[4/17] MM。53rd "Brainstorming/Kimi Sae Ireba Nani mo Iranai"

[Denki]

Or LE B/LE C. As long as they stay away from the Kimi Sae outfits.

[Jessi]

I actually like the Kimi Sae outfits. In just glad they have different outfits. I don't ever want a repeat of what happened with the Matenrou Show. They should have used those 2nd promotional outfits they wore around the time of the single. And would it have really been hard to get a new background? They had no problem making covers for the generational B-Sides so they could have made Matenrou show covers with the second outfits!!! Ugh what should have been!

Gurl no need to worry about the past UF is getting Better and better

[wotakubrandon]

Take one final look at the past....and we're out.

I like the KimiSae outfits when they're stationary.

[forgetmenots]

I actually like the Kimi Sae outfits as well '''

Also~ Limited C and Regular A first press are also now sold out on CDJapan, and Limited D will probably be the next to go. I cannot wait to see the numbers for this, I hope it blows the past three singles out of the water, but I'd be highly surprised if it didn't at least match the first week sales.

I was trying to look for the list itself, but I fail at this information gathering bit , so I searched through to find the list Amped put together a few weeks ago

Claris (anime OP tie-up)

YOSHIKO (choreographer) says that for Help Me!! the image was more square-like. For Brainstorming she had "snakes" in mind (as it's the snake year lol) also more circles and such.

In the video where Sakura and Riho talks about the dance, they say that the image is "broken dolls" in a factory. At first they're just dolls but then where they do that hand move, they are starting to break.
Could be cute.
But also very serious and kinda sad if you think about it deeper (as in, freedom in Japan and that whole discussion) which honestly wouldn't surprise me if Tsunku did. I keep saying Japan's society is like a machine or something - factory is not far from it either tbh. Just producing people to keep it going.
