[1/23] Morning Musume's 52nd Single "Help me!!"

[otaku_blue]

Haruna seems kinda bored.

Zukki, Erina, Sayumi, Reina, Riho, Ayumi, Masaki and Sakura are all gorgeous there


But they all look amazing.

I agree about the pink dress breaking the leopard print pattern is a good idea. Heaps curious about their footwear now.

[wotakubrandon]

Well it least the all look lovely despite the clothes. I want to see some good ponytail whip action from Kanon and Riho.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I love the sea of leopard print. Everyone looks pretty great.

Has me really curious about sets/backgrounds for the PV.
----

"Nani wa Tomo Are!" (なには友あれ!) - At any rate/If nothing else*
* なにはともあれ means "At any rate" but the title has 友 (friend) in the title so I'm guessing it's a play on words... No idea how to translate it with friend in stead though. It's also likely he's referring to a manga that had the same title - but that just might be the same play on words there.

Could "At Any Rate, Keep Your Friends!" (or something like that) work? I saw someone on another site had translated it to something similar.

FULL SONG

Its upbeat and kinda cool. I like some parts, I like the 2nd verse a lot.

There's such a strong contrast between Sakura's voice against Reina's and Riho's.


I'd like the song more if they didnt have the really long lines in the chorus, and I keep hearing "Help me" at the end of the chorus.


Love the talking, its very nostalgic of old MM songs.

I still want a dance rehearsal video again though

[wotakubrandon]

Not quite as good as 123 and Wakotaco imo but it's not five minutes long so....
My favorite part so far is the instrumental tbh.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I think I like it more than "One Two Three".

Must see dance.

[otaku_blue]

Looking back it took me ages to get into WTAC, so I guess its a good sign that I liked it easily. '

[zam_ho]

I like it. Its like a follow up to WANT!

Berryz - great outfit!
Momusu - great outfit!
Cute - ?
Smileage - ?

[Panic Nancy]

I like it. Sakura sounds so great. Yay Mizuki lines. Now I feel better. I wonder if Sakura will sing live on TV or not.

[aishiteruaibon]

I think I like it. I hope the sales surprise me when it's released.


Okay, by the end of the song, I decided I approve fully. Still not as good to me as WTAC (nothing ever will be), and I haven't listened to it enough times to tell if I like it over One • Two • Three. But I think with a good few repeated plays, it will surpass it.

I actually don't mind the outfits at all, although it's kind of hard to look at the group photo... my poor eyes!

Everyone looks amazing x10. As someone mentioned, I wish they had accentuated Maachan's beautiful features with a bit of makeup. And Haruka + hat = ahhhh my aidoruuu
