Wonder what "updated" means in this context.

I would guess like, 2007-present since that was the last time they released a best of album but since those Wagamama/Gundan posters were pretty aggressive about this being the "new" Momusu, I guess it could go either way! I'm pretty excited about it, I hadn't realized how long it had been since their last official best of releases.

What if.....they re-record the old songs with the current members?

Credit for this speculation goes to J-Tri btw.

Actually credit goes to Estrea, since that's who I got the idea from...

But yeah, the "updated" in the title and the musical direction of recent singles seem to point to a possible C-ute-style revival, which I would love to see. At least hopefully more effort than the new "Anata Nashi" on the last Berryz album.

re-recorded songs by 10-nin Morning Musume includes remixes and rearrangements. 15 tracks.

that sounds awesome

Mage77 · « **Reply #7 on:** August 14, 2013, 06:57:33 PM »

15 tracks huh? I wonder how many (if any) of these will be recent releases.

I wonder if it'll be a mixture of re-recordings and recent singles, like C-ute's album?

I guess it depends on what (if anything) gets re-recorded, but I'm ambivalent -- especially if they go to the Golden Era well. Most everyone complains that the current MoMusu can't escape the spectre of the OGs; re-recording "Love Machine" or "Ren'ai Revolution 21" would just reinforce that, I think. I love that the current girls are finally making a name for themselves -- it's "We are today's Morning Musume;" it shouldn't be "We are today's Morning Musume covering yesterday's Morning Musume's hits."

Another thing: with C-ute (and even Berryz), the same girls (minus a few here and there) performed on both versions. Depending on how far back they go here, this could very much sound like a squeaky Morning Musume cover group (again, I love today's MoMusu, but I don't think they're as strong vocally as most of the previous incarnations, at least not yet).

Sorry if I come across as grumpy. If it shows up on iTunes, I'll probably grab it. But I'd rather have a whole album of new material.

As long as the group is called Morning Musume comparisons will be drawn with the Golden Era. It's lazy reporting/interviewing/whatever but that's just how it is.

As far as the album goes, it'd be happy if it was 15 re-recordings. I'd also be happy if there's some new material in there. I guess I'm pretty easy to please.

I don't know if it's real since there's only 13 tracks instead of 15 but we can just change it if the real thang pops up xD

I WISH BY THE CHILDREN AH

I'M IN

BUT IT BETTER STILL BE A CUTE AND INNOCENT SONG

Mage77 · « **Reply #12 on:** August 15, 2013, 07:11:43 PM »

That's a pretty good tracklist assuming it's accurate. Wonder what's up with the 2 missing tracks though, unless the initial information wasn't correct and there's actually only 13 after all.

Mucca · « **Reply #13 on:** August 15, 2013, 07:42:19 PM »

^Could be a new song (or two) not accounted for. The two prior best of albums and the singles collection all had a new track on them. (C-ute's album with the re-recordings had a new song as well, I believe.)

Mage77 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 15, 2013, 08:10:27 PM »

Yeah, I guess it'd make sense to keep us in the dark about new songs at this stage huh?

J-Triumf · « **Reply #15 on:** August 15, 2013, 08:46:57 PM »

I'd assume the missing tracks could be "Wagamama" and "Ai no Gundan", since they, as well as the other recent singles since their last album, need an album of their own to call home.

I'm looking forward to this album if it really is staying true to the remix/rearrangement promise, because I love the idea of remixes and modernizing classics with some new life. On the other hand, I'm not looking forward to the likely divisive reactions this album will undoubtedly create.

I'm sure there are already people who are against this on principle, plus there will definitely be genre/style biases in play (of which I'm admittedly guilty of myself).

If that track listing holds true, I'm definitely looking forward to the new versions of "I Wish", "The Manpower", and "RR21" , but on the other hand I'm nervous about what they would do with "Souda! We're Alive" and "The Peace". But no matter what, new perspectives on old works will be an interesting experience, and combined with the inclusion of newer songs this will be a great way to bridge the gap between past and present.

I'm confused by the inclusion of "Renai Hunter" and "One Two Three", considering those were already on the last album and already fit into the current musical style...unless they're being reworked specifically to replace the graduates with Sakura.

Sammi33 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 16, 2013, 08:56:21 AM »

I can dream, but I think Zukki would be awesome as one of the leads on Manpower...but it will probably be Riho/Sakura or Riho/Hime
