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

[Pavlova]

Just from the images I only know the simpler ones
Sayu : "Ue" Up/Rise
Reina : "Sachi/Kō" Happiness/Fortune
Fukuhime : "Hyou" Leopard(..prints?) wut xD
Eripon : "Sekai Ichi" World's Number 1
Riho : "Kouhaku"
Ayumin : "Dai/Ō" Big
Kuduu : It's not even Kanji at all lol, "Ikemen" in katakana
Sakura : "Zenshin Zenryoku" Forward full power

No idea what Zukki and Harunan's are
Edit after looking around 2ch
Zukki : 健康第一 which translates into something like "Health foremost" or something
Harunan : 漫極 no idea I'm betting it's got something to do with manga though

uh haruna's could be something like "culmination in spite of oneself" but that's really a stretch

[RpgN]

Holy Shit, they are fighting with this single. This is a group with fighting spirit, instead of one that rested on their laurels (Sorry Platinum Era, but you did )

I am fucking excited to see what this single will do (Also I need to preorder my copies, I keep forgetting)

It certainly seems that way.

But I wonder if it's really in their hands or rather decided by their management?

[Pavlova]

Oh of course it's decided my the management. The girls don't have much power outside of talk corners and doing stuff like what Chisato did with the YouTube videos and such.

[RpgN]

Then Platinum Era can't really be blamed in this case. Whatever happened down there was pretty noticeable and not just with Morning Musume.

[Zunu]

uh haruna's could be something like "culmination in spite of oneself" but that's really a stretch

It's something like "to master manga." See....

[Pavlova]

oh! yeah that makes perfect sense now.

[Starra]

I've seen artists do nation-wide tours before. A promotion campaign isn't that different really. MM。aren't the first.

[AyuHikaru]

No they aren't the first, but it's a first for them, and that's something.

Oh, I dont blame the members of platinum era at all for resting on their laurels, but regardless of who's decision it was, that's exactly what they did.

Does Haruna's kanji really say to master manga? OMG if it does

[Starra]

No I know, but the question was if this has ever been done before, and it indeed has.

I am excite.

[Pavlova]

yeah the first character is manga and the second one is "culmination, height, extremity

so that makes sense.
