Not trying to get too off topic but I've seen this line of "why didn't xyz get special treatment like abc member for their graduation" come up a lot with regard to Shabadabadoo so I think it's fair to address it here. Consider that Takahashi was the very first member to get a graduation single, which means when Gaki's turn came around they were still trying it out and figuring out how they were going to do it - and honestly what she got was nicely done and in no way disrespectful to her sacrifices or legacy as a Momusu member. Of course everyone wants to see their favorite go out on a high note (no pun intended), but we can't re-do what's already been done so I wouldn't worry too much about it or let it get in the way of enjoying the current single. Aside from that, I think that one of the great things about Momusu is that everyone is given a chance to shine in their own way, especially in the case of Gaki: Gaki fans were fortunate enough to get both her as center of the Athena & Robikerottsu singles along with getting an entire solo cover album release.


Um, anyway I think the new single is great  :sweatdrop: I can't wait for the full pv of Sayu's song, it's perfect for her and one of the cutest releases H!P has ever done!

Gonna point out - I wasn't trying to start a complaining session. I don't think you were saying I was. I was just saying I am conflicted. I really like the song, but I almost want to not. But I can't! The song IS painfully perfect for Sayu makes me laugh like crazy, translation-wise. It's sort of like Tsunku gently making fun of Sayu/Sayu making fun of herself. Which is just fantastic.

Moving along to Mikaeri Bijin, someone pointed out on facebook (I think?) and I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but the girls' costumes are made up solely of the colors of the last 4 graduating members, and that is REALLY touching. I almost want to say it's just coincidence, but then again it probably IS the type of thing they would do. I want to believe it was on purpose, dammit.   :)

Second, I was doing SO GOOD watching the PV without tears. But then the shot with Duu crying as she read the letters Sayu supposedly wrote.  :mon surr:  I'm kind of hoping she DID write short notes to them all and there actually WAS something to read. But if not, go Duu with the ability to cry on cue? Reminds me of the shot that went around all the news sites like wildfire of Yossy crying when she graduated.

I have mixed feelings about this single as a whole. Tiki Bun is OK but quite forgettable, the chorus is passable but that's all. MIkaeri Bijin is a pretty song but the voices make me cringe. They're supposed to fit the enka style but they sound too rough. At least they sound mature and less squeaky than usual :P Also, the prosody of the lyrics isn't quite there and it makes me mad.

As for Shabadabadoo, the music is pure genius. Way to compose one of the most unique tunes in years and have the worst voice in H!P history sing it... but then Sayumi has done an outstanding work considering the raw material she has to work with.

As for MVs, Tiki Bun is the same old, Mikaeri Bijin is gorgeous but OMG those dresses, and Shabadabadoo is, again, the gem of the bunch. Cute and stylish  and perfectly executed.

My, so many ups and downs in just one single.

My physical copy of the single just got here :D

Now I don't feel bad about downloading the songs from online since Mikaeri Bijin wasn't on itunes. I also got The Possible's album 1116

Got a Mizuki card!

I'm really disappointed about the lack of Mikaeri Bijin love that went down. There were no performances of the song that were shown and like you said the song nor video were on itunes. I really like the song so it's seems like such a waste. Like why make a triple A-side when you treat it like a double A-side. Maybe it just didn't test very positively in Japan or there were some agreement with the songwriter? Or they don't care much since it is a different songwriter

I don't know anything about Mikaeri Bijin's popularity in Japan, but I feel like it makes sense to not perform it in their TV appearances. From all the appearances I've watched, they've been emphasizing that it's Sayu's final appearance with Morning Musume on the shows. It would be kind of weird to highlight that, and then have the girls perform a song without Sayu. I feel like the only way to incorporate Sayu into that song live would be to have her wander nostalgically between the girls as they dance, but that could end up just being creepy. XD

Apparently complain and you shall receive lol.

Morning Musume'14 - Mikaeri Bijin

Performance of Mikaeri Bijin that's really pretty. I love when they get to perform with live musicians.

Though yeah wondering Sayu is a little strange... Still looked nice though

Just have to say how much I am going to love Shaba Daba Doo as my beloved Sayu's final release as a member of MM.  It is amazing!  So full of pinkness, cuteness, that unique voice, delightful costuming and all else you could wish for.  And the lyrics...  wow, such an honest reflection of various aspects of her career, from her off-key voice to her skin problems to her energetic leadership...  I will be watching this into my old age in memory of Sayu!

I only pray that she will continue to do single releases, though I fear it won't happen.  But this has such entertainment value, and it's so watchable and listenable, heck, who cares if she can't actually sing that well!

Anyone any thoughts about who is the "you" she speaks of in the middle of the song?  Just trying to work that out...

Overall, this is a treasure of Sayumin which ranks along with Lalala no Pipipi and Rainbow Pinku as amazing memories.

I'm a mature guy but the tears are welling up right now!  With no shame...
