Homey

After seeing someone posting in H!O about Sayumi mentioning Eri and JunJun in "Homey" DVD, I then took a look at the subbed version of the video.

I mentioned somewhere before about Sayu would feel lonely after Eri graduated. And in this video, she really seemed that she was kind of suffering by this fact. It was not like that she could not survive in the group, and need to leave. But i think that it was still an impact to her.

In the current group,

Aichan and Risa should be close.

Reina and Aika were always together since 2007.

However, Sayu wasn't that close with any the above four members. Sayu-Eri bond.. was really tight.

For the days after those 3 graduated, there must be a lot of thing that she wanted to share with Eri... or... maybe JunJun

I always think that the relationship between Sayu and JunJun... was kind of a mystery.

On show, Sayu always complained that JunJun was copying her. Like..she complained in almost every show.

and in pictures and DVD, Both of them doesn't seems that close. Except for blog pictures]

Therefore, I always think that JunJun and Sayu were normal friends, or maybe only simple companion.

In the graduation concert, I was surprised that ... Sayu finally... wanted to express her true feeling on JunJun in public. I knew that they worked together for almost 4 yrs, so there must be some kinds of bond between them... but i never thought that Sayu would cry when facing JunJun... It seems like that there were ALOT of thing happened between those two.

But anyway, JunJun graduated, so the file would be sealed and then no one would mention it again.

Surprisingly!,

I never thought that, Sayu would mention Jun again in the video.

Sayu was crying in the video. She struggled her words out... She gave me the feeling that she had a lot of words that she wanted to speak out [ maybe to JunJun] , but it seemed that the truth was too hard to be spoken out... so at last , she only kept on saying similar stuff...

interesting...

but i think this would be the last time Sayu would mention this "case" openly.

and the "truth" would remain secret forever...

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 1]

I just watched the Cinderella Musical from MM~
and i got some ideas on the future potential on each MM member.

[ The situation in MM is like , all the members can do very well; ... cont. ]

Takahashi Ai :

She was an excellent singer when she first joined MM. After 7 year she still remains her quality. Compare to the others 5 gen. She has a lot of chances to show off her ability. However, i think that she always uses the same strong voice in every song, and she has a lot of lines in each MM song. In result i found out that her voice is boring after hearing for many many times[ in a very very very little degree only]. or maybe not that blend in others member voice when other members are not as strong as her. I can only say that she is not fresh enough for new excitement ~
*She will keep staying in the same status, potential level is decreasing.

Niigaki Risa :

Same as Aichan , she joined MM for 7 years. And compare to Aichan, she had less chance to show off her ability. And now , she has many lines in Cover Yuu~ Most of the fans admit that her voice is good . However, i think that it is a little bit late to show her talent now . Same as Ai chan she is not new in MM... So... if an already MM fans is first not a Risa fan, he/she will not turn easily suddenly to Risa~ . And i think that her voice is lack of explosion after i saw the Cinderella Musical thingie. Compare to everyone else. Maybe it is because in the musical she needed to pretend to be a man and used a very low voice while singing... i just don't feel that she is in her good shape...
* Her potential is growing slowly, and will pop up when she becomes the leader ~

Kamei Eri :

After Cover Yuu and Cinderella, i think that she has a very high potential. She just does not have the right chances. When she sang Koi ing [ which i think she did a nice job , however Ai and Miki who were more famous is there],& there was a Reina singing Shabondama; and nowadays singing chances are mostly given to Reina & Ai . / She can hit the high notes and low notes nicely .~ Cool . I think her voice is more attractive compare to Risa ~
* Her future potential level is the best in MM!!!

Michishige Sayumi :

Her singing skill is not good. However she has a nice voice ! Seishun jidai ~ thumb up for her ~ just like Koharu, if her voice doesn't "be that cute " like in "Ringo satsujin jiken" the fooli fooli part ~ i think that she can sing as good as many other members~ It is good that she realize that she wants more line ^^~ Her radio shows are good !!
* maybe sometime in the future, i think that she will change her whole image and she will shine, shine and shine !. High potential !
