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

[randompasserby]

Yep was having a bit of a problem finding the right words, that's why I often put /other words behind it
They're about as conservative with their idols as any other imo, but yeah +1 for classy and human

[RpgN]

Yes, they're about the closest to being classy and human (out of all the idols from other managements) even though it doesn't take a away that they still try to carefully tap into that market with stuff like photobooks and picking young and cute girls now and then.

I honestly can't say ours girls are better than all the other idols out there, when I don't invest into others much besides watching stuff very casually. What they put out works best for me though. It's not only those aspects we've been talking about, but the whole style and sound they come out with. I suppose that's Tsunku's vision?

[Sohee]

Having photobooks is part of being an idol no matter the company. The difference is HOW the photobooks are done - what outfits, what poses, what make-up etc etc. And now, I haven't seen every single photobook from an *48 girl, but I've seen enough to say that I'm really happy that H!P girls doesn't do their photobooks that way. I'm not even thinking about the Kasai Tomomi scandal with the little boy covering her nipples right now, but that could be one example. One of Acchan's photobooks were quite bad in the way at least 50% of the photos were directed in the way that they were obviously taken to imply something. A pose here or a photo taken from a certain angle there and enough of all that just adds up to be really... not classy, IMO. H!P can have suggestive poses and all too of course, but it's far from the same thing as far as I'm concerned.

The girls themselves aren't no better than any other idol (biases aside lol), but I really do prefer UF's management so much compared to other idols'. I don't know the details about *48's management as much as I'd like to, and definitely not about MomoClo, but at least the big picture and all is easy to grasp without being into it too much and that alone makes me really happy that H!P is managed by UF.

Why on earth would someone take a photo of a young boy cupping a grown woman's breasts?!

[Celedam]

To get you to talk about it.

[AyuHikaru]

Why on earth would someone take a photo of a young boy cupping a grown woman's breasts?!

It was dumb. It was so, so dumb. I don't now who greenlit it, they were probably high. It was amazingly dumb.

But hey publicity.

[Starra]

The PB has been cancelled anyway, yo.

[DSQueenie]

Yup and investigated by the police.

Soooo... who wants to bet that Ayumi is next to get a photobook?

[Starra]

It's a good think Kasai's graduating anyway .

[Daisuki Daiiyo]

Soooo... who wants to bet that Ayumi is next to get a photobook?

Could you imagine all of the crazy eye we'd get? It would be glorious. The internet would spawn hundreds of those endless-gifs where it zooms in on Ayumi's crazy eye, to reveal another picture of Ayumi giving a crazy eye, and etc.

I sooner see Fukuhime doing one though, or Harunan.
