Injuries

Seems like there will be an eight "week" rest for Aika.

And she will miss some of the concerts.

Her feet, since she joined MM,seemed to be having problem.

She rarely wore high heels when all the others did. And the fans always discuss on that topic.

Since sometime her shoes look awkward in group photos.

and since a few months ago, it seems that her feet was getting worst.

She sat on a wheelchair or using some sort of stand assists for a while already..

I wonder if she could find a method to heal her feet in one go or in a short period of time.

or else this will really pull her out from a dancing group.

Best luck to her.

and to the 8th gens.

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 !
