_haru@h!o

The Forward Generation of Musumes' Fated Matchmaking

Sayashi and Ishida

When talking about the current Morning Musume, what absolutely cannot be left out is the high level of their dance skill. Among them, Sayashi Riho and Ishida Ayumi, known even in the idol world as distinguished powerful figures, are rivals. As might be expected from her own acknowledgment that she hates to lose, Ishida's crackling talk battle was preconceived......

Ishida: Such a thing as a dance showdown with Sayashi-san is awe-inspiring, you know! (laughs). Sure, I regarded her as a rival at first, but now I truly respect her and she motivates me. The great thing about Sayashi-san's dancing is that she changes her moves to match the music. Her moves are fluid, but also powerful. She uses different muscles. For example, someone trained in hip hop has a tendency to do stiff moves no matter what. There aren't very many people who can do both [fluid and stiff moves].

Sayashi: Uwaa...When I'm complimented this much by a member of my own group, I feel somewhat uneasy (laughs).

Ishida: Plus, when it comes to the choreography that has been set, Sayashi-san ad-libs and adds her own touch.

Sayashi: Conversely, Daishi is faithful down to the details. She's like a machine that's been programmed perfectly all the way to her fingertips (laughs). Her moves don't rely on feeling. I think that because there's no irregularity in her dancing, she doesn't get tired, and she's able to keep dancing for a long period of time.

Ishida: Both Sayashi-san and I had dance experience before entering Morning Musume, but because we trained in different places, our idiosyncrasies are different no matter what.

Sayashi: When I think about it now, a part of me concentrated too much on just dance technique when I was in Hiroshima. But in reality, singing, dancing, facial expression, lyrics--everything must be linked together. I've been working very hard to fix that [about myself] ever since I joined Morning Musume.

Ishida: The people who trained as Eggs, such as Fukumura-san and Kuduu, also have a peculiarity. In general, their moves are dynamic. Their will to appear showy is very strong. Now, groups which are amazing at dancing, such as Momoclo-san and K-POP groups, are increasing, but maybe in a good way, the 10 members' personalities are differentiated in Morning Musume's dances.

Sayashi: Dance is the same as songs in that in the end, it is something wherein individuality comes out. If people would pay attention to that and watch us, I think they'd be able to enjoy Morning Musume even more than now!



Fukumura and Ikuta

The current members' loyalty to Morning Musume is intense. Nakai Masahiro commented that it's like a religion, but what could the two girls, who were brought up listening to "LOVE Machine" instead of lullabies, be focused on?

Fukumura: Sorry, but when it comes to love for Hello Pro, I have a feeling I won't lose. I'm a SayuEri supporter not just in concert goods, but also in my everyday things. By the way, these are the goods that adorn our family car......(She starts boasting on and on about her goods.)

Ikuta: Nope, I won't lose with the level of my support for Niigaki-san. I, too, don't have just Niigaki-san's goods, if there are yellow-green things, I just buy them without thinking.

Fukumura: Eripon's affection for Niigaki-san may be special, but when it comes to love for the entire Hello Pro, no matter how you think about it, mine is superior.

Ikuta: In short, that's DD, right? [DD: "Dare Demo Suki"=Likes Anyone] My way can be said to be more earnest, can't it? (laughs).

Fukumura: What made me think that Eripon is extreme was Niigaki-san's bus tour!! Even though she's a member, she got together with the fans and was having fun. That made me think, "Hey that's unacceptable!" (laughs). She was mixing up personal affairs with business, right?

Ikuta: In my case, at any rate, I like idols in general. In terms of cuteness, right now I think SUPER☆GIRLS is amazing. Musically speaking, they don't just sing in unison, they also have a lot of solo parts, so their personalities stand out. I get motivation from such groups outside of Hello Project and I want to steal their good points.

Fukumura: At first, I couldn't understand that kind of approach from Eripon. It's because so far I've only been interested in Hello Project. But lately, I've also been checking out other idols for the sake of study. Having done that, now that I know about others, I once again realize what's great about Hello Project.

Ikuta: Now, the young female fans at the venues are increasing. Just like we did, I think they're starting to realize how cool Morning Musume is. The 11th generation will also join and, to put it clearly, the current Morning Musume is worth recommending!

The dancers and the Wotapons battle

^ That was a great read! I love them all.

[AyuHikaru]

Most likely we'll just get the full PV late, but not after the release. If they wait a month from when they said that's still before the release date. The smart thing to do would to release a close up version or something before that so Fans can stay excited, like what happened when 123 had it's dance shot released early. It went over really well, so I would hope they think about releasing something early again.

[Jessi]

I hope we see some outfits soon. Maybe after 13 Colorful Character is released. I hope the outfits are fitting and that they really put effort into the PV. A focus on the dance would be great since its such a cool dance visually.

[boinsie]

Ikuta: In my case, at any rate, I like idols in general. In terms of cuteness, right now I think SUPER☆GIRLS is amazing. Musically speaking, they don't just sing in unison, they also have a lot of solo parts, so their personalities stand out. I get motivation from such groups outside of Hello Project and I want to steal their good points.

Ahem*AKB*ahem.

Cool that they're delaying the full PV until everyone's able to dance!
