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

[otaku_blue]

Agree that the flashing lights here were cool and should've been shown more.


The second half is definitely better, and the dance shot should've been shown more with different shots like the last 20 seconds of it imo.

Last minute and a half was sensational. Most of what came before wasn't very good, and the choices of edits were confusing. I hope this spends a bit more time in the cooker..

I love it and I don't mind its green-screen-ness one bit, but there was too much standing there doing nothing that could have been more dancing.

Looks like they fixed the mistake with the reflection on the wet road during the dance shot. It looks alright now.

Any theory as to why they did a second Morning Musume lightning at 3:56. The first one was at 1:23 and that is obviously the release date. Does 3:56 hold any meaning, if there is one to begin with.

Yeah, this. I like it a lot more now that I've seen the whole thing, but I don't like those shots where they're doing nothing. Even the ones where they're actually mouthing along to the song are okay.

Like some of you have said already I like this PV a lot from the first chorus on. It has... I don't know how to really explain it but an epicness to it. Like we will watch this PV years from now and say this is when Momusu officially came back into prominence. ::puts kool-aid glass down::

As for the girls I like them in this. That's how they roll. Good energy, good looks. Now onto Sakura, she has some nice moments and others where she's awkward. My pet peeve with her is she often stands with her shoulders shrugged and it makes her look like she has no neck. She's done it in pics too. It's just not a cute look for her. I still think her looks are gonna depend more on how she carries herself over just sheer physical beauty. If she can get that down she has that possibility of being that popular ace that will appeal to many.

The Morning Musume lightning bolt occurs right at the same points of the song just before the chorus. I don't think the timing of the second bolt has any significance other than that. I'm sort of leaning towards the first one just being a lucky coincidence.

If the first one was a coincidence, that is like a 1 in a million lucky moment

Or 1 in 284.

There is something about this lineup... that lacks the MoMusu sparkle...

There is no Miki, no Nacchi, no Maki, no Mari - once Reina is gone...honestly the girls vocally are all throw aways. At least Konno, Mako, Risa, Koha, they all made GREAT characters and entertainment... these girls are just... girls? ya know?

Mizuki can hold a note, but she isn't anything amazing. She vocally is with Mako I think. Presence and personality wise? She's...bland
Riho's voice is no Maki. Kanon and Erina are throw aways - Kanon at least makes up with personality. Out of 10th gen Haruka can actually sing, Ayumi is stunning but vocally has no real talent, Haruna is beautiful but again, vocally lacking. Masaki I think is the little bit of sparkle potential these girls have now.

Sayu is sayu. We all know.

Sakura I think has MASSIVE potential - but one 13 year old girl does not an idol group make. Unless that girl is Maki lol

I dunno... Yay berryz?

hmm I feel sad that you find these girls bland...maybe you just dont care for the 4th gen flavor...I mean yes they have a long way to go vocally, but entertainment, they are just fine.
