If i understood it correctly, it will be double A side, the titles are

わがまま気のまま~愛のJOKE~ (Wagamama ki no mama ai no JOKE) = In the midst of being selfish/spoiled ~ Love Joke ~

and

愛の軍団　(Ai no Gundan) = Love's army

According to Fuku-chan, the first song's dance will be divided into two groups with some intense dance battle!!!

and for Ai no Gundan, the dance will be military-like, with the hand salutation pose.

Ishida also invites you to look at the dance shots which will be uploaded soon!

It will first be sang in the Hello! Summer tour!

The choreography sounds pretty cool, hopefully the songs are equally as good.

First date of the summer tour is July 27th, not long now! Seems like they're doing a similar promo blitz to Brainstorming, a month and change seems like short notice for a single but it'll probably work in their favor.

I'm interested to see what kind of tv performances they'll do this time around, with C-ute getting a Music Japan invite for this week and all.

I'm really excited for this single!

Dance battles, armies... I wish they'd throw a gundam in there just for the heck of it.

GO MOMUSU!!! FYEAH!

Oh man, how can you not feel hyped up for this single after reading all of that.

Estrea · « **Reply #7 on:** July 19, 2013, 02:12:03 AM »

Personally I like how Tsunku has such a hands-on approach to writing the songs....there are some people who say that sometimes he gets into a rut and then we get a few singles of utter crap (I do not deny this...

), so it's really kind of a risk to bet everything on the creativity of one person, but when Tsunku is on a roll, he's on a roll. He literally works on everything: the music, the lyrics, the whole freaking concept of the song. Of course, to this day I don't think I'll ever understand why Pyoko Pyoko Ultra required chicken outfits. But that's just me. And then again, Tsunku is a troll. We know this.

But I think it's really cool how his initial concept of a song morphs even as he is recording the demo tape. He improvises, makes changes, and hell, for Brainstorming, they changed the choreography RIGHT THAT DAY ON THE FILMING. That's the kind of attention to detail that makes me really respect the man. I might not always agree with or understand his logic, but you can really perceive his passion for the music he's producing. And you gotta give props to that.

ERIPON'S ARMS! RELEASED! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Somehow, Maachan looks so innocently clueless standing there in the middle like that

So cute

That's a pretty decent track record of good songs right there.

they should start styling sakura's hair in a similar fashion to this more often - imo it looks alot better than the bangs look she's usually rockin'

Tsunku san's comments were fascinating to read,was glad to see his encouraging words for Kanon:

Suzuki’s dance is a lot sharper now. Her singing has more power in it now too.
Now if she could improve on the way she ends a note while singing, it’d be even better.
I hope that she finds more confidence in herself, regain her original humorous character, and then bring that to perfection.

Since there isn't anything really new to discuss, thought I'd share a pic of Ishida in one of the single costumes. I think the dresses are pretty cute!

Mage77 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 22, 2013, 08:09:55 PM »

The dresses look really elegant. Props to the costume department for hitting a home run on this one.

Man that was good.

Like "I feel like I need a smoke, but I don't even smoke" good. Going back to watch it again.

To quote Zukki's shirt: OMG!

I'll consider this my BD present...

They continue on the cool line...

Omg those synchronized arms... It's funny, it reminds me of this thing Slack recently linked on IRC, it was these J-men doing a concert, can't remember the name... But they did very powerful synchronized danced moves... Ack.

ANYWAY! YES. Love. I just still can't believe how far MM has come as a dancing unit >o<

And ugh yes the song is cool.

Pants for Sayu and Eripon!

Slack · « **Reply #19 on:** July 24, 2013, 05:34:06 PM »

I was reminded of WORLD ORDER too! Especially the slow-marching parts and arm movements, like you said.

I'd also just like to note that Sayu looks SO GOOD in that pair of high-waisted pants.

A bit of a mystery why they didn't translate "Gundan" ("army") in the subtitles though. You'd think it would make the theme of their costumes more obvious to the non-Japanese-speaking audience. That's who the subtitles are for anyway, right?
