H!P new PVs and songs!
So many things were released today!
But, we're a little slow with the update, uni just started back up again. -__-"
First up is the S/mileage 'aMa no jaku' PV
It's actually a better looking PV than a lot of H!P PVs.
We also have the full version of Morning Musume's PV for Nanchatte Renai
I think I like the song more now that I've heard the full version. The PV is kind of standard though...
---
A few recordings of the new songs from some of the new shuffle groups have also surfaced on the net, but I think I'll wait until there's better quality versions before I post anything up.
I will put the links here for those who are curious though:
Pucchimoni V - Pira! Otome no Onegai
Tanpopo# - Umbrella
Aa! - Yume to Genjitsu

Morning Musume Graduates Reunion
I've been waiting and waiting for someone to upload this TV show that was on recently... and someone actually did!!
Although it's not the whole show, it's really nice to see the graduates together on TV again =)
It's not subbed, but I might be able to help you out a bit with the translation X)
Translation:
This one just shows the basic history of the Morning Musume and how they've got so popular.
Towards the end, Producer Tsunku is talking about how Tsuji was such a trouble-maker, and that the staffs used to get so angry with her and always had to tell her off. (haha) And he refers her as a "4 or 5 years-old boy"
Translation:
Here, Yanagihara Kanako (comedian) sugguests that she wants to dance to their songs together.
But before they move on, Oota (comedian-Bakushoumondai) asks FUJIWARA (comedians) if they've been to their concerts.
Fujimoto (FUJIWARA) says they went to Nakazawa Yuko's Graduation Concert.
He says how his comedian partner Haranishi shouted "Yu-chan don't graduate~!" although he didn't know anything about her back then and that it was the very first concert live they've been to. (then everybody laughed)
Moving on, they've danced "Renai Revolution 21" together XP (so funny!)
After their dances, they kept going on about how it's really tough to dance and sing at the same time and that Morning Musume was/is amazing!
Translation:
After going back through their memories, they've spotted on Tsuji again.
Yaguchi says: "When I used to be the leader of Mini Moni, I couldn't see Tsuji as a human being. She was a MONSTER. She used to cry about everything, and I used to scold her everyday. I tell her to not make the same mistake every again, but she does the same thing the very next day."
Oota: "For example?"
Yaguchi: "For example, she doesn't listen when people are talking. Even at meetings she keeps eating snacks. So I tell her off, but then she cries. After seeing her crying every single time, I've decided not to be deceived by her tears anymore. And after training myself to think like that, even NOW, I don't feel anything when she cries. For me, it was/is a trauma X( " (haha)
Then she kept going on about how she was like about to meet her parents and say "sorry for scolding so much, but it's for her own good". (lol) And that's when she knew how Nakazawa (the leader back then) felt as a leader.
Oota goes: "Do you remember any of this?"
Tsuji: "Yes, I do remember. I was scolded everyday. She used to scold me so much that in my mind it was just like "oh, she's angry again" (hahaha)
Oota: "So her scolding didn't mean anything!" (lol)
Then they kept going on and on about how she has successfully managed to get married and have baby and live her own life as an adult and as a mother.
Tsuji goes: "Now that I'm a mother, I can now understand how Yaguchi used to scold me just like a "mother". When I used to be in Morning Musume, I didn't really get to see my mother that much, so Yaguchi has treated me well just like a real "mother". (Aww..)
Wow. I didn't thik it'd be this long, but I hope it helped and I hope it makes sense... XP haha Enjoy.

Morning Musume Nanchatte Renai PV Preview
A short preview of Morning Musume's upcoming single Nanchatte Renai
It looks pretty good, but nothing really out of the ordinary. Just a dance-shot and close-ups of Takahashi and Reina.

Banana Vault: 2008 H!P CM CONTEST
I was just watching some H!P videos today, and came across these clips.
It was a contest between members from Morning Musume, Berryz Koubo, ºC-ute and Mano Erina, where they had to come up with concepts for commercials for ice-cream, ramune soft drink and a fan.
I was only able to find clips from Ume-san, Momoko, Maimi and Airi. But they're really funny to watch! And interesting to see how each member handles the commercials XD
In the end, the contest was won by Captain (YAY!! Captain!)

Buono! New PIZZA-LA CM!
Yuummm~! *drools* And they're so cute! =D

Banana A and I used to like the narrator of Airi's CM that said, "Tama~go~!" haha

This is just OUR review of the concert, so please don't get angry or be offended by our opinion.

01. SONGS
As I've been listening to this song over and over in my ipod, I was a little bit disappointed with the performance..
02. Naichau Kamo
As I've been listening to this song over and over in my ipod, I was a little bit disappointed with the performance..
Maybe because it's the first song they sang and they were still nervous? I don't know.. but it's still one of my favorite songs =)
02. Naichau Kamo
03. Mikan
04. Shouganai Yume Oibitio
Awesome song.
Ditto.
05. Jounetsu no Kiss o Hitotsu (Takhashi Ai, Niigaki Risa & Tanaka Reina)
Very... Hot!! haha Omgsh Gaki-san, what changed you? Her facial expression and her moves just grabbed my attention at first sight in this performance. O_O

06. Kataomoi no Owari ni (Kamei Eri)
For the first time (from my memory..) Eri looked pretty confident with her solo performance. Very nice.
07. Fine Emotion (Junjun & Linlin)
08. Watashi no Miryoku ni Kizukanai Donkan na Hito (Mitsui Aika solo, Junjun & Linlin as backup dancers)
Mitsui. NO.
09. Yowamushi (Niigaki Risa)
I really liked this performance! Niigaki sang well and I really liked how she looked, from her hair to her outfit!
Awesome performance! Usually she has a manly voice when she sings (in our opinion), but I love her ballad singing voice.

10. It's You (Michishige Sayumi solo, Takahashi Ai & Kamei Eri as backup dancers)
Maybe if this performance wasn't after Niigaki's I would have liked it more... Michishige's outfit was SO bad (I kind of liked her shoes though), and she's not the best singer. I'll just say this performance urked me, and it was kind of hard to watch.

I totally agree with Banana A. To me, the back-dancers (Ai-chan & Kame) dance, were more eye-catching. I think..
~ Special Medley ~
11. Love Machine
12. Renai Revolution 21
13. SEXY BOY ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~
14. THE Manpower!!!
15. Aozora ga Itsumade mo Tsuzuku You na Mirai de Are! (Linlin solo, then the rest of the members joined in)
~ End of Special Medley ~
Favourite part of the medley has GOT to be LINLIN! Oh. my. god. Her solo was SO GOOD! Her gospel voice! Guaaahhh! In awe!
I also liked the transition from SEXY BOY to THE Manpower, I thought that was really neat.

Linlin! She should have more solo songs! I admire her a lot in this one X)
I also loved how they've done to sound more like a "disco" music.
16. Kousui (Kusumi Koharu & Junjun)
I liked this performance too... Although, the singing wasn't amazing, and I think the harmonies were lip-synched

17. The Bigaku (Tanaka Reina)
18. Yume Kara Samete (Takahashi Ai)
For some reason, I didn't enjoy as much this time for Ai-chan's solo..
19. Take off is now! (Takahashi Ai, Niigaki Risa & Tanaka Reina)
This was awesome, as usual.
This was awesome, as usual.
The intro was great! but I think I still prefer last year's performance (Resonant Live)...
20. Guru Guru JUMP (Kusumi Koharu, Junjun & Linlin)
The infamous Guru Guru JUMP outfits...

21. HOW DO YOU LIKE JAPAN? ~Nihon wa Donna Kanji Dekka?~
Reina's tail!! It annoyed me the WHOLE time! I really wanted to pull it off and burn it!

Overall Impression:
Well, I definitely enjoyed it more than 2008's Resonant Live! Especially Niigaki's solo and the medley with Linin's solo. But I've only watched one full Morning Musume concert prior to this one, so I don't really have much to compare it to. And I haven't heard all the studio recordings of all the songs they sang either. However, I did genuinely enjoy this concert!
Damn, I'm a sucker for harmonies! This song is totally awesome, but I think it's been overused in concerts now. Especially as an ending song...

The fist thing that came up in my mind... How many times did they change their outfits!?!? haha (they've like changed their outfits for almost every single song! lol) My favorite performance in this concert's got to be "Jyounetsu no Kiss wo Hitotsu", aaand the best performance award goes to.. Gaki-san (overall)!
She has impressed me a lot in this concert X)
