You know what I miss in current Morning Musume single releases? The photobook limited edition version. Remember they used to have those for Kanashimi Twillight, Mikan, Pepper Keibu and a couple more. They were only 1200 yen, but the 32 page booklet was always very nice.

The latest singles had up to seven versions, but they are all sorta similar in terms of content. I'd rather have three properly made versions:
- Regular (just the songs)
- Limited with DVD (which should have ALL the bonus clips they now spread over the various versions)
- Limited with PB

Bottom line: I want more value for money 

Actually, you can take it one step further and argue each CD should come with a nice booklet anyway...

Double post since this is totally unrelated to the above one.

Morning Musume's songs were featured in " Pressure Battle!! Akko-gun vs. Kiyohara-gun Bancho Koso SP (121011)"

Japanese celebrities participated in blindfolded karaoke and one of the Fujiwara guys sang five MM songs. Sadly, all old gen again:
- Love Machine
- Renai Revolution 21
- The Peace
- Happy Summer Wedding
- Shabondama

Aw well, makes sense in this context I guess. It was pretty entertaining anyway

During today's concert MC with Sayu, Maachan apparently called her Minishige-san

a summary of how Maachan called the other members from 2ch
   

  道重→さゆみさん さゆみん 道重～ 道重ちゃーーん みにしげさん
    田中→たなもぉ～ たなさたん たなさん たなたん　　　　　　　
    矢島→ナカジマさん 矢口さん
    愛理→高橋さん
    鞘師→しゃやししゃん 鞘師すん
    生田→うぃくたさん
    譜久→福原さん
    工藤→おい、はる！ Ｄｏどぅー(呼び方：でぃおーどぅー）はーさん
    須藤→まあささん
    石田→あぬみん
    萩原→まいちゃん　秋葉原さん
    飯窪→春なん はろなん
    熊井→E（えりな）
    真野→真野ちゃん

She's either an evil genius poking fun at their expense masking it with adorableness or just that ridiculously airheaded.
Either way she wins    :blush:

Tried translating a bit of the MC transcripts

川* ^_〉^)＜What kind of cakes do you like, Oda-chan?
小田＜ Bûche de Noël
川* ^_〉^)＜？
从*´ ヮ｀)＜ What's a Bûche de Noël?
小田＜ During Christmas... it's made like a tree..

During this time Maachan's looking at Ikuta for an explanation and not listening

从*･ ｡.･) ＜ Wait, are you even listening? What did Oda-chan say just now?
川* ^_〉^)＜ Eeh..
川* ^_〉^)＜ but I thought Oda-chan would love something chocolate flavored
小田＜ It is chocolate!!
川* ^_〉^)＜ Yay!!

从*･ ｡.･) ＜ Fuku-chan do you know what it is?
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘）＜ I do
从*･ ｡.･) ＜ As i thought it's the kind of cake for that kind of person huh
[spoiler]Sayu　 从*･ ｡.･)
Reina　 从 ´ ヮ｀)　
Mizuki　 ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘）
Masaki 　川* ^_〉^)[/spoiler]

Fukuhime would know of course  :whistling:   

Reina karaoke - Yowasete Mojito (Golden Bomber)


Reina karaoke - Motokare Korosu (Golden Bomber)

LOL at Reina's "fuck fuck fuck..." in Moto Kare korosu xD

That song sounded familiar  :blink: googled a bit and i just realized it's from the same guy doing Ixion Saga DT's soundtrack only with different lyrics


Tried translating a bit more of MM' night concert MC fan reports
Fukumura and Sayashi MC

"Something you'd like to say to each other"

Sayashi->Fukumura
 ﾉﾘ*´ｰ´ﾘ > Why do i have to keep explaining my mails over and over again until you get it? When we mailed each other, she always replied back to me asking "hey what does this phrase/word means?"
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） > That's because even though Riho-chan's a second year middle school student she knows a lot of difficult words
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） > and because Mizuki knows too few ...

ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） > Even though you're just a 2nd year middle school student, you're too smart
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） > We did an interview yesterday, right? I didn't understand the four character idiom you said at the end there too
 ﾉﾘ*´ｰ´ﾘ > Did i say anything like that ... ? Aaah was it something like "I'll cultivate my character by studying hard!" ? 『切磋琢磨します』
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） > Not that! I know that much!
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） > I know that much!

Tennen-boke Mizuki's just too cute  :blush:


During Reborn stage play, apparently Sayashi borrowed Mizuki's Shakespeare book. She still hasn't returned it after a year and because she's forgetful enough to lose her jinbei  ...

Fukumura->Sayashi
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） > Riho-chan, please hurry and return my Shakespeare book. My younger brother needs it to finish his book report.
 ﾉﾘ*´ｰ´ﾘ > I didn't lose it! I even found my jinbei last night!
 ﾉﾘ*´ｰ´ﾘ > I'll take a picture of that jinbei and the Shakespeare book next time
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） > Ok then when you return the book give me a picture of you wearing that jinbei as well ...
ﾉﾘ*´ｰ´ﾘ > Eh ? Sure but why?
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） > Yossha!!

I wonder if that picture's going to Sayu's private collection or her own stash lol

We have so many interesting characters in MM right now it's awesome.

川* ^_〉^)＜Why am i not included?
ﾊo´ ｡｀ﾙ＜That's because i already know you and Oda-chan gets along very well, so i'm sure she'll answer "Sato-san"
小田＜Then, Tanaka-san?

小田＜Just a while ago in the dressing room, Sato-san said
 川* ^_〉^)＜ go cling to Tanasa-tan

小田＜but Tanaka-san said "It's okay" so i hugged her from behind
小田＜after that i'm sure she'll give be like "Hmph" and give me a cold shoulder, but instead she said "good job" to me kindly
从*･ ｡.･) ＜I never thought the day would come i'd see this kind of Reina

D'awww Reina ... still can't think of Masaki as anyone's senpai though

Michishige loves teasing Fuku-chan
(in a quiz about past Musumes, the answer was "I love to put a lot of quail eggs into my curry" from Fujimoto Miki's self-introduction
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） ＜Aah i just watched this video yesterday ... but i don't remember this part
从*･ ｡.･) ＜You watched it yesterday and you already forgot ... so that means you're not interested about Fujimoto-san at all then
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） ＜ !!! (panic)
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） ＜ No! No, i don't mean that!

(still talking about curry)
ﾊo´ ｡｀ﾙ＜In my family, my younger brother really doesn't like his vegetables so we hide it until it looks like it's just meats and sauce
从*･ ｡.･) ＜How about you, Fuku-chan? Somehow it seems like you'd add something amazing ... caviar?
wota< lol
ノﾉ∮‘ _l‘） ＜We just add cold mangoes from the refrigerator
ﾊo´ ｡｀ﾙ＜The difference is pretty fierce huh? In Kudou's house it's just the sauce mostly

Japanese curry with mangoes ... i have to try that sometimes  :fear:
