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

[randompasserby]

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.

It flashed at 1:27 on my end here so I don't even realize that was supposed to have any significance with the release date or anything

According to Haruna in that Girlspop TV clip, the cameramen actually went out to different cities in Japan and shot those various scenes from those cities that they use in the MV. Pretty cool.

I love this PV. It doesn't blind my eyes and I see a new Morning Musume reborn like a phoenix.

haters gonna hate

A whole hell of a lot more cost effective to send a cameraman to each of those locations instead of Momusu themselves. Saves time too. Plus it wouldn't have been a good idea to have the girls filming a PV outside in the middle of winter. We already got 2 girls sick without it.

3:56.... what could that mean... March 56st? Can't find that on my calendar. It's a premonition. ::grabs kool-aid:: of a 356K seller.

Love this shit! Just preordered it myself.

I also think the last minute and a half is sensational. It gives the PV a perfect, epic ending. I get thrilled just by watching it.

And the phoenix parts never get old...

And about that, geek moment:

The phoenix parts just makes me wanna shout a line from Saint Seiya, an anime that was very popular in South America and France.
There's this guy, Ikki, who wears a phoenix armor and, naturally, has a phoenix strike

Initially I wasn't feeling it but i wanted to save my final judgements after watching it a couple of times and I really really like it a lot. I agree the second half was amazing and do was the ending to it

You r right. It is on 1:27. In the preview from Girls News it was spot on 1:23. They have added something that pushed it off by 4 sec.

The title at the beginning of the PV prolly threw the timing off by 4 seconds. Meaning that the second message is actually at 3:52. 52 = Momusu's 52nd single. 3 could mean a ton of stuff.

The 3rd single in Momusu's resurrection.
There's 3 versions of the PV.
Sakura is the 3rd solo generation member.
It's during the 3rd chorus.
This will be Momusu's 3rd million selling single. ::kool-aid has turned into honk-ism::
3 of their members are legal.
3 the number of Zukki close up shots in this PV.... Kei, Aika, Junners, Linners all give their condolences.
Tsunku has 3 testicles.

I don't know. Maybe it's nothing. But conspiracies are fun.

[Zunu]

Tsunku has 3 children.
His wife's family name, idemitsu, could be partially written in goroawase (number slang) as ide3.
