Morning Musume's 46th SIngle "Only You" PV Review

Long time no see, guys ^^

Well I watched the new Momusu PV a few days ago and since I'm bored I might as well write a review like a used to do XD

Let me start off by saying, since this is a PV review I want go into how much I hate this song. Not because of how it sounds but of who's singing the whole thing. Yes, Ai & Reina and little dancer Riho. I don't have anything against them but one day I would like it when Ai and Reina aren't lead singers in at least one single. Apart from that the song is alright, but I'm still not that attached to it like other songs. But I do love auto tuned Gaki a lot XD

Now, to start off the PV was actually pretty good. Much better than their last singles. The whole crystal look with the white outfits looked amazing and elegant. Also putting candles around the girls in the what looked like an almost dark yet elegant place was a very nice touch.

The dance was also nice, but was almost very simple for such a powerful sounding song. I was expecting something more stiff but almost very sexy. The close ups of all the girls were good. The girls looked extremely cute and gorgeous all throughout the PV, especially Sayu, Risa & AI (I would never see the day where I'd say Ai looked beautiful in a PV) I think the kyuukies pulled off being sexy quite well, but I still find it weird seeing them being sexy at such a young age.

Overall, the whole thing was a pleasure to watch and hope for more PVs like this in the future, for Morning Musume or any other H!P group.

Rating: 8/10
Stand Out Girls: Sayumi, Risa, Ai & Aika

C-ute 6th Album "Chou Wonderful! 6" Review

It's been awhile since I've done an album review (last one was Fantasy ga Hajimaru Juuichi, right?)
Anyway I'm here with C-ute's new album.

1. Chou Wonderful!

Chou Wonderful is probably your typical C-ute song. It's energetic, powerful and cute. I really love it, but I have some problems with it.
It sounds more like a Buono song. I haven't got anything Buono but I think that this song would of fitted Buono's image more than C-ute's.
The instrumental kind of bores me. I'm not a big fan of the instrumental for several reasons, it has a lot of guitar which reminds me of a rock song, and I hate a lot of rock songs (not all). It doesn't really fit their voices. Even though it's supposed to be pop rock song, I think they turned it into more of a rock song and gave the pop to the singing.
Apart from that it's an overall awesome song

7/10

2. Midnight Temptation

The first time I heard this I was wondering why everyone loved the song, and now I see why. The instrumental sounds so cool and their voices blend quite well with the song. That's about it. I don't dislike anything, even though I used to dislike it

9/10

3. Iza, Susume! Steady Go!

I don't like it for unknown reasons. Mai's voice sounds bad but it has improved over years. Also it sounds like they just repeated every line 1000x

3/10

4. Rururururu

I don't really find this song that good. They're voices sound really beautiful in it, but I just find myself falling asleep. It was supposed to be a lullaby song then I would loved but assuming it's supposed to be a ballad it just doesn't really do it for me. Which is quite disappointing because I was looking forward to hearing a new C-ute ballad

5/10

5. Wakaretakunai...

I like this song...sorta. I really like the sound of instrumental and their voices, but after awhile it gets really boring. Their voices start to sound exactly the same, even Nakky's sounds the same and in my opinion that's hard to imagine. Besides that I like it but it's not their best

6/10

6. Circle

I absolutely love this song. Even though I don't find Maimai's voice that good, it definitely fitted this song so much. Her cute voice mixed with an almost cute and genki instrumental definitely sounds awesome. The other members sounded awesome but Maimi and Maimi definitely sounded the best in this song.

10/10 <----- Pretty rare to see this

7. 3ban Houmu 3 Ryou Me

Ok this has to be my favourite song on the album. Not because Maimi gets quite a lot of lines because of the Summer feel of the song. It sounds so awesome, the instrumental definitely fits every single one of their voices. Even though the song drags on for a long time I still find myself swaying to their beautiful voices and summer instrumental. Definitely the best song on the album

10/10

Overall the album has some blunders and some ups. But I must admit that it is much better than Shocking 5 but still I wouldn't say it's their best album of all time

Overall Rating: 50/70
Overall Song Ranking:

1. 3ban Houmu 3 Ryou Me
2. Circle
3. Midnight Temptation
4. Chou Wonderful!

S/mileage 6th Single "Koi ni Booing Buu!" PV Review

The PV for S/mileage's 6th Single "Koi ni Booing Buu! was released a couple of days ago and at first I was really excited to see this PV, then I watched it and that feeling kind of went away fast.

Since this review is probably going to have me hate on this PV so much let's start with the good things of the PV.

Good Thing #1:
The PV was so cute and energetic, which made me happy since when I think of S/mileage I think of childish and cute. Which in my opinion fits them the most.

Good Thing #2:
The song is awesome. At first I didn't really find the song that great but after a couple listens it actually isn't that bad. All their voices sound great, especially Dawa and Sakichy's.

And that's the end of the good things (yeah there's only two things)

Now on to the bad things

Bad Thing #1:
The pig. The pig just wrecks the PV so much. I wouldn't mind it if it was just in the corner nowhere to be seen, but instead it's in every single scene. It's gets quite annoying seeing a pig with too make-up on and that looks like a hooker just popping up every killing S/mileage's spotlight. I'm pretty sure that the group name was S/mileage, not Hooker Pig ft S/mileage.

Bad Thing #2:
The fact that the song is related to pigs. I know H!P doesn't make that great of songs and that they're not as popular as they used to years ago, but seriously making a song related to pigs must be the worst thing ever. I love pigs but making a song of it isn't the best thing in my books. Maybe cats, dogs or even a turtle would be better.

Bad Thing #3:
Flying S/mileage Pigs. It's random and I don't like it, that's about it

Bad Thing #4:
S/mileage in the black outfits. I love the black outfits they look awesome, but when they were put in the PV they kinda wrecked the cute image of the PV. There depressed looking faces were not cute.

Bad Thing #5:
The pig...oh wait I already said this. Who cares I hate the pig.

And yeah that's about it

Rating

PV - 5/10
Song - 8/10
S/mileage Cuteness - 100/10
Pig - -1000000000000000000000/10

If you haven't seen the PV, here it is

H!P Poll #5

Kinda late with this but still, here are the results of the poll I posted a month ago

Seishun no Serenade - 1 vote
Shortcut - 0 votes
Kiss Me Aishiteru - 3 votes
Heroine ni Narou ka - 3 votes
Maji Desuka SUKA - 5 votes

It wasn't that surprising to see MM's song win since it's Momusu and it was different and refreshing from previous Momusu songs. If I remember right, I voted for Heroine or was it Kiss Me? I don't know, but I'm glad they came 2nd. Kinda disappointing to see S/mileage get no votes but still it wasn't there best song

Next poll - Favourite song on AKB's "Sakura no Ki ni Narou"

Happy Birthday Marikosama~!!

It was Shinoda Mariko's birthday today YAY~!!
Even though I was gonna do this blogpost earlier (like 8 hours earlier) but all the earthquake and worrying of the H!P and AKB48 girls I got caught up in that.

Anyway Mariko 25 now? She doesn't even look 25 she looks so much younger.
It's unfortunate she had to spend her birthday when there was a earthquake in Japan, even though she was in Guam with a few other AKB girls.

Anyway Happy Birthday Mariko-sama~!! <3333

I'll post a lot of pictures later

Non H!P Member/Song of the Day

Non H!P Member of the Day

Sato Amina (AKB48)



I think it happened after I saw a picture of Amina and Lovetan (Oota Aika) which made me fall in love with her. Amina has always stood out for me, with her extreme cuteness. Also facial expression are the best part of her.
AMINA <3

Non H!P Song of the Day

Banzai Venus - SKE48

No video

I really hated this song when it came out, because it sounded like one of your typical SKE songs but after a few listens and a watch of the PV it's probably one of SKE's best songs.
I love it so much

H!P Member of the Day

Nakajima Saki/Suzuki Airi

  


They both stood out after the new profile pictures. Airi used to be my favourite C-ute member but I guess Maimi, then Chisa, then Nakky became more interesting. As for Nakky I never really paid attention to her until late last year when Aitai Lonely Christmas was released.

H!P Song of the Day

None

No songs have really stood out today which is a shame :(

Non H!P Member/Song of the Day

Non H!P Member of the Day

Akimoto Sayaka (AKB48)



I've always been a Sayaka fan, since she's strong, funny, a good leader and is awesome at singing. The reason she is member of the day is because of a picture I saw of her today. It was of her and Yuko, they were so cute. I'm glad Sayaka's Team K's captain again since there's never gonna be another Captain like Sayaka.

Non H!P Song of the Day


It's not one of NYC's best songs or PV's but I'm totally addicted to it. Love their voices, especially Yuma's since he has that deep voice. I like deep voices (lol)
Chii and Yamada were good too, but I liked Yuma overall in this PV and song which is weird since I would usually like Yamada but I guess he didn't appeal to me this time.

H!P Member/Song of the Day!

H!P Member of the Day

Kumai Yurina



She's my 3rd favourite out of the current H!P. I found myself thinking about her after looking at a picture of her in her Heroine ni Narou ka outfit. She looked so beautiful. That is why she is the member of the day.

H!P Song of the Day

Ajisai Ai Ai Monogatari - v-u-den


It's been awhile since I've listened to this song and sung to it. v-u-den was probably the first H!P sub group I learnt. I love the PV and it's storyline. This was the song that made me love Charmy and Yui, they were so stunning in this PV, which made me want to listen to this song again.

Non H!P Member/Song of the Day

Non H!P Member of the Day

Inoo Kei (Hey! Say! JUMP)


I don't know why he's the member of the day. He's a funny guy ever since I saw the making of Dreams come true and I like his girly personality even though I know he's probably one of the manliest of the JUMP members. Still he's awesome

Non H!P Song of the Day

Unusual - Namie Amuro ft Yamashita Tomohisa


This songs probably been on replay all day. I'm not really a fan of Namie or Yamapi but they sound so good together. Even though the random English wreaks the song slightly it's still a catchy song

H!P Member/Song of the Day!

Since there's nothing new happening in the H!P or AKB48 world or any thing in the idol world that interests me, I'll just do this for a blogpost.

H!P Member of the Day!

Sudou Maasa


I've been thinking about Maasa all day all because of a blog pic I saw of her today. Her voice is amazing and dancing is awesome. Too bad she's not that popular. She's ranked #4 on my Berryz ranking but I'm sure with more push I'm sure I'd like her a lot more.

H!P Song of The Day


I've found myself humming to this song, after 4 months of not listening to it. I've forgotten how awesome this song is and still is. Probably one of my favourite Shuffle Group songs.

Random Thought~!!

Was listening to Heroine ni Narou ka and something struck me.
And that's when I realised that the start of Heroine ni Narou ka sounds so similar to the one of Another World ~Mirai no Bokura e~ by NYC.
Yes, I know random but it just surprised me

Heroine ni Narou ka - Berryz Koubou



Another World ~Mirai no Bokura e~ - NYC

Morning Musume 45th Single "Maji Desuka Suka" Full Radio Rip

Long time no see.
It's been a while since I've posted here.

Anyway the full radio rip of Maji Desuka Suka has been released.
I like how the song sounds and how everyone got to have solo lines. It gives all of the members a chance to shine and gives us a chance to see the 9th Gen's strong points and weak points in singing as well.

Riho sounds awesome in her solo parts. Her voice fits so well with the song.
Eripon doesn't have the best voice but she sure does rock her solo lines in the song. The best voice vocals from the 9th Gen solo's
Zukkini also sounds great, I still don't like her accent but I'm sure it'll grow on me.
Mizuki sounds so nice, but too bad she only had the lines "Anata wo shiritai." I would of loved to here much more from her since her voice is so lovely.

Sayu sounds alright, not the best compared to other songs but still cute.
Aika was awesome, I didn't recognize her voice at first. I thought she was Reina. She certainly has improved.
Reina's voice was nice and so was Ai's.
Gaki's kinda annoyed me, it sounds like she's shouting but I guess she always sounds like that at concerts.

Overall the song is awesome and brings back some memories of past Momusu songs. I'm starting to like this new Momusu a lot <3

I'm happy that Mariko, Takamina and Acchan won but pretty sad that Kojiharu didn't get at least one vote. But maybe that's because I didn't really promote the site that much.
Anyway I'm glad the 3 girls won

I'm glad that Zukkini won since she is just awesome and so cute.
Kinda sad that Ikuccha didn't get as much votes and so didn't Fuku-chan.
One thing that surprised me was that Riho didn't win. From all the popularity Riho, it's kinda surprising she lost.

S/mileage 5th Single "Shortcut" PV Review

YAY~!! The Shortcut PV was released and ready to be reviewed!



Well I really like the song. It's full of energetic singing, nice beats and especially lots of S/mileage cuteness.
The PV wasn't one of their greatest but it was certainly awesome. The start was really cute seeing Yuuka and Ayaka look at their long hair for the last time in awhile. I also liked the dancing on the moon with a S/mileage flag which I thought was also very cute. I loved the dance, it was very energetic yet very slow-ish XD
The only thing I didn't like about this PV was the part where the hairdresser was cutting Yuuka's and Ayaka's long hair.

Stand Outs: All of them

Takahashi Ai To Graduate Morning Musume & Hello!Project

It was announced on Tsunku's blog and the H!P website that 5th Gen, Takahashi Ai is going to graduate at the end of the Momusu 2011 Autumn Concert.
Ai will be continuing her work around singing/music and live theatre. Fellow 5th Gen, Niigaki Risa will take her spot as leader.

It wasn't really a surprise that Ai was gonna graduate, it was bound to happen sometime soon. But the thing that shocked me was that the announcement of the graduation was so soon and that Risa wasn't graduating with her.

According to Tsunku, it was a good time to graduate Ai since she has been in the group for a really long time, and to be honest I have to agree. It basically looked like the group was Ai centred.

We will miss Ai dearly, with her awesome dancing skills, singing voice, great leadership for the past years and of course her manly screams.

Takahashi Ai, until the day comes we will all be supporting you.

I'm not really sure with the romaji but still...
I'm not sure if the tracklist is confirmed but it looks likea promising single.

Apparently, the PV is supposed to be 21 minutes long which in my head is a really really long time for PV but if it's that long it has to be worth watching.
I'm glad Undergirls and Theatre Girls are on the single since they always have awesome songs and it means more exposure for less popular girls.
A surprise for me was that MINT are having another song. It's kinda confusing since "Kimi ni Tsuite" was supposedly there last song. Even the PV showed that it ws there last song. But anyway I'm glad MINT are having another song. I hope for another slow ballad.

Also there is still no news on who the extra 5 members are.
