I wonder if he had a bet with someone how many names of places (cities/towns of Tokyo) he could put in the same song or something lmao

[DARC1993]

Single gen debute songs are always great. Lol.

But Sakura's is def the best. Lol
Sorry Egao YES Nude.

[321BreakinOut]

I thought the opening line was Sakura?

[Sohee]

Nope~ It's Mizuki. Also Eripon. Maybe Sakura is the one speaking WITH Eripon though but who knows. Surprised they were able to pick out Masaki though.

[Muni]

This song is amazing. I'm so digging this Morning Musume's new style, I think it really suits this generation and I like that they are trying something more modern than actually cute/pop idol songs. Also, the arrangemente is improving in each single, so instrumentally speaking this one is better than 1.2.3 and Wakuteka (althought I really like this one the most so far).
Also, Sakura's voice is great. She's really the kind of thing that this MM's line-up was missing, so it blends perfectly with everyone's voice and with the song.

And the girls look gorgeous on their profile photos. Everyone, really. I'm really glad that no crazy hairdresser tryed a funky/different style this time. But Ayumi, for me, is the one that loooks the greatest. She's really stunning, she nails this style and waved hair really fits her. She should wear it more often. Haruka also looks great with that hat. No one could pull it out like she did.

I'm so happy that, since Renai Hunter, Morning Musume is exciting me more and more in each single they release. During the Platinum era it was so unstable. I used to love a new release and hate the next one, it was seriously frustating. But now, I'm just happy with every new song.

[TotallyUncool]

It's good -- and yes, I like Sakura's voice! I think she's bringing a lot to the group!

[iceymoon]

the song.
the instrumental is bangin'. i wish there were more solo lines, but there is enough (plus the spoken lines!! ) to not be too unison-y. the melody is interesting and catchy. and not too much synthesizing! the only part i don't really like is the high-pitched way the voice is processed at 3:26, it makes an otherwise cool part a little comedic (which would be fine in a funnier song).

if they get secondary costumes and a cool PV, i will be officially in love.

i'm still on the outfits though lol. yeah still don't like Zukki's hair, couldn't it just have been a regular ponytail/side pony? but whatever, she's had worse. and whenever i see the outfits individually (blog photos) i'm like SO CUTE. but then there's a group shot and i get dizzy lol. i figured out what could have made them better, though.. two possibilities:
- the tops should have been made out of the black leather-ish fabric and used the leopard print as accents instead (but then it runs the risk of looking like the outfit is made out of three parts, like layers in a parfait)
OR
- the sleeves of the tops should have been given pink under-layers, similar to the way they did the skirts. and take the collars off of Mizuki/Riho/Haruna/Ayumi (or make them black instead of leopard).

i do like them though, more individually than as a group. just (as usual) i have a list of things i would change.

[wotakubrandon]

Sorry Egao YES Nude.

ONSA though

I kind of don't like the last line of the chorus. It actually reminds me of another Morning Musume song I'm not fond of that I can't think of.

[DARC1993]

I forgot Onna no Sachi are was a debut single too :3

But yes. Sorry to both songs. I need to do a debut song ranking now.

[AyuHikaru]

Uhhh wow. The instrumental is CRAZY in this this song. It's a good thing though, it's so complex and very... un H!P because of how complex it is. I love it. I hope Tsunku continues with these high quality instrumentals. The violins are just magic in the background, for real. The layers in this instrumental... seriously I can talk about the instrumental all day. It's THAT GOOD

Sakura sounds so good! I could immediately tell it was her though, she sounded new haha. I'm happy she's there, especially since my other two girls (Haruna/Ayumi) seemingly got no lines .

This song is kind of all over the place, but not in a bad way, it's chaos but controlled chaos. I love it a lot, like more than WTAC. I might like it more than 123, since it reminds me of old school MM that I got into with the new school MM.

There's just... so much right with this single so far. The song is Solid, the outfits are cute.

I really hope the PV is good WITH multiple outfits because, even though I like the leopard print, it would be really annoying to see them in that one outfit for the whole video. Also something more creative than just close ups and dance shots. They were on the right track with WTAC with the laying on the light panel and the light jail thing, that was cool and pretty creative (Even though they were jusyt close ups, at least they were interesting close ups), so I'd like to see them expand on that creativity. Though I can see this video being a bit dark, which I would prefer. Like Nanchatte Renai in the seedy warehouse or something. Which means, the backgrounds going to be bright white because I always imagine the PV wrong
