I'm a bit late but...
So far, I'm loving this whole single. And this is so perfect since it's Reina's last. I feel so gratefull that she'll have a good farewell....

Brainstorming is perfect. Just perfect. At first I thought it lacked of creativity since it has some similar partes to Wakuteka, but after the second listening I just got hooked. I loved the lyrics, the dance is amazing and very dynamic, probaly the best of this new MM (and we're talking about great dances routines), and the Riho x Ayumi dance fight is to die for!! Also de scenario is cool and the outfits are really awsome. I mean, it's good to see they wearing something stylish and updated and not just regular idol outfits. Also everyone got to participate and shine a little. Sakura is amazing, Tsunku choosed wisely. And Masaki sounds really great in her solo line. Absolutely love this track.

As for Kimi Sae Ireba Nani mo Iranai (damn, I'll have trouble remembering this song's title) is somehow catchy. Is really different, but the chours is really addictive and the solo lines are showing the best of the singing skills from the girls. The others elements of this dance shot video didn't excited me as Brainstorming's did but it can still grow on me a lot. I just can't stand this outfits. It neither help the girls nor the dance moves. But I liked the song and I can't seem to get it out of my head :p

Reina's solo song Rock no Teigi is just OMFG SJAQYW2JSKAHA !!!! Beeing a Reina fan I'm just sooooo happy that her solo graduating song is just so AWSOME. It's really catchy and Reina's singing is great. She's really nailing the high tones. I'm hoping for a great PV for this one because the song is great. Tsunku's really inspired lately

And finally, Tokimeki Tokimeku, or the "adult"'s song is fun... I'm liking this echtro vibe that Tsunku is pushing lately. It fits this MM's generation a lot. Also the latest b-sides have something more than just regular "b-sides" songs wich is awsome.

I just hope that the other b-side will turn out as a ballad and not as a "kid's song". A ballad in this single would be good to equilibrate the whole package lol.

(Sorry about the long post, I just can't hold my excitment no longer )

Just wanted to point that this single comes with 3 PVs that come as a bonus when you buy a limited.

As in 3 different music videos!

I really think this is management experimenting with the effect of more PVs as a bonus.

newspaper article about Riho

Itsumo to onnaji seifuku de is a bland, throwaway track. Such a shame when they had all the solid voices on this track.

[Sohee]

newspaper article about Riho

Summary. Kinda.
- When she had her injury and couldn't dance (2011) for over a month, was when she decided to work hard on singing too as she would need to be able to do something else.
- When Aichan graduated, Riho started to feel stronger and stronger that she has to get better so she could carry Morning Musume.
- The staff feel very relaxed with her, as despite being young and there being a lot of young members in Morning Musume right now, Riho is very reliable even when doing solo interviews.
- Riho gets told a lot that her mental age is 43 years old.
- About Reina's graduation, she says that she of course feels insecure but because Morning Musume always keeps changing, everyone is determined to fill hole in the group after Reina's left. Riho has vocal training planned for this.
- Her goal for this year, too, is NHK Kouhaku.
- She says she knows/thinks that the fans surely takes pride in being Morning Musume fans, and for this and to be able to be told "See that's My Morning Musume!" she want to work hard and make the group one of those that create history worthy to put down in the history textbooks. She wants to become an old lady who's able to brag to her grandchildren about having been a member of the group.



Say what you want about her singing - I still think she did horribly in the Resonant Blue performance last fall - but I love her attitude and her sense of responsibility.

[LiamMusume]

I really like her attitude
I really don't think she is a bad singer, yes some songs may not suit her range very well but I think she still does well in them.
And I must say I love her voice in The Matenrou Show Type 0, I don't know why, it just sounds so natural

Riho's voice in TMS > Riho's voice in TMS Type 0

My 2 cents.
