What will happen next?

The theme of this year H!P concert is ~Kakumei Gannen~, which means "revolution of H!P"
This leads me to a thought that the graduation of the Elder Club is only the first step of something big which is going on .

After the touching farewell to the Elder Club member, only Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou , Cute and the eggs will remained in H!P [I am not sure about Ice CreaMusume though]
The number of the remaining members is kind of similar to the population of AKB48... which I always think that maybe one day MM + Berry + Cute will disband and form something big. And I really don't want that to happen.

I really love the current line up of Morning Musume. and I really don't want any members to leave.
But.
Look at the rating of Yorosen, the rating of Ai chan's new drama. This reflects that current MM don't have enough supporters to allow them to even keep a regular weekly TV show. The 8th gen population is low. Especially Jun + Lin. LinLin Yorosen week , which I think that it is funny and entertaining, does not even get a 2% rating. Jun + Lin, and all MM members have many talents... but now they are like fresh seafood which are being put into a refrigerator . Maybe the world is changing, and H!P needs to change too...

I just think that a big change is coming ...

All covers are out

Cover for both limited version is out..
i think they are nice^^~ a brand new style

but piling the heads together make me think of a type of food in Hong Kong ...

fishball...

"Nai chao Kamo" cover ~ MM style !?

Compare the "Nai chao Kamo" cover to "Onna ni Sachi Are" , same style , different color ~
Maybe they want to united the style of the cover ~~"

Finally this CD had arrived ~ It is really collectable , a new page of H!P oversea market.
If they succeed in Taiwan, it means that they can be famous in Hong Kong, China, and mostly the whole Asia because the chinese market is big, and ; however, competetive ~

It contains CD + DVD~

First for the CD :

There are 7 songs in this CD. and 5 of them are original Morning Musume songs . For these cover songs, they are all famous song from MM. H!P just reproduce them using another language. Since the singers are different and the lyrics are in Chinese. The cover songs are quite fresh to hear.
The only cover song that they sung in Japanese is Morning Coffee. H!P did edit the bgm of the song. and i think that the effect is surprisingly good.

Then for the ICM debut song[ song #1 & 6 ], it has both Chinese and Japanese version. Both are good. but i think most people will like the Jap version more as a H!P fan ~


DVD part :

Many lovely moment from them . Footage on there trip to Japan. Its really a good video for fans to know them better ^^~ Moreover, Abe Natsumi is in the DVD too ~[ yup, only 30s though...]

---

I know that many people are still wonder who is ICM... or maybe thinking that H!P is wasting money on them. I just believe that time can prove the truth.
At the end of January, they will go on the stage of H!P concert... I think the reaction from the fans will totally change their fate... Best luck to them ~

Thoughts on MM new single "Naichau Kamo" /"泣いちゃうかも"

Ok . Dohhhup now has the PV for Morning Musume's newest single "Nai chao Kamo".



First of all , i listened to the song once and tried to ignore the radio rip when the song was first played in Reina's radio show. This is because compare to "Resonant Blue" <- which i like it so much , the song is not that attractive under radio rip version . & i think that maybe a better version of the song can help to attract me better. At this moment , I still think that the song is kind of boring ~ Nowadays, MM songs always start with Ai's voice or Reina's voice. They sing well. But when every song is like this ... the pattern is boring . And i always want the 8th gen to have more lines. MM needs new voice[ Sayumi/AIka/Jun/Lin ~/ or a ballad song[song with smoother music].

Then, about the PV... again. not enough excitement. The background is shiny[Pepper Keibu ...] and i can see some umbrella hanging on the top, which kind of suit the raining , tear theme. But the scene of the PV is changing too fast. Dancing scene-> then suddenly crying scene-> then another person scene... The song is an up beat song already... it is hard to keep up with the rapid switching scene.
Anyway, most members' crying scenes are good. and i esp like Ai, Koharu and JunJun. But as Reina said in her radio show, they use "fake tears" , i wonder who uses the "fake one ' and who cries for real .
The dance is strange. The PV is danceshot + close up and its too regular since " Egao YES Nude".

In total, its good that MM have new release. The "cover songs" period is too long~

Morning musume member's potential [Part 2]

Tanaka Reina :

She has one of the most powerful voice in MM. And she is starting to become a member who leads in songs. However, i really think that the current line distribution is strange in MM. Maybe she got many lines, but the lines are not good enough to show her singing ability ~ And i am not sure y many people start to dislike her , maybe this show that she need to increase her charming level.[ But i think that she is perfect] ~ ^^~

*Therefore i think that her future potential is above average.

Koharu Kusumi :

Beautiful girl. Genki girl. She is kind of perfect. And her potential level is nearly as high as Eri . Same as Sayumi, she has a nice voice ; i think that she just needs time to improve. So i think after a fews year she will bloom perfectly.

* The only 7th gen ~

Mitsui Aika:

She still needs time to grow ~. her voice is good , and she gets more lines than Sayumi , JunJun, LinLin ~ However she missed some of the good chances to show her ability. Whenever i watch concert dvds, her voice seems lack of power. Maybe it is because she still need more experience in live .

* Stable potential ~

JunJun :

A strange girl. She is 20 yrs old, however she is one of the newest gen member in MM . She has the ability to control any atmosphere into a funny and positive one. And i think that she helped to link up the older members in MM to the younger members in MM. Her singing is ok, and i think she can still improve a lot . ~
* potential ~ many people start to love her more and more

LinLin:

Her voice is amazing , like Reina and Eri ~ Three of them have the potential to sing explosively . She is the most experienced artist in MM too. She is one of the few artists who joined MM where before she had been worked for another agency. JunJun knows how to play piano, and LinLin knows how to play piano and guitar. She is so talented. I always think that she can bring MM to another greater level ~ [ i really hope that this will happen]

+ super high future potential !
